Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, with
Ease for Stomach, too
When constipation brings on acid in-
digestion, stomach upset, bloating, dizzy
spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste and
bad breath, your stomach is probably
crying the blues" because your bowels
don t move. It calls for Laxative-Senna
to pull the trigger on those lazv bowels,
combined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect
case to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicinemoreagrecabletoa touchy stom-
ach. So be sure your laxative contains
Synip Pepsin. Insist on Dr Caldwell's
I axati vc Senna combined with Synip Pep-
sin. See how wonderfully the Laxative
Senna wakes up lazy nerves and muscles
in your intestines to bring welcome relic!
from constipation. And the good old
Syrup Pepsin makes this laxative sc com
fort able and easy on your stomach. Even
finicky children love the taste of this
pleasant family laxative. Buy Dr Cald-
well's Laxative Senna at your druggist
today. Try one laxative combined with
Syrup Pepsin for ease to yourstomach, too. |

executives who are eager to be of help
to their government in an emergency
has just been given by the department
of justice.
There's an emergency situation with
respect to oil on the west coast.
Fuel is needed in greater quantities
than heretofore to supply a fleet at
war. Tonnage for coastwise transpor-
tation is limited. Into the emergency
steps the oil industry representatives
on the west coast and Ralph Davies,
deputy petroleum administrator. A
plan is evolved to meet the emerg-
ency. But just as American oil men
who tried to save a "distress gaso-
line situation once before found
themselves convicted in federal court
by technicalities under the anti-trust
laws, another group of oil men sees
the same wobbling sword held over
their heads today in the midst of war
***
THURMAN ARNOLD, assistant at-
I torney general, who seems to have
as much if not more power over pro-
duction than Donald Nelson wherever
the anti-trust laws are involved, has
consented to look the other way while
the law is being violated. He promises
not to prosecute now but at any mo-
ment he wants to change his mind
he can bring the oil men into court
and punish them for doing what they
had believed was their patriotic duty
The oil men relied on the good faith
of government officials once before
in an emergency but the government
officials didn't have the moral cour-
age to go to court and testify in be-
half of the oil executives, and they
were convicted In the face of such a
record, other oil men are taking risks
in participating in a plan which is
officially termed to be outside the so-
called immunity assurances given in
the famous correspondence in April.
1941, between the department of jus- l
tice and John Lord O'Brian, chief 1
counsel for OPM. which has been
the basis of all similar immunities
in other industries since that time.

Anti-Trust
Laws Called
War Handicap
By DAVID LAWRENCE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Lots of
talk has been heard recently to
the effect that the automobile in-
dustry should have curetailed its pro-!
duction and turned its facilties over
to defense work in 1941. Those who
make such comments will be in-
terested to learn it is impossible for
any industry to curtail production un-
less the executives therein want to
go to jail.
A specific example of how the anti-
trust laws operate to impede national:
defense by spreading fear of punish-
ment among the very industrial j
apparently intended to support the
operations of Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur against the Japanese on
Batan peninsula. between Manila bay !
and the South China sea. At the up-
per end and on the seaward side of
the peninsula lies Subic bay. The
attack occurred in Binanga bay.
which lies to the seaward side of the
upper end of the peninsula.

THE 200 employes of the stale work
projects administration had an
excellent lesson Tuesday in what not
to do during an air raid alarm, as
the ancient courthouse building used
as state headquarters was emptied in
record time due to a slight misunder-
standing.
Employes were very defense con-
scious as the result of a series of
department meetings this week ap-
pointing air raid wardens for the
building.
Preparations were under way to
give instructions as to what to do in
case of an alarm.
As a result of all this activity, the
banging of the fire alarm bell
throughout the building brought only
one reaction ... the bombers were
here.
As a result, everybody from execu-
tives to janitors lit out for the court-
house lawn at the first clang of the
bell, and shivered in the breeze while
waiting for the building to fall.
CPME of the folks remembered steps
Din the old fire drill they had been
given and others adopted the well-
known philosophy that if you can't
run, neighbor, move over and let
someone who can.
Finally, when nothing happened,
officials began to venture back for
an investigation One of them was
stopped by A, P. Embree, a guard, who
stated
"I'm afraid this is all a mistake
