Why Doctors Favor
a Liquid Laxative

A doctor will tell you that the care
less choice of laxatives is a common
cause of chronic constipation.
Any hospital offers evidence of the
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowel
muscles, and even affect the liver
and kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form-
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
controlled. 1t forms no habit; you
needn't take a double dose" a day
or two later.

DAY

1t is now nearly seventy years
since the last shot was fired in
that tremendous conflict between
the North and South which his
tory records as the American Civil
war. The pitiful little handful Of
survivors of that great struggle are
now old, old men. Whatever hatred
or bitterness they felt for each
other has long since been resolved
by the kindly, soothing hand of
time.
1t is not necessary here to go
into the causes of that titanic
struggle. Leave that @ the his
TRANS and interpreters, who will
not have finished in another seven
ty, their efforts to make the events
of the 1905 prove this, that Or the
other theory. The fact remains
that the survivors and the des-
cendants of both sides have equal
cause for pride.
We believe we are right in say
ing hat all the rancor. all the Bit
terness that that great struggle en-
gendered, and which hung for so
long like a funeral pail over the
reunited Nation. vanished long
since. 1t began to disappear when
the sons of men who had worn the
Northern blue marched in the rank
in '9S with those whose fathers hae
worn the Southern gray; its las'
trace disappeared when the boy
from Texas and Mississippi swung
into action at >Chateau-Thiery
alonside their khaki-clad brother:
from Vermont and Minnesota.
On the 5oth day of this month
all over the North and in many
of the states of the South, the
Nation will again pay its annual
tribute of remembrance to the
brave men who fought for their
native land in three great wars
In some states there have been OF
are yet to be held special memorial
services for those who fought for
the Confederacy. But The tear:
that are shed and the wreaths that
are laid are, all of them, a nations
tribute to what we must still re-
gard as the highest possible ex-
preston of the nobility of the hui
man character, which does not
hesitate to risk dear life itself, not
for any possible selfish gain but
for the sake of others.

THE R

We think the National Recovery
Administration is taking a wise
course in deciding to abandon the
effort to place every kind of bus
mess, down to the smallest one-man
tailor shop, under some sort of a
code. We can see where the codes
of fair competition may prove in
the long run to be of the greatest
value to producers and consumers
alike, as we'll as to wage-earners,
in the large competitive industries.
We understand that control of
operations under the codes is being
gradually transferred to the in
dustries themselves, and that the
expectation is that before long the
hand of the Government will be
entirely removed, except as it may
serve as a mediator in disputes be-
tween industries or within an in
dustry.
But we have never quite under
stood how the Government expect
ed to be able to police the whole
country to see to it that no cob
bier half-soled a pair of shoes for
a nickel or a dime less than some
other cobbler wanted for the job,
or that every filling station lived up
strictly to the rule Of the forty
hour week for employees. Local
businesses dealing only with local
customers, particularly when they
are small concerns operated by the
owner and a few helpas,ss, must
consider the service to their trade

MILLIONS OF
HOMES

The gravity of the housing pro-
blem in America can be simply IL
Illustrated by a comparison of the
lumber of families provided with
new residential units in recent years.
In 1922, some 100000 families
secured new homes. In 1925, when
the all-time high was reached, close
to 100000 home structures were
The ten-year average from
|1921-30 was $4,000 units each
year. In 1888, new home construc-
ton dropped to less than 10000.
Making the problem still more
severe is the fact that during de-
r~ession depreciation and obsolesence
of existing homes were more than
normally great. Thousands of hous-
es literally went to pieces, due to
lack of upkeep.
The result is that a heavy per-
Icentage of our people live in sub
standard dwellings. Doubling up,
with several families occupying one
is commonplace. 1t was re-
Gently estimated that 100000
families lived in this manner. And
population shifts have gone on, de-
preston or no depression, creating
tremendous home shortages in var
ious localities.
Better times are the hearald of
stimulated construction. A jump
in building is coming as certainly
i'as the tides, and it is going to ad-
vance building costs-both fol
materials and for skilled labor. The
wise property owner, with money
to spend, is beginning to realize that
this is really the time to build and
repair, while bargain prices still
exist.

pROSTITUTING A GOOD LAW

Workmen's compensation laws

workers for injuries received in the
course of their employment.
So far as administrator of the
(law is concerned, life, accident:
old age and unemployment insur-
anle for workers without an IN
crease in premium rate to cover
the added risk. The result is that
the entire system is threatened with
a breakdown.
This was pointed out in a recent
address by F. Robertson Jones:
general manager of the Association
of Casualty and Surety Executives
AS Mr.. Jones says, emotional re-
formers, using as their plea so

But did the drought pay the
farmers any bonuses or benefit pay
ments? Not a cent. Do they get
anything for % raising the wheat
that the drought killed? Nary a
dollar. Under the Administration
plans they may not have got much
higher prices for their wheat, at
least not as much as they thought
they ought to have had, or believed
that they had been promised. But
under the AAA they don't have to
raise wheat to get paid; they only
have to cease raising it by contract
and agreement with the Govern
ment. Under the drought they
have ceased raising it, all right, but
they haven't any contract with the
