SION.

Chairman Clyde w. Saunders. of
| the plans committee OF the city
Democratic committee, will call his
committee together this week to map
out the annexation design" for the
4 ticket to be voted at the primary.
Mr.. Saunders said yesterday that
Ithe committee would look over the
situation carefully and report to the
general committee the most feasible
plan.
I'VE were directed BY practically
the unanimous vote OF the commit
tee to determine upon some plan by
which the request of the Central
Trades and Labor council could be
carried out.
my understanding Is that the fact
that the labor men have asked to have
the annexation question voted on
does not mean that they are opposed
to annexation, either restricted or
unlimited know some labor men
who are ardent advocates Of annexa-
ton.
No Legal Eject.
MY Interpretation OF their re-
quest Is that they simply wish an ex-
preston from the Democratic voters.
This expression need have no effect
upon the action of the council COM
mittee on annexation. 1t can have
no legal effect. 1t will simply be an
expression of opinion from the vot-
ers--the men who have taken the
trouble to pay their taxes and prepare
themselves 20 have some say in the
conduct of the city's affairs.

ton is concerned. the city council

Overnight Relief
for Constipation
A Small Dose on Retiring
and You Are Well and
Happy BY Morning

1t is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and so we have whole nation
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache,
drowsiness or biliousnass, all uncon-
sciQus of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass day you are constipated and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose Of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some Of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives
Mr. A B. Danner, 1926 Riley St, Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. CaldwelFs
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant

KEEPING THE LINEN IN ORDER
Well Ordered Closet is Joy and With
Little Care May Easily Be Pro-
vided for in Any House.

A well ordered linen closet is a Joy
to every housewife who fortunately
possesses one. The really ideal linen
closet, of course, is one that is big
enough TO have window; but the
usual line closet is built into some
Granny of the upper hall. in rather
dark, out-of-the-way corner. This sort
of closet is, of course, just as useful as
the larger, airier one, and with a little
attention can be made to look almost
as well.
Before the weeks laundry work is
put away it should be thoroughly aired.
This rule applies TO sheets. towels, pill
low slips and table linen, as well as to
clothes If the day is bright and dry
the freshly-ironed clothes can be
spread on clothes horse on a sun
shiny plaza, or in an open window. If
the day is damp they should be aired
before a stove. fireplace or radiator
1t is good plan also to leave the linen
closet door open for an hour or SO
every few days. when the windows
throughout the house are open

a military funeral passing down Penn

Exquisite Agony.

1T was, to say the least of It," a
London letter remarks, Just little

went out the other evening at the
town house of presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing a good
deal of political entertaining. The
guests, to the number of a dozen, had
just finished their soup when the I'M
fortunate incident occurred. The
scramble to find sufficient number
of candles SO that the dinner might
proceed was attended with great
deal of difficulty and, no little amuse-
ment. The butler, who is described
as being bit new to his job, was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catas-
trophe and demand attention to the
matter. 1t was trying moment for

Canal Began Centuries Aoo.

Four centuries elapsed between the
Panama canals first conception and
its completion but this by no means
constitutes a record in the annals of
canal construction. The completion
in 1898 of the canal across the Isthmus
of Corinth was the finish Of a scheme
for which the first survey was made
in the year 600 B. c., when Perian-
der employed Egyptian engineers to
carry out the work. Nero actually COM
menced work along the site of the
present canal, but at his death it was
abandoned, and the project was not
revived until 1882, and this though
