on DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. Mr..
Dey considers it the right laxative for
young and old and has found none bet

The use of DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep

salts and pills as they are too harsh for
the majority and their effect is only
temporary. Syrup Pepsin brings per-

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need Mild laxa-
tive to Foster Regular Bowel Move

Growing Children Need Mild Laxa-
tive to Foster Regular Bowel Move
ment.
AS child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention from
the mother, and as the functions of the
bowels are of the utmost importance to
health, great attention should be paid
TO them.
Diet is of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and SO we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t is also to be considered that the child
is growing, and great changes are TAX
ing place in the young man or young
woman. The system has not yet set
tied itself to it's later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this stage,
and one which every growing boy and
girl should be given often or occasion
ally, according to the individual cir
cumstances, is DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin This is a laxative and tonic
combined, so mild that it is given to
little babies, and yet equally effective
in the most robust constitution. At the
first sign Of a tendency to constipation
give small dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night on retiring, and prompt action
will follow in the morning. 1t not
only acts on the stomach and bowels
but its tonic properties build up and
strengthen the system generally, which
Is an opinion shared by Mr.. John Dey
Of Bloomfield, N. J. He has a large
family and at ages where the growth
and development must be watched.

MEAT EATERS HAVE URIC
ACID IN THEIR BLOOD
EvAPoRATED MINERAL WATER
is SAFEST WAY TO DRIVE OUT
URIC ACID.


People who eat meat regularly can
not expect to avoid the evil effects
of Uric Acid which meat produces in
the system unless they frequently
flush the kidneys and bowels land
stimulate the liver to action. Rheu-
matism. Gout, Backache, Bladder
Trouble. Highly Colored Urine, Con-
stipation. Heartburn, Sick Headache,
Pimples; all OF these come from
clogged Kidneys and Torpid Liver,
caused by too much meat and heavy
foods, which fill the blood with Uric
Acid, weakens the kidneys and ac-
cumulate fat. Get quarters worth
of evaporated mineral water in pow
der form and take two teaspoonfuls
of this powder in glass Of water
two or three times week, just after
you get UP in the morning. It stlm-
ulates the liver and kidneys to action
and carries off all poisonous matter
by flushing the intestlnes and kid
neys, which otherwise is absorbed by
the blood and produces Headache,
Dizziness. Sallow Complexion. Pim-
pies, etc. Wells-Haymaker Compa-

NARROW ESCAPE
Has Principal Seaport of Cey-
Ion from Destruction in the !
Early Days of the War.

Correspondence of Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. Colombo Har-
Dor, the principal seaport of Ceylon
and its shiping had narrow escape
from destruction in the early days Of
the war, according to mail ,advices
Just received here. A German spy
set fire to an anchored vessel which
contained more than fifty tons of dy-
Mantle. The only means of saving
neighboring shipping and harbor
works was to sink the burning ship
and this was done by squad Of
volunteers at a considerable risk.
All mention Of this incident was
apparently deleted by the English
censor in the cable news dispatches
at the time,
