Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can he
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit: you need not take a
“double dose” a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average person’s
bowels back to regularity. Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which al! druggists
keep ready for use. It makes an
ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. R. A.
ries the executive order of the presi
dent, announcing the
ance of the 15 per cent
through June 30, 1934. Along with
this order is printed instructions from
the comptroller’s office regarding
what branches of the postal service
are affected thereby, and which we
publish herewith:
• "Bureau of accountants,
“Washington, Jan. 11, 1934.
“The executive order issued Jan. 9,
1934, extends the 15 per cent deduc
tion from the compensation of all of
ficers and employes of the governmeni
which includes all postmasters ard
all other postal employes to include
the period from Jan. 1 to June 30,
1934, both dates inclusive.
“The examination of postmaster’s
accounts shows that they are not
making correct deductions in all cases
and attention is invited to the fact
that this reduction applies to pay
ments to janitors, to fees paid to
special delivery messengers, to pay
ments under allowances granted for
unusual conditions; to all payments
under allowances for clerk hire and
for separating mails at third and
fourth class post office, to the com

Question 43. Why is the allotment
for a farm based on 40, percent of its
average production for the base per
iod?
Answer: Because the domestic al
lotment for the United States is- es
timated to be 40 per .cert of the ave
rage production during the 5 year
base period. This means that abcut 40
per cent of the production during the
base period was consumed in the
United States, and it is upon the do
mestic consumption of about 40 per
cent of production that the process
ing tax is to be collected for making
rental an f ; parity payments. Ea-ch
state will be allowed an allotment of
40 per cert of its five year average
production. Each producer will in
turn share in the state allotment ac
cording to the average production of
the lard now in the farm for the base
period.
Question 44. Should producers be
allowed allotments greater than their
proportionate share?
Answer: No. If this were to happen
the allotment ard parity payments of
other producers would be reduced ac
cordingly. The total allotment is .4
“Pool of past production.” Supposing
10 producers had stored all of the
cotton they produced for 5 years iri a
warehouse. At the end of that period
each one w.ould be entitled to his share
of the total. If one of them put in 100
bales he could not draw out 110 bales
without taking a part of what be
longed to the others.
Question 45. If the producer has
operated his farm for less than the
base period, will the farm allotment
be based on his cotton acreage and
production- during the time he has
operated the farm ? 1
Answer: No. The farm allotment
will be based ,on the acreage and pro
duction on- the land now in the farm
for the base period, no matter who
operated it.
Question 46. Will the required re
duction in cotton acreage be based
upon the number of acres planted or
the number harvested?
Answer: Upon the number of acres
planted and in cultivation on July 1
each year of the base period.
Question 47. If the producer had a
partial or complete crop failure dur
ing one or more of the years in the
base period, will his farm allotment
be affected ?
Answer: Yes; because his average
pr.odu. tion will be lower.
Question 48. If a part of the farm
is sold or has part disposed of in any
other way during the term of the con
tract, how will the farm allotment be
divided ?
Answer: In proportion to the cul
tivated area suitable for cotton on
each part as the secretary of sgricul
ture or his authorized agent may de
termine.
Question 49. Can a producer who
is operating two or more separate
tracts of land include them all under
