When constipation brings on add indi gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your stomach is probably loaded up with cer tain undigested food and your bowels don’t move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won derful stomach cconfort, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve thoseiumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin- izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up laay nefves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin icky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1940 Honor Memory of a Country Girl Who Founded America's First Settlement House in the Slums of a Great City those children to come over and play.” “That’s a fine plan, Jenny,” her father agreed. “I hope you will carry it out some day.” And she did, for that little girl was six-year-old Jane Addams who, 23 years later, founded Chicago’s Hull- House, America’s first and for 50 years world-famous settlement. Although Hull-House is, after the stockyards, a Chicago visi tor’s first stopping place, Jane Addams is remembered for more than Hull-House. Her efforts in behalf of laboring men and wom en throughout the state and the nation, and for world peace com bine with her Hull-House work to earn her top ranking in the field of social science and, as a sci entist, she is to be honored with a commemorative postage stamp, t The Jane Addams stamp, one of the "Famous Americans" se ries, is having its first day of sale on April 26 at the Hull-House post office, Chicago’s first sub postal station and where Miss Ad dams served as postmistress for 38 years. Golden Jubilee Celebration. This first day sale of the Jane Addams stamp opens a month long celebration of the settle ment’s golden jubilee. In that celebration, Hull-House neighbors from along Chicago’s crowded Halsted street will join with the city’s civic leaders and with many of the nation’s best-known men and women. At its climax, on May 23, members of the 18 na tionality groups the settlement now serves will hold a neighbor hood fiesta, to be followed by a national broadcast, with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York city, Gerard Swope, former pres ident of the General Electric company and new chairman of the New York Housing authority, and President Robert Maynard Hutchins of the University of Chi cago, as speakers. Thus, America will pay tribute to the country-bred girl who de voted her life and the small for tune left her by her prosperous miller-father to the alleviation of hardship and suffering and to teaching the principles of democ racy among the immigrant poor of the nation’s second largest city. Jane Addams was born on Sep tember 6, 1860, in the little vil lage of Cedarville, six miles northwest of Freeport, 111. In Sep tember, 1877, just after her seven teenth birthday she entered Rock ford seminary. In her freshman Latin class, Jane Addams met Ellen Gates Starr. Emotional Ellen, always close to laughter or to tears, and calm Jane were to be life-long friends. It was to Ellen that Jane first told her plans to find a house among Chicago’s poor and settle down to be a good neigh bor there, and it was Ellen who cried, "Why, Jeannie, how splen did! I’ll live with you. We’ll do it together.” But that was many years lat er. During her college days, Jane, a brilliant and popular stu dent, was planning to study med icine and to become a doctor and work among the poor. After her graduation she enrolled at the Woman’s Medical college in Phil adelphia. Just as she was finish ing her summer vacation and planning her trip East, her fa ther died. It was a cruel blow to Jane, but she determined to carry out her plan, so the family moved to Philadelphia. The nerv ous shock of her father’s death brought on an old illness and she spent the spring in a hos pital. Doctors recommended an ocean voyage, so Jane and Mrs. Addapns sailed for Europe, where they stayed for two years. But Jane did not visit only art galleries and ruins on her tour of Europe. In London, she went into the East End slums and watched the hungry and home less battle for rotting vegetables and fish in the Saturday night auction which disposed of food too spoiled to be saved for the Monday market. Growing deep within her was a burning desire to be of service to humanity, although she knew by now that she could not endure the rigors of a medical course. Hav ing returned to the United States, Jane set out again two years lat er for another visit to Europe. This time, she met her friend Ellen Gates Starr and they toured together. On her way home, Jane Ad dams visited Toynbee Hall, estab lished in London as a memorial to Arnold Toynbee, the Oxford tutor who had died at 31, worn out by his work for social re forms. Here came the little mil liners, the furniture polishers and clerks, and the silk weavers of East London. Young university men lived