Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
%Laxatives?

Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be thus regulated to suit individual
need.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings 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. It forms no habit; you
need not take a double dose" a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cothartic may. often do
more harm than good.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based on SIENNA
"a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form

Much Gold Still
Kept In Hiding

In spite Of the acts of Congress,
and presidential proclamations fol-
lowing the well-remembered bank
holiday, which made the possession
of gold and gold certificates illegal,
teapots, old stockings and safety de-
post boxes still hold millions of
dollars worth of gold notes. At the
time President Roosevelt went into
office there were gold certificates
to the extent Of s1,25o,Ooo,o0o
outside the Treasury. Over half
of these or about 10000 900
worth were in the hands of the
lpublic; the rest were in Federal Re-
serve Banks. At the present time
about 80 per cent of the publicly
held notes have been returned to
the Treasury, but that still leaves
|$14o,O0O,o 600 worth unaccounted
for. They are still coming in,
however, but the rate of return has
dropped from $s,ooo,o 900 a month
to barely $3,0OO,O 600 which indi-
Gates that the supply is rapidly be-
coming less and that even when the
most determined hoarders finally
surrender their holdings the Treas
ury records will still show a large
number of the certificates out
standing.
Much of the money which is not
tucked away in the nations thou
sands of curious places of safe
keeping will never be seen again.
Fire and other destructive forces
have effectively reduced the sup
ply Of the outstanding paper. But
there is still another portion which
will continue to flow into the
Treasury in a sickly stream for a
long time. Foreign banks still hold
many of our gold notes.

North Carolina produces 50 per
cent of the dress goods m%anufac-
eured in the United States and there
should be large finishing plants in
the state" declared former Cover
nor o. Max Gardner. He has in
terest in the proposal to move the
Patterson plants to North Carolina,
not only as a loyal Tar Heel but
also as counsel for the rayon in
Idustry in the United States and as
part owner of the Cleveland Cloth
mills at Shelby.
Rayon mills are now also operat-
ed at Gastonia, Burlington, and
Greensboro, and experience has
proved, former Governor Gardner
pointed out, that climatic condi-
tions as we'll as the natural location
are ideal for manufacture of ray
on.
1t: has been known for some time
that Patterson manufacturers have
had under consideration removal
of some Of their large plants to the
Carolinas, especially since the tex
tile relations board, Of which
Judge W. P. Stacy of North Caro-

to bring about an adjustment of
the prolonged strike, but whose

The movement for the federal

said.
Every section of the country
has groups that are being formed
to press this cause. 1t is a just one.
Under our new social order we
must expect to find some way to
make it possible for those in dire
circumstances by reason of age to
spend their declining years in self
respecting privacy, free from the
pangs of hunger and stigma of pau
perism. We must Danish the poor

II believe that government sup

haps the founding of a central bank
is unnecessary, but certainly we
need a unified banking system in

Farmers For
Bankhead Act
State College Extension
Workers See Change
In Sentiment

A growing sentiment in favor
Iof the Bankhead act and the cotton
adjustment program in North Car
|olina was reported by members of
the State college extension service
who have conducted county meet
ings over the state last week.
As the growers become better
acquainted with the purposes of the
act and realize its benefits to the
cotton producer, they said, they are
their support behind it.
The few communities where
there is still some opposition to the
act, according to Dean Schaub, d.
rector of the extension service, are
those where there are many small
growers who did not sign the ad-
justment contracts.
The dean expressed belief that
non-signers will become more sat-
isfied with the program next year
If they sign contracts and become
eligible for the benefit payments.
also said that the allotments to
small growers will be larger in
1885 than they were this year.
E. W. Gather, one of the speak
ers who conducted meetings in the
eastern part of the state, reported
that a straw vote of the growers
who attended his meetings showed
80 per cent for the Bankhead act
and one per cent against it.
o. F. McCrary, also one of the
speakers, went into counties where
there are many small growers and
non-signers and found sentiment to
be approximately two-thirds for the
act and one-third against it.
Other speakers reported large at
tendance at the meetings and a
marked sentiment for a continu-
ance of the Bankhead act as a meas
ure for strengthening the adjust
ments program.

