Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress Of modern medical
science b perhaps no more force
fully evident than in the simplify
ing of many OF the old time RENE
dies OF past generations. For in
stance, the harsh cathartics and
violent purgatives used by our
forefathers to relieve constipa-
ton are now known to be not only
unnecessary but really harmful.
Constipation can be more effective
ly relieved without the discomfort
and pain these old-time remedies
occasion.
A combination Of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin. sold In
drug stores under the name OF Dr..
Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin Is
most effective. yet mild and pleas
ant. It is absolutely free from
opiates and narcotics and equally
as desirable remedy for the
tiniest babe as for rugged man
hood. A free trial bottle can be
obtained by writing to DR.. w. B.

Hundreds of Greek Ships, Thousands Sailors Tied
 Up by the Order.
DETERMINED ACTION
 TO COERCE GREEKS
England, France and Italy Join in De- mand That Greece Abandon Uncer- tain Attitude, and Promise She'll
 Not Disarm Entente Troops.

Lcndon, Nov. 17.-1t is officially announced that no further loading of Greek ships in British ports will be permitted.
 A dispatch from Liverpool denies that :he Greek ships a., that port have been seized. The stopping of loading, according to the Liverpool authori- ties, is merely intended as a warning to Greece.
 Sixty ships and 1900 Greek sailors at Liverpool alcne' are affected by the order.
 The French goverNT(ent has order ed that no further shipments for Greece be accepted at Marseilles. England. France and Italy have now joined in demand that Greece abandon her uncertain attitude, anu state definitely that she will not at- tempt to disarm Servians or the en- tente troops if either should be forced l to retreat oGre'ek territory. s4 No more coersive argument could be used perhaps than the embargo on Greek shipping in British and French ports. The Greek shipping companies are making enormous profits on war shipment and a cessation of this traffic even for few days will mean a serious loss to Greek merchants. | An Athens correspond today re- ports that the Greek government seems inclined ito adopt more friendly attitude toward the entente \ powers. King Constantine has asked Earl Kitchener, British secretary of war, now at Gallipoli, to cali on him to discuss the situation. zs
 Denys Cochin, member of the French cabinet, is now in Athens. Either he or Earl Kitchener, or both, will impress upon the Greek king the urgent necessity for a definite state- ment on the Greek plans. l Greece Not a Belgium.
 Discussing the attitude of Greece. the correspondent at Saloniki of the Paris Journal says < #
 "Do not expect to find Greece a second Belgium. Greece will no; hesitate' to permit passage by the enemy through her territory as she now permits ours. We must defend ourselves alon= and un'aided agains. the triple attack of the Germans, Bulgarians and Turks. The enemy's plan is being carried out and may be realized repidly. The German fleet Of submarines in the Mediterranean has ust been quintupled.

h0SPIAAL SHIP HITS MINE, AND
 S5 LIVES LOST
Vessel Going to Rescue Wounded, Also Strikes
 German Mine and Sinks.

London, Nov. 17.-Eighty lives were lost by the sinking of the British hospital ship Anglia in the English channel today, according to an an- nouncement by the war office.
 The Anglia was sunk by mine. the announcement states. Another ship prnceeding to the rescue was sunk by another mine.
 According to reports circulated in the house of commons this afternoon, the Anglia's passengers consisted mostly of wounded men returning from the front.
 There were 13 officers and 372 men of other rank on board. The official announcement states that about 300 of these were saved by patrol boat.
 Earlier reports had it that the Anglia was torpedoed by subma- rine. The official announcement that the disaster was due to mine makes it appear that the Germans have re- gently been sowing the channel with fresh mines.
