Authorities said it would be impossi-

Miss Bayes once wrote that she was
born in Joliet, Til, 2nd other sources

Derogatory Appellation
The word “doughface” was first
| coined by John Randolph of Roanoke.
It means a person who is pliable and
yielding. Randolph applied the term
to northern politicians who trockled
to the slave-power. He branded the
Missour! compromise as “a dirty bar
gain, helped on by eighteen northern
doughfaces.” The epithet immediately
passed into Mae slang vocabulary of
politics. One authority suggests thle
possibly Randolph was Improperly
quoted and that what he really meant
wane “doe-faces,” referring to the meek:
of the doe. [It seems more prob
able, however, that In its original ap
| plication the term compared certain
| yielding politicians with the knead
able character of gough. James Rus

pain. But at's just as important to know that there is only one
genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and
on the box. If it says Bayer, it's genuine; and if it doesn't, it is
not! Headaches are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin, So are colds,
and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and
rhematism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore—
