Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children. forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give 1t indigestion. and
urge 1t to take more of what is quick
ly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
Quires is simply small dose of the
gentlest OF medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care Is necessary.
Colds. piles, headaches. sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.

FEARS ALLAYED IN
WAR REVENUE TAX
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Internal revs-
nue. collectors throughout the country
mad notice to-day from the Internal
Revenue Bureau here that the govern.
ment does not intend to prosecute anv
one subject to the war revenue law who
shows willingness and readiness to
buy the new tax stamps. The notice
was sent to allay fears on the part of
thousands of persons all over the coun-
try who yesterday besieged the internal
revenue offices in attempts to obtain
revenue stamps to comply with the law
and who because of their inability TO
do so became frightened over what
might happen in the event they were
not on the minute with their stamping.
There was no need for such fears and
this was made clear in telegram which.
Commissioner Osborne, of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, sent to all collectors.
The telegram was in response to frantic
calls from collectors, who told of crowds
rushing to their offices demanding
stamps, and it was hoped by officials
to-day that the notice would relieve a
situation which gave indications of
causing embarrassment to thousands of
persons and which also might have re-
suited III considerable confusion to rail
roads and shippers. The telegram is as
follows:
"Date all special tax returns Novem.
ber 80 until you are able to handle
applications promptly, unless you have
information that no effort was made
to file same prior to that date. If un-
able to supply demands for document
ary stamps for bills of lading, permit
shipments to go forward, have record
kept and afix or cancel stamps when
received. Notify railroads. "
Officials of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau here explain that, while every
thing possible had been done to get
ready to enforce the law, they have
been hampered in their work because of
the failure of Congress to appropriate
additional money for that purpose.
While the stamps have been shipped
away as fast as they could be turned
out by the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, failure of some collectors to
heed suggestions from Washington that
all applicants be given supplies suffici-
ent to last few days and not be per
mitted to have large quantities had
complicated the situation.

Chicago, Dee. 2.-No outward hint

sive party was manifested to-day by
leaders from 32 States who met in con
ference with the members of the execu-
tive committee of the organization.
Reports that disbandment of the
party was possibility were character
lied as idle fancies and that there was
likelihood of amalgamation of the Pro-
gressives with either the Republican or
Democratic party was equally ridiculed.
George w. Perkins, of New York,
chairman of the executive committee,
presided at the conference, which first
listened to the State chairman, who told
of political conditions. After these
talks it was the intention of the execu-
tive committee to go into session and
take what action was thought neces-
sary.
Speaking for the executive commit
tee, o. X. Davis answered a question
concerning the possibility of message
from Colonel Roosevelt by saying:
Colonel Roosevelt never has been a
member of the executive committee; he
never has been asked to attend meet

a message to the committee, and he is
not expected to send one now.'
The following members of the exec
utive body were present when the con-
ference began: George W. Perkins, of
New York; William Finn, Pennsylva-
mia; Walter F. Brown, Ohio, and Jane

HOW GIRLS live ON Sc PER

tion there was read to-day into the
record of the Factory Investigating
Commission first hand details, garner
ed from stores, factories and shops
throughout the State of the fight for
existence which the commission s in
vestigators say is being waged daily
by tens of thousands of underpaid
women and girls in New York State.
Miss Esther Packard, assistant sec
retary of the Consumers League, made
known the results of her personal in
vestigation and cited many instances,
among them the following:
"Miss c. W. When l have to pay

"F. M l never eat any break

est meal to do without.
"Miss T. 1 generally buy beans

cents for lunch; I seldom pay more
than seven cents.''
One girl, Miss Packard saws, lives
on one meal day when she has to
pay for shoes or a hat. Many girls
frankly admitted that they counted on
their male friends to buy their Sunday
dinners. A girl of % had taken no

could not afford to lose her salary for

THE DUMMY" DELIGHTFUL
Detective Comedy Is Well Acted by
the Original Company Headed
by Youthful Ernest Truck

