Millions of Families Depend on Dr.CaldwelPs Prescription When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1875. the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain. wholesome food, and, got plenty i of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Cald well did not believe were good for human beings to put into tboir systems. So he wrote a prescrlp-. tlon for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipa tion that he used early in nis prac tice. and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name Of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a Mquid vegetable remedy. Intended for women. Children and elderly jeople, and they need Just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. . Under v successful management this prescription has proven Its worth and Is now the largest sell 'ng liquid laxative In the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves that It has won the confidence ot people who needed it to get relief from head aches, biliousness, flatulence In digestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, olds and tevers.i--p --: I 1 The New -A 1 I 5 Gym Fund to Grow All of which is explanatory to the announcement that on the evening of March 4, at the Crys tal Garden, the police and fire men's ball will be held, with the public Invited to patronize the af fair to help swell the fund for the gymnasium.

P READ THIS FIRST: Btty Brown has danced for amuse ment befor th death of her parents, and for a Urine afterwards. Her car eer starts with a local theatrical man ager, who became too familiar, and moires to a moving- picture house, where a traveling dancer tries to get her for a partner on terms which Betty cannot agree, Andy Adair and two other local boys are her play compan ions, and George Harris, a eerloas mlnded boy next door, who disapproves of her dancing, her most dependable friend. Andy Adair finds her a posi tion as dancer In a night club after a jealous woman performer had forced her out of the show at the moving picture house. CHAPTER XXV BETTY went to the Iron Door before six o'clock the first night of her engagement. A waiter showed her the narrow stairs which led from an unused part of the kitchen to the dress ing rooms above. At the head of the stairs was only one door, and on this she knocked timidly. "Come in," called a man's voice. She pushed open the door, and saw a sad-faced man in a clown's costume .before a mirror, adjusting a bulbous nose he was building onto his own. She saw him watching her in the mirror. "Where are the ladles' dressing rooms?" she asked. "No 's' on it." He hooked his thumb over his shoulder to an other door, which led from this room to the next. As she stepped across to open it he asked: "New here?" "Yes. I'm getting a try-out to night." "If you know what's good for you, you will flop." He spoke sad ly. He turned to her as he spoke, and his expression was so deject ed that she laughed. "Why?" she asked. "Any night club is a rotten place to work. No stage, no light ing effects, audience all around you like the fire around the boy who stood on the burning deck audience clattering knives and bolting food, late show, everybody tight.'.' "A rather sad picture." Another girl came in and cross ed the room to enter the ladies' dressing room. "A new girl," the ?lown Introduced Betty sadly. "Come ff," said the girl. "There is the mirror where Hortense made up. I guess you are taking her place. Get dressed early before the rush like I do. What do you io?" "I am a dancer." "I might have known it. That' -what they all say, and what mighty few of 'em do. I was train id as an opera singer, yet here 1 am, singing jazz and stepplnc around like a rheumatic hen on a hot griddle, pretending I can lance. If you really can dance I'll :et square with you when they nake you try to sing!" The girl undressed as she spoke nd. clad In a single revealing gar ment, calmly made up before tlu nirror. Betty saw there was no ;uch thing as privacy In the room ind went hastily to work to make up and get Into her first costumf efore the others arrived. It was her prettiest and most revealink costume. She was pleased with the "good scenery" from the other Sirl. Dressing room gossip informed Betty the Iron Door had been 'turning them away" and a pony ;horus was added to the show for :he first time tonight. There had been many rehearsals, and the :tars were pleased to have the chorus as their background. "Are you decent in there?" ask ed a man's voice at the door. It 3cemed to be a warning rather than a question, for several girls draped themselves with towels as a young man In a dinner coat came into the room. "Where's Brown?" WAXTS MORE SALARY A bill by Senator Joe Dunne would increase the salary of the state Insurance commissioner from 13600 to $4800 a year. This is snp of more than a half dozen salary bills introduced