Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and Also
Pepsin-ize 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
tam undigestedf 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.. Caldwelrs Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that Won
Observation-Disclosures while the Laxative
SIENNA moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those Jumps Of
undigested protein food which may linper
inyour 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!/

It's Usually A Mistake For Women
To Be Sensible, Declares Writer
BY RUTH MILLETT

Months ago Rosette Hargrove,
noted Paris fashion reporter, told
American women that French wom-
en- were not going military" in
their dress. She said that they were
instead wearing the most feminine
clothes they could find, reasoning
that the soldier on leave wants to
see women looking pretty and fem.
mime.
That was not the attitude Of the
British women, who, as soon as the
war broke out, took to uniforms
and trousers like ducks to water.
Time has proven the French wo-
men, and not the English, know
men.
But now the English women, say
the latest reports from London,
have seen the error Of their ways,
and are getting into feminine
clothes at every opportunity. Some
of them are even breaking the
rules of the auxiliary military or
CARNATIONS, which forbid members
to appear in anything but uniforms.

mistake of being sensible. I'VE are

But the men didn't reason that
way-or reason at all. They accept.

doing, but didn't like to see them
look the role they are. playing.
Women always make a mistake
when they reason that they can
dispense with femininity.

Republican Candidate for President
pose to do it by spending as little as
possible"
Advocated the Draft
Many of his significant remarks
were couched, in such terms-terse,
crisp and simple.
In his acceptance speech, he
drew up the blueprints from which
he built his political structure in
the campaign addresses that fol-
lowed. Perhaps the outstanding fea-
ture of the speech was his endorse
ment of the draft. He also an
nounced his support of a program
of full aid to Britain in the war
against Germany and Italy and
proposed that President Roosevelt
meet him in series of platform de-
bates.
Asserting German domination of
the Atlantic would be Calamity
for the United States, Willkie went
on to castigate the New Deal for its
conduct of foreign affairs and in
dicating the President as follows:
WILKES background for the po-
litical faith set forth in that key
speech was that of LIBERAL mid
western lawyer whose first case was
the defense of labor union, a mil
liant head of a billion dollar utility
corporation who voted for President
Roosevelt in 1882 ana even contrib
uted $3.50 to the Presidents cam
paign.
The liberals true function, Will
kie believes, Is to strive to make
men free" and that was the Oft
proclaimed aim or the dark horse
candidate in the campaign. On
Aug, 81, he angrily repudiated any
support from the Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin, the Detroit radio priest,
remarking he was not sufficiently
interested in becoming President
to warrant seeking the support of
those who espoused racial or re-
ligious prejudice.
His opponents made political
capital out of the endorsement of
Willkie by the Deutscher Weckruff
and Beobachter, official organ of
the German American Bund, de-
spite WILKES vigorous opposition
to Hitlerism at home as we'll as
abroad.
The racial issue flared up into a
brief but bitter campaign contro-
versy in October when a pamphlet

by some 100000 people.
The campaign itself, too, was
conducted along unorthodox lines,
From the day the former Com
monwealth and Southern presi-
dent was nominated by the runaway
Philadelphia convention, he hacked
at the New Deal from a variety OF
angles, praising majority OF its
social detectives but bitterly flashing
the administration for what he con-
sidered its shortcomings in execu-
ton.
Many of his speeches were ex-
temporaneous-but his address of
acceptance at Elwood, Ind, on
Aug. II was a formal statement of
political credo which he read and
in which he said:
1.-THE New Deal stands for doing
what has to be done by spending
as much money as possible. I pro-