Hancock Wants All Banks
Joined In Reserve System

Representative Frank Hancock
in a radio address last week over
nationwide chain hook-up, praisee
the benefits of the law insurini
bank deposits and predicted it wouls
become a permanent part of tn
nations banking and currency
system.
The North Carolina solon, who
is a high ranking member of the
powerful House banking and cur
rency committee, made two de-
finite and important recommended
tions SO far as legislation at the
next session of Congress is concern
ed. These were:
/. That the present temporary
deposit insurance plan, which und-
er the law expires July l, 1885, be
made permanent with some minor
amendments to strengthen the act.
2. That the federal reserve act be
amended SO as to insure government
regulations over credit as we'll as
currency and then that all banks
be required to become members of
the Federal Reserve system.
Representative Hancock told
his radio audience il1st what the
federal deposit insurance law had
meant to the great mass Of deposi-
tors. He also stressed the fact that
the law had equally helped bankers
and business.
The Tar Heel congressman's
speech in several places displayed
his liberal views on banking and
currency matters. The tenor of
his remarks was that from now on
banks must be in the nature of a
public utility rather than so much
mere vehicles for private gain.
I'm my opinion, the day of bank
ing as a career is past, but as a pro-
.fession it is in its infancy" as
serted the North Caroliniap.
After subscribing to the recon-
mendations of Leo. T. Crowley,
chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance corporation, for retain
ing and improving the system, one
recommendation being that the
corporation continue to limit the
insurance of deposits for any de-
positor to $1,000 be retained, Han
cock said:
These. are all sound suggestions.
They are conservative. But in my
opinion, he has not gone far
enough. AS we all know, credit is
the life-blood of business. Ninety
per cen of commercial transactions
is carried on with check or credit
currency and government should
never again leave its entire control
in private banking hands. Some
sound, cooperative system is es-
to insure proper function
ing and protection of our new eco !
nomic system.
With certain amendments to
the Federal Reserve act, bringing +,
the Federal Reserve system closer '

excise of some proper and effective
regulation I'VE the expansion and
contraction of credit, l would re-
commend that it be compulsory 4

other vertebrates 0or he had vertebral CO..
umn as well as an abdomen) he had a good
pair of lungs, and red blood corpuscles to carry
the oxygen from them to every cell of his huge
body
But insects, spiders and the like do not have
lungs.
Insects have air tubes that open through
rows of little holes along their sides These
tubes branch out through all parts of their
bodies. carrying the air directly to the tissues.
Any increase in the thickness of an insects
body would greatly magnify the difficulties in
herent in this primitive method of supplying
the tissues with oxygen.
Even in the Coal Age, when there were giant
dragonf1ies a foot long, the bodies of these
winged terrors were no thicker than lead
pencil Spiders breathing arrangements are
quite as primitive so that they are in no better
position than the insects to grow to superhu-
man size and terror inspiring rapacity.
Another thing that would cramp the style OF
insects and their relatives if they grew gigantic
is their cold-bloodedness Insects thrive best in
the warm lands now; the tsetse fly yellow
fewer mosquito plague-bearing flea, all make
their headquarters in the tropics.
But even though such extremes cannot come
to pass without reversing some of the funda-
mental laws of physics and physiology, there
are plenty of instances within both the little
and the large worlds of animals where the Gus
tomary roles of eaten and eater are switched.
\A/E OFTEN think for example, CT snakes
w eating frogs. But on occasion a big
frog does not hesitate to tackle a small snake.
A photograph caught by Lynwood Chace looks
rather like a of big frog having bitten
off more snake than he could chew; but if the
snake had been no bigger than large angle
worm (and plenty of snakes are that smalD,
down like a worm he would have gone. Frogs
are cannibals; the big ones eat the little ones
whenever they catch them.
Big swapping turtles are said to draw down
swimming birds and devour them. Owls (Which
must surely be proof against gas-attackD kill
skunks, which feed partly on smaller birds.
Pike and big bass are perfectly ready to gulp
down wood mice if they catch them in the
water.
In the lesser world we find similar strange
hunger driven raids. Among the flies. which
on the whole unaggressive and weak. there
is one tribe, the robberflies. These swoop down
hawk-like, on any insect they can capture, from
their own helpless cousin flies to sting armed
bees.
But these flying corsairs meet their nemesis
in other, stronger insects, among which are the
bees own relatives the hesh-eating waspS.
