LIKE RABBITS

By HAROLD PEMBERTON,

Gibraltar, September 20,

IN my despatches from Seville I have given you at accurately as possible news of atrocities practised by Communists and others against Fascists and Monarchists. But owing to the rigid censorship the reporters, now in Seville can give only one side of the picture-that which is favourable to the rebel cause.

Occasionally, at some considerable risk, it is possible to smuggle news by way of Gibraltar, but the occupants of cars going from Seville to Gibraltar are searched and any leakage of news is regarded as an act of espionage.

What are the rebels trying to hide from the outside world? They are trying to hide the daily killings which | take place as the rebel army marches towards Madrid, ́

Tokyo, Sept. 25.

As war tension heightens in the For East, "National Defence First" has become more than a slogan throughout the length and breadth of Japan.

Only recently, a Tokyo paper published a photograph of a group of abbots, wearing robes and carrying guns on their shoulders. The photograph was taken wher these monks were participating in a military drill.

Also arousing interest in Tokyo were the reports in local papers that during a recent onll-wir manoeuvre, all inmates of the houses of 11- fame were summoned out to the

If your child is under eleven-be careful what laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa- tive-a child's laxative.

For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause film griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.

But such things need not be. For there is one laxa- tive that is perfect for children... Custorial Castoria is made especially for children-from babybood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con. fidence. Castoria is gentle-yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!

In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti- pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.”

Get a bottle of Castoria today. Bo ready for the little upsets that come to every child. Give Castoria-the laxa tive that is made especially for children.
