Permanent ReIief for
 Chronic Constipation
Knooledge and Practice ol Correct Daily Habit the
 Gredt Esser rtidl

Constipation is condition affecting all classes of all people and can be permanently relieved only by acquir- ing haGits of regularity.
 The most natural time for the eliIn- inative process Is in the morning when both the muscular and nervous systems are relaxed by sleep and rest When relief does not come readily. 1t is an excellent plan to take a mild lax atiye at bedtime. Cathartics and pur- gatives. that by the violence of their quick action shock and disturb the system, should not be employed
 An effective laxative remedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the organs involved. is found in a combination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin that can be bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle.
 Mrs. c. c. Allen, 215 Foam St, New Monterey. Calif.. wrote to pr. Cald- well that she found Dr. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin just what was needed for constipation and distress Of the stomach after eating. It should be in every household"

 The British ship was entitled to pro- lection since 1t was within the ter ritorial limits of Sweden and running between the vessels, the Swedish ves- sel, determined to prevent a wrong which was about to be- committed cleared for action. This apparently brought the German commander to 2 realization of what he was about to do. He had no business attempting such a thing in Swedish waters and knowing that he was in the wrong drew away and disappeared. It was a duty which Sweden was called upon to perform, but had that naval officer not been alert 1t is probable that there would have been one less British ship and an unjustified disregard for Swed- ish neutrality.

DIR. TRUDEAus EXAMPLE.

Much is being done by states and organizations in these days for the checking of the white plague and 1t is meeting with excellent results in the saving of life and the prevention of great amount of suffering. One notable instance of what can be ac- complished through faithful observ- ance of the requirements which long study has found ito be necessary is revealed in the case of Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, whose death recently oc- cured at Saranac Lake
 Dr. Trudeau contracted tuberculosis when young man and his case was considered hopeless at the age of 26. He was nevertheless advised to seek the benefits of the region where he spent practically the remainder of his life. There it was he began the open air treatment, with himself and two others as patients, which is now rec ognized throughout the world as the successful method of treatment for the dread disease. As the result of his work and steady adherence to his con- Victions he prolonged his own life un- til at his deatk he was 67 and his life had been one of extreme usefulness.
 And what he had been able to do for himself he helped by his counsel in accomplishing for thousands of others. If he had resigned himself to his fate when tuberculosis made its appear ance, humanity would have suffered a tremendous loss, though unconsciously. but thanks to his determination he made valuable contribution to science and became leading authority on the treatment of the disease. He showed that with the proper care tuberculosis loses it's terrors.

 Letters written by German sol- diers during the battle of Champagne, found on prisoners and dead. throw some light on the spirit of the troops.
 The battlefront has disappeared in a cloud of smoke" wrote one. Nothing can be seen, for the French artillery fires almost as rapidly as the infantry. One armored shelter was crushed in and not one of the 16 oc- cupants escaped. Men are falling like flies and the trenches are noth- ing but debris"
 Shells are simply raining upon us," another wrote. If the end were only near! This Is the cry everyone should raise peace! peace'"

A shelter five yards deep, protected by two rows of logs and two and a half yards of earth, was caved in as if 1t were only a match; that's a specimen of the force of the French shells"
 Many of our men are useless" 1" wrote the captain of the 24th infantry in a report for his superior officer. once. Our men are dying of fatigue, privation and loss of sleep"

studyina, serum trem snakes.

Medical scientists interested in the discovery of an eff1cacious antidote for snake bites are risking their lives mount Park, conducting experiments among the reptiles in the snake house Toxicologists the world over have been working for some time to perfect a serum.
 How would you like to sit down at table with a writhing rattlesnake before you, his fangs darting vicious ly in every direction, and busy your self with extracting the sting from
 the reptile? This Is the work Of the
 scientist who risks his life for the
 sake of humanity. In order to work out a powerful serum the toxicofogist has to have some of the deadly poison of the snake, and to get it he oper- ates upon the live snake In 1S43 Lucien Bonaparte first made
 an analysis of vipr vine venom and claimed it to be proteid in character, and 20 years later Dr. s. Weir Mitch | ell confirmed this statement after a | long series of analyses of she poison
 of the rattlesnake.
 Since that time snake venoms have
 been the subject of discussion and
 research by the greatest toxicologists | the world over all endeavoring to discover a successful treatment to eombat the swift and deadly proper ties Of the poison. The importance oL this work can be readily appreciated,
 inasmuch as more than 10000 deaths
 are recorded annually in India as the
 result of bites from venomous snakes. Dr. Calmette, in India, was the first to produce an antiserum for snake venom, after a series of ex-
 periments demonstrating that anf- mals could be immuniZed by injecting a nonfatal dose of venom and gradu- ally increasing until the animal would survive many times the fatal dose- Philadelphia Public Ledger. z

