Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and
Comfort Stomach. too

When constipation brings on acid in
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and
bad breath, your stomach is probably
crying the blues" because your bowels
don't move. 1t calls for Laxative-Senna
to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin to save
your touchy stomach from further dis
tress. For years, many Doctors have used
pepsin compounds as vehicles, or car
riers to make other medicines agreeable
to your stomach. So be sure your laxa-
tive contains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on
DR.. Caldwell's Laxative SIENNA combined
with Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully
the Laxative SIENNA wakes up lazy nerves
and muscles in your intestines to bring
welcome relief from constipation. And
the good old Syrup Pepsin makes this
laxative so comfortable and easy on
your stomach. Even fnicky children
love the taste of this pleasant family
laxative. Buy DR.. Caldwell's Laxative
SIENNA at your druggist today. Try one
laxative that comforts your stomach, too.

EUROPE IS LASHED
BY RAGING STORMS
More Than Half of Santana

Houses by Fire

LISBON, Portugal, Feb. 17.-lR)
Raging storms and floods dashed
the breadth of Europe from the
Black Sea to the Atlantic today
and at Santander, Spain, m o r e
than half the city's 81, 900 popula-
ton was reported forced fir o m
their homes by a wall of wind
blown flames in the wake of Sum

Spain and Portugal, the hardest
hit, together counted at least AS
dead, thousands of injured a n d
property damage running into mil
lions of dollars. Hundreds of per-
sons were unaccounted for in Por-
tugal and it "a feared the total
death list would mount.
Scores of buildings were de-
stroyed or damaged by the flames
which started in Santander's har-
Dor last night and still were rag
ing tonight in that northern Span
ish port on the Bay of Biscay.
Santander firemen were believed,
however, to be bringing the flames
slowly under control.
The Bank of Spain building, the
18th century Gothic cathedral, the
government revenue office and the
customs house were destroyed
there along with many residential
and commercial buildings by the
fire, which started with an ex-
plosion aboard an oil tanker in
the harbor.
Meager reports coming from the
Spanish port by way of a ships
radio in the harbor estimated the
loss at between 100 to $50 million
pesetas $50, 600, 900 to $13, soc, 000).
A late afternoon broadcast by the
Santander radio said some 80, 900
persons had fled their homes.
Reports reaching Bern, Switzer-
land, said many persons e
killed and injured in floods and
storms sweeping across the con-
tinent and extending through the