at the hall and taught them French or carpentry, mu- / sic or shorthand, boxing or litera ture. There were a library, an athletic field and a hall for par ties. The Old Hull Mansion. Jane Addams wanted the same thing for herself in the midst of the poor in an American city, and, in the spring of 1889, she went to Chicago to look for a place for her "house.” On Chi cago’s West Side, in a colorful patchwork of races — Italians, Russian and Polish Jews, Bohe mians and Irish, Scandinavians and Rumanians, Germans, Swiss, French and French Canadians— she found the old Hull mansion, at Polk and Halsted streets. A furniture factory was using the first floor for storage and the second floor was let to lodgers who thought the attic was haunt ed. Jane and Ellen rented the whole second floor and a part of the first, and set a corps of car penters, plasterers and paper- hangers to work to make it liv able. Jane spent all the savings from her income of the legacy left her by her father and Ellen donated the remains of her teach er’s salary. The night of September 14, 1889, was the first they spent in the house. There were three of them, Jane and Ellen and moth erly Mary Keyser, who came to do the housekeeping and ended by caring for half the neighbor children. Going to market, Miss Keyser invited the wives of the butcher, the baker and the sa loonkeeper to tea, and they came, first out of curiosity and again out of liking. Then the girls from the furni ture factory were supper guests and decided they would like to have a class in literature. So people began to trickle in and tell around that the young ladies treated them well. They didn’t seem to want anything out of you but just to be sociable and to give you a good time, and perhaps to teach you something. Tired mothers heard about the house and left their babies when they went to work, black-eyed girls with gold hoops in their ears shyly asked to play the piano for dancing. Soon Jane Addams and Ellen Starr were deep in the stream of neighborhood life, dressing new babies and closing the eyes of the dead. Higher Civic and Social Life. ! When this neighborhood ven ture was incorporated, some time later, the charter gave the ob jects of incorporation as follows: "To provide a center for a high er civic and social life; to in-j stitute and maintain educational; and philanthropic enterprises and to investigate and improve the conditions of the industrial dis- . tricts of Chicago." Those "objects" are put, wheth er by accident or design, in the chronological order in which theyj had appeared. It was to provide, a center for social life that the young women rented the old man sion. When within two weeks a dozen young women of the neigh borhood were invited to a “read-! ing party" in the evening and when soon afterward a kinder-[ garten was started in the draw ing room, the first "educational and philanthropic enterprises", were instituted. And before the, end of the year, the residents had begun to "investigate and im- 1 prove the conditions" in their own neighborhood. So, Hull-House grew and Jane Addams’ interest and influence grew with it in ever-widening cir cles. As she sought to help the* neighbors with their problems,! she campaigned for improved and more sanitary living condi tions for the community, and be came involved in labor legisla tion and organization. Long be fore the World war, Jane Addams firmly believed in arbitration as the settlement of difficulties be tween nations and organized the; women of the world in an effort to accomplish it. For her efforts for world peace, she shared the Nobel peace prize of 1931 with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. She was the first woman to be awarded an honorary de gree by many universities, * among them the conservative Yale. In numerous polls, she was named America’s leading wom an citizen, the nation’s "un crowned queen" and other com- plimentajy titles. In Europe, Jane Addams was even more famous than in her' home country, and, in 1935, the year of her death, the Turkish government honored her with a special postage stamp. Jane Addams died on May 21, 1935. Plans for the anniversary celebration are directed by Miss ' Charlotte Carr, now the settle ment’s resident director, who points out "It behooves us, in planning for Hull-House’s second half-century, to live up to .Miss Addams’ reputation, not on it." Physically, the Hull-House of today is a far cry from what it was that autumn day in 1889 when Jane Addams, Ellen Gates Starr and Mary Keyser took up their residence. Before the end of that first year, other like-mind ed women had joined them there. From all over the city, and soon from all over the world, men and women interested in social serv ice came to offer their help to Jane Addams. As in Toynbee Hall, these people opened classes to teach the lesser privileged. Hull-House now occupies two full city