A Staple Medicine
for Every Family
No Self Respecting Group of
People Should Be Without
Good Family Laxative.

1t is :nconceivabIe in this day Of
general intelligence that any famils-
would be without a simple remedy
for the minor ills OF life. for often by
giving such a remedy in time a Sc
rious disease can be frustrated and a
life saved.
For example. if at the first sign Of
a cold simple laxative-tonic like
DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin were
given. the beginning of a serious lung
affection or Of a typhoid fever might
he avoided. And also in headaches,
nervousness. etc. small dose of this
remedy would relieve the congestion
and replace distress with comfort

IN TOMBS,
TO GET EARLY TRIAL
Former Lieutenant Says He
Would Not Again Take a Po-
lice Job in New York.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Former Police
Lieut. Charles Becker is today in the
Tombs awaiting new trial.
He was taken from the death house
at Sing Sing late yesterday and brought
here by two deputies. His wife accom-
panied him on the trip down. and low
irgly caressed him. oblivous to the gaze
of other passengers.

Beeker's Plan a Surprise.
Becker's announcement that he in
tends to testify in his own behalf was
a surprise to Mr.. whitman. because the
prosecution. in a new trial, would de-
pend upon Becker's own story more than
anything else to obtain a conviction.
In the previous trial Mr.. Whitman
and former Assistant District Attorney
Frank Moss were unable to use their
most effective evidence because Becker
declined to take the witness chair.
They were unable to get before the
jury an accumulation of evidence that
Becker had obtained from $4,000 to
900 as tribute from gamblers and
other lawbreakers.
They were unable to get at the tTu. h

Congressman Clark Opens Plan
Involving the Erection Of
Three New Structures.

CongreSSman Frank Clark of Florida
has introduced in the House bill pro-
>iiinc 100000 for the construction of
he Department of Justice building, in
accordance with the plan projected for
three Sreat Federal structures on the
south side OF Pennsylvania avenue, bor-
GeriuG uDon the Mall
Secretary IF Commerce Relfeld has
urged the need for more spacious quar-
ters and asked that immediate steps be
taken for the erection of its new home.
The Department of State is the only
one of the three departments included
in the proposed plan which has shown
no disposition 70 push it, possibly be-
cause as the State building is TO he To-
Gated further from street railway facili-
ties than the other buildings, its Of
1icials are inclined to give more thought
TO the details.
In 1910 the public buildings act au-
thorized the preparation OF preliminary
plans ami sketches for three buildings,
TO be utilized, respectively, by the De-
partments of State, Justice, and Com
lnerce and Labor.
Two Departments.
Immediately the supervising architect
I'D the task. They completed it within
project was pigeonholed.
Before anything can be determined
upon definitely with regard TO the Com
merce building, Congress must decide
whether it will house both the Depart
ment of Commerce and that Of Labor in
the same structure.
Even if the Department OF Commerce
is given one of the buildings alone, it
will require the largest of the three
Present estimates fix the required sum
for this edifice at 81. 500 0O0 Secretary
Redfield desires to house all Of the bu-
reaus embraced in his department. with
the single exception of the Bureau Of
standards, which. to preclude disturb
ance of the instruments used, has been
located away from electrical influences.
Need For Quarters.
The Department Of Commerce employs
one of the largest corps of clerks in
the Federal service. In addition to its
regular staff, its force is largely aug
mented during the periodical census
enumerations. Consequently, it is said
that provision will have to be made for
more than $500 individuals.
Immediate need, 1t is contended by
Federal officials, now exists for the
Commerce and Justice buildings and
strong pressure is expected to be brought
to bear upon Congress to give favorable
consideration to the adoption of plans.
All three proposed buildings are to be
of classic architecture, and will conform
to the monumental scheme developed in
the Capitol, Treasury, and other of the
larger Federal buildings now located in
Washington.

WOULD CHANGE THE
STATE SPEEDLAWS
Maryland Automobi|ists Support
Measure to Make Uniform
State Regulation.
By HARRY WARD.

There is pending before the Maryland
legislature a bill. introduced by Senator
Chesley, providing that In any town or
village, Incorporated or not. that shaii
put up a sign 1T both extremes Of its
limits. the limit of speed shall be SIX
miles"
In a brief fled with the legislature
by Osborne !; fellott; counsel or 'ns ,s
pointed out that under the present la"
In different parts of the State towns
have adopted regulations limiting the
speed of motor vehicles to SIX m les,
ten miles and twelve miles. These laws
have been made the cause of great an
noyance to autOmobilists and had no
beneficial results to the communities
adopting the same. since there mas he'tr
been a conviction under any one OF such
local regulations that couid not nav

or any other speed. In such respects,
therefore, the general law Is much more
favorable to the public than are these
special local regulations Any COM
munitv which IS prepared to enforce
local regulations strictly can enforce
the provisions of the general law with
just as good effect.
Another objection to these local reg

turers paid visit to the great retail mar kets in Boston during the month of June. The latter gentlemen. who was not ac- quainted with the New England poultry trade, was astonished to learn that chick ems weighing from five to 10 pounds were being sold across the counter at AS cents per pound and that the available supply was short. This stock was merely bled and plucked, heads, feet and entrils being weighed in at the 4S-cent rate.
 The explanation is easy. The fine Bos- ton trade-as is true in all great cities prefers fresh-lkilled poultry to that from the cold storage plants. In the early summer the market Is practically bare of fresh roasting chickens, since the spring matched chicks have only reached broiler weight. Therefore any one who can sup ply good coasters at this season is in posi- ton to demand long prices.
 Taking advantage of this seasonable situation, a number of poultrymen have specialized in the production of winter chickens, matching their f1ocks in the fall and bringing them to maturity just when the demand is keen Of course the ce st of production is greater than during the natural growing season, but the margin of profit Is also larger und many Of these men are doing exceptionally well.
 New York Is noted for its fine hotels. and is notorious for the scale of prices maintaining at many of them The for tupate guest at certain establishments is fed on the best the world affords. An unusually expert producer of the finest table poultry, who has had more expe- rience in the famous market poultry sec tions of Europe, is catering to this exclu- sive trade. Among other things he grows the finest of capons, using stock which is especially suited to the purpose. finishing
