Carefully going over the results of ‘the summer's _investigations, Chairman George W. Wickersham held to his practice of sercet com- mission sessions and to his policy of silence on matters of discussion un- til the commissjon has acted. But one of the reports before Mr. Wickersham has drawn his ire. This is the report on “lawless acts f |government officials” and after reading it, the commission chairman asserted: “A basic difficulty with much of the administration of jus- tice lies in the use of political in- | fluence, not only in the selection of prosecutors, court officfals and judges, but in the performance of their duties.” That was just one of several prob- lems Mr. Wickersham took up with the commission. There were cvidences that as a result of demands, made in con- |gress last session. that prohibition | was going to be a topic of major {importance within the commission. Wants Statement | It is the view of Mr. MackIntosh, |who has been classified in his state’ |as & dry. that the commission should state its position directly on the prohibition controversy. Mr. Wickersham's latest expres- |sion along that line was that a bal- |anced inquiry into law enforcement |“would consider prohibition as one {only of a number of elements to be | studied.” | Some of the subjects touched {upon in the other reports before the commission today are: Juvenile de- {linquency, ~ operation of federal courts, causes and treatment of lerime, lawless acts of government |officials, cost of crime, criminal jus- |tice and the foreign born, and po- | lice. Professor Chaffee of Harvard and , Walter Pollak and Carl Stern af the New York bar, compiled data fer he commission on the subject of “lawless acts of government offi- cials.” On this work |has commented: “There is much evidence of law- less conduct among a certain class lof law officers; ‘third degree’ as | practiced by the police; the conduct |of the immigration authorities to- | ward aliens, etc.: lawless acts of prosecuting attorneys; illegal search |and selzures all furnish examples.

Now-a-days mothers know the im- portance of keeping children regular and cleaned out inside. They know how often cross, irritable children re- gain happy dispositions, healthy ap- petites when constipation is correct- ed. And mothers evervwhere are de- lighted with the way their children respond to Feen-a-mint, the modern chewing gum laxative. Children love the fresh mint flavor | of Feen-a-mint which never has fo| be forced down unwilling throats as do old-fashioned cathartics. Doctors recommend it for its mild, yet thor- ough action for Feen-a-mint works on the important principle of uni- form internal distribution. Because children chew mint, it is effective in milder doses than ordinary laxatives. For the ef- fectiveness of a laxative is not 6o much dependent upon the quantit swallowed as upon the thoroughness of its distribution throughout the alimentary tract. While children chew Feen-a-mint the laxative it contains is gradually released and mixed with the saliva, Thus it is carried to the intestinal tract smoothly, _evenly, without shock to the system or the distress- To New Treatment Feen-a- | GINNS TREASURER OF SCHOOL GIFTS Will Accept Money Confributed by Teachers for Relief Principal James H. Ginns of the Junior High school shops today was appointed by fellow principals as treasurer of the money being col- lected Wmong teachers of the New Britain school system for the Christ- mas fund. The plan is being spon- sored by Mayor George A. Quigley for relief of the needy during the winter months. The teachers’ council after obtain- ing the views of teachers last week voted not to adopt the mayor's plan which provided for a contribution of two per cent of their salaries dur- ing September, October and Novem- ber. Instead they will contribute any sum they wish. The reason they did not accept the mayor’s plan was because theéy did not believe it was voluntary giving. Under the arrangement decided upon ‘today the teachers will give their contributions to the principals of the respective schools and the principals will-turn the amount over to Mr. Ginns. He will then trans- fer the fund to Curtiss L. Sheldon, city treasurer. Collections will be- gin immediately and will be con- cluded on November 26 when the teachers leave for Thanksgiving va- cations.

Each par- ticle of the laxative in Feen-a-mint works with utmost efficiency, gently encouraging the intestinal muscles to resume the activity so necessary for_healthful elimination. The action of Feen-a-mint fs thorough, gentle, dependable. With { the proper dosage it is not necessary to increase the amount one time or decrease it the next.
