Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of Cor.
recting Instantly Before
it Becomes Chronic

Very few people go through life with
out some time or other being troubled
with constipation. Thousands injure
themselves by the use of strong ca
fhartics, salt mineral waters pills and
similar things They have temporary
value in some cases, 1t is true, but the
good effect is soon lost, and the more
one takes of them the less effective they
become.
A physic or purgative is seldom neces-
sarv. and much better and more per-
manent results can be obtained by using
a scientific remedy like DIR. Caldwells
syrup Pepsin 1t does not hide behind
a high sounding name, but is what 1t Is
represented to be, mild laxative medi-
cine. 1t is so mild that thousands of
mothers give 1t TO tiny infants, and yet
1t is so compounded, and contains such
definite ingredients that 1t will have
equally good effect when used by per-
son suffering from the worst chronic
constipation. In fact. among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are eld7
erly people who have suffered for years
and found nothing to benefit them until
they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house. homes like those of Mrs. G. b.
Pruitt, Berea, Ky, who used DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic.
Mrs. Pruitt writes that 1t so strength
ened and eleansed her system that she
was quickly relieved of a severe cough
which had troubled her for months The
special value of this grand laxative
tonic is that 1t is suited to the needs of

THOSE DERIVING
BENEFIT SHOULD
PAY CANAL TOLL
Professor Johnson Delivers
Address on the Pan
anna Canal Toll
Problems

PHILADELPHIA, January 25.-Prof. Emery
r. johnson, special commissioner of the
United States on Panama traffic and tolls,
in an address here tonight declared tnat
The owners of vessels in the coastwise
trade will derive greater benefits from
the Panama canal than the owners of any
other vessels; that double the rate hxea
by the President would not prevent coast
wise carriers from using that waterway,
and that "in view of these facts 1t seems
:ust that those who derive immediate
benefit from the use of the canal should
pay reasonable tolls"
Professor Johnson, who spoke before
the American Academy of Political and
Social Science, studied the question OF
canal tolls for the government pefore
President Taft fixed the rate.
Leading up to his conclusion that coast
wise vessels should not be exempted from
tolls, Professor Johnson said the canal
should be made commercially self support
mig, and continued:
"Ninety-nine shippers out of 100 Will
nav the same freight rates between the
two seaboards whether there be tolls or
no tolls charged the individuals or cor
Loratons who own and operate coastwise
vessels 1t will be only the exceptionally
large producers and traders Who snip IN
fuli vessel loads that will secure lower
transportation rates because OF toll ex-
omption.
"'The owners of coastwise ships have
ben relieved from the payment OF toiis
for the purpose of aiding the merchant
marine under the American flag inc
public funds however. will go to snip
owners that need no aid, and not to the
owners of the American vessels that serve
our foreign trade-yessels that need as
sistance.
There are reasons why the United
States might we'll seek to have a strong
line of vessels under the American nag
fcom the west coast of the United states
by way of Hawaii, japan and China ana
TO the Philippines. 1t would be desirable
to have an equally strong line out 70
Australia from our west coast; to have
line fro mthe Atlantic and gulf ports
Down the east coast of South America to
Buenos Ayres, and another through the
Panama canal down the west coast 10
South America to Valparaiso.
IF we are to give the owners of Amer
ican ships S40o0a,oo0 during 10 years, the
funds had better 30 to build up such
lines as have been mentioned instead or
