Weekend Activities of
President Roosevelt

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT had a
busy weekend. First he w ent
to Philadelphia and received fir ON
Temple university the honorary de-
gree of doctor of Jurisprudence. He
delivered an address in the course
of which he sdid: True education
depends upon freedom in the pur-
suit of truth. No group and no gov
ernment can properly prescribe pre-
cisely what should constitute the
body of knowledge with which true
education is concerned. The truth
is found when men are free to pur-
sue 1t.
ut is this belief in the freedom
of the mind, written into our. funda-
mental law and observed in our
every day dealings with the prob
lens of life, that distinguishes us
as a nation"
Next the President hurried up to
Cambridge, Mass, to see his son
John initiated into the old aristo-
cratic Fly club of Harvard. Return
ing to Hyde Park, Mr.. Roosevelt de-
livered a radio address marking
brotherhood day of the national con-
ference of Christians and Jews, and
he called on all believing Ameri-
cans to unite against the wave of
irreligion that challenges all faiths.
"This is no time" he said, ito make
capital of religious disagreement,
however honest. 1t is time, rather,
to make capital out of religious un-
derstanding. We who have faith
cannot afford to fall out among our
selves. The very state of the world
is a summons for US to stand to-
gether."

Wrestling AS an Art

self that, if only we revived the an

gladiators to murder one another
publicly, no building anywhere
could hold the multitudes that
would flock to the blood-lettings.
1t can't be the posing, pOsturing,
cheap acting, deliberate fouling, OBJ
vious hippOdrOming, the fixed vic
tories and the faxed defeats that
bring the crowds swarming about
the mastodOnic masters of the man

ber-laden practitioners of the pleas
ant science of mayhem.
All the cruel agony can't be make
believe, all the seeming suffering
isn't rehearsed beforehand. That's
what makes the business pay. The
creak of the dislOcated ankle and
the brisk snap of the splintering
nee-jOint, the scream as a brutal
thumb gouges at a tortured eyeball
its so much music to the pOpu-
lar ear.

DOCTORS KNOW
Mothers read this:
THREE STEPS
70 RELIEVING

Why do people come home from
hospital with bowels working like
well-regulated watch?
The answer is simple, and it's the
answer to all your bowel worries if
you will only realize it: many doctors
and hospitals use liquid laxatives.
If you knew what a doctor knows,
you would use only the liquid form.
A liquid can always be taken in
gradually reduced doses. Reduced
dosage is the secret of any real relief
from constipation.
Ask a doctor about this. Ask your
druggist how very popular liquid
laxaives have become. They give the
right kind of help, and right amount
of help. The liquid laxative generally
used is DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin.
1t contains senna and cascara - both
natural laxatives that can form nU
habit, even in children. So, try Syrup
Pepsin. You just take regulated
doses till Nature restores regularity.

Sitting the Urge

IT'S almost time for the master
L. tailOrs to announce that this year
men will wear bright cOlOrs. They
do that regularly and nothing ever
comes of it except vain longings
for us, poor cOwardly worms that
we are. Being a race of 'fraid-cats,
We'll go right on encasing ourselves
in garments suitable for pallbear-
ers at a Dunkard funeral.
I'm typical of the whole thwarted
male species. My impulse is to go
pick out something suitable for a
fancy vest and then have a whole
suit made of it. Right now I've got
my eye on a nobby checked pattern
in black and white squares that
would make me look a good deal
like a marble-tile entry hall. But
will 1 indulge my stifed natural
cravings? Don't make me laugh !!
It's not one anOther's scOrn we
fear. It's our womenfOlk. Well, If
you were a hen and the poor fool
ish rooster had surrendered to you
all his gay feathers, along with
most of his other perquisites, would
you give 'em back to him?
