Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion of waste and refuse
from the stomach, fermenting in the
bowels, generates poisonous gases
that occasion distress and invite ser
ious illness. Health and comfort de-
mand that this congestion be speedily
relieved and the foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of cathar-
tic and purgative agents is overcome
by using the combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold
in drug stores under the name of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A dose at
night brings relief next morning,
without discomfort or inconvenience

 STRATEGICAL MOVE
British Artillery Said to be Doing Great Work For the Allies Along the Western Front of War.

LONDON. Feb. l2. The Allies are now turned to east Prussia where the German army. under the observation if not the command of Emperor Will jam. has taken the offensive and com pelled the Russians to eyacuate posi- tions east of the Mazurian lakes and To retire to their own territory The Russians refer 10 this as sthatcgi- cal retirement, but the German off cial report intimates that the appear ance in this district of a strong Ger man force was a surprise 10 the Rus sians and that the Germans captured 26.O0O prisoners. 20 cannon and 90 machine guns in addition 10 a lot Of war material
 If the German statement is correct the Russian revrse is as serious as that which the Muscovite forces sui fered in the same place early in the war The Germans resumed the of- fensive in RuR sian Poland on the right bank of the Lower Nistula and occupied the town of Sierpic, a short distance northeast of Flock Thus the chief battle ground of the east is transferred from lines west and south. west Of Warsaw to the north There is little change noted in other battle fronts
 Before the German official report was received in London. military men were inclined to look upon the Rus sian retirement is east Prussia as wise move. declaring it would compel the Germans to fight a battle on Rus sian territory and away from their strategical railways The army which the Germans flung SO suddenly into ! cast Prussia is believed to have num- bered 200. GOO and to have been made up of soldiers who have been fight ing on the Bzura and western fronts and of units of a new army which | has just completed training in cen tral Germany
 Battles in the Carpathiau noun taius continue but the general staff of neither of the coutending forces gives much information concerning the fighting, A lull continues to pre- vail in the western battle front where the fighting is confined to artillery duels and a couple of infantry attacks in Argonne and northwest of Nerdun. in which the Germans claim to have been successful A British eye wit ness in report of his observations on the western front says the British ,artiHery arm was greatly strength
