They make the taking of such a
medicine so easy that health habits
are neglected and cathartic habits
formed.
Unless there is some real path
illogical disorder such as an ulcer
of the stomach, gall bladder dis
ease, adhesions from an operation,
or the like, it should be very sell
dom that such stimulation of the
intestinal tract is needed. When
there is actually an organic dis
turbance, an ill-advised cathartic

even may be the actuating cause of
death. All in all, these drugs cause
many people much trouble.
Time and diet will settle all
functional cases of constipation. By
time is meant the spending of
enough Of it to allow the intestines
to evacuate themselves. In other
words, do not hurry about this pro-

diet is meant the ingestion of food
at regular periods of the day, such
food containing laxative qualities,
as spinach, celery, turnips, peas,
beans, tomatoes, caulif1ower, cab

There is hardly a day that passes

from this that a cure is never
reached by such a process. In fact

CATHARTICS AND
CONSTIPATION

A source Of great profit to the
manufacturers and advertisers of
patent medicines is taken advan-
tage of in the matter of cathartics.
This is due to the fact that such
stable and old-fashioned products
as castor oil and EPSON salts are
somewhat hard to take by the high
~ civilized man. The latter desires
something that has the character
istic, in taste, of candy.
These easily taken cathartics,
however, have a serious drawback.

u. 5. TO FORCE
SLASH IN RAIL
LOAN RATES
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service

The Roosevelt administration is
turning on the heat in its drive
to slash interest rates on railroad
loans and is openly proclaiming
this fact to the public.
The President and RFC Chair.
man Jesse Jones have reiterated
that they sought drastic reduC.
lions in railroad loan interest
rates. Further, both have eX,
planned that they considered such
reductions vital in recovery of the
nation from economic doldrumS.
In the latest release from the
RFC Chairman Jones appriSed the
public of a specific instance of
Federal pressure to the desired
end.
Big Saving Effected
At the same time, a checkup re.
Vealed that interest rates on the
thirty billion dollar public debt
have dropped. At the end of the
fiscal year 1888, this Government
was paying $3.50 per cent. Late
in November of this year, that in.
tereSt rate had been pared to
2.575 per cent on all interest.
bearing debt.
This and other earlier reduc.
lions have effected a saving of
more than $200,000,00 yearly
since 1919, despite additions of
nearly ten billions to the out
standing debt structure.
Great Northern railroad re.
financing, necessary next June
when existing 7 per cent Securi,
ties mature, provided the vehicle
Tor the most recent public an.
nouncement of Federal efforts to
cut interest rates.
Serves Dual Purpose
Jones announcement served the
apparent dual purpose of notify.
ing the bankers of the Govern
ment's intention of forcing rates
lower, and advising the public
that when President Roosevelt an
nounced such a purpose he meant
business.
AS early as last June President
w. P. Kenney of the Great North
ern came to Jones with a propo-
Sition for refinancing a 100-mil-
lion-dollar maturing 7 per cent
bond issue next July. The Great
Northern has never been in receiv-
ership and has paid regular divi-
dends, except for peak depression
periods.
Jones responded with a tenta-
tive proposal involving a Combina-
ton 4 and As per cent 20-year is
sue to replace the maturing bonds.
Kenney took this back to his road
officials, and to private bankers
with whom he was dickering for a
loan. Then, in September, he told
Jones the private bankers would
oblige with a 10-year loan-but on
q 5 per cent basis.
Offers To Buy Bonds
Without more ado, Jones wrote
Kenney this interest figure was
too Highland backed this up
with an offer to buy the bonds for
the government at 4 per cent, if
the private bankers do not care
to come through. He said:
Personally, we want the pri-
vate banks to handle this is
sue-but not at 5 per cent.
Four per cent is a fair rate"
Jones indicated he had no doubt
the RFC would pull the banks
into line, and that they would
handle the proposed issue at 4
per cent. Thus, the Federal move
will save the Great Northern
million and a half dollars at the
outset, and afterward approx
mately a million a year in interest.

~ O$A4A4S w AAO 4N4ASAA4SA41 ~
Without costumes, scenery or a
throbbing orchestral accompani-
ment, Kristen Flagstad gave a
highly dramatic Interpretation Of
Isolde's Liebestod, yet with abSo-
lutte repose. yesterday at the first
of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's
Musical Mornings at the May
flower Hotel.
Roman Totenberg, Polish VIC
linist, who made his American
debut here recently, opened the
recital with Bach's Air for G
String" and Kreisler's prelude
and Allegro" both of which gave
him ample opportunity to display
a beautiful breadth and quality
of tone.
When Mr.. Totenberg diverged
from the type of works mentioned,
he proceeded to dazzle most of
the audience with left hand piz-
zicatti, dizzy harmonicS and other
stunts that elected the Obs"
and Abs" but in so doing laid
himself open to the criticism of
rough bowling. One could not help
but wish to hear more works sim.
liar to the first group.
Madame Flagstad. the sensa-
tional Metropolitan Opera sopra-
no, more than fulfilled the ex-
pectations aroused by the advance
acclaim in making her Washing
ton debut. Singing in a small
auditorium. one felt that there
was reserve of power in her
voice that was not called upon.
Her softest glowing tones,
whether high or low, reached the
ear with a clearneSS that was al
most uncanny. Without even a
gesture, the merest altering of
the tonal color conveyed emotions
that others attempt to convey
with full voice and thraShing of
arms. She is an ideal example of
singer in complete relaxation.
Her Schubert and Grieg songs
were done in a manner that was
restrained yet gave a full value
to the meaning of the text and
melody. Although she interpreted
Wagner'S "Dich, teure Halle"
from "Tannhauser," and "Elsa's
Traume." from "Lohengrin," in
a superb manner, one felt that
the GROWING achievement of the
recital was the "Isolde's Liebe-
stod." from Tristan and Isolde"
In the Liebestod there was the
spiritual calm and almost unbear-
able suffering of one who is fac
ing what Wagner termed "the
great experiment, never to be re-
peated." Madame Flagstad began
with a soft voice which scarcely
varied in volume. but the tone
color expressed the depths of her
feelings and only near the end
did the voice add volume for the
climax.
The third of the series of young
peoples music appreciation con-
certs was given yesterday after
noon by the U. S. Navy Band
Symphony Orchestra under the di-
rection of Lieut.. Charles Benter,
to an audience that is steadily in
creasing in numbers and interest.
Lieutenant Benter gave a pro-
gram of works appropriate to the
Christmas season and the special
music appreciation numbers. The
next concert in this series will be
given January 8 at the Navy Yard
Sail Loft, and continue each
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
until further notice.

 Soon Dotty grabbed q length of rope and shouted, Watch me, now. I hope that I can show you how to lasso something near at hand"

 It wasn't very long until wee Dotty tried to show her skill. Just as the steer raced past she threw the rope with all her might.
