Teach Your Child
 How To Be Healthy
Regular Bowel Movement From Infancy Insures Good Health in Later
 Years.

We cannot all start life with the ad vantages of money, but every child born is entitled to the heritage of good health. Through unfortunate ignor ance or carelessness in the feeding of a baby it's tiny stomach may become deranged. The disorder spreads to the bowels and before the mother realizes it the two chief organs on which the infants comfort and health depend are causing it great suffering. If the condition Is allowed to con tinue grave ailments often result.
 There is, however, no occasion for alarm, and the sensible thing to do- but it should be done instantly-is mild 1axative-tonic. In the opinion of a great many people, among them such wen-known persons as the par ents of Bertha Lee Woodland, years old. of Moultrie, Ga, the proper rem edy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. I. N. Woodland says that little Bertha was troubled with constipation for over year, and that after trying several different kinds of rem edies she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin. It is a mild, pleasant-tasting laxative which every person likes, does not gripe nor cramp, and contains that most excellent of all digestants, pep sin.

TO MEET DEMANDS.
May Impress Coastwise Ships Into
Transatlantic Service.

New York, August 5.-Steamships
flying the American flag and en-
gagged in the coastwise trade for the
most part are to be offered to the
government for transatlantic SER
vice. Offers of many vessels have
been sent to Commissioner of Navi-
cation Chamberlain at Washington.
The question of insurance, although
the rates may be thought excessive,
can be settled after the ships are
found, it is said The most suitable
vessels for the trans Atlantic trade
are the Pacific liners now engaged
in the trade with Asia. These might
be brought through the, Panama Ca
nal.
Of vessels already in Atlantic
waters the best for trans oceanic
service would be twenty-three of the
Southern Pacific Line, all fit for over
ocean sailing.
The vessels of the American Line
fly the flag of the United States and
can continue to cross the ocean in
safety. In addition there are two
Red Star steamships that are now. of
American registry-the Finland and
the kroonland. This makes six ships
OF the International Mercantile Ma
rine which are immune.
There are besides available sbins
Of the Red D Line, the Ward Line
