Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
w.

The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the properly prepared
liquid laxative will bring a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is the best laxative for every
body. SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
liquid laxative which relies on SIENNA
for its laxative action. 1t has the

''Secret Russian" Papers

ATHENS, Greece-One reason why
the unemployment problem has never
been as serious in the Balkans as 1t Is

ing business which goes on here in the

The number of persons engaged in

All the gentry who used to do business
in Central Europe seem to have moved
into the Balkans, partly because the
racket was SO thoroughly exposed in
Berlin and partly because there are
fewer and fewer great powers interested
in believing" horrid things about

The technique In the secret docu-

Opportunity Faces
Machine Tool Makers.
John Haydock, associate editor,
American Machinist, New York
"More efficient manufacturing equip
ment is the answer to the problem of
keeping prices within bounds in the
/ face Of rising wages and commodity
prices under the N. R. A. codes of fair
competition. Just as the machinery
industries suffered the greatest set
back during the last three years. they
have the greatest opportunity for
change in the upside.
This trend Is already evident. Be-
tween April and October the national
machine tool builders index of gross
orders rose 400 per cent. Continued
improvement appears inevitable because
large majority of manufacturing
plants are woefully behind in their
replacement programs.
Activity in the invention and de-
velopment of new machinery has been
unusually pronounced during the past
year In anticipation of a restored

models. These, of course, make old
equipment obsolete and will furnish a
strong stimulus to plant moderniza-

Home Builders
Look 10 Federal Financing.

Joseph B. Mason, managing editor.
American Builder, Chicago.-''In the
belief some sort of Federal long term
financing TOR individual home owners
will be forthcoming early in 1884, con-
tractors and builders and the home
building industry in general. are look
ing forward to year of greatly in
creased home building and construction
activity.
Lack of long term financing is the
only thing now holding up a home
building and repair backlog of S10,-
O00, 100000. The practically complete
stoppage of new home building and of
undermining and repairs in the last
three years has built up this backlog.
1.-The average annual expenditure
upon home building and home modern
izing in the United States in the five
years ending with 1928 was $780,
600, 900 per year. The average for the
five years ending in 1888 was $780,
O00, 900 per year. Home building in
1888 was less than l per cent OF the
volume carried on in 1921.
"The home building industry Is now
organizing for drive to obtain ST.
900 ,000, 900 for Federal loans for home
building and repairs to be secured by
mortgages on the property. A billion
dollars to finance home building would
stimulate more than twice that volume
of private construction work. More
than two million men would be put to
work on home building and repair
activities.
'The bulk of the residential construc-
ton in. 1894 will be in towns and vii
lagos and rural sections, and in the out
lying suburbs of the largest cities. Low

dollar class will predominate. Archi-

home building plans, stating that lack
of financing is the only deterrent to

the past trend of increasing production
of milk so that by the end of 1884

slightly freer from burdensome growing
surpluses of milk. and better prices

THE hog curtailment program is eI-
pected to produce a much smaller hog

the year, with the probability of some
what better prices. But the slaughter
in the last half probably will be above
normal, due to the fact that farmers
sold only small pigs and held back their
brood sows Beef will be plentiful and
beef profits as small as usual.
In the baking field there can be
expected only moderate price increases
due to the effect of processing taxes and
