Quickly Relieves
 Without Distress

The congestion of waste and refuse from the stomach, ferment- ing in the bowels, generates poi sonOus gases that occasion distress and invite serious illness. Health and comfort demand that this con gestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled.
 The Well-founded objection ! most people have to the violence of cathartic and purgative agents is overcome by using the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald- ! wells Syrup Pepsin. A dose at
 night brings relief next morning, without discomfort or incOn- Nenience \ free trial bottle can he obtained by writing to Dr. w E. Caldwell, 152 Washington St.,

 quick.

When your child suffers from a cold don't wait: give the little stomach, liver and bowels a gentle. thorough cleansing at once. When cross. peev- iSh. listless pale, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally: if breath is bad, stom- ach sour, give a teaspoonful of Cali fornia Syrup of Figs and in few hours all the clogged-up, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again.
 If your child coughs, snuffles and has caught cold or is feverish or has a sore throat give a good dose of "California Syrup of Figs to evac- other treatment is given.
 Sick children needn't be cOaxed to take this harmless fruit laxative" Millions of mothers keep it handy be- cause they know it's action on the stomach, liver and bowels is prompt and sure. They also know a little given today saves a sick child tomor- row.
 Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs,' which contains directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on the bottle Beware of commercials sold here. Get the genu- inc, made by "California Fig Syrup Company

years. According to report printed in the Frankfurter Zeitung, the pri- soners at Doberitz were compelled to turn out for work on trumpet sig nal. On November the prisoners delayed in answering the signal, and the corporal in command of the con- struction work gave orders that sev- eral tents be cleared and that the pri- sOnerS be driven out. In one tent there were 250 prisoners, and rather serious affray between them and the landsturm reservists in charge of the camp ensued. Butts of muskets were used in driving out the prisoners. Lonsdale turned furiously on one of the guards, clinched his fist and gave him a blow on the chest. He aimed another blow at the Germans face. which did not land. The corporal anne up and, with the flat of his
 word, gave Lonsdale several blows

PLANS MADE FOR
 ANNUAL BANQUET
Boys ChuIch Athletic Association to Have First Gathering al south
 Church. February f.

Plans for the first annual banquet of the Boys Church Athletic asso- citation to be held Monday, February l, are progressing well. The banquet is to be held in the South church and the supper is to be under the direc- tion of the Christian Enleavor so- c1ety of that church. A generous re- past has been assured and no boy who comes will go away hungry
 Rev. Samuel F.. F1ske, of Berlin an old favOrite at after dinner pyro- technics, will act as toastmaster and It IS certain that the meeting will not lag under his direction.
 One of the most interesting parts of the program will be the awarding of the baseball cup. George H. by son, of Porter and Dyson's, will pre- sent a silver cup to the association to be awarded to the winner of the baseball championship. The. associa- uon authorities will then award it to the members of the South church team, who won the pennant in the baseball league last spring. The cup must be won a number of seasons before it becomes the permanent property of any one team
 Aside from these features of the program, there will be responses from the association officials and represen- tatives of the different teams entered in the league. The principal speaker of the evening has not yet been se- cured.
 The hour of the banquet has been placed at 6:30, and it is believed that the program will be over by 8 o'clock so that it will be possible for many to come. Chairman J. G. Buckley of the committee on arrange ments announces that only 15O tickets have been issued, twenty-five to a church, and from present indications it looks as if few tickets will be left by the end of this week.

 Commission of Nine. Another recommendation of the governor, that of consolidating state and county boards, in the interests of efficiency and elimination of waste, was in a bill by Representative Hyde, providing for appointment of a com 1 mission of nine, a majority to be mem bers of the general assembly to in vestigate the subject and make a re- port before April l. On the question of immediate passage, which had been requested MT. Stoddard of Wood- bridge, claimed that there was no definite statement, as to payment of any com missioner. He offered an amendment providing that the com missioners should serve without pay but this was defeated after MT. Hyde had pointed out that the bill was drawn in the governors own words and no commissioner was entitled to compensation. In the discussion Mr. Griswold of Berlin said the bill was sweeping in it's provisions, as an in quiry into waste would mean an in quiry into the sewage problem of the state. He believed, however, in be- ing guided by the governors recom- mendation. The bill was passed. The house passed under suspensi on ] of the rules resolutions appoint ing Frank F.
