This Free Remedy
Helps SickIy Babies

Babies and children suffer mostly
from the stomach. There is something
wrong with the milk or with the eggs
OF with the minor articles of food, for
1t doesn't take much t, disturb child's
stomach. One thing the mother can
always be sure of and that is that no
harm can come from giving a small
dose of mild laxative, for it is sure
TO be better off for it. You know your
own feeling of lightness and ease when
that function has been performed, so
how much more important is it to the
child?
Watch carefully that your child does
not become constipated. for n Il does
not have at least one or two movements
OF the bowels each day Il Is consti-
pated. From constipation comes head
ache, a feeling OF oppression. bad
breath. nausea. sour stomach, etc. In
these troubles you can obtain nothing
better than DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep,

scribed for children and watch the
sickly child become healthy and well,

WILMINGTON
TO THE FORE

II must be gratifying TO all good VIII
mingtonians to know that right here in
this city. a record is being made which, in
the insurance world, is regarded as prob
ably without a parallel in this country.
One Of the technical journals OF the busi-
ness. The New York Chronicle Of Janu-
airy 18th. says edltorially :.
"The annual statement OF the Continen-
tai Lifo Insurance Company OF Whining
ton. Del. is a record Of one OF the most
remarkable achievements in establishing
a new company. The company shows for
the year, gain in insurance in force Of
81 ,s65, 750 or 80 per cent, and this not
only without the large loss in surplus
which only too commonly attends such
growth. but actually with an increase in
surplus. The Continental Life made a
similar record in 1905; that is, showed
earnings for the year although doing a
large new business. That was its first full
year and this is its second. 1t is doubtful
whether this has ever been parallel in
this country"
The foregoing comment IS all the more
significant when Il is known that the
Chronicle is regarded as the mouthpiece
Of one OF the most eminent life insurance
experts in the United States-Miles NJ.
Dawson. Esq. OF New York, the consult
ing actuary. who was the actuary OF the
world-famous Armstrong Investigating
Committee author OF Elements OF Life

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, penetrating
liquid is required. not an, outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema pa
tients the standard prescription OIL OF
Wintergreen as compounded in liquid
form known as d. D. d. Prescription.
A trial bottle OF this d. d. d. Pre-
scription. at only 25 cents. will instant
ly relieve the itch. We have sold and
recommended this remedy for years.
and know of wonderful cures from
its use. We recommend it to our pa
irons.

The Century
Wilmingtonians who heard r. Hop
kinson Smiths sentiments to the effect
that 1t took just 30 days to transform
an immigrant girl from a weil-man-
nered servant into a person who
thought it green" TO be polite. will be
interested in the editorial in the mid

ing is an extract.
Manners and the immigrant.
At the gate of the new world what is
the first lesson the immigrants learn?
is It the fundamental one Of respect
for the larger rights of others. Of which
we boast? Is it not rather one of dis
respect for the minor rights of court
csy and politeness? DO not false no
tions OF equality very soon rob their
respectful demeanor and speech of it's
bloom? This being the case, how can
we expect them to discrsminato in the
scope of their Indifference between
minor and major rights?
The societies that are bravely and
devotedly at work among the immi-
grant class. in their endeavor to bring
IL into consonance with the best Amer
ican standards, may we'll consider the
value to their work Of beginning with
the teaching. or the conserving. OF sim
pie good manners. To. establish re-
spectful intercourse among all-respect

the humble-is TO take the first i'm

PROVIDES $10,0OO
TO RECLAIM FLATS
Bill Affecting Anacostia to Be
Reported to House Late
This Afternoon.

The river and harbor appropriation bill
today. will recommend an appropriation
of s13oOn0 for the Improvement OF the
Anacostia fats. The whole amount Is
payable from the revenues Of the United
States. The citizens Of Washington will
be largely indebted to the personal efforts
of President Taft in securing this appro-
priation.
While the bill was under consideration.
President Taft told members of the com
mittee that he thought the Potomac river
was not being properly taken care of, and
he especially expressed his views as to
the necessity for the Anacostia fats re-
clamation. pointing out that the present
condition of the flats was a menace to
the health of the National Capital.
His views. thus expressed, attracted
the attention of members of the commit
tee to the reports of the army engineers
and to the urgent appeals of citizens, and
induced the committee to make this ap-
preparation.
For Improvement Of Potomac.
The committee also included in the bill
an appropriation of $1SO,OOO for continu-
ing the improvement of the Potomac
river at Washington. An appropriation
of $11 600. is included to carry on the
work of improvement Of the channel Of
the approach to Mount Vernon. The main
ship channel off lower Cedar Point is
given $1,000.

hanged in the county jail here today for
the murder of Leopold Ermann. an itin-

it under a chicken house. Ermann' S
brother instituted a search for the miss

finding OF the body.
With the body was found Ehrmann's S

Wilbur's Reply.

AT different times my brother and N.Y.
self have received recognition for the
work which We have attempted to do in
the line OF aerial research, but in no in
stance has such recognition given us
greater pleasure than that which we
now receive from the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
This is particularly the case because
the institution, through the studies and
work of Prof. Langley, has always taken
especial interest in scientific research in
matters relating to the physical proper
ties of the air, anr this interest has not
only extended to practical attempts to
fly, but also to research in general mat
ters relating to the physical properties OF
the air.
"A subject of research which has not
yet been completed, and enc to which Dr.
Bell has called attention in the work OF
Prof. Langley, is the co-efficient of air
pressure: that is. the pressure Of wind at
a certain speed on plane of certain size.
"A great many investigations have
been made by Prof. Langley and other
people who have experimental in this art.
but this particular investigation We have
had to set aside for a while on account
OF the press of business matters. but 1t
is our intention to take it up as oppor-
tunity offers.
There is Il great deal of work to do In
this line, and great many other re-
searches to be taken up which will keep
a large number of investigators busy for
a lifetime, and L venture to express the
hope that the smithsonian Institution will
continue to encourage the labors of those
engaged In these fields

There was a hearing on the proposition
in the foreign affairs committee today,

Of the committee was held. at which the
decision was reached to report the meas
ure. 1t is held to mark an important
step forward in the policy OF the United
States in this connection. Incidentally,
at today's hearing, President Jones and
other officials of the American Embassy
Association roasted the present system
of leasing buildings, and Frederick Town
nounced the proposition of sending
wealthy men as United States ambas-
sadors to foreign countries.
Opposes Wealthy Diplomats.
"This thing of sending wealthy men as
our representatives to foreign govern
ments,' he said, ''is gradually changing
the system from one of democracy to one
of snobbishness. Our embassies are no
torious for their exclusiveness and their
inaccessibility to the travelling Ameri-
can. The United States should establish
suitable embassies. and be democratic
abroad as well as at home"
Under the bill the Secretary of State is
authorized to acquire sites and buildings
for the diplomatic service. The amount
to be expended was cut by the commit
tee from 81 100000 to 100000 annually.
