The Women's Christian Temperance Union and other Dry organizations have launched their most intensive campaign since the one that put over the Eighteenth amendment during the last war.

Page 8 , Covering The Waterfront By AYCOCK BROWN I THINK THE biggest trouble with the world today is thai people are not taking enough castor oil. Most of us were literally raised on the repulsive stuff, but if we look back, most of us will Agree that our temperaments were much tetter in the old days than during this era. All of this occurred to me last week when I was drydoeked with the flu The first day my temperature dan ced around 102 degrees and on the second day it was not doing much better. The first day with a stomach full of popular brand pres ent day laxatives, I was getting what one would perhaps term as "no results." The second day it was the same story and by that time my head was swimming and I felt about as lifeless as a drowned cat. WHEN I TOLD Dr. Moore about it he said: "Take a big dose of castor oil!" I did not like the idea especially hut took the big dose just the same. The big dose was two ounces. I thought the stuff should be mixed with root beer, but at David's suggestion I mixed it with Orange juice and added soda. When I got ready to gulp it down it was foaming and filled more than half of an ice-tea glass.
