Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
laxatives?

Doctors have always recognized the
value Of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action car
be thus regulated to suit individual
need.
The public, too, Is fast returning
70 the use Of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that q properly pre-
pared liquid laxative brings q perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose Of 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 q double dose" day
or two later. Nor will Z mild LIQUID
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cafhartic 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 senna

the moratorium. Strutz represented
Mrs. Peterson and demanded possess

attorney for johnson, filed a letter
with the court from the governor
putting the moratorium back on and
directing the court to dismiss the pro-

Architect Suggests Sub.
surface Areas to Accom-
modate $1,000 Cars.

A plan to construct subsurface
parking areas for $4,000 automobiles
under streets and parks Of downtown
Washington was suggested in q letter
to Public Works Administrator Ickes
yesterday by Carroll Beale, consult
Ing engineer.
Mr.. Beale pointed out that the
parking problem will become more
acute with completion Of the giant
Federal building program. and that
the parks and wide avenues near the
Mall can be successfully undercut to
provide facilities for storage.
The engineer estimated that park
Ing space under the surface for 15,-
COO automobiles could be constructed
at an approximate cost OF $4,000
OOO He suggested that the money
be borrowed from the P. w. A. and
repaid by increasing the automobile
license fee from ST to $40 year.
Such an increase. Beals wrote,
would provide some $l,35O,000 annu-
ally toward paying interest, operating
the parking spaces and curtailing
the loan.
In conclusion. Beale wrote: 81 be-
