(Use what Doctors do) Why do the bowels usually move regularly and thoroughly, long after a physician has given you treatment for constipation? Because the doctor gives a liquid laxative that can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of real and safe relief from constipation. Ask your doctor about this. Ask frour druggist how popular liquid axatives have become. The right liquid laxative gives the right kind of help, and the right amount of help. When the dose is repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until the bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. The liquid laxative generally used i* Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara, and these are natural laxatives that form no habit ? "even in children.

EXPERTS ANALYZE KIDNAPER'S NOTES Compare Handwriting With That of Hauptmann. By W. C. WEBBER FLE.MINdTON, .V, ,1. ? Such seem ingly Innocent tri\ inlities as failure to dot an *i,' cross a " t , | the slant of a Icjter, a hyphen, may | prove a deciding factor in sending a man to tin* electric ch.iir convicted of i lie crime of murdering little Charles Lindbergh, son of the famous aviator. Those tiny, individual churact'eristics. which handwriting experts assert are ineradicable in each person's writing, are being fought over point by point, curve by curve, 11s the state Introduces what some observers c'aitn is strong evidence that Kruno liichard Haupt mann, Bronx ex-carpenter, was author of the notes which resulted in payment of the $50,000 ransom money by Dr. J. F. "Jafsle" Condon. Huge photostatic enlargements of certain words and letters from the ransom letters and from Hauptmann's admitted writings have been hung In the courtroom for the Information of the Jury. The sheets, each G feel in height and 4 feet In width have been tacked to the wall behind the witness chair where the kidnuper'b ladder hud rested earlier in the trial. The ad mitted writings and the disputed writ, ings are shown in parallel columns marked "Hauptmann writing'' and "ransom note's. Albert S. Osborn, seventy-six years old and silvery-haired, testified in a clear, resonant voice ?lint it was his opinion the ransom notes were all writ ten by the writer of the various papers signed by Itichard Hauptmann, and that all fourteen of the ransom notes were written by the surne wr.'ltr. Osborn was positive In his statement that Hauptmann penned the notes. The expert proved a good witness, de spite his deafness which forced attor neys to speak very loudly when ad dressing him. He Identified himself as an expert in. 39 stntes nnd in Can ada nnd England, nnd Is the author of two books on the subject of hand writing. In several verbnl exchanges with defense attorneys he proved him self more than a match. In explaining his compnrlson, Osborn gave nn exposition on the general basis for compnrlson of handwritings. Char acteristics In handwritlnu, he said, are the same as the characteristics of any thing else. There are nieny things by which handwriting might he Identified exnetly as a man, >r an automobile or a horse Is identified, by general de scription, and then by individual marks and scars and by characteristics which In combination make It apparent that they are not the result of nccident. lie confirmed. When pupils learn the same system of writing. If they learn to write per fectly, one writing cannot be dtstin gulshed from another, hut that does not occur, Osborn pointed out. Wilt ing, he said, begins as an acquired qualification, It Is an acquired habit first Imitating the forms, and then the forms become more easily made, until finally writing becomes succession of habitual motions, f'tifidn Identical habitual motions were fe he seen In both the writing on rlio ransom rff>tes and the accepted writing done by Hauptnian?, Osborn declared. The letter "x" was pointed out at the start. Mr. Osborn sn->weo that It was a clear, open "x,'' looking more like "ee," and that It wasn't an "x" at all The "t," he testified, showed decided (Jernwtn (!?"???< fe:!sfh ?*, >1- (||-| the let tern Mh" und "a." Il.iuptmniiii had a peculiar habit of finishing words In an awkward way with strokes that are tfro long, Osborn said, and also used a hyphen between the two words In New \ ork. In the ransom notes, he said, he found only t!ire? of the .*101 "fa" were crossed, and the name was true of a "very large number" of the samples Hnuptiuanii wn.n for the po Hce. Only seven of the small "IV In the ransom notes were clotted, nnd tho *ame proportion held irue In Hnupt inann's admitted writing, Osborn con tinued, and several sheets did not have a dotted "I" nt all. Another Instance of similarity which Osborn pointed out to the Jury was n hyphen used between the two words in "New York." A specimen taken from the writing that was on the sleeping suit wrapper was pointed out as hav ing tiiis characteristic. A photostatic copy of Hnuptmnnn's writing on one of the automobile registrations was then shown by Ushoi n to have tli^ same name hyphenated. Other words pointed out by the ex pert as showing examples of broken Knglisdi and Herman spellings in both sets of writings wen. : "auer" for ?our.