FORD FAVORS HOOVERAS DRY Prohibition, Prosperity and Nominee Linked. Bn United Press SOUTH SUDBURY, Mass., Oct. • % 16.—Henry Ford favors Herbert Hoover for President because he believes there is a connection between prohibition and prosperity and because the Republican nominee favors prohibition. The motor magnate explained his political attitude while vacationing at his Wayside Inn here. “Prohibition is an issue in this campagn because it is a part of our prosperity,’’ he said. “We cannot have industrial prosperity* without sobriety and in this country, at least, we have not been able to get sobriety without prohibition. / “The first* effect of a reversal of prohibition would be a decline in wages. “Our high wage rate is based on steady, efficient workmanship, and whatever interferes with that basis will bring wages down.”

Dr. Caldwell’s 3 Rules Keep You Healthy

Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries to avoid it. Os next importance, then, is how to treat it when it cqgies. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not a habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleas-ant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their systems. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like a different person. Get a bottle today, at any drug store and observe these three rules

N.Y. GANG WAR IS REVIVED WITH SEDANMURDER Slayer of Man Found in Blue Auto Discovered on Street Wounded. NEW YORK, Oc. 16.—Two men were shot, one fatally and the other critically, today in what police believe is a revival of a gang war. Attracted by shots, a’ policeman found a man lying, with two pistols at his side, on the sidewalk of Fifty-Fourth street, a few feet from Broadway, not far from where Tony Marlow was shot down ten days ago by gangsters. A blood trail led to the curbing. Near by lay the door of a blue sedan, apparently wrenched off in a collision resulting from the assailants’ effort to escape. . The victim, with three bullets in his body, was taken to a hospital. Papers in his pocket gave his name as Joseph Noa, with two New York addresses. Two hours later police found the body of a man huddled in the reri* seat of a doorless blue sedan at Avenue D and East Twelfth street. It was believed he was one of Noa’s attackers and had been shot by the fallen man. A garage attendant told police the car had been driven to his garage by four men, who left it there. Later they telephoned for him to drivie it to Avenue D and East Twelfth street.