next to impossible for human beings to hold out any longer"
 ''Six of our men were killed by shells yesterday morning" wrote a ly leeled. The 11th battalion has suffered heavily"
 How the achievements were rushed up is revealed by another of- ficer. We were crowded into autos" he wrote, and rushed madly from rest in the rain and six hours march to our position under constant she'll fire, we reached the trench, losing 56 out of 2S0 men of the 2nd company by the way. We were 11S hours with out food in a trench not tive feet deep. Hell couldn't be worse. Six hundred more men just arrived; they win only replace the killed and wounded of the past Eve days"
 Surprise and the demoralization of the German first line troops by sus- tained artillery fire have both been number of. prisoners taken. Orders of German commanders that fell in- to the hands of the French indicate that the attack was not a surprise and there has been a natural reluc- tance to believe that German organ ization and discipline were in default. Information obtained by the Assoei- ated Press from eye-witnesses of the operations Is to the effect that the German counter attacks were neither spirited nor we'll planned.
 If the attack was no surprise the force of it was a revelation; it ap- pears to have thrown a certain con- fusion into the German ranks, result ing In precipitate and almost dis orderly engagement of reserves The men seemed both exhausted and de- uaoraHzed-iHcapable of properly un- dertaking a general counter-attack Over-confidence in the solidity in the first line trenches seemed to be gen. eral among the officers, for many of them were found in bed at Trou- Bri- cot half hour after the attack be- gan. They were ignorant of the eap- ture of the first line of trenches be- cause the telephone wires had been ruptured.
 Tn the counter-attacks divisions were broken up and scattered, regI- mentS even were divided. battaiions sent to right and left in absolute con- tradiction of the German spirit of or ganization. There were engaged be- tween the ~Maison de Champagne and 1e9 Hill, 32 battalions belonging to 2l different regiments.
 What acted most on the nerves ot the German troops, according to in- formation brought out by questioning prisoners, was the continuity of sths French artillery fire, the weakness oi their own reply. the extent of theii losses, lack of food for several day, and thirst. They surrendered In sec. tons in many instances and in wholt companies in some. All acknowledged they were tired of the struggle. A fact that Is regarded as signih. cant is that the achievements tha' Germans sent up during the battl, were mostly of the contingent of 1911 with some volunteers of the conting. ent of 1916 previously held in reserve at~their bases. The conclusion drawI by some military critics is that Ger, many Is nearing the day when sh, will no longer be able to maintain he present force on all her lines.

Many breaches of neutrality have occurred during the existing war upon the part of the commanders of naval vessels of tho belligerent powers. They have been so bent upon attaining their object that too little respect has been paid to the rights of neutral nations.

soFTENING THE LAW.

Because of the work in which he has been engaged in Colorado in behalf of young people, the object of which has been to impress upon them the difference between right and wrone, for the purpose of influencing their lives in the right direction, the recent decision of the higher court of that state in finding Judge Lindsey guilty of contempt of court for refusing to divulge the statement made to him by a witness in a murder case, has excited widespread attention
 Judge Lindsey justified his stand on the ground that the violation of such a confidence would impair his ser vices as a juvenile judge, which were of peculiar nature and not to be gov erned by the rules and practices of other courts.
 In view of the opinion of the higher court this is an interpretation of his latitude as a juvenile judge which is not sanctioned by law. As the Phil adelphia Bulletin says "even the ju- venile mind ought to be taught that there is certain rigidity to law, that there is formality and dignity that must be respected, that the law is as it is written and not as some kind man or woman in a special seat ot justice may interpret it. Even iu- venile court ought not to be pleas ant, home-like place to which offenders may come and have their shining for given. There is a danger of going too far in softening the law"
 If there is any question as to what the rules and practices are by whict juvenile court judge should be gov erned. it is time that it was deter mined, but the finding of the judge guilty of contempt indicates that there is no doubt in the matter and thai such an official has no such privileges as he was inclined to believe.

