Why Doctors Favor a Liquid Laxative A doctor will tell you that the careless use of strong laxatives may do more harm than good. Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form.

This extra woman writer, for it is particularly true with women that much of what, we are able to accomplish depends on how much we can stand, The hardest battles are not al- “ways fought in the field of action. Indeed most of us have at some time said: “It’s so much easier when there’s something you can do.” Sometimes the most important “doing” consists of “standing” something that is hard to stand. — a The “energy to do” is, of course, an important thing. In. this rushing, load, the figures show, amounted to. $54,453,000 in the last five years. _. As far as I can see, and I have considerable charging fraud in the award of contracts for the purchase of millions of dollars worth of motor trucks for the army under the Roosevelt administration. Actually, the disclosures came within 24 hours of each other, although naturally the Black discoveries were of incidents that took place about two years ago. It does not change the picture, however, from the po- litical standpoint. Each party has found slime in its own household, and neither can deny it before the voters next November, In addition to the motor contract fraud charges that the Democrats must explain away, there have been numerous cases throughout the country of petty graft in connection with Civil Works administration affairs. None of these have been of more than local consequence in that they usually involved only one or two persons hardly known outside of their own communities, but they have made up in numbers that which they lacked in size. And from the partisan standpoint, they constitute the basis of trouble for the party in power when they occur. The reason is that the average person in those communities will know all about that kind of crookedness, whereas a gigantic conspiracy of the type alleged in the air mail eontracts or those involving the motor trucks seem rather outside of the picture because they have no local connections. In other words, we don’t know the people concerned. But the President has moved with considerable speed on the charges in each instance. He ordered Postmaster General Farley to cancel the air mail contracts, not one but all of them, and turned the job of carrying the air mail over to the army. He ordered Attorney General Cummings to go after the alleged crookedness in the motor truck case, with the resulting indictments. All of which seems to give the present administration the advantage in the political battles that may be expected in the campaign, yet the opinfons I hear around Washington do not support that view.: The observers and analysts insist that neither political party can make ‘much use of arguments about fraud without stirring up a fresh mess for itself, * 8 * side, in research work on of neiHach view, is not supporting its wholly motivated by utilitarian nationalistic sentiment. * I have tion that Take *« always each or bustling, held of us, the convic- as an individual, is and Themselves can be no more than. _ just one of the teeming millions inhabiting this old earth, and, holding that belief, I never have thought that any of us ought to be impressed with his own importance. In other words, “don’t take yourself too seriously.” But my philosophy of life apparently is not shared by members of congress. Most of them do take themselves seriously, very seriously.
