WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts. min- eral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely. your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick. bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system Is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER FILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful. harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when 1t comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name IRA, Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red S@ label. Resent Q substitute. 26c at drug =. stores. 0l93l C. M. Co. s.ss.g

accessible to the public. But it will be more SO now that 6S-scre tract on the south side of the falls has been presented to the city for park purposes. At one time the land was included in plans for state park. but they never materialzed. It is unfortunate that much of the pieturesqueness of the falls has been destroyed of recent years by wa- ter diversion for power purposes and also by pollution of the Snake river. That's one of the saddest things of what we term civiliza- ton. Natural resources are sacrificed for the artificial. We certainly hope that Shoshone Falls can be retained as one of the scenic wonders of the West. They deserve to be ranked among the outstanding wonders of the United States. If there were more eitI- zens like those who save such beauty spots this wouldn't be such commercial world that we dwell in.

viduals must join the ranks of the unem- ployed at a time when those ranks are swollen. However. politics is a risky game for all who play it. They must be pre- pared to share in their party's defeats as we'll as successes. What happens to-day is no different than what happened in 1921.
 In Connecticut distribution of federal patronage will undoubtedly be controlled by several individuals. That is only natural. There are democrats who worked harder for the Roosevelt cause before he was nom- mated for the presidency who naturally ex- peet that their claims may take precedence over others. But party loyalty often trans- cends mere individual devotion. Demo- crats should not lose sight of the fact that there are workers who have been loyal to the party over long period of years dur ing which they often sacrificed personal ambitions for those of the party.
 Connecticut has three democratic con- gressmen to whom naturally the powers that be at Washington would look for sugges- tions and also approval when nominations to office. requiring legislative approval, are made. Party officials. such as the na- tional committeeman, state chairman, etc, must also be considered. In short no one individual should dominate the distribu- ton of federal patronage in state like Connecticut. We realize that there IS likely to be some conflict of opinion among leading democrats on this topic, therefore we make our suggestion for cooperative program in handling patronage rather than one-man control. It will mean for more party harmony when that is sought in 1884 and 1936.

Mayor "Tony" Cermak

Events have happened with great rapldity in this nation of ours of recent days. So much SO that some of us are hard pressed to come up with the times. We see newly-named cabinet member stricken as he speeds towards the nations Capital to par tioipate in an inaugural and his own formal acceptance of the oath of office; Roosevelt IS duly inaugurated and then plunged into financial maelstrom; Mayor Anton J. Ger mak of Chicago dies at Miami from the ef- fects of a bullet wound, the same bullet that was aimed at our new president.
 It was particularly discouraging to read that Chicago's mayor had died early yester- day morning after valiant fight. His con- dition had changed so often that most of us were convinced he would eventually win bis way back to health. That wasn't to be and Chicago now mourns with the rest of the nation man who worked his way up from the coal mines to the position of chief executive of the second city in our land to the position of confidant of national political leaders, to position of intimacy with the new president, to a position of power and prominence.
 1t must be pointed out that Mayor Ger mak achieved his greatest fame at period when his city was enjoying its lowest level of prosperity. Chicago to-day is city hopelessly enmeshed in financial tangles. However. this condition was none of Ger mak's doing. He came to the head of the Chicago civic government when the damage had been done. Who knows but what he might have been able to lead the city out of darkness into the light. At any rate if grim persstency was to be rewarded certain ly Cermak would have attained his end. That characterized his entire career. He had to fight for every step of advancement,
 We rather imagine that Cermak figured prominently in the selection of Chicago, bankrupt city, as the site of both the repub- lican and democratic national conventions last year. Certainly he was sparing no pains to make the Worlds Fair this sum- mer modern epic, perhaps financial bo- nanza for the city of his adoption. A strange figure in American politics he was typical of the ntaion. Not as picturesque as New York's one-time Jimmie" Walker he seemed to attract attention fully as much and certainly his power in national circles penetrated deeper and had more firmly -an- chored roots. Chicago will look long be- fore it finds another figure as powerful as his was

