No Aches For First Time In Years,' Says Waterbury Lady
Does Daily Work With No Sign of Former Troubles Since VendOl Acted as Diuretic to Kidneys and Relieved Constipation.

If you need diuretic to your kid- neys or suffer from constipation which causes your food wastes to back up in your colon and upsets your stomach, many outward signs may show up, among which may be backache, leg pains and other suf- ferings popularly spoken of as rheu- matism. When this occurs 1t will pay you to visit the Vendol Man at Apothecaries Hall Co.,, and Vendol may be just the thing to help you just as it did Mrs. George Gaudeau of S6 s. Elm St., Waterbury, whose husband is popular employe of the American Brass CO, who says:
 ..F'or years I have suffered from constipation and sluggish kidneys and here recently I was miserable from the awful aches in the muscles of my back, legs, arms, shoulders and elbows. Everything I tried to do was a torture and when I bent over, seemed could hardly straighten up.
 +This condition made me nervous and often kept me awake for hours at night, then next morning I felt tired and wornout.
 Another trouble was sour, acid upset stomach that made my heart palpitate and breath came short and ] felt tight and bloated, after eat- hg.
 Many people I know were taking vendol. so I got some, and sure

tained by the Holy Ghost Fathers who have a house in this diocese St. Mary's Seminary, Ferndale.
 Five years ago three visitors from Connecticut called at Black Rock College. They were charmed by the location and by the build ings that made up the college group. While through the grounds they met one of the professors who acknowledged later on, that he happened to be the president" We were much impressed by him and by the intellectual atmcs- phere which pervaded the whole place and that even in vacation time.
 The Americans did not meet Father Fahey but they could not conceive of anyone allied with that glorious institution being guilty of unfair play to Jew or Gentle.

EOR months, the spenders in
l. WPA and in Congress had
been weeping because they could
not justify the increased spend
ing they thought advisable.
Their programs not only ran
counter to the budget plans of
the President, but to the actual
relief situation as then being re-
ported by WPA.
But now the word has been
passed by top WPA officials that
the figures Of the past two weeks
may justify a new appropriation
of $3.50, ,00Q. 900 to last until June.
The Congressional Spenders say
WPA had better take three hun
dred million to be sure.
It is true John Lewis first
raised the cry to increase WPA
funds. Also that the incoming
increased applications for WPA
money are coming mainly from
city districts where the CIO is
most heavily organized. But
the WPA'ers insist this is not ex-
clusively a CIO raid by any
means.
Thus has Mr.. Roosevelt
moved, in two weeks from an un-
certainty to a definite conclu-
sion and back to another uncer-

tainty, confronted with alter
native dilemmas of repudiating
his budget or his relief promises.
THAT Maverick bloc of Con-
l. gressmen which beseiged the
White House the other day gave
out for publication everything
except the main object of their
visit. They used the White
House front door as a sounding
board for their 10-point pro-
gram to save the nation, but
neglected to tell what really
brought them out Of their
House lair.
1t seems they found out that
Chairwoman Mary Norton Of
the House Labor Committee
was handling the wage and
hour bill too well-from their
standpoint. Mrs. Norton mad
let it be known generally in the
House that her committee would
take up the bill next week, but,
owing to the crowded condition
of the House calendar she would
delay consideration of the meas
ure in the House until after the
appropriation bills are out Of
the way.
The Mavericks thought this
was too much consideration for
the House calendar. They
feared lest their pet reelection
bill be jockeyed into a session
end situation where it could be
conveniently lost. as it was last
year.
Apparently they not only had
respect for the lady, but too
much. Other legislators do not
share their fears, but the result
of them may be measured in the
fact that Mrs. Norton subse-
quently was invited to the White
House to discuss "the general
wage-hour situation.
Note-House southpaws are
generally known in the House

they did.
incidentally the mavericks on
the other side of the fence came
away with a similar understand
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt was for
everything they wanted. How
ever, they could not recall any
distinct promise.
Note-No doubt now exists
that the closely held corpora
ton tax proposal will be sharply