*' "ails" for "us," Wy" for "\vy," J "note"' for "not,'' "gnte" for "good," I ingore ' tor "ignore,"' "singature"' for ' ".signature" ami "lite" for "the." j The expert testified that he had ex- | j atnined about a hundred samples of | I hand wr.iing which had been brought ' to him by New Jersey police and fed eral agents. Among these, he said, j were samples of writing by Isadore I l'isch, (iorman furrier, who." the state ! eontetids, was actually the abductor of the baby. Fisch died later in (Sernianv. ! l'isch continues to loom in the back- ' ground as the delense's chief reliance. J In suggesting that Fisch wrote the ran- ? som notes, a spokesman for the prose cution declares that this line of de fense will not avail, since It does not take the eye of an expert to see the utter dissimilarity between the neat, nourishing penmanship of Fisch and the scrawl of the ransom notes. It is understood from those who have sam ples of Flsch's handwriting In their possession that Ids hand was that of a man who took pride in his penman ship, forming his letters neatly and correctly and dotting all I's and cross ing all T's. The defense has maintained that Fisch is the actual receiver of the ran som money, that It was he who kid naped the child, and Hauptmann was his wholly unconscious dupe. Haupt mann has declared that he was asso ciated with Fisch in the fur trade, nnd that he loaned Fisch $7?r>00 and that l'isch left with hi in a package which only a few weeks before his arrest, 'Haupt mann discovered to he the ransom money, the bulk of which was found In his garage. The state holds it can prove that ransom notes were circu lated by him many months earlier than last summer, or even last spring. fteilly attempted to show that too few handwriting exhibits had been brought Into the courtroom, then opened up a line of questioning de signed t?> force Osborn to admit that a Scandinavian could have written the ransom notes. The expert said there was an essential dKTerence between (iorman and Scandinavian script. Some connection was seen between this line of questioning and that of Ueilly when Hetty CJow, the bal y's nurse, was on the stand, with reference to "Ited" Johnson, Norwegian snllor. whom she admitted having toM of activities of the Lindbergh household on the day the kidnaping occurred. Another handwriting exoeit whose testimony bus .been unshaken under questioning of llcllly is k ' :dge W. Stein, who said he had testified In the recent Vnnderbllt cnse in New York ns well jis the Wendel and Ridley cases. Stein said he had first studied the ransom notes and request writings of Hauptmann In July, ID.TJ. and de clared it was his opinion that the same man, Hauptmann, wrote both. Ho admitted thero were differences, but Insisted that there were similarities be tween the spelling |n the two seta of writing. Charts and photograph* of words taken from the ransom notes nnd the other writings done l? Houpt rmnn were produced by Stein In sup port of his statements. As the hearing progresses. Haupt mann appears to have lost much of t lip calmness which marked his first ap pearance In court. The stolidity of fhn ex carpenter which was so remarkable when he was Iden'ir.ed by both Colonel Lindbergh and I >r. J. F. Condon Is not so apparent. Kmotlons show In bis fnce, although even close watchers admit there Iwis been no sign or fear or alarm among them. Occasionally he talks to his wj f e In a low voice. 'I he accused contlnuerto follow each word of the trial with deep interest Me appeared especially Interested In' the handwriting testimony, craning his neck to see as the expert pointed out on the large chart the similarities bo tween his own and the ransom writing Colonel Lindbergh, who has been at tending nil the court sessions, was also absorbed ns tho expert* gave their testimony. Mormon Cricket One of Farmer's Worst Enemies The Mormon cricket, essentially in Insect of the mountains, has been i destructive pest In the United States since 1S48. It la always pres ?nt In the high, rugged hills of Colo rado, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. Now and then It becomes abundant enough to leave Us namral habitat and migrate, in great bands. Into the cultivated valleys. These outbreaks, as a rule, last from two to six years, or until the crickets are overcome by man, by natural enemies, or by weather conditions. Mormon crickets usually migrate In bands varying from the size of a city block to a square mile or more. The bands are very dense, often with 100 to ThX) crickets to the square foot. From the time they hctch in the spring until they disappear In the fall the crickets are almost con stantly In motion. Once under way, the band travels In a straight line, stopping at nothing. If It meets a board fence or a house, It tries to climb over the top, rather than go ing around. - ? Dr. Pierce's Pelleta are best for liver, bowelH and htoinach.
