POISON
in Your bov/els!
Poisons absorbed into the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harm¬
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in youMeelings over night
will prove its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make his
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That’s why “Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin,” as it is called, is the
most popular laxative drugstores sell,

PLAN FIRST STUDY
OF HEART DISEASE
Public Health Service Is to
Make Survey.
Washington. — The public health
lervice Is planning to undertake its
first study of heart disease in the Unit¬
ed States. Working with a special
fund of $10,000, its experts will explore
die field as thoroughly as they can. to
learn why the malady is the greatest
single cause of death among adults.
The survey, which will be started at
the beginning of the fiscal year, July
1, will probably require five years to
tomplete.
Heart disease claims each year an
Increasing number of victims. In the
United States registration area the af¬
fliction caused 1,82.1 deaths per 100,000
jf population in 1900. By 1910 the
rate had jumped to 158.8; in 1920 it.
was 159.3 ,and in 1929 it had gone up
,o 210.9. In 1927. heart disease
counted for 211,970 deaths; in 1928 the
figure was 237,849, and in 1929 it rose
to 245,244.
That is why the public health serv¬
ice, in deciding to conduct a survey
of the diseases which are the princi¬
pal causes of death among adults, has
aaturally selected heart disease for its
initial investigation. Maladies of the
heart are not sectional, nor apparently
are they confined to any particular!
{roup In the population. If it is found,
that there are any means or reducing!
the toll, the gain will be shared almost 1
equally by all parts of the country.
Health Improvement. %
In undertaking a campaign against
the principal hazards to health many?
years ago, the organization, now head-f
ed by Surgeon General Hugh S. Gum¬
ming, devoted its efforts at first main¬
ly to improving the standards of sani
tatlon. Emphasis was placed on pure
ivater, pure milk and the elimination
ot the conditions which caused typhoid
fever, yellow fever and otiier diseases!
io he almost endemic in many of our,
larger cities. The country was quick
to respond to the leadership of th®
public health service and other agentt
lies in the same field, with the result*
ihat today the standards of sanitation^
ire infinitely higher titan they were
JO years ago. Next, the public health
service directed its weapons against
fllseases of childhood and made a drive
to reduce the very high maternity*
death rate. It has now been engaged
for some years in work along thes4§
lines, and the expectancy of life has*
steadily increased for children, Adultsjf
however, have not gained correspond-*
tngly.
To Cover Four Subjects.
Realizing that it is now ttie. turn of#
the adult population, the public health
lervice proposes to take up immediate
y heart disease, whose victims number
io many thousands of men and worn
pn cut down in the prime of life. The
field of investigation, ns now charted,
will cover four subjects, the first of
which concerns ihe effect of certain
infectious diseases on the heart. A re¬
lationship Is known to exist between
rheumatism and scarlet fever on the
me side and the heart on tiie other,
nut medical science has still many
lark corners to explore.
Light will be sought regarding the
effect of toxic agencies, such as lead
and alcohol poisoning, on the heart.
Medical men agree that such poisons
flo have an effect of this sort, but there
Is need to determine precisely whether
they permanently injure the heart and
whether remedies- can be found.
As a third channel of exploration,
the public health service will try to
ascertain the relationship between
overexertion and deterioration of the
heart. If competitive sport tends to
Injure the heart, is this more true of
certain sports than of others? Which
involves the greater strain, football or
rowing? These and related questions
press for an answer.
Finally, ttie public health investiga¬
tors hope to find out whether heart
disease can be Inherited,

Between 1,200 and 1,300 miles of
track are renewed annually.
Nearly 210,000 tons of rails, 4,500
000 ties and 2,000,000 tons of ballast
are required in this work. Most of
tiie relaying work is done at night and
over the week-end, to avoid interfer¬

