Constipation Relief
That Also
Pepsin-izes Stomach

When constipation brings on acid indi-
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with GER
tain undigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative SIENNA to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take DR.. Caldwelps Laxative, because it's
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won
derfulstomachcomfort whilethe Laxative
SIENNA moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those Jumps Of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation, So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy DR.. Caldwell's Lax
ative-Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your
druggist today

Public Housing Do Not
Understand It

CHARLOTTE, Jan. %. - Ho -
Nathan Straus, Federal Housing
administrator, told the Charlotte
Rotary club today that "the only
people who oppose public housing
are those who do not understand

last part of the century and the
early part of the 1900's showing
that public schools, public road
building and maintenance and gov
eminent control of water power
were opposed then, just as public
housing is opposed today, on the
grounds that they were communis-
tic and socialistic and no part Of
the functions of government.
Speaking of the social benefits
of public housing, the administra
tor said that slum conditions bre6

Better housing and slum clearance
he said, reduces those ills. Tit
housing program, he added, hurts
nobody but owners of the stun

constructed by federal funds in q
community a corresponding unit I'm
fit for human habitation must be

Defense Survey Made
In Building Industry
The Washington Building Con-

The Washington Building Con-
gress has been conducting a survey
of the building industry of metro
politan Washington to determine its
resources in man power and pro-
ductive capacity, and its possibili-
ties for expansion if called upon in
connection with the national de-
fense program. The results have
been turned over to the national
defense agencies connected with
building.
The purpose of the congress in
assembling these facts was to obtain
a general picture of the local Situa-
ton and to set up the machinery for
getting more specific information
about any branch of the industry
which Government agencies con-
nected with the defense program
may find necessary or desirable.
H A. Johns, chairman of the COM
mittee, selected as subchairmen 68
men thoroughly familiar with local
building through long experience
in their own fields. The response of