 Which strikes you as being most heavenly, one grand endless leisure or one sweet eternal service of love? Is there anything we can get more queer conceptions of than of heaven. There is no doubt that leisure and songs, service of love and love of service are necessary to make heaven complete, whether it is condition or whether it is a place. What lots of things have been said about heaven: Heaven is the perfection of all that can be said or thought" said Shirley.

Sunday Morning Talk
THE THANKSGIVING HABIT.

It comes hard on anyone to ask him to be thankful on a certain Thursday of November who has not been so on the previous 364 days of the year. To ask the habitually unthankful man suddenly to give thanks Is like start ing up a creaking pump to raise water in pipes that have long been dry. Not even a machine can reverse a habit in a minute. Nor can the mood of thanksgiving be suddenly conjuIed up for a special occasion.
 The thankful spirit comes, if at all, as the result of a process of cultiva- tion. No governors proclamation can make any appointed day of thanks other than a dreary farce un- less we come to 1t with sort of running start of preparation.
 The very instinct of gratitude may be lost out of life, unless one is on his guard. People may reach state of mind in which they rarely or never say thank you-' It may be that. in- of gratitude both to God and to their fellow men, but, at least, they never express it. Any word of praise to the Giver of All Good is absent from their lips and they are equally nig- gardIy as regards their associates. CTS labor on year in and year out, never knowing whether their efforts are appreciated or not, because the appreciative word is never spoken. What tragedy and even heartbreak results from such ungenerous ret incence, God only knows.
 Blow, blow thou winter wind,
 Thou art not so unkind as mans in-
 gratitude.
 A habit of thanksgiving that can flower into any fitting observance of our annual holiday is fostered by an appreeiative consideration of others the whole year through. Let us cease accepting favors without a word or a sign of appreciation. Let us be ashamed never to say thank you' even to ,thcse constantly perform ing loves ministries for us. One sometimes sees children speedily for getting every sacrifice made for them in the family circle. going on into later years of success and attainment strangely oblivious to the ceaseless de- votion that surrounded their young lives. King Lear is not the only par ent who has learned, How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child"
 The Bible declares that Praise is comedy" We are reminded that 'Tt is a good thing to give thanks" If anyone has gotten out of the habit he may well set himself to form it again. The lack of the grace of grat- itude from character is as if one of the seven primary colors were want ing in a ray of light. Possession of other noble qualities will not atone for the loss of this one.
 Another year has nearly rolled its round, and, while we behold sorrow and suffering in this present world that well nigh staggers the mind there is hope in the situation if we know where to look for it. The greatest hope is that the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Therefore let the earth rejoice.
 Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet

(written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 As Thanksgiving nears, the thoughts of every New Englander, in particular, turn with fondness toward the turkey. During three-fourths of the year we may eat the white or somehow at Thanksgiving time 1t tastes different. better; means mofel
 About this time. we begin to hear concerning the respective merits of bronze turkeys as against white tur- keys. The papers give space to the price of the holiday fowl; tell with seriousness that they are to be scarce or plenty, refer gravely to mysteri- ous maladies which have well-nigh exterminated the little turks during vantage of a grass-hopper diet for the birds, and so on.
 Pictures of the sobbIer begin to decorate one thing and another; toy turkeys suddenly grow popular as favors. 1t becomes a question of na- tional importance whether anybody is going to keep up the custom in- augurated by the late Horace Vose, of Westerly, and send a. North Ston- ington turkey of the prize bronze or black strain to the White House, for the Presidents holiday dinner. There Is so much talk on the subject that the Traveller from New Zealand might fancy the turkey emerging from a state of extinction as acknowledged as that of the dodo, just for this special feast day.
 For brief time, too, the Eagle has to go way back and sit down. as far as being the National Bird is concerned! During the space of week or so, his nose is broken, or more accurately, his beak is twisted clean out of joint, by the gobbling fowl of the barn yard.
 True, the turkeys supremancy is not acknowledged solely in New Eng land, or even throughout the United States, at Thanksgiving time, or earlier or later. It has come to pass that now, in nearly every corner of the globe, except perhaps it's very un- civilized localities, the domesticated turkey may be found.
 Sad for him is this fact, too; for it indicates what his fate is, - to be eaten. His flesh when roasted so ap- peals to epicures of all nations that, willy nilly. he has had to circumnav- igate the globe!
 Left to himself the turkey would never have wandered from his own barn side. In his wild state. he is not
