WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE
Without Calomel-And You'll Jump 0ui
 of Bed Full of Vim and Vigor.

of Bed Full of Vim and Vigof.
 Your liver should pour out two pints of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk.
 mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those famous Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pints of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up". Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red pack age. Refuse anything else. Prict: 25f.

Some of them he would assign to
keep close surveillance over suspi-
cious visitors in the House and Sen

A 16-year-old letter was the means
of reuniting last night father and
his 14-year -old son, separated since
soon after the boys birth.
The father, Cornelius v. Scott, 80,
a Washington cab driver, had tried
in vain to locate his son for years
This, Mr.. Scott explained, was
the way it happened:
Shortly after the boy was born
in Alexandria, Va, the parents were
estranged. The mother, Mrs. Anna
Frazier Scott, took the baby to
johnson City. Tenn. to live, but
the father didn't know where they
had gone. Three years ago the
mother died in the Southern city.
The boy, Edward A. Scott, wanted
to find his father, but had no idea
where he was living.
Old Letter Becomes Clue.
Recently. rummaging through his
mothers effects the youth found a
letter which his father wrote on
June 8, 1923. At the time Mr. Scott
was in the Army and assigned to
duty at Walter Reed Hospital He
wrote the letter to the authorities
at Broadtop City, Pa, asking for a
death certificate for his father. The
certificate was sent and attached
to it was the letter requesting it.
Armed only with this letter, young
Edward set out last Tuesday to find
his father Arriving here the next
day with so cents left, he spent the
Evening star., 1939-09-17

day making futile inquiries and try
ing to conserve his small capital.
Thursday night Policeman Ule M.
Gale of the first precinct found the
lad poring dejectedly over the letter.
The policeman staked Edward to
the first square meal he'd had since
leaving johnson City and, after
sending the boy to the Receiving
Home, the officer started out to find
Mr.. Scott. asking the departments
cooperation.
Gets New Mother, Too.
Early yesterday police efforts were
rewarded.
Have you a son named Edward
A. Scott?" an official voice finally
asked over a phone. And the search
was ended.
Edward discovered that he not
only had father but new mother,
for Mr.. Scott, receiving information
that his wife was dead, had married
again.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott and their new
son went to police headquarters last
night to thank the department for
bringing about the reunion. The
father declared himself indeed a
happy man" and Edward said he
liked it all fine"

Electric Inspections
Are Three Weeks Behind

Home buyers were urged yesterday
by j. S. Zebley, chief electrical in
spector of the District. not to wait
until they are ready to move into
their homes before applying for ap-
proval of electrical inspections-un-
less they are willing to go without
light and power for time.
Mr.. Zebley reported his Office is
about three weeks behind in making
even the most urgent" inspections
requested, due to lack of sufficient
inspectors. He said the Electric Di-
vision now has more than 1,700
urgent" requests on file and that
they are coming in at the rate of
$50 to 200 day.
Emphasizing that requests for in
spections should be made in writing,
Mr.. Zebley said: Real estate agents,
builders and the public are urged to
cooperate with the division and see
that the final inspection of any new
installation has been made and ap-
proved before occupying such prem
ises to avoid unnecessary incon-
venience to new tenants and home
owners"
