A laxative that works Just
right for you, can work havoc
with a child.
The laxative habit can be
contracted at the age of six.
The wrong laxative can give
children chronic constipation

IMPORTANT, Mothers!
Doctors urge the use of a
liquid laxative for children;
preferably one with SIENNA. A

Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastine
By STANLEY BIGELOW

The financial maze in which
Ed Wynn's sudden withdrawal
left the Amalgamated Broadcast
ing System (Which he sired and
nursed along several months) is
in the process of being cleared up.
Negotiations started last week,
according to New York sources,
point to the operation Of this
new chain by the Metro-G oldwyn-
Mayer Productions company.
Although the bargaining Is far
from complete, it is predicted
that, while Ota Gygi, present
head of A. B. S., and other execu-
tives will be retained, program
control will be exclusively in the
hands of the film interests.
