Why
Liquid LaxatiVes
are Back in Favor
~

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 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 natural laxative. 1t
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin is a
liquid laxative which relies on SIENNA
for its laxative action. 1t has the
average persons bowels as regular as
clockwork in few weeks time.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready
for use. Member n. r. A.

Kimona sleeves are good style not
only for coats, but for dresses as well.
For a college-girl choice we would call
attention to the stunning rough crepe
frock on the girl seated In the picture.

Every college lassie should have a
tailored plaid wool daytime dress, now
that plaids are ''last word" from
Paris. The model pictured at the
right to the top in this group Is typi-
cally collegiate. The belt Is green
suede. However, the plaid story does
not finish with gay woolens, for the
most scrumptious plaid velvets have
arrived. They are being made up into
striking blouses-look wonderful with
monotone velvet skirts.
Two fashion tips cleaned from the
brown crepe dress with it's orange-col-
ored scarf (pictured to the left) Is the
mass shirring which decorates the
sleeves, the scarf and the belt, and
the fact that the skirt is sheath-ftting
according to latest fashion dictates.
Glimpse the bracelets, for massive
bracelets are necessary luxuries which
college maidens simply must have.

soft felt hats which look like mans
fedora. Our college girls like them

BLACK FOUNDATION
OF FALL WARDROBE

DESERVING the bright colors of mid
summer, the smart Parisienne has re-
turned to her favorite black for morn
ing, afternoon and evening. In a re-
cent interview French woman whose
name is synonymous with chic on two
continents, outlined typical Paris
wardrobe. For daytime, her choice is
a lightweight black wool coat. cut with
wide shoulders and trim fitted waist
line. This she wears over a black
sheer wool frock.
Her afternoon dresses include vel
low and black printed crepe. worn
with black gloves and a small draped
turban of black velvet. This she al
ternates with black satin jacket suit,
with white satin blouse.
For informal dining she wears a
simple black crepe frock, whose long
slender lines are accentuated by panels
of pale blue at the sides.

CHAPTER II
The Victim

nc NICCIn -
The president led Rankin, with Mr..
Warwick, the physician and Mr.
Fletcher upstairs to his bedroom
Rankin sought the bed on which the
body lay, now covered by a white
sheet. With only slight hesitation.
he removed it, to reveal a boy scarcely
twenty-five. whose breeding and edu-
cation were at once apparent. He had
shock of unruly light hair. Candor
was written In the staring blue eyes
the sophistication he might have pos
sessed was inoffensive and without
conceit. True, his chin suggested ir-
responsibility and his full lips, an ar
dent impetuous nature; but they were
insufficient to mar an unmistakable
innate refinement and sense of decency.
The character he read left the de-
tective more perplexed than before.
Under any circumstances. the murder
of a boy scarcely out of his teens and
still a student was mysterious; but
youth the victim appeared to be, II
was doubly battling. What motive.
Rankin reflected. could anyone have
for desiring Jordan's death and plan
ming it so subtly?
From his features, the detectives
attention passed to his hands. placed

son was already examining them; his
muffled exclamation brought Rankin

New Back-Flare Coat Is
Going to See Many Uses

The new back-fare coats which Molly
neux of Paris is designing at the very
moment are going to have far-reach
ing effect on future styles. Made In silk
or chiffon, they can be used for eve
ming coats as well as for swagger
sports coats, with gloves, hat and
shoes to match. There is a yoke at
the shoulders, beneath which gathers
fall in full sway. The length of the
coat is slightly shorter than three
quarters and the sleeves are straight
and come to the wrist. There is no
fastening unless it be button or bow

Lots of feathers adorn the new hats.
Elbow-length organdie gloves In
white are crispness itself.
Real jewels and fancy jewels are
featured for costume effects.
For fall and winter, nothing takes
the place of the flannel bathrobe.
The fact that women are becoming
more minded to set off evening Golf
fures with diamond jewelry is one of
the latest reports from Paris.

RECOGNIZING RUSSIA

Recognition by the United States of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
as Russia IS officially known, is now an
accomplished fact and the ridiculous as
well as embarrassing condition which has
existed between the two nations for 10
years is at an end.
AS pointed out in this column several
weeks ago. the people of Russia have as
much right to decide upon their form of
government as we have to decide upon
ours. There are many things about the
Soviet government that are contrary to
the American way of doing things, but
by the same token, the American form of
government was once just as repugnant
to those who believed in the divine right
of kings.
Recognition of Russia does not mean,
even inferentially, that we approve its
form of government or its attitude on po
litical, socil or economic affairs. 1t
merely comedies Russia the right to con-
duct its affairs as it wishes and informs
them that we are willing to treat with
them as nation.
Even during the past 16 years we have
conducted commercial, political and So
cial relations with Russia. 1t was aWk-
wardly done through third parties, as
when persons refuse to speak to each
other but conduct affairs through a mu-
tual friend.
We had an instance of the ridiculous
ness of this condition when the flyer,
Jimmy Mattern, was marooned IN ST.
IBERIA, Russia was anxious to help him
get back to American territory, but
could do little or nothing unless asked
to do so, because to aid him would mean
an invasion of American territory by a
Russian airplane. The American govern
ment could not ask help for him, because
in the eyes of the American government
there was no such thing as a Russian gov
ernment. The negotiations were therefor
conducted by New York brewery own
er and the commercial representative of
Russian syndicate.
The agreement entered into between
the United States, when boiled down,
only binds each country to mind its own
business it gives the nationals of one
country, when living in the other, the
rights ana privileges which internation-
al amity has instituted and seeks to pro-
mote trade relations between the two ma
tions.
Recognition Of Russia is a sensible step
and must be recognized as one of the out
standing accomplishments of the Roose-
welt administration.
