RED CROSS RELSE AIDS DISTRESSED IN 120 DISASTERS Help Given in Fires, Floods, Earth quake and Epidemics Part of Year’s Task Can constipation actually be over come?^ ‘‘Yes!” say medical men. ‘‘Yes!” say the many thousands Who. have, followed their advice and know. You are not likely to cure your constipation with salts, pills, tablets, or any of the habit-forming cathar tics. But you can correct this con dition by gentle regulation with a suitable liquid laxative. THE LIQUiID TEST: This is the way many men and women have made their bowels as regular as- clockwork in a very short time. First: select a properly prepared liquid laxative. Second: take the dose you find suited to your system. Third!: gradually reduce the dose until bowels are moving of their own accord. Simple, isn’t it? And it works! The right i’quid laxative brings thorough bowel action without using force. An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is syrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and is perfectly safe. Its laxative action is based cn senna—a natural laxa tive. The bowels will not become dependent on this form of help, as in the case of mineral drugs. Hospitals and > doctors nave al ways used liquid laxatives. The dose can be measured, and the action controlled.. Pills and tablets containing drugs of violent action are hard on the bowels. If there are children in your household, don’t give them any fad form of laxative, hut use a health ful, helpful preparation like syrup pepsin. Its very taste will tell you it is wholesome, and agreeable to the stomach. Delightful taste, and delightful action; there is no dis comfort at the time, or after. Ask your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, all ready to take.

Chairman John Bar .to Payne announced. "As the year closed the organization continued,in readiness to serve in the forthcoming win.ter at the point of greatest need and to adjust its service to meet the calls of the emergency of unemployment and disaster,” Chairman Payne stated. In a year of greatest economic dls tress in the nation’s history, ia which the Red Cross ably discharged a relief task in distributing flour and clothing to distressed famil/js in ail but six of the nation’s 3,098 counties, the organi zation also was called into action in 120 disasters, of which 9fl were within the borders of the United States. Earthquake, floods, hurricanes, fires and other cataclysms visited death and destruction upon the lives and homes of thousands of people. Red Cross sta tistics showed that in the 120 disasters almost a thousand lives were lost. 148,- 340 homes were destroyed or damaged. 13,275 persons were injured, and Red Cross relief was given to 452,879 indi viduals.

During one period of twelve weeks, 46 disasters occurred in 23 states. Red Cross disaster workers were hard pressed in meeting all of these needs occurring at once, but everywhere mis ery was promptly relieved.

