WHEN YOU TAKE
A LAXATIVE
use a spoon

It isn't what brand of laxative you
take that's so important-it's the
form. A liquid laxative can be taken
in any required amount. If only a
little is needed, you need never take
a bit too much.
Doctors favor the easily measured
liquid laxatives. Instead Of any form
that does not encourage variation
from the fixed dose. A fixed dose may
be an overdose for you-or your
child.
Always remember this one thing
about constipation: the secret of any
real relief is reduced dosage.
Give the bowels only as much help
as may be needed, and less help as
the need grows less. You will find DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin an excellent
aid in regulating the bowels. 1t con-
tains SIENNA and cascara (natural
laxatives) and it will cleanup any
bilious, sluggish condition without
upset. Delightful taste, and pleasant
action. Your druggist has it.

Economy Pleas Face
Committee, Says
Buchanan
international News Service

Chairman James P. Buchanan
CD Of Texas, Of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, today
planned to go before the subcom-
mittees next week to urge rigid
economy in the preparation Of the
annual budget bills.
Hearings will be started early
next week on the Treasury-Post
Office and independent offices
supply bills-biggest bills in the
annual budget. A hearing will be
started on December 8 on the In
terror Department bill.
Reiterating his demand for econ
omy in Federal appropriations,
Mr.. Buchanan declared Slashes
in the presidential budget would
be made wherever possible.
Work, Not Dole
''It is the policy Of the Admin
istration to stop the DOLE" said
Representative Buchanan. There
may be some work relief, but to
give a man work Is not putting
him on the dole
IF the States and private char.
ity provide for the unemployableS,
as they formerly did, it will be
done in a more economical man
ner than If done by the Federal
Government.
1T looks as II we are headed
toward a permanent public works
system. Under this plan, $500, ,000,.
900 might be spent on public
works when there was not much
unemployment, and $700, ,000, ,00O
when there was great deal"
The permanent public works
plan, Mr.. Buchanan said, had
been advocated by President
Hoover, and the late President
Coolidge expressed interest in it.
Filibuster Saves Money
Although there was an outcry
when the last Congress died with
the third deficiency bill, carrying
funds for social security, still in
the Senate, Mr.. Buchanan pro-
poses to initiate a new bill in the
coming session.
This plan admitted. would de.
lay the social security program
and some Government agencies,
but Representative Buchanan In
timated that special provision
might be made if hardship was
threatened by the delay.
II would like to appropriate
only for the fiscal year ended
June 80 for social security, and
get two or three months expe-
rience under it before we appro.
pirate for an entire year." he
said.
The filibuster which killed the
bill, he added, at least saved the
Government about $4,000, 900 Of
social security costs.

BOY
SLAYSFATHER

BIG STONE GAP, Va, Nov. 80.
A 16-year-old boy was in jail here
today charged wit hthe shotgun
murder of his father.
The boy, Abram Falin, told
police he shot his father, L. N.
Falin, in self defense. The boys
story closely resembles the tale
told police by Miss Edith Maxwell,
school teacher now in Jail await
ing motion for a new trial on
charges of killing her father.
Falin will be taken to Wise
County Jail today. He will be in
the same cell block as occupied
by Miss Maxwell who last week
was convicted by a jury Of the
murder of her father and sent
enced to Is years in jail.
Police were told the Falin boy
shot his father during an argu
ment over the use of the family
automobile. Young Falin said his
father was intoxicated. Police
said they found the elder Falin
lying face downward. a 80 caliber
revolver in one hand.
Many aspects of the case par.
allel the Maxwell case, which has
attracted nationwide interest. Miss
Maxwell shot her father when he
attempted to reprimand her for
staying out late at night. At her
trial she testified she struck her
father with a high-heeled slipper
when he threatened her with a
knife.

Senate 9. 0. P. Leader
Warns, However,
of Initiation
International New. Service

Hopes of 3,519,347 World War
veterans for early payment of their
adjusted service certificates were
frightened today when Senator
Charles L. McNary, Republican
leader Of the Senate, predicted
Congress would pass a cash bonus
bill over President Roosevelt's
veto, at the coming session.
Senator McNary said the bill to
become law must treat the bonus
certificates as regular Government
obligations. BY this, he meant,
the bill would be defeated If it
contained inflationary features.
"A bonus bill," he said. "in
which the adjusted service certif.
icates are treated the same as any
other Government obligation, will
pass Congress over the Presidents
veto at the coming session. 1t
will not be the Patman bill"
Other Leaders Back McNary
The Patman bill, on which the
Senate sustained Mr.. Roosevelt's
veto last spring, provided for pay.

the issuance of new gresuback
currency. On that vote Senator
McNary supported the President,
as did other conservative Repub-
licans.
Other congressional leaders
shared Senator McNary's view.

ministration could raise the
needed cash through bond issues,
just as it has raised funds to
carry on recovery activities.
At the same time they contend

EARLY REPLIES
TO CRITICS
PLANNED
Two Talks, Scheduled
In Midwest, to Give
Opportunity

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 80
U.N.S0 up in the Little White
House" on Pine Mountain, Presl-
dent Roosevelt was waiting WITH
keen interest today for national
reaction to the Atlanta speech,
which in effect keynoted his
campaign for reelection.
While the President had CURED
his political opponents around
again with obvious relish. those
close to him insisted the chief
purpose Of the Atlanta address
was to let business know that
the promised breathing spell
was in effect-and presumably
would become permanent.
Two Chances at Critics
It was taken for granted that
the opposition would tear into
Mr.. Roosevelt's confident claims
of great progress toward esab-
lishment Of business and agrl.
culture on q new and SOUND
basis. The Roosevelt camp was
waiting to see from what sources
It would come-because the Presl-
dent has two more speaking en-
gagements on his schedule 10
days hence at Chicago and South
Bend, where any attacks can De
answered. j.
The President took manifest
pleasure yesterday in announcing
that 3,125, 900 men had been put
to work before December /, as
promised. His plan now Is that
Works Progress Administrator
Harry Hopkins shall keep them
at work during the winter months,
through March. BY April, Mr..
Roosevelt is hopeful that the heav-
Ter and permanent projects under
Public Works Administrator Har-
old Ickes will take hold and pick
up the load until private enter
prise again is able to shoulder 1t.
Watch Talmadge Feud
Here in Georgia, however, the
big immediate interest was the
next development in the Roose-
velt!Talmadge feud. Yesterday
was the Presidents day to the
point that some Of his supporters
hanged Governor Talmadge in
effigy, red suSpenders and all,
on the State capitol lawn, and
the governor himself decided to
stay away from the homecoming
celebration entirely
But the Georgia governor has
been a consistent critic Of the
Roosevelt administration, VIII o
never pulls his punches. In fact,
yesterday he announced his last
minute decision not to take a back
seat on the same platform with
MI. Roosevelt by saying he was
going down to his farm Ito hunt
for something that will grow with
out a processing tax on it."
West Only Visitor
Today was a quiet one for the
President after his strenuous
schedule in Atlanta. Here with
him at Warm Springs was Under
Secretary of Interior Charles West,
who came down for the speech
and motored back to Warm
Springs with the official party.
Inasmuch as Mr.. West has been
the Presidents liaison officer with
Congress, it was assumed they
were discussing strategy for the
forthcoming session of Congress.
According to Presidential Secre-
tary Marvin Mcintyre, there we're
to be no other official callers
today.