A delightful play delightfully."- act
ed describes "The Dummy which ap-
peared with the original company at
the Majestic Theatre last night. 1t
is detective story, with comedy in al
most every line to relieve the melo-
dramatic pressure, and it is one Of
those successful modern plays that do
not depend upon the work of one
" starr to make them 60.
Every member of the cast is a skill
ful performer and if any part can be
described as the "leading role" it is
that taken by the youthful Ernest
Truck, as "Barney Cook the mes
senger boy, who becomes a detective.
Truck made his first successful appear
ance behind the footlights in a similar
role in "Wildfre' few years ago,
but his acting is even better in "The
Dummy"
Barney" the boy detective, is not
actually a dummy at all. He pre-
tends to be in order to help private
detective agency trap gang of black
mailers who had kidnapped the little
daughter of wealthy parents. The
dummy" contrives to have himself
kidnapped by the same crowd, pretend
ing to be the deaf and dumb son of a
rich Chicago family. In that way he
gains entrance to the haunts of the
kidnapers who talk freely in his pres
ence with the result that he ultimately
causes their capture and the restoration
of the kidnapped girl.
The funniest part of the play comes
when the boy who has been pretending
to be deaf and dumb falls asleep in the
Catskills bungalow of the crooks and
begins talking in his sleep to the as
tonishment of his captors.
Miss Jane Oaker, as "Rose Hart, -
wife Of a gambler and member of the
kidnapping gang, is a very clever actress
whose humor adds much to the charm
of the piece. The acting of Edward
Ellis, as "Spider Hart" the gambler,
and Nicholas Judels, as French wait
er, stands out somewhat above that of
the rest of the members of the excel
lent company.

MOTORIST WILL FIGHT ON
Myton Now Questions the Right of
Ward Constables to Post BLOW
Your Horn Signs

Whether or not ward constables of
borough or city have authority to
place elbow Your Horn" signs at
street intersections and town or city
limits, is a question which Judge AL
bert w. johnson, of the Union Snyder
circuit, specially presiding here in
criminal court this week, has been
asked to decide.
The point was raised by Fox 4 Gey-
er, counsel for j. Clyde Myton, presi-
dent of the Harrisburg Motor Club,
who last evening was found by a jury
to have failed to toot his auto horn
on entering the borough of Middletown
one bright Sunday afternoon last sum-
mer. Myton said he .purposely' went by
the sign boards without footing, his
aim being to start a test case in the
courts.
Squire George w. Rodfong, of Mid
dletown, imposed a fine and costs upon
Myton. Myton appealed and last even
ing the jury found a verdict of "euil-
ty, at the direction of Judge johnson.
Constabes T. X. Stipe and Matthew
Engle, of Middletown, testified that
they placed the elbow Your Horn
signs on the outskirts of the borough.
1t is being contended by Myton's couu-
sci that only, the Middletown council
or the Swatara township supervisors
had authority to post the signs.
At the next term of argument court,
which will be held here, within a week
or two, Judge johnson will hear the
legal end of the question and later rem
der a decision.

Lamar TRIAL NEARLY over
Counsel for Alleged Impersonator of
Congressman Palmer Will Enter
No Defense

New York, Dec. 2.-The government
rested this forenoon its case against
David Lamar, on trial on an indict-
ment charging him with representing
himself as Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer with intent to defraud j. P.
Morgan & Co., and the United States
Steel Corporation. The government IS
case was closed with the testimony,
begun yesterday and concluded to-day.
of Lewis Cass Ledyard.
Mr.. Ledyard testified in detail as
to alleged telephone conversations in
February, 1913, with a person who
represented himself as Mr.. Palmer,
but who, it is charged, was the de-
fendant. The witness testimony varied
little from accounts already published
of the alleged effort made by Lamar
to have j. P. Morgan employ Edward
Lauterbach, lawyer, and friend of
Lamar's.
Mr.. Ledyard told of visits made to
his office by Lauterbach. He said that
he (Ledyard) had called up Represen-
tative Palmer and made sure for the
first time that the person who had been
talking to him over the telephone for
days was an impostor.
"We admit that all these talks be.
tween Mr.. Ledyard and an unknown
person were between Mr.. Ledyard and
Mr.. LAMAR Lamar's counsel said.
With this District Attorney Marshall
closed the government 5 case.
Henry F. Davis, chief counsel for
Lamar, announced that he would enter
no defense and would allow the case
to go to the jury on its own merits.
