Women are especially susceptible ia

mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by Dr. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for
brief period, will so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, il any,
further need for medicine.

ORIGIN OF THE CRESCENT
Was Once Emblem Of Byzantine EN-
pire and Eastern church--Now
Regarded as Mohammedan.

London.-Though now regarded rs
essentially Mohammedan, the cres-
cent was Christian in its origin. A
crescent moon was the emblem OF the
Byzantine empire and the eastern
church. and the Turks adopted it as
badge of triumph after the capture of
Constantinople in 1853.
With reference to the crescent the
story of the origin Of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is worth recalling.
1t arose In the sixteenth century when
the Turks were besieging Vienna, and
failing to carry 1t by assault began
to drive mines under the walls. At
that period the city's bakehouses were
in the walls under the Notifications,
and when the mines were almost
through the sound of the work was
heard In the underground bake houses
and the alarm given. 1t was to cele-
brate this event that the bakers adopt
ed the Turkish emblem as the shape
In which the make their bread.

OFFERED BY TURKS.
Refusal of Greece Interpreted In Some
Quarters as Meaning That Hos
tilities Will be Continued Be-
tween Greece and Turkey.

Constantinople.-Rh armistice was
signed Tuesday between Turkey and
Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro.
Greece did not sign the paper. As
far as the signers in the armistice are
concerned, Greece is left to continue
the war against Turkey, should such
action be desired.
The plenipotentiaries met at the
same place where negotiations have
been proceeding for several days
near the Tchatalja lines. The allies
made one or two fresh proposals.
These were transmitted to CONSTANT,
nople and delay of several hours
was necessary while the reply was be-
ing considered in the Turks capital
About in the evening the response
came and an armistice was signed.
1t is understood that the Greeks ad
hered to their original demands for
the surrender of the Turkish troops
in the Aegean islands of Chios and
Mitylene and the surrender of Janina
but these were not conceded by Tur

The fact that Greece has not signed

that hostilities will be continued be
