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 a 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 irrilate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is the best laxative for every
body. SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
DR.. Caldwell's 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. h. A.

to pass the time of day.

"Just what was going to ask

thought he knew, exactly what kind
of dinner he would have as soon

have a muskrat dinner, and the
very thought of it made his mouth
water and water. That is why he
was impatient-impatient for the
coming of shadOw-time.
Aside from this impatience
Reddy was perfectly happy. He had
tried all sorts of ways to get Jerry
Muskrat up on land where he could
be caught, but always without sue
cess. But this coming night 1t
would be different. Jerry had prom

Smiling Pool after the coming of

they would start for Farmer
Browns garden, where were grow

THE SENSIBLE SHOE

physicians will tell you that
walking is the best all around
exercise. 1t brings so many mus
cles into play. 1t stimulates the
circulation. 1t serves as a tonic to
mind and body. Set aside a half
hour every day, more if you can do
so, for walking. If you are in the
city, get out into the parks. If you
live In the country, take a walk in
the woods, particularly in the fall.
The naples are golden yellow or
flaming red. Don't miss them! The
long brown pods of the honey locust
wave in the crisp autumn breeze,
and the dogwoOd berries are chang
ing green to red.
Straighten your shoulders and
breathe deeply. Hum a tune as you
walk. And don't just saunter along
but walk briskly, purposefully. And
be sure that you are wearing sensi-
BILE shoes. That Is very important.
For ill-ftting shoes may defeat the
purpose Of your walk.
Remember that good posture is
impossible If feet are not comfort
ably shOd. Remember, too, that
shoes that pinch the feet Cften etch
lines and wrinkles In the face. Com
Portable shoes make walking a
pleasure, keep feet young, and foot
ills at bay. The shoes should be of
proper length-not too long (and
what Is worse) not too short. A
shoe expert told me recently that
the tendency with American women
Is to purchase short shoes. Shoes
should properly support the arch.
They should hug the ankle and fit
at the heel Shoes should be wide
enough. Otherwise 1t may be neces-
sary to tread over the outer edges
OF the sole. The proper heel is also
important. High heels are fashion
able for dinner and dance, but the
smart woman suits her heels to the
occasion. For walking, a medium
sized heavy heel (and not a shaped
heel, either) is appropriate. Aside
from proper support, it enables the
feet to do the work for which they
are intended and allows the body
to throw It's weight forward prop
erly.
Choose a strong and sturdy shoe
for walking. Also keep your shoes
in repair. Rundown heels and
worn leather detract from ones
personal appearance. They also
throw the foot out of natural posi-
ton. This applies to shoes worn
about the house as well as shoes
for walking. Be sure that your new
shoes meet the requirements cited
here. Get pair Of shoes especial
ly for walking. And walk every
fair day. Walking Is one of ma
ture's simple health and beauty
tonics.

PITFALLS OF REDUCING

IN SPITE Of the fact that rounder.
L more feminine and hattering pro.
portions are in vogue, the cry still
persists "let US reduce" Are there
still so many fat women left In the
world? l doubt it, | sincerely feel
that In their desire to attain sylph.
like forms women are OVERRIDING.
| don't mind counting calories,
foregoing sweets and starches, and
saying encouragingly mo, thank
you" to a generous portion of rich
dessert; l don't mind doing a little
setting-up exercises every day to
burn up excess food instead of al.
lowing 1t to store and settle in
fatty bulges. BY all means reduce
If you really have to. But Know
when you have had enough.
Many women are carrying this
reducing business to extremes.
They don't quit" until they've
broken down every last ounce of
fat. By that time not only their
weight but often their spirit and
temper and health and resistance
have also had their share of reduc-
ing. Know when you have had
enough. Some mechanical devices
have proved helpful, but only In
conjunction with the sanest and
safest method-approved by physi
clans as harmless-and that is diet
and exercise. Food Is the fuel you
feed the engine called the body.
Try to gauge the amount of fuel
it needs to carry on so that it will
burn all Of it instead of storing the
excess in fat. That is what physi-
clans will tell you. If the excess
is already there, cut down on the
intake and increase the physical
work by exercise. Depend upon
this balanced combination of diet
and exercise to do the work. And
as you value your health, take no
VI TcIuGulGS eX-
cept under the supervision of a re-
liable physician.
And another pitfall to guard
against; don't reduce your figure at
the expense of your face. Sudden
and too swift reduction often leaves
the face drawn and haggard look
ing. And reducing without com
pensating skin and contour care too
frequently is responsible for fabbi
ness and wrinkles. The skin is elias
tic. 1t stretches over the layers of
fat beneath. When that fat falls
away, what have you? A very
fabby outlook. Two things every
woman who is reducing should use
for skin and contour-a good skin
food and an astringent. This com
bination will feed the tissues and
tighten up the slack, thus overcom-
ing fiabbiness.

He turned down the street toward

And he said: IN be gettin' alongp

Because of the pain and the tears,

AVOID FORCING
STRAIGHT LEFT ARM

60 MUCH has been written about
- the straight left arm that the
average golfer forces himself TO
adopt it. There is little doubt that
it has numerous advantages for one
who can adapt himself to its speci-
fcations, but to the Others, and they
are legion, it proves disadvantage
Numerous successful golfers such
as Bobby Jones and DensmOre Shute
use a straight left with distinct ben
eft, but in their cases it is more
or less natural. Jones has used ii
since his early golfing days; his
physique and elastic muscles have
allied themselves to this funda-
mental easily. Many of the golfng
gentry. however, only use it by
adoption. In some cases they con-
sciously force the left arm to keep
straight. Doing this lenses their
whole stroke; they are unable to
swing freely and their control suf-
fers. For such players it would
perhaps be a better idea to allow a
slight bend and thus gain a meas
ure of that relaxation that is so es.
sential to a successful golf stroke
Harry Vardon enjoyed consider
able success without using a straight
left, and there are many among the
present-day golfers, including Harry
Cooper (above), who have found it
more advantageous to discard the
straight left, which did not suit
their game, In favor Of the freer
swing.

Color of Stratosphere

According to a noted authority,
the color of the stratosphere is
black and not blue like the sky.
This is stated to be the result of
the absence of dust particles at
great elevations from the earth. The
blueness of the sky is believed to
be due to the refraction or scatter
ing of the sunlight by these parti-
cles of dust and by the air itself.
