The action can be con trolled. 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 liquid laxative will bring: a perfect movement, and with no.’ discomfort at the time, or afterward. The wrong cathartic may keep', you constipated as long as you keep on using it I An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for bothl adults and children) is svrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a1 prescription, and is perfectly safe. Its, laxative action .s based ory senna— a natural laxative, the bowels will not become dependent on this form of help, as they do in the case of cathartics containing mineral drugs. Ask your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Member N. R. A. A sermon without words is what we would label our experi ence Tuesday in the Halifax County jail. Our cure for crime would be to let everybody spend a few hours in jail. The writer went down with Coroner Billy Williams to see a prisoner. Jailer Hux let us in the main cell and then, locking the outer door, went away and left us. In fact, we think he forgot all about us because it seemed like hours before he came back and there was no way to get out. We had finished our conversa tion and while the Coroner con tinued talking with the prisoner over in a corner, we sat by a window, peered thru the bars and wished for the jailer. Then as the long minutes drag ged by, the old imagination got working. We just imagined what it would be to sit there hour after hour day after day, with nothing to do, no place to go. j Every mark on the wall became familiar. The sameness and mon otony got on the nerves. One old prisoner in a cell block was tell ing his story over and over. We heard it a half dozen times in the short time we were there. He probably told it a hundred times a day. The place was clean enough but there was an odor about it that gradually got the best of you. It is an odor that can’t be helped; a half dozen toilets, latrines and wash basins in a building with dozens of men evolves an odor that no amount of disinfectant can kill. And even the best of disinfectants smell none to good or are too sick emng. It was a great feeling when Jailer Hux hove into view and let us out in the fresh air and clean sunlight, where we could go where we pleased and do just about what we wanted to, as long as it was in reason. Yes sir, if you want to cut down crime just let everybody spend a few hours in a jail house with the old imagination set loose. It may not be a sure cure but it would help a lot. One hour was enough for us. AN HOUR IN JAIL A CURE FOR CRIME HALIFAX Messrs. W. L. Johnson and Fen ner Satterthwaite made a busi ness trip to Charleston, S. C., Tuesday, November 21.
