If YOUR TENDENCY
TO CONSTIPATION
Is INCREASING

PLAIN FACTS! Many doctors warn
that most purges and laxatives act on
the entire 81 feet of your intestinal
canal. However, constipation usually
occurs only in the last 8 feet of bowels
with the result these laxatives
often increase your tendency to
constipation!
Beecham's Laxative Pills do not
cause dangerous increase Of
constipation because they act chiefly
on the "vital 3 feet"-noton the entire
bowels. That's avhy many doctors
recommend Beecham's Laxative
Ingredient! Beecham's Pills are
gentle, thorough, Gu-vegetable. No
shock, no strain, no overstimulationl
Tonight, promote that happy
feeling of regularity-try reliable
Beecham's Laxative Pills. Tomorrow
feel great! Buy at your druggists
only 100, 25e. Caution: take only as
directed. Satisfaction guaranteed or
maker will refund your money!

begins to reach market.
He added. however, that he could
not say now when or whether the
meats we are making point free will
again have to be given point values
Much depends upon the feed sit
uation, which, in turn, Is dependent
in large measure on the weather"
he explained.
1.-THE animal population now is
Of record proportions. Whether 1t
can be maintained depends upon
the amount of feed, and feed grains
must be shared by meat animal
herds, with dairy cows and poui-
try.
Industrial Alcohol
Part of our feed grains must be
set aside for the making OF indus
trial alcohol, an important ingred-
lent in synthetic rubber for auto
mobile tires"
He added that it has been, land
will continue to be-" the policy OF
the OPA to ration only essential
commodities in which demand ex-
ceeds supply, and point values
will not be restored to these meats
unless absolutely necessary"
He pointed out that in connec-
ton with this policy, the last few
months have seen the removal Of
points values from frozen fruits and
vegetables, fats and oils and some
other meats and number OF major
canned vegetable items.
In addition, typewriters have
been taken out Of rationing and

President Roosevelt. Sen. Chan
Quincy led 1t. Gov. A. G. Miller,
30,152 to 21,967, for the Republican
senatorial nomination on the basis
of returns from 1,163 OF the states
1853 precincts.
In the Florida primary, the three
other candidates, Willard Conklin
Of Daytona Beach, Aston Cockren
of Jacksonville and Finley Moore OF
Lake City, apparently failed to OBJ
tain even enough votes to check
peppers majority and force him
into a runoff with Edmunds. Ne
groes cast their ballots in the Flo
rida primary for the first time.
Pepper compaigned on a plat
form of solid support for the ma
tional administration and contended
that his opponents attacked him
only to stab President Roosevelt in
the back. All four of his opponents
challenged his down the line sup
port Of administration policies.
Hill also was a setback to hopes
Of anti-administration leaders of a
revolt in the Democratic South. He
hailed his victory as "a verdict for
Americas war effort" Hill, who
nominated President Roosevelt for
a third term, based his entire cam
paign on his support of the admin
istration while Simpson pleaded for

rights"

Sabotage by French and Belgian
patriots also has helped paralyze
the Nad-operated railway lines and
prevented reconstruction work, he
added.
The spokesman said German rail-
way ZINES in the Balkans also have
been badly disrupted by Sabotage
and bombing. He described the
situation In Bulgaria as chaotic"
Bulgarian ports and railway
towns along the Bulgarian Turkish
frontier are choked with war ma

He asserted that the Germans
also are confronted with q critical
shortage OF trained railwaymen in
side the Reich as well as In the &C.

Lend-lease, which ordinarily takes
up to IS per cent Of the pork pro-
duction, he said, now had adequate
stocks and no pork currently Is 60
ing to lend lease.
Army and Navy demands for
meat, principally beef, have been
brought to a current basis" he
added.
Lamb and mutton production now
is greater than it was at this time
last year, largely because droughts
have dried up pasture lands in some
producing areas and supplies OF dry
feed are tight.
Point Cut
At the same time Bowles ordered
the monthly allotment OF 60 RED
points for each individual cut to 80,
beginning May z. Because OF the
wide selection of meats now MADE
available without red ration points,
Bowles said the monthly point allot'
ment slash was necessary TO keep
ration values from becoming water
ed. Previously OPA validated 80 REQ
points every two weeks.
Red stamps R-8, and T8 will be
validated next Sunday. After thae
no more red stamps will become
good until June 8.
Under todays orders, the only
red-point items no wrequiring ra-
ton points, in addition to the choice
beef cuts, are butter, margarine,
cheese and cheese products and
evaporated milk.
At a press conference Bowles IN
dicated that points might be lower

ers withdrew without less, although
two tanks and a tank-retriever were
damaged in an enemy minefield.
Sharp patrol fighting also was re-
ported from the main 5th Army
front, where Allied troops and gun
ners beat off several Nad thrusts
around San Biagio and in the Upper
Garigliano River Valley Just south
of San Andrea. Small-scale Ger
man attacks on the Allied Adriatic
front north of Orsogna were repulsed
by artillery and machine gun fire.
Allied medium bombers ranged
over Central Italy yesterday, at
lacking railway bridges along the
main Rome-Florence line, while
American heavies swung out over
northern and northeastern Italy to
pound the Castel Maggiore, Parma
and Fano freight yards and Spezia
harbor. Raj heavy and medium

Six Allied planes were lost in the
widespread operations. and one en-
