Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose Of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. 1t
forms no habit; you need not take
double DOSE q day OF two later.
Nor tDiN a mild liquid Laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose Of a liquid laxative
brings a perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
1t gently helps the average persons
bowels back to regularity. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which all druggists
keep ready for use. It makes an
ideal family laxative: effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. r. A.

a national conference early in Novem-
DER, at which time the CWA program
was outlined by Harry Hopkins, fed
cral relief administrator.
S2,0OO,0 900 Allotted Now
Williams said he was informed a
few days ago by Howard J. Taylor OF
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
hore that PWA allotments totaled ST.
100000 already have been set aside for
projects IN North Dakota. which will
get under way this spring as soon as
weather conditions permit.
Under the CWA, North Dakota orr
ginally was allotted 1900 jobs. Be-
cause of drought and other condi-
tons, the North Dakota quota later
was increased by 10000 jobs 10 ST.
600. This quota has been approach
ed for the last month. A majority Of
the men obtaining CWA jobs have
been farmers, Williams said.
The CWA program is estimated to
have reduced the number Of unem-
ployed throughout the country from
100000 to 100000. Not only do
! the workers receive benefits. the
speaker said. but merchants and bus
inessmen in general feel benefits
from the program indirectly.

though there = more ground covered
in the wheat allotment plan than
some Of those who Joined 1t knew or
expected.
But, what we want to know Is just
what does this statement really mean?
Does it mean that those joining the
allotment plan can farm no more
land to wheat than their contracts
call for, regardless as to how much
outside land they may own or rent,
or does it mean what It would seem
that wheat acreage on outside lands
cannot be increased to offset acreage
taken out Of wheat on contracted
land?
II it means the latter, how is the
farmer to know. how much wheat he
can plant on this outside land. since
in many cases the fact that no rec
ords Of production and acreage on
said land prevented him joining the
plan in the first place? It really looks
as though the government is trying
to beat the devil around the stump.
And how does this square up with
the assertion given farmers time and
again that the contracts referred on
~ to the land under contract and had
absolutely nothing to do with any
outside land owned or rented by the
producer?
It begins to look as though there
are some pretty sharp teeth in the
scheme, after all, and the fellow who
does not know anything about acreage
and production on all land farmed
by him is going to get bit.
But II the government demanded
anything like this, 1t should have
said so openly and above board and
not hidden this stipulation among q
lot Of other legal terms. The chances
are that mighty few farmers read the
whole contract. At the time Of sign
ing up there was rush and hustle to
get as many as possible ready during
the short time the county agent or
other representative of the govern
ment visited their locality, and there
was no chance for leisurely perusing
the document. even had they desired
to do 80, and we all know farmers are
proverbially noted for signing ION the
dotted line" without reading what
they sign.
Now, there is fair on all sides, and
II there Is the intention Of preventing
any farmer from taking advantage Of
the allotment plan and then going
out renting all the land he can that
is not signed up and putting same to
wheat, we will say that 1t Is all right
for the government to take this step
and in that case the document should
have read: I'm no case can any pro-
Queer rent additional land and put tc
wheat after signing this contract
same to apply to land never farmed
by said producer" That would have
meant something.
But, on the other hand, If we con-
slider the man who has farmed GER
tain additional lands. but whose
landlord refuses to sign, or who does
not know the production and acreage
figures on said lands, it Is unfair t.
compel him to give up all but hi.
contracted acreage, or to compel him
to plant all this land to other crops
than wheat, thus not only working ar
injustice to the producer but causing

WE'RE GLAD TO HELP

Editor, Tribune:
AS many Of our state papers kindly

Of the day, which courtesy Is much ap.
preciated. hope you will give space to
the matter here presented.
Throughout the successful campaign
for repeal Of the 18th Amendment.
much emphasis was placed upon the
evils Of bootlegging, and not much
vas said about the power Of the liquor
habit. To many Of US, there seems
grave danger that the young people
who have not seen the results Of con-
tinued open sale Of liquor, even Of low
alcoholic content, may be misled into
thinking 1t harmless and becomes VIC
TINS Of the habit. The widespread
propaganda for repeal. which no
young person able to read could Who'll
ly escape, may have results which
even the most ardent vet would re-
gret, unless systematic teaching Of to
tai abstinence Is established by those
convinced Of its necessity.
I am writing to the raiders Of this
paper who feel this need. A. state
secretary Of the Young Peoples Branch
OF the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, have material which can Be
used to advantage In temperance
tecahing for young folks Of al ages
These include program suggestions
which can be used In any meeting:
readings, songs, playlets, demonstra.
tons; manuals with instructions fo1

Branches and suggestions for social