in the ln ere8t of state officials during the current legislative session. genuine ier MM Convenient Dime Saver- with each new Savings olecount GET YOURS TODAtf DorA let. your dime slip through your fingers, put them into one of these handy dime savers and watch them grow into dollars. :oo sserv will of mm scfmnt . $2.00 or more will open an account. - Oregon, Thursday Morning, By ROE, rULKERSON "I am she." "Oooo, la, la. A Vassar gal, on my word!" he jeered good natur edly. "All right, Vassar. You come on after I sing my Mint Julep La ment. If you are still here tomor row night I'll tell you what else to do." When the girls finished dress- '"What did he say?" Inc. ther went down stairs to th unused part of the kitchen, where a swinging door admitted .them to the empty square of dining room floor which was used for the -show and for dancing by the din ers afterwards. The young man in the dinner coat lined up the chorus girls and, at their head, began to mark time as the orchestra broke Into the opening chorus. "Now, Every head up! Smile, darn you, smile! Turn, turn, turn! Come on!" They danced into the dining mom Hp hecan the rjonular ODen- insr sons. When he finished his sad lament about the departed mint Julep, Betty heard the pre h'dfi to her dance. She ran out on the floor with her best business 3mtle. The dining room was well filled, and she was surprised to hear a hearty clapping of hands. She did her acrobatic number, fol lowed un with a soft shoe dance. and was well repaid by a burst of approval. She tooK dow alter bow. As the applause continued, the orchestra played her music again, i lie ) uuug uinu wim dinner lacket led her back, saying to the audience, "Miss Vassar will dance again in a few minutes.' Rettv watched the pony ballet do its next number, and then went to the dressing room. As she open ed the door she heard a girl say: "Yeah, It was Andy Adair, and a gang of college Johns. She's his woman, I guess. Well, he's got the jack." Betty's imoulse was to resen. the remark, but when she came In to the room the same voice said. "You got 'em. kid! Wait till the tanks null In for the last show. The sinner crowd is easier than the dinner crowd." "Thank vou very much." Betty- was tight-lipped to keep from let ting them know she had over heard. As they went on dressing Betty tried to be -crafty. "I saw Mr. Adair, one of my old schoolmates. In the dining room." There was a moment's silence. The girl who had spoken before said. "How wonderful your eyes mist he! It is so difficult to Sec people at the tables when the spot- I 5V - - oil tV 1 - 4 ?m V- J limnmiWMi. ii in ii i i i i ii in,, in Bffniiiim, iw .in, a'-nniitiiiwiwr ji February U, 1929 IT T . D A light is on you!" They both laugh ed good humoredly. Betty bit her Up at what she realized was an error. These so phisticated girls were 'not fooled She had only made a bad matter worse. "Really. Andy and I were In the same class at school." she asked anxiously. "Andyand I have nursed out of the same bottle of gin!" agreed one of them. "Listen, Vassar, don't try to pull things In the dressing room. If Andy is your sweet papa, whose business is it but yours? There isn't a girl here who hasn't at least one." Realizing how helpless she was to make them understand, and that they intended no unkindness. there was nothing for Betty to do but laugh and run down stairs with them. Again she got a round of ap plause before she had danced a step. She located the source at one side of the room, and smiled In that direction, but the spotlight In her eyes was so strong that she could not make out a single face. The applause spread from this table to the rest of the dining room, however, and she was glad that Andy had come to help her on her first night. Her second dance was well re ceived. She rushed out on the flood with the others for the fi nale. She improvised some dance 3teps to the music the orchestra was playing, and followed the 3ong they sang-to the best of her ability.

Just as she finished a wait er rapped on the door, calling "Miss Brown, Miss Brown," and then shoved his hand through the door with a note. Betty took it and looked around a bit helplessly. It was a scrawl from Andy, asking her to Join him at his table as soon as she was dressed. "What is iti kid?" asked thH girl who had suggested she was Andy's woman. "Mr. Adair sent me a note ask ng me to come to his table. Is It all right?" "It's very much all right! Bill likes you better the jnore, of them that ask for you. Order an ice or something." People were dancing when Betty reached the dining room. She slipped around the edge of th dance floor to Andy and two oth er men. He made a place for her introducing the others. "Betty, Bill passed here Just now. He said a lot, for him. He gets mighty talkative when he sees a great artist." "What did he say?" she asked anxiously. "It was just one word.
