WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scrbed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name OF
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. is ideal
for women, being gentle in action pos
Tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, will so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, If any,
further need for medicine.
Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin can be
procured In any drug store. Your

DESIGNS IN NEW LINGERIE
Ideas Of Partisan Modistes Follow
Closely the Line Of Fashion Of
the Season.

Partisan modistes are making a new
nightgown, which is cut high in the
back and very low in the front, posi-
bly, influenced by the universal fash
ion for the Robespierre collars. Gowns,
you know, even for the evening" are
high at the back even when they are
cut almost to the waist in the front
This design has few fine
tucks in the middle of the back. Is
finished with an overcast line of seal
lops under which is caught a full gath
cred ruflle Of Vaienciennes lace In
front there are more fine tucks. put in
groups, and through a line of button
holes is run inch-wide pink satin rib
bon. which is tied in long loops in
the middle. The line of this decollet-
age is exceedingly pretty and reminds
one OF the portraits of Raeburn of the
fashionable ladies' of his day. who
wore their outer frocks cut high in
the back and swirling down to expose
a wide expense of chest and bust in
front. the picture framed in with a
anticipated frill of lace.
This same designer is also making
admirable princess combinations to
wear over the corset instead of a cor
set cover and a short petticoat and
pair of Knockers. These are of main
sock and fitted to the figure with
many seams. They are Just long
enough to cover the cap of the knee
and are finished with two-inch rufhes
of hand. embroidered scallops or slight
ly gathered lace.
The fastening Is down the side. in
order that the pattern of the front
will not be disturbed. The line goes
straight under the arm. of course. and
the adjustable straps are of lace or of
fresh pink ribbon.

A novelty In the way of maps has
just been issued by the German impe'
rial postotflce. which has compiled n
chart showing the principal wireless

object is to advertise the facilities