It's Winnipesaukee Now

For the benefit of those who delight in tripping up their friends in spelling out difficult words, we call to their attention the fact that Winnipesaukee is no longer Winnepesaukee. It's Winnipesaukee And even if your encyclopedias, dictionaries or other lexicons say differenetly you can still prove your point. That is, if you want to go to some trouble and the expense of few stamps. However, consider this editorial as sufficient proof until the refer- enee books have made the change in spell- ing.
 The United States Geographic board recognized federal authority on the proper spelling of geographical names, has just decided that an ti'' and not an e. shall be used in the second syllable of Winnipesaukee heneeforth. Of course some concurrent action was needed to make this above board. so the New Hampshire in the question of spelling its most beauti- ful lake correctly. The two deliberative bodies have agreed.r. It will be an 'ii'' and not an e..
 It seems that there were so many differ ent spellings of Winnipesaukee that the authorities were appealed to to make de- clson. As the secretary of the Geographic Board says, We have record of l32 diff ferent ways of spelling the name of that lake, Now there is only one correct way of spelling it. So get it right the first time, folks. U It's Wlpnlpesaukee, not Winnepe- saukee.

 Here's an authoritative story of how Congressman Willis c. Hawley of Oregon, father of the Hawley- Shoot tariff happened to be de- feated in the primaries last year after 25 years in congress. He was one of the most assiduous and suc- cessful of all ,congressmen in get ting federal appropriations for his district-he figures it was about $55, 100000 in all.
 But he wangled one appropria- tion too many when he got $2,- OO0,000 appropriation for a sol diers' home for the northwest, fought off neighboring states which wanted it and finally promised it to the town of Roseburg, Ore, in his own district. Other counties in the district then demanded chance at getting the project but Hawley kept his word to Roseburg. Ensu- ing bitterness was responsible for more than the 200 adverse votes by which he was defeated. Now he wishes his appropriations record had been kept at $53,000,000.

AHero Who
 Had No Luck

One of the most glamorous anI luckless of all the glamorous and luckless men of the Confectionery was Pierre Gustav Toutant Beaure' gard. In "Beauregard-the Great Creole" Hamilton Basso brings him down out of the portrait gal lery and exhibits him in remark ably warm and human manner.
 Beauregard seemed to have been born to glory. He was handsome, talented, well-born, ardent, the kind of man the stars often fight for. He commanded the forces that bombarded Fort Sumter. he shared command at the first battle of Bull Run.
 For a time it looked as if he would inevitably be the Confeder- acys plumed knight. In. New Or leans men said, "Ah-General Lee; I have heard General Beauregard speak well of him"
 And then something went wrong. Beauregard went to the west, fought with Grant at the fearful shambles of Shiloh, fell i'll, got into Jefferson Davis bad graces; and for the rest of the war he was a sort of fifth wheel. He defended Charleston ably, he fought nobly below Petersburg, but he was in bad at Richmond; MT Basso thinks President Davis displayed narrow minded spleen in his treatment of him.
 So his war career remained an unrealized opportunity. And after ward he lent his name to the Louisiana lottery-honorably. but mistakenly-and he. attacked Jef- ferson Davis bitterly in print, and the south turned on him. His sto is a tragic one, and MT Basso h presented it well.

Here, There And EuerytDhere
ATTY GENERAL CUMMINGS
(New Haven Journal-Courier)

(NeW Haven JOuTHdl-SOurlSTJ
 The consensus of Connecticut is. certainly, in complete agreement with Homer s. Cummings state ment: "The circumstances which have led to my appointment as at torney general have filled me with. sorrow" But regret for the tragic death of one of the finest of our "elder statesmen" Thomas J.. Walsh, should not. certainly, pre- vent Connecticut from indulging in a bit of self-praise that native son has been selected to fill his place. And there is a further source of pride. It is not that New England will now be represented in the cabinet which will aid the new president in his initial attacks along the present problem front. 1t is that the state rests assured Homer Cummings, whether attor- ney general for but a few weeks before sailing for the Philippines, or for much longer period, will fill that office well.
 Discussion of this appointment need not be confined to local perspective. In the national view, President Roosevelt has made wise choice. At the time of his in- auguration he presented com- pleted cabinet; yet reserved pe- riod for a careful canvass of avail- able nominees before making . permanent decision. And that cab inet was completed with man thoroughly acquainted by expe- rience with national affairs, man of proven ability and integrity, a personal friend and supporter of his chief and in complete accord with his policies. We shall not be at all surprised if the present ap- pointment turns out the permanent one.
