MORAL REFORMS
URCEDBYHOOVER
Former President Declares
Laxity Is Endangering
Self-GoVernment.

Fy the Associated Press.
FRESNO. Calf, April 27-Former
President Herbert Hoover last night
appealed to politically-minded women
for fight against what he termed "a
moral recession" in American gov
ernment.
Loss Of morals in government
paved the way for the rise of Euro
pean relationships, said Mr. Hoover
before outlining through questions i'm
moralities' he charged were endanger-
ing government.
They must be eXpurgated from
American life" he told the Federation
Of Republican Women's Clubs.
Government in democracy can
afford some inefficiency," said the
former Chief Executive. That is
tie price we pay for self-government,
for intellectual and spiritual freedom.
But government in a democracy can
not be immoral-that saps it's very
life"
Somebody has to do a cleanup
Job in this Republic" MIR. Hoover de-
clared in saying he was turning to
Women "as complaining citizen"
because "the men haven't done much
OF late and because 1T is a
commonplace fact that moral in
stircts of women are upon average
higher than men,"
These are grave hours" said Mr..
Hoover, whose address was broadcast
on the Pacific coast. We are in a
moral recession in government.
DenOunces Defamation.
Beyond this we have for five years
listened to a continuous defamation of
everything that has gone before. Hon
est achievements of men have been
belittled and attributed to improper
motives. Ideals embedded in our
patriotism are smeared with con-

In spite of all that has been written
about bad breath, thousands still lose
friends through this unpleasant fault.
Yet sour stomach with it's resultant
bad breath is frequently only the re-
suit of constipation. Just as it can
cause loss Of appetite, early weakness,
nervousness, and mental dullness.
So keep regular. And if you need to
assist Nature, use DR.. Edwards Olive

bring relief. Extremely important, too,
is the mild stimulation it gives the flow
of bile from the liver without the dis
comfort of drastic, irritating drugs.
That's why millions use this laxative
yearly. All druggists, 15t, 30t, 60t.
sYour liver secretes from 20 to 80 ounces Of
