IGAB
PESETES
By Alan Browning, Jr.
THE CAMPAIGN
You'll notice, perhaps, as soon as you finish reading this
,column that The Tribune is this week announcing with great
gusto a circulation campaign in which it will pay to deserving
brothers and sisters over $1,300 in hard cash!
The first prize will be S6OO in a lump sum; the second $400;
the third $l5O and so. on down the line. Which, you must admit,
will be mighty nice for those who hustle the fastest and win.
However, the Gab Bag shal
directors of this column, consisl
Oswald H. Gumbersnitz, and Osci
heading), have decided to award ad-'
ditional prizes to those who come
out ahead in this campaign.
•After an all night meeting, in
which Simpson snored mightily and
Oscar the rat started to nibble on
the writer with the idea that he is
a big piece of cheese, the following
prizes were decided upon:
To first prize winner will be
awarded a new tack. This tack is
to be used for sitting upon. Thus,
when anyone tells the winner to go
sit on a tack, it will not be neces
sary for that person to go to a lot
of trouble hunting for a tack. He
or she will have the prize tack in
stantly available.
Second prize will consist of Klon
dike Lake. Thus the winner will
have every right to "go jump in the
lake."
Third prize caused the board of
directors a lot of trouble. We had
a hard time deciding on what to
give. But after much thought we
decided upon a "protector" from
false teeth. With this "protector"
Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And tlje public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can
regulated to suit individual neecT 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 dose of a liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
It gently helps the average person's
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. It makes an ideal family laxa
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

foot comes off.
NEEDED: STOP LIGHTS
As soon as street markers are in
stalled here, the Gab Bag is going
to launch another of its famous and
absolutely resultless campaigns. This
time it will campaign with its usual
ineffectiveness for stop and go traf
fic lights.
The intersection which cries the
loudest for one of these lights is the
one at the north end of the new
bridge. It is probable there would
have been no death there last Wed
nesday morning had such a safe
guard been installed when the Mar
ket street extension was opened.
As a result of this negligence in
safety, we have a widow, and nine
children left fatherless.
Would the cost of a traffic signal
be too dear an effort to make to
avoid further tragedies there?

AT RANDOM
Mr. Spradlin came pretty near
embarrassing somebody several
weeks ago ... We've got a fine
horse trading yarn put away for fu
ture reference . . . What with being
accused of spreading rumors it be
gins to look as if we'll have to spill
it . . . Still, we wouldn't want to
say that Mr. Griffeth, down at Pen
ney's, traded for a balky horse after
telling the man with whom he traded
that "I'm an old horse trader." . . .
According to what we hear, Mr.
Griffeth'6 new horse wouldn't even
move with a fire under him, but as
we said before, we're not going to
tell about that yet on account of we
have some slight idea ourself of how
it feels to be kidded . . ,
It's reliably reported that after
the horse trade Mr. Griffeth still
had his shirt.
From what we can gather, Lee
Snow has captured a 'possum that's
so big he had to enlarge a cow stall
to keep it in . . , He was afraid to
put it in the barn with his cows
for fear it would step on some of
them . . , It's also reported by Will
Holcomb, a man of unquestioned in
tegrity (?) that Mr. Snow is fat
tening this 'possum for a wedding
feast . . . Reports are that Jack
Smoot, chief cook and plate dropper
down at Abernethy's, has to do all
the cooking at home since taking
unto himself a wife . . . Sort of a
"from behind the lunch counter in
to the kitchenette" affair . . . Well,
we always figured Jack would find
his real calling some day , . . Speak
ing of Will Holcomb, we hear he had
his picture taken the other Sunday.
Two exposures with his hat on and
one with it off . . . it's said the
photographer made him keep the
hat on so it would cover part of his
face. In that way he protected his
camera . . . When the pictures were
developed, one resembled Mae West
and the other two didn't resemble
anything—not even Mr. Holcomb .. .

Nurses in a Cincinnati hospital—or
so we heard. Goodness knows this
weekly drivel needs some nursing.

Looks like we're going to be in the
market for some extra soft soft soap.
Libby Holman Reynolds' baby son,
Christopher, the latter part of last
week laid claim to the entire $25,-
000.000 slice of the Reynolds tobac
co fortune which was held in trust
for his father, Smith Reynolds.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA

ness, regarded as NRA's most urgent
need, was presaged last week in the

ment office for handling recovery