The greatest task ever undertaken by a relief agency in the history of private charity is drawing to a clo’se with the final distribution of cotton clothing to more than five million families by the American Red Cross. At the direction of the Congress. b& ginning eighteen months ago. tbe Red Cross undertook to convert the wheat and cotton surpluses of * the Farm Board into food and clothing for the unemployed and needy. In the con sequent operation, this relief agency entered upon a commercial enterprise greater than any single commercial firm has ever undertaken in the same period of time. ; In the ensuing months the Red Croea converted 85.000.90l) bushels of wheat,into flour and bread and gave it to 5.803.000 families. The distribution was through 3,700 Red Cross chapters and hundreds of other charitable agen cies. During tbe severe northwestern drought of 1931 tbe Red Cross also gave wheat in the form of food for live stock to 184,188 families. The clothing — dresses, underwear, overalls, jumpers, sweaters and stock ings for men. women and children, and even blankets and comforters—was dis tributed to 5,405,410 families. More than 54,000.000 ready-made garments and 92.000,000 yards of cotton yloth were given to the needy. This clothing came from 844,000 bales cf cotton. Tbe wheat distribution was conclud ed in June. 1933. and final distribution of cotton clothing is occurring in the fall months. In handling these tasks voted to It by Congress, the Red Cross will ex pend from its own treasury $735,000. At the same time the organization car ried on its regular program of disaster relief; of service to the veterans of all our wars: of educational and welfare work through the Junior Red Cross: of health education and public health nursing and of life saving and first aid. Funds for this work come from the membership roll call the Red Cross chapters conduct from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day, when every one is invited to join the Red Croes and aid in this vital relief work. Seven hundred thousand women vol unteers under the Red CroSa banner sewed for the needy last year and many thousands still are making cot ton garments for their Red Cross chapters. BUY NOT, EAT NOT jfp- By BOOTH TARKINGTON Sometimes we have to go against our training or go Broke. S •’re times what we have always believed to be a rule of virtuous condm t proves fatal in practice. For instance, we have grown up in the belie', fostered by our parents and teachers and enforced by our governmer/, that we have no right to take or use the property of another perse i without his consent, but if the property in question happens to be a blackjack that the other person is about to bring down on my head I shall have a better chance of surviving if I.perceive, in time, the unwisdom of clinging unalterably to bid convictions. That is, the: ? are times of emergency when clinging; tO).an old conviction wilj fcs ruinous. Let us consider the present time in its relation to our old con viction in favor of thrift. People of pioneer stock are often spoken of as the “backbone of C.'.t country,” and probably they are. Pioneers are thrifty or they don’t sur vive. If the wood pile is used too freely in the autumn it may not la t through the winter, and the Midland child learned thrift at its grand mother’s knee. Moreover, we’ve been taught for several generations that it isn’t what a man earns that counts and takes care of him in his old age; it’s what he saves. We've always believed that thrift is a virtue, that spending is risky and that squandering suicidal. We demand thrift from our government, vote against political candidates proven unthrifty, and we investigate, and often relegate to private life, officials shown to be carelessly lavish with public funds. The value of thrift, indeed, is one of our strongest convictions. No one doubts thut it is a right and useful conviction or that it would be dangerous to unsettle it; but here is the United States government coming to us now, asking us to buy, buy, buy, advising us to spend our money rather than to save it, and generally appearing to set itself strongly in opposi tion to that old principle of thriftipess in which we were trained. Thero seems to be a contradiction somewhere. Moreover, the government asks us to spend at a time when we have the least to spare, at a time when the Federal government itself, as well as our State, county and city governments, are taking heavily from us in taxes and in that way lessening our power to spend. Worse still, our government, through the N.R.A., asks us to spend at a moment of great financial uncertainty in our lives, at a moment when we don't know whether we’re emerging from the depression or going deeper into it, and when we aren’t sure whether we’re less afraid of the future t!i?.a we were a year ago, or more so. The curijous thing about the govern ment’s exhortation to us to spend is that the exhorters know how we feel and how we’re situated; they know our old conviction in favor of thriftiness and they agree with that conviction—and yet these same exhorters ask us to buy, buy, buy! What’s the answer? Money is a means of trade. If you had a cord of wood and no food, and your neighbor had a cellar full of potatoes and no fuel, and if neither of you were willing to trade, he’d have raw potatoes to eat but he’d freeze to death, and you’d have heat enough perhaps, but you’d starve to death. Thrift’is indeed a virtue; but this is a time of emergency during which it’s necessary to btiy goods so that somebody’ll have money enough to pay us for what we produce. If it’s hard for us to get rich by washing one another’s shirts, it’s cer tainly impossible for us to make a living by washing our own. It seems wiser to live by spending than to perish by saving.' WHY WAIT FOR GEORGE TO SPEND IT Legend tells us of a Chinese ruler who decreed that at a given momciit each and every one of his subjects should yell at his loudest »*< that the man in the moon might hear. TJ.z gr*ct day came—and silence.. Not a sound was heard,ip.all .U}e land except the feeble cry of tns old deaf man. Everyone else* kept quiet so that he himself could bear the others. Thua v o see that otic mere -ancient discovery may be credited to the resourceful Chinese—that of "ieuing George do it”—the most widely used of r.ll their gifts to civilization. Today too mary of us are waiting for George to spend it. I a;a no prophet. I have no standing as an economist. And I am r t a Tcr..:it,d:-.:i despite my claim that a thing can be made larger by taking away a p?tt of it. What do I mean? The be t way to insure capital is to spend a part of it when prices arc low. Tho nr a ■ r Vu spends one dollar out of ten in making business bcUcr will find the nine worth :uore than tho t:n o.« values risa. Mass achievement is ever a matter of individual and co-orvTtPivst •cticn. Napoleon got his army over the Alps a man at a time. We om*: rescale the peaks of prosperity the same way. Tho Nov/ is Tile 7 izr.e To Buy Trail is our easiest path. Each one who can must spend—and millions can spend if they but will. While we are waiting for the release oif frozen fun-!/ t-» a buying wave, nineteen out oi every twenty dollars in 16,655 b-.-.t * strj free to spend as we will. $33,695,974,000 are on deposit. This as 25 cent more money than we had in all of our banks when we wen: into the World War to help save those across the sea. Now we refuse to save ourselves. Depression will linger if we wait to spend out of income instead of out of capital—and our capital may shrink while we wait. Industry has signed with N. R. A. Some have signed until it hur^. The public should now sign wjth industry and spend some of its crp*- tal. The cow without pasture can give no milk. An industry withouT sales can^pay no wages. Feed industry. Buy* something. Build som— thing. Let us not forget this—better an hour of work than a dollar for dole. Capital is going to take care of the unemployed—either by buying what labor produces or by dole taxation. The choice is obvious. And when we spend, personal selfishness should take a holiday. The chisel should not replace the golden rule as a business tool. Those who use it will help prolong depression and in the end murder quality. Let’s take a look at the Blue Eagle. We see in its grasp the symbols of industry and action. The chisel is conspicuous by its absence. Let’s remember this whenever we do business with our fellow men. And further, neither capital nor labor should attempt in times like these to intrench itself at the expense of the common good. And no chisel should lurk in any political coat-tail. Let us have public, as well as private, unselfishness. Ours is the richest country in all the world. It is rich in money. It is rich in market. It is rich in a necessity of replacement and repair built up by the highest standards of living the world- has ever known. Let’s inflate our confidence before we inflate our currency. Let s remember that God helps those who help themselves and that Mr. Roosevelt is not likely to do more. He can’t throw the forward passes a.:d catch them too. He expects each and every one of us to play hall wun him. Let’s stop nursing depression. Let’s begin to count our blessings. Liioin ?ss is better. It is like a man with a trunk half way up stairs. It is bui taking a rest before starting for the top. Let’s give it a boost. . , Buy Something! , . Build Something! This message is not addressed to those who cannot spend or to those who m*w aie spending. It is addressed to the man who is jingling the slack'-r del:*i in hi* pocket, little aware that it is growing less in purchasing power as {.rices rise.
