Colorful Figure from South Defeated
 Looked For
By HERBERT PLUMBER

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-Defeat of Representative John Young Brown of Kentucky has halted, for the time being at least, the poli- tical career of on of the most colorful figures to come up from the south in recent times.
 The 34-year-old- youngster, who halls from the famous blue grass section of the state and whose home is in the city where the Kentucky Derby is run each year, came to Congress for the first time as a member-at-large in the Sseventy-Third.
 He had been here but few days when he attracted attention. His youthful appearance, sparse stature and big voice made oldtimers sit up and take notice
 His reputation as politician preceded him to Washington. At 29 he was elected a member of the Kentucky House of Representa- tives; at 31 he was made speaker of that body; and at B he broke the st.ate administration slate in the Democratic primary to be elected to Congress.

AIDS DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS

Browns temerity infuriated Vim son and amazed other members of the House. It looked for a while as if the two actually would ex- change punches on the floor.
 That incident made Brown, how ever Democratic leaders realized they had in this youngster from Kentucky with the big voice and undoubted forensic ability a use- ful weapon. Time after time in the hectic days which followed they rushed him into the breach to do battle for the Administra- tion.
 Striking evidence of their re- gard for his ability came near the close of the Congress. Memorial services for the dead of both House and Senate were held. Young Brown was selected above all other members of the House to deliver the principal oration. Sel- dom had a first-termer been &C., corded such distinction.

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk. don't swallow a 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 carse. 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 . 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.

BETWEEN THE LINES

Reading between the lines - and that has to be done because all of the men involved, in the league and in the, Administration, are experienced politicians who pick their words advisedly-the sit uation would seem to be something like this:
 A considerable group of prop erty owners, including conspcuous- ly certain eastern industrial and fi- nancial terests recently has shown increasing alarm over the trend of new deal" policies.
 This group, roughly identified with the designation of "conser- vative," took particular offense at the Presidents speech at Green Bay, Wis, in which he appealed to the western liberals and said the new deal" must march on.
 Now that apprehension is to have direct expression. The League, without a party label as yet, has served notice on MT. Roosevelt that organized pressure is to be brought to bear at Washington.
