need not go thirsty. There will
be a stand in the lobby of the
Rialto Theater where they can
quench their thirst with Doctor
Pepper, compliments of the COM

DR.. Pepper is one of the oldest
drinks on the market. 1t first
saw light in Waco, Tex, in 1886.
Since then it has been sold every
day. The legend has it that it
derived its name from a "Dr. Pep

had under him young physician
by the name of DR.. Morrison. DR..
Morrison fell in love with the
daughter of DR.. Pepper, but when

Drinks Offered
By Dr. Pepper

Thought of organizing DR.. Pepper
in a national way.
The slogan, Drink a bite to eat
at 10, 2 and 4" is not one of
advertising, but based upon scien-
tific study. 1t was found by an
extensive research that the lowest
ebb of the human energy came at
the hours of 1890, 2:30 and 4::30.
In that DR.. Pepper carries over
100 calorieS of predigested energy
units, thus by drinking DR.. Pep
Per slightly before this time, this
low ebb was greatly eliminated.
By predigested is meant that
only invert sugar is used. BY in
vert, is meant that this sugar is
pretreated just as the stomach
would act upon it, so that the
the very time that it reaches the
stomach it goes almost at once
into the blood steram as energy.

Blames the ''RecessiOn''
On LabOr's Tactics

To the Editor OF The Star:
The story on the front page of The
Star Of November q, Farmers Boycott
U. A. w. Products" from Lovettsville,
Va, expresses the sentiments of millions
OF people in the United States, and it
may be like the Mecklenburg resolution
before our Revolutionary War.
There is a feeling throughout the
country that the unreasonable demands
OF the labor unions upon all industry has
created the present business recession"
The raising of wages one week and the
rise OF the cost of products the next
to meet the raise, and then a re-raise in
wages and re-raise in prices can result
only in economic downfall. There is no
end to such vicious circle except
ruin. Farmers cannot buy in such mar
kets, nor can they raise their prices
to meet such costs. 1t is already cheaper
for those union workers on high wages
to import food from abroad than to buy
locally.
The boycott which the president of the
Lovettsville Farmers Club suggests
against union products is already silently
in force by millions of people. People
have feeling that articles produced by
sore-headed laborers are inferior-that
sabotage is practiced, etc. Workers on
higher wages and under better work.
ing conditions than ever before in his
tory, are turning out the worst products.

Moreover, seventy-six per cent Of those
released on parole were recidivists-
"repeaters," in other words. Two-thirds
Of the PAROLES were rearrested for such
major crimes as murder. rape, robbery
and kidnapping.
Mr.. Hoover is particularly aroused be-
cause all but one of his G-men who
have been killed in recent years were
victims of paroled outlaws. But he is
not alone in his concern over the
maladministration of parole in many of
the States. The New York Prison As
sociation, after q Nation wide survey,
reported that mot more than six or
seven States and the Federal Govern
ment have what can be termed suitable
or scientific parole methods"
Parole, as theory, is Endorsed by all
informed authorities. Mr.. Hoover in
sists he has no fault to find with the
principle involved-that of giving first
offenders, those worthy of leniency, an
other chance to make good. The indis-
criminate release Of hardened criminals,
who are past reforming, has become a
real menace, however.
Friends of the parole should take stern
and positive action to eliminate these
evils, If public confidence in the system
is to be maintained.
