School Bus Patrons Fight New Ruling “Strikes” against the law or ruling that children living within two miles of a school building will not be hauled in by the buss es are reported from several sec tions, parents within the two mile limit refusing to send their children to school. The State School Commission interprets the school law as pro hibiting hauling children that near. Others contend it is not the law, but a commission ruling to help hold down costs. Busses are re quired to go within a mile and a half of residences of patrons, many walking that distance or less to get to the bus route. The point is made that many of the parents kicking at the regu lation boast even that they walk ed four or five miles for all of the “Schoolin’’ they got when they were children. The statement is made that the objections are to probably the least important of the new school regulations. MRS. EDMONDSON HOSTESS Mrs. Lester Edmondson was hostess on Tuesday evening. When the scores were collected at the close of six progressions, Mrs. George Lampley was found to hold high score and was awarded a lovely bowl.

People have learned that the properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is the best laxative for every body. Senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathartics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It has the average person’s bowels as regular as clockwork in a few weeks’ time. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready for use. Member N. R. A.