COLLEGE ROMANCES
ARE MOST LASTING
Campus Best Spot to Make
Happy Marriage.
New York—The college campus is,
and is £iy long odds, the best spot
in American life for the making of a
happy and lasting marriage. While
the general divorce rate has increased
until now there is one divorce to every
six marriages, the record of marriages
resulting from college romances show
only one divorce among every 75
couples.
These figures, compiled by Rita 8.
Halle in a survey of 100 eo-educationa!
colleges, are published in the Good
Housekeeping Magazine.
Miss Halle finds several reasons
why marriages that follow college
courtships have eight times the
chances of happiness that others have.
One is that college graduates marry
at a later age than the average.
“Since a great many divorces are
granted to those who have married
before their twenties, or in their early
twenties, it is possible that the elimi¬
nation of this group accounts for
some of the difference,” she says.
A second, and more important, rea¬
son is that college boys and girls
have equal advantages and have come
to regard each other as intellectual
equals. The result is that after the
first romantic period of marriage has
passed they have intellectual com¬
panionships to fall back upon and are
not so likely to bore each other as
tlie - v ^ were ° n different
intellectual planes.
Most important, probably, is the
fact that the college boy and gir!
have the opportunity to judge each
other under many conditions and over
a long period.
“The usual co educational courtship
Is carried on over a period of years."
the Good Housekeeping writer points
out, “and at a time when boys and
girls are keen in observation and tre¬
mendously critical, which is impor¬
tant when choosing a life partner.
During that time they have oppor¬
tunity to see each other under all
conditions, in the class room and on
the athletic field, in the fraternity
house and the social hall, under con¬
ditions of stress as well as under
happier conditions. A girl is given
the opportunity to know that the so¬
cially attractive boy may he only that,
while others that do not shine so¬
cially have the real qualities that
make for stability in marriage and in
life. The young man, too, has had
time to see beneath the surface pretti¬
ness that lias caught his eye.”
Americans Add to Their
Investments in Canada
Montreal* Be Q.—Investments of
American capital in Canada have in¬
creased at the rate of $1,600,000 a year
in the last eleven years, according to a
bulletin issued here by the department
of immigration and colonization of the
Canadian Pacific railway.
"More than $1,669,000,000 in capital
from the United States lias been in¬
vested in commercial enterprises in tiie
Dominion in the last eleven years,”
says the bulletin. “Total American
Investments In the Dominion amount
to more than $8,889,075,130. or 61 per
cent of all the capital from other
countries invested in Canada.
“Compared to the pre-war totals ol
1913. tiie investment of American cap¬
ital in Canada has practically trebled,
whereas that of Grent Britain lias de¬
clined about 50 per cent.”

Keeping Jobless Busy

Originally two mornings a week

BACKWOODS BRIDE
TO HELP OWN KIND
Mrs. “Bud” Stillman Plans
Work Among Poor.
MontpeaL—Another Interesting chap¬
ter in the International romance of
James A. (Bud) Stillman, Jr., and his
Canadian wife, formerly Lena Wilson
of Grand Anse, Quebec, has been writ¬
ten with a definite announcement by
the latter that she plans to become
her husband's classmate at Harvard
university and to study medicine with
him.
Mrs. Stillman, who until her mar¬
riage three years ago was a typical
and picturesque child of the Quebec
backwoods, is animated partly with a
desire to occupy her leisure time, but
more by a desire to aid and encourage
her husband in his profession and to
bring medical assistance to the friends
of her childhood days.
Sees Bright Future.
After they graduate and are qual¬
ified to practice medicine, they will
probably settle in Quebec, near Lena’s
former home in Grand Anse for. as
she declares, "by the time we are
ready, there will be a remarkable
opening and opportunity for a young
couple, properly equipped, to serve
mankind in that region.
"My husband intends to specialize
In children’s diseases and I can see a
wonderful” opportunity to be of help.
If I have the proper training and ex¬
perience.”
Her youthful husband declares that
he is bent on making a success in his
medical studies, and, later, in special¬
izing on children’s disease.
“Of course," he admits, “many peo¬
ple think 1 don’t have to worry be¬
cause of the money that is reported to
be at my disposal. But the financial
aspect does not make a particle of ;
difference to me. I am going at my
studies and my career just as though
I hadn't a cent and had to earn a liv¬
ing for Lena and myself."
Now in Third Year.
Bud is now in his third year at the
medical school, but this is the first in
which he will get any actua! hospital
work. Included in his experience will ;
be a tour of duty at the children’s
hospital wiiere he hopes to start his
concentration on tiie subject of cliil- !
dren's diseases.
The Stillman-Wilson wedding at |
Grand Anse three years ago was one
of the most picturesque international ;
romances of the present century, and j
Its new value was not minimized
when Mrs. Anne Stillman, mother of
the bridegroom, climaxed tiie cere- i
mony by bombarding photographers
with dinner plates, in true movie-com¬
edy style.
Mrs. Stillman. Sr., also figured in
the limelight when she remarried !
Bud’s father, from whom she h»<l
been divorced, after a sensational
court hearing a few years before.
