Alfredo Zayas. President of Cuba
from 1921 to 1925, was called eel
Chino" because to many Cubans he
exemplified the quiet, stoical traits
of the Chinaman.
Behind that mask of reserve and
lack of the outward Latin impetuous-
ness were as many varied traits as in
any man of his time.
He took part in the last Cuban rev.
olution against Spain, made himself a
successful lawyer after the republic
was established, became an authority
on Cuban organic law and on the
aboriginal Cubans, and wrote poetry.
Zayas became active in politics,
holding many important posts. He
was a member of the Committee OF
Consultation to deal with matters af-
fecting Cuba and the United States,
appointed in 1907. He served as vice
president, 1909-l9l3.
In political life, as in law he was
regarded as a practical man, far more
phlegmatic than most Cubans, and
one willing to wait calmly to accom-
plish his ends.
Zayas, born in Havana February
81, 1861, was married twice and was
the father of several sons and daugh-
tiers.

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow lot of salts, mineral 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 2 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 CAREERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to aeI these two pounds of bile flowing freeiy and make you feel ''up and up."
