Indiana Girl is Rewarded

WHEN children are weak and run-down, they are easy prey to colds or children’s diseases. So it is never wise to neglect those weaken--ing and depressing symptoms, such as bad breath, coated tongue, fretfulness, feverishness, biliousness, lack of •energy and appetite, etc. Nine times out of ten these things point to one trouble —constipation. Mothers all around you are coming right out in. public to tell how their children are being relieved of this trouble by California Fig Syrup. } Mrs. Rav Bundy, of 245 South Randolph Street, Indianapolis, says: 7TA neighbor told me about it, so I 1 decided to give Margie some California Fig Syrup when I saw by her -lad breath, coated tongue and feverishness that she was constipated. *; “She has been more than rewarded for taking Fig Syrup. It made her a "well, happy girl promptly. She never jpomplains of any symptoms of confttipation now.’’ ' The genuine, endorsed by doctors "for 50 years, always bears the word California.

WALSH MAY RETIRE Montana Wet Sentiment Is Gaining Impetus, Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Public sentiment against prohibition in Montana is likely to result next month in the retirement from public life of United States Senator Thomas J.

Poor Studio Politician, Anita’s Comeback Fails

BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 13. Although four years have passed since Anita Stewart retired from the films there are many in Hollywood who believe a “come-back” might be hers if the fates just shifted things a little. In fact, some of her friends are so bold as to say that Anita might

become a factor in the talking pictures if she would indulge in that merry little game of “studio politics.” Miss Stewart admits, however, that she is a very poor politician. People tell me to give a little dinner. Invite such an such a producer or director, Play up your social con-

IGNORED IN PROBE, DALE DISSATISFIED

Muncie Mayor May Take Further Action in Graft Case. , Bit Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. 13.—Although a report of the Delaware county grand jury had nothing in it de-rogatory-to Mayor George R. Dale, he declares he is dissatisfied and threatens to file a perjury charge against Horace Weber, who is accused of making charges that the present city administration is profiting from street paving contracts. No mention of the case was made in the grand jury report. Dale had asked that the investigation include himself and other city officials named by Weber. Commenting on the case, Dale said: “Inasmuch as it was generally known that the charge was to be investigated, I would have been more pleased if the grand jury's report had been more definite. “I am undecided as to what course 1 shall follow against Weber. I may request that the next grand jury make an investigation looking to an indictment for perjury, or I may file charges myself, not only against Weber, but against those who induced him to swear to the charges filed in his complaint. That the grand jury failed to act in the case seems to me to be prima facie evidence that Weber had no basis for his charge, since he testified and had ample opportunity to tell what he knew.” FLhY GRID LINKING W.
