Laxative for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc,
are usually violent p~urgatives or
~cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only
a mild axative-in fact, none other Is
needed by anyone. weak OF strong though
they may be, for the object Is simply to
nov the bowels, and II a gentle laxative
will do 1t, what Is the use OF a violent
one?
DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsln has earned
a well-deserved vogue among women and
children and old fOlks-people who must
necessarily be careful Of what they take.
1t is a liquid laxative tonic and ad-
mittedly the greatest stomach, liver and
bowel remedy before the American people.
The price is only so cents or 81 a bottle,
as II comes in both sizes. and all drug
gists sell II. Its pleasant taste and gentle
action make IL an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. Its use for a
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication will be
unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this

Navy Department ReOrganiza-
ton.

hOAs
Since the new plan for the re-
organization of the admmistra-
ton of the navy is described by
its sponsors as tentative, they
evidently expect that experience
will suggest some notifications.
This being the case, we have no
wish to indulge in what might 4
seem to be eaptious criticism
for we believe that the Secretary
has given his Endorsement to the
present plan only after a very ser
ious consideration of its utility.
Furthermore, we have personal
reasons for believing that many
of the naval officials who have
taken an active part in the recent
criticisms and discussions are
weary of the p%rOtracted contro-
versy and are anxious to well
come any plan which gives prom
Use of harmonious and economical
administration. I
Surely, if special boards have
done anything to solve the prob
lem we ought by this time to
have reached a clear road. The
Sperry board, the Leutze board,
and lastly the Swift board werq
appointed, made their investiga
lions, and duly reported to th
Secretary. The present schem
may, therefore, be taken to repre-
sent the combined wisdom of the
many selected experts who have
passed upon the subject.
On n point, however, we do
doubt most strongly the wisdom
