A family doctors laxative is the sensible choice! •T OUR health is too important!

•jT’OUR health is too important! You can’t afford experiments with your delicate bowels when a coated tongue, bad breath, gas, headaches, nausea, feverishness, biliousness, lack of appetite, and no energy, warn of constipation. This apolies not only to grown people; it is particularly the case where young children are concerned. That's why a family doctor’s laxative is always the safe choice! Only a doctor knows just what will cleanse the system of men, women or children without harm. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin r-

is prepared today under strict supervision from freshest herbs and other pure ingredients, and exactly according to Dr. Caldwell’s original prescription.

KIDDER ON THE AIR New Augusta Spoofed Via Ether

BY EDWARD C. FULKE Ulysses centuries ago forsook advice of his friends to go adventuring, and Jason, immortal bard of Wanderlust, sacrificed his all in a life-long search for the Golden Fleece. Now in modern times, a counter-part to these ancients has been found. Hope springs eterenally in the hearts of men, and so, it Is told, that a gullible few in New Augusta, placid village north of Indianapolis, have gone in search of gold. Phantom radio waves, spreading tales of quick riches, of twentieth century black magic and of political intrigue have moved these villagers

into happy visions. Hark ye! It began on a w’intry evening several weeks ago in the general store of Elmer Klingensmith. All the boys were there, among their number, several of the township’s land owners, the village stragglers and the town's idlers. Pipes were lit, and the rhythmic splash of tobacco juice into the yawning brass cuspidor beat in common with contented hearts. There was much conversation and exchange of ideas.

He was a family doctor for more than forty-seven years. He specialized in the disorders of the digestive tract. He tested this prescription in thousands of cases. Men liked its quick and thorough action; the children liked its pleasant taste; old people praised it because it never gripes. Today, millions of families rely on Dr. Caldwell’s judgment in the selection of their laxative. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is now sold in all drug stores. It is the world’s largest selling laxative.

Rabbi Will Be Fund Workers’ Dinner Speaker

■

Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland will be the principal speaker the night of March 5 at the annual dinner meeting of the Indianapolis Community Fund at the Claypool, it was announced today. Eight members will be elected to the board of directors at the meeting and the 1930 honorary member to the fund will be named. Rabbi Silver was in France during the World war at request of the United States and French governments. He is president of the Cleveland bureau of Jewish education: member of the commission on Jewish education of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, a member of the Federation of Jewish Charities of Cleveland and a member of the international actions commission of the World Zionist organization. The Community fund dinner is being arranged by Mrs. Peter C. Reilly, Mrs. William H. Coleman and Mrs. Brandt C. Downey.

during the height of the “party” this wintry night was nothing unusual. But heart-beats of the contented group quickened nervously | when the radio broadcast drew in a | deluge of New Augusta gossip. “Old John” was there, and he ! heard this robot of the ether speak 1 out some secrets of his domestic | life. He was astonished. Other mouths fell a-gap. The ! radio w T as talking about them. “Old Joe Clutch”, (not his name) heard | the radio give him a soft political I job. It gave him the hope of a lifetime. The intersprinkling of New Augusta’s town-talk into the program at intervals during the evening proved to be a mile-stone in the city’s history. Then the evening’s end drew near. Feet were shuffled and coats were picked up. “One last announcement,” boomed j the radio. Silence reigned. I “Last moment dispatches from : authentic sources say that gold has i been discovered, on the farm of .” Hesitancy of the listeners amounted to consternation. The j store -was cleared of visitors in the I wink of an eye. Next morning, it is authoritatively ! reported in Indianapolis, hundreds I of spades of dirt had been removed j in a New Augusta gold rush. That is not all. The gullible goldj diggers, blushingly discovered their I error, converted the phantom radio j station into a village-wide industry. To every new victim in the i stronghold of the general store they j have shown the vision of impor- ! tance and wealth. Several county ; politicians, drawn into the net, have listened wide-mouthed at concocted i stories of political upheavals “just happening” and portending defeats. Two attorneys have bitten; have departed shakily. Never once has a victim seen so much as a smile on 1 the faces of the persecutors. These ; last prevent events going “too far” by “tippin off” the latest victim and letting him in on this explanation: A jokester, well known in political circles to have the voice of a W. K. Henderson and the “news-nose” of a newspaperman, has hooked-up to the radio loud speaker an old telephone transmitter. From a rear room of Klingensmith's general , store, the “announcer” sends out the 1 gossip that has brought New Augusta to anew place of importance.

D. A. R. GROUP AGAIN CHARGED WITH BLACKLIST Cancellation of Talk by Dr. Parker New Fuel for Controversy. /?!/ United Pres* HARTFORD, Conn,, Feb. 18.— Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie of Cambridge, Mass., reiterated her charges of the existence of a D, A. A. blacklist in a letter concerning the cancellation of Dr. Valeria Parker’s scheduled speech before women voters in Danbury, published in the Hartford Courant today. Dr. Parker resigned from the Hartford chapter of the D. A. R. recently as a protest against the blacklist. “Dr. Valeria H. Parker already is experiencing the characteristic resentment of D. A. R. women when their society is criticised,” said Mrs. Bailie’s letter. “Her appointment to speak before the Fairfield county League of Women Voters in Danbury has been canceled, several members of tha branch being members of the D.

In Over 60 Countries Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless “dosing,” and millions of families in more than 60 countries use Vicks for all cold troubles. To keep pace with this ever-grow-ing demand, the figures in the familiar Vick slogan are again being changed. First announced when Vicks reached "17 Million Jars Used yearly”—later raised to "21 Million.” there are now, “Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly" in the United States alone. VICKS W VAPOR U£3
