Parents Should KnOw
this Splendid Remedy
SimpIe Laxative Compound Helps
to Correct Constipation IN
Children.

With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the pa
rents to administer a remedy. Cathar-
tics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tenn
porary relief while their violent ae-
tion shocks tke system unduly. Mrs.
Eva F. Gaff, 5I7 10th ST.. Washing
tom. D. c., says that her little girl.
Marie, had been subject to eonstips-
tion. and that she found DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin the best remedy
because of its mildness, and now al
WAYS keeps a bottle of it in the house.
DR.. 'Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs
of any kind, and is an ideal remedy
for children because of its mild ac-
tion and positive effect. Its use tends
to strengthen the impaired bowel ae-
tion and restore normal regularity.

The splendid reception accorded WILL
lam Gillette's revival Of Secret Service"
at the National Theater last evening could
have been only q qualification to the &C
tor-dramatist. and showed that this
absorbing tale Of love and adventure In
war time has lost none Of its fascina-
ton.
1t will be recalled that nineteen years
have elapsed since Mr.. Gillette first pre-
sented the melodrama, and that It was
Immediately recognized as a most inpor-

of the civil war period. The play tells

would be an impertinence to repeat them.
On the acting side, the evening was most
pleasant. As Mr. Gillette displayed once
more his finished performance Of the
hero-spy who failed in his mission be-
cause OF his love for a daughter Of the
Confederacy, there Is not much to be
added to the volumes OF critical comment
that have already been written In regard
to II.
Edwin Mordant was Arrelsford. the
Confederate spy. and the scene IN the
telegraph office between the two player
just mentioned was given full value and
effectiveness. Irene Haisman was pure
delight as Caroline Milford, from across
the street," Helen Freeman. the Southern
girl who loved the Union spy. and Grace
Reals, Southern matron to the life.
All the roles were capably handled
however Stewart Robbins was notably
good as the telegraph operator. and Jo-
seph Brennan could be depended upon fol-
a correct portraiture OF the Confederate
| Gen. Randolph. Marion Abbott as Mar
tina. and H G. Bates as Jonas, the col.
ored servants who play such an important
part in the story. were also worthy oi

London, July 30-According to The

that Turkey mas only a months stock

Italians believe the Allies will take the
Dardanelles in relatively short time
if Bulgaria and Rumania act ener-
getically against contraband.

"The Daily News" says, have begun to
construct a railway line in hot haste
between Zungulduck, on the Black Sea,
the coal port which has been repeatedly
shelled by the Russians, and Ada Ba-
Ear, a town near the head of the Gulf
of Ismid in the Sea of Marmora. This
is for purposes of transporting coal,
owing to the difficulty of doing do by
sea. Five thousand Greeks and Ar
menians are engaged on the work under
the supervision of German engineers
and surveyors.
Six heavy calibre batteries were
placed on the Tchataldja lines for the
defence of Constantinople. The Sew
enth and Ninth divisions of the Third
Corps. together with the remnants of
the First, have been taken from the
Dardanelles and sent TO Erzerum.