blocks, has 13 buildings and, in addition, maintains a 72- acre summer camp, out in the country north of Chicago. Dur ing last year, more than 350,000 persons attended Hull-House classes and participated in Hull- House activities. In 1939, more than 30,000 visitors came to Hull-' House from all parts of the world. Indeed, in the past 50 years, almost 2,000,000 boys and girls and their fathers and mothers have accepted Miss Addams’ in vitation to "come over and play,"' Hull-House as it looked in the year of its founding, 1889 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) O NCE upon a time a little girl from the country watched some children playing in the dirty, narrow streets that criss-crossed the “shanty town” of one of Illinois’ thriving industrial centers, whereupon she said to her father beside her in the carriage, “When I grow up I’m going to have a big house with a big yard and I’m going to ask all Speaking of Sports ‘Laughing Boy’ Most Colorful t • Links Menace By ROBERT McSHANE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) TIMMY DEMARET, "Laughing ^ Boy” of the links and champion of the masters, is the hottest thing in golf today. His victory in the recent Masters* tournament at Augusta, Ga., made him winner in 6 of the 11 major tournaments in which he played on the winter circuit. He was out of the money in only three. This in credible streak is an achievement comparable to a ball player pitch ing two consecutive no-hit, no-run games or a track star running the 100-yard dash in nine seconds. The greatest victory of these was in the Masters’. Jimmy won it the hard way. He was a sick golfer when play started in his semi-final round, and even considered with drawing from the tournament. After a half hour’s delay he went out to win. Demaret, the pride and joy of Houston, Texas, is more than a championship golfer. He’s a shot in the arm to every tournament he enters. He has ability, courage, JIMMY DEMARET calmness under fire and all the other attributes needed to win top honors. His power to relax, even while the going is toughest, con tinues to amaze onlookers and op< ponents alike. That Friendly Grin As colorful as a painting by Raphael, Jimmy has a smile of Grand canyon proportions, a tre mendous flair for making friends, and the happy-go-lucky attitude of a nigger crapshooter. He is en deared to every golfing gallery that follows him. When he cuts loose with one of those ear-to-ear grins after executing a good shot he makes a friend out of every fan within viewing distance. His golf isn’t particularly spectac ular. He doesn’t belt out terrific drives, nor does he can every putt with a wizard’s touch. He is, how ever, amazingly accurate. He hits every shot with the utmost in nat ural ease and grace. He combines the knack of relaxing with the abil ity to concentrate through 72 holes of the toughest kind of golf. Goodall Test Next His woods are played with a swing as smooth as a lullaby. He is one of the best of iron players, and is especially good around the greens. Because of his always well- oiled performance, Jimmy has been called the present day’s near est approach fo the "old masters"— Jones, Hagan and Sarazen. The 29-year-old Texas pro is ex pected to make a strong bid for the annual $5,000 Goodall round robin tournament in May at Flushing, Long Island. Fifteen top pros meet for this event, which is generally agreed to be one of the stiffest tests of the entire year. Following that will come the National Open, to be held at Cleveland in June. Jimmy is looked upon as the contender to beat for the National Open title. In other words, "Laughing Boy” is going to be very busy this sum mer. At present he is at his home club in Houston, but starting in May he’ll be hitting the tournament trail for all he’s worth. Battle Royal Seen Ben Hogan, another Texan who headquarters at White Plains, N. Y., will offer serious competition in the Goodall meet. This tournament will mark the opening of a battle be tween Demaret and Hogan for pro golf leadership. Hogan got searing hot and won the North and South and the Greensboro and Ashville opens in succession, with the excep tional score of 34 under par for 216 holes. The Flushing tourney will place the two sensational Texans on a man-to-man basis for the first time this year. They will be compelled to meet in a hand-to-hand encounter for 18 holes. Undisputed king of the winter tour, Jimmy won $7,652 to lead the money winners. Back of him, ac cording to P. G. A. figures, rank Ben Hogan with $6,538; Byron Nel son, $4,513; Craig Wood, $3,608; Lloyd Mangrum, $3,350; Sam Snead, $2,906; Lawson Little, $2,817; Clay ton Haefner, $2,706; Harold Me- Spaden, $2,501; Ralph Guldahl, $2,400; and Paul Runyan, $2,300. Demaret also leads in the Vardon trophy race with 267 points. Hogan is second with 215, followed by Wood with 141, Nelson with 133, and Snead with 113 points.
