This Simple Laxative
Il Household Necessity
DR.. Cald,veU's Syrup Pepsin
Should Haze q Place in
EUery Home.

Constipation, or inaction of the
bowels, a condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequency, is the direct cause of much
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated,
and unless the congestion is quickly
relieved the system becomes weaken
ed and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve conSti-
patton are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores I'M
der the name of DIR. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin.
The Hon. John d. Keister of
Brandywine, w. Va, who has rep
resented his district in the State Legis-
lature for six years, writes that he
uses DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin and
finds it a splendid laxative, easy to
take and mild, yet positive, in it's ac-
ton, and that it should be in every
household for use when needed.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a
bottle. 1t contains no opiate or mar
cotic drug, does not grippe and is
recommended as q family laxative,
mild enough for the tiniest babe, yet

SOME THINGS THE SOLDIERS
IN EUROPE WOULD LIKE

The Women's Home Companion for
December prints an editorial in which
the writer says about a woman whom
she asked what the soldiers would
need:
She said, to begin with, that we
couldn't go far wrong if we sent a
man pair of suspenders Their sus-
penders are always wearing out!
"Shoestrings would be tremendously
appreciated; if a soldiers shoestring
breaks, and his shoe slips off just as
he is running across q field in a
shower of bullets, it may mean death.
"A candle; If man can SCOOP tinv
hole in the side of the trench, put his
candle into it, light up, and play a
game of cards with pal, or even look
at another human face. life is a little
gayer.
Safety pins! DO send safety pins,'
said Mrs. Duryea. When a boy has
no mother at hand to sew on button,
think OF the comfort of a safety pin!'
Each packet must have q pencil,
and some paper and envelopes, so that
q man can write a letter home. A
shirt; a pipe; piece of twine; a box
OF buttons; cake of soap"

NO NEED TO
FEAR Badness
Tells How TO Make Hair Grow Thick
and LustrOus Oh Bald and
Thin Spots

Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
a pity, says a hair specialist, who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness, and that anyone
who gives the hair just little atten-
tion should always have an abund-
ance of good, healthy hair. Dam
druff and dirt cause badness by clog
ginS the pores in the scalp, and Civ
ing the dandruff germs fertile ground
for prolific breeding.
The treatment is very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampooing at least
once in ten days and destroy the
dandruff germs by frequently applying
a little Of the real Partisan Sage, a
most efficient preparation that the
best druggists everywhere are now
recommending as one of the quickest
and safest treatments to surely sion
itching scalp and falling hair, remove
all dandruff and to properly nourish
and invigorate the hair roots.
Partisan Sage is also the discrim-
mating woman's favorite hair dress
ing because it gives her hair a soft
ness and luster that fascinate and
compel admiration. A generous, hot
tie costs but little from II. c. Ken
nedy who guarantees 1t to you.

CHILDREN HAPPY
Civic Club Plans Festivities
For Youngsters of Many
Nationalities

Festivities during the Christmas sea-
son were outlined by the Civic Club at
the monthly session in Trinity parish
house yesterday. The child welfare
committee will have charge of the
Christmas tree celebration and the
yearly treat to the children.
This committee is planning several
new features for the Yuletide cele-
bration and it is likely the affair this
season will surpass that of previous
years. One of the features will be
to have all nationalities of the borough
become interested in the affair. This
was an effort of the committee last
year, but failed. Only several differ
ent races turned out. A night will be
set apart during the week for each
race.
a report of the activities of the
meeting of the Cumberland Valley
Federation held recently in Mechanics

Mrs. Bethel also reported the good
work being carried on by the women

1T BUILT NE up"
SAYS H. M. WALTERS
Indigestion and n Torpid Liver Made
Him Headachy, Nervous and
Miserable All Over
TANLAC BRACED HIM UP

Folks who know H. NJ. Walters, who
has a profitable truck farm near Me-
chanicsburg, Pa, are congratulating
him on his improved appearance, all
of which, he says, is due to the bene-
ticial effects of Tanlac. the master
medicine.
Speaking of his almost miraculous
recovery, Mr.. Walters says, Il was
headachy, nervous and all run down
from the effects of a torpid liver and
nervous indigestion, and catarrh of the
stomach.
II was utterly miserable all the
time. l couldn't eat thing without
suffering intensely afterwards for my
stomach did not digest my food, but it
would just lie there in heavy lump
and throw off gas that would fill me
up so that it used to press against my
heart making it jump and pound until
L felt as if 1 could suffocate.
My nerves were on the ragged
edge. L was irritable, restless and
couldn't sleep at night except in
snatches and 1 would get up in the
mornings feeling tired, with pains in
my back and sort of stiff all over.
But | date my return to health
from the day that l read piece in the
paper about Tanlas helping a man
who suffered as 1 did. l bought a bot
tie of this wonderful medicine and il
helped me from the very first dose.
Now it has rid me of my headaches
my appetite is good and my food di-
gests as it should and l sleep fine al
night long, waking up fresh and rest
ed every morning. My nerves are in
fine shape. too, in fact, Tanlac has
built me up all over.
Tanlac, the famous reconStructiVe
tonic and invigorant is now being spe.
cially introduced here at Gorgas' drug
store where the Tanlac man is meet

merits of this master medicine.

Tor her working people than any other
State and we hope TO do still more.
ut is the business of the Common
wealth to make laws which will enable
its people when not at work to lead
clean, righteous lives. 1t has been
found that most of the crimes against
society have been committed in hours
of leisure. Already there are signs of
the movement to conserve the welfare
of the people at leisure in recreation
places and better houses in the cities
and the taking away from the people
of the dangers which surround them
when they are not at work. Public
sentiment is tending in that direction
and the laws will follow" ,
The Governors address, which fol-
lowed the opening of the conference
by Commissioner John Price Jackson,
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry, was followed with the most in
tense interest on the part of an audi
ence which filled the hall of the House.
The Governor spoke with an air of
earnestness and his introduction of the
new proposition of taking care of the
people in their hours of leisure i'm
pressed his hearers immensely.
The morning session was devoted to
the State compensation law, with a
general statement of results by Chair
man Harry a. Mackey, of the State
Compensation Board, followed by dis
cussions of the subject from the stand
point of employers. employees. medical
men. State officials and others.
"After carefully considering all that
has been done since this law went into
operation" said Mr.. Mackey. I'VE can
claim that ten months experience un-
der this law has thoroughly justified
its existence. We maintain that its
accomplishments have spelled success
for the scheme of compensation. We
confidently assert that the whole
proposition of humanitarian legislation
has been nightly advanced because
of the fact that Pennsylvania brain
and conscience have been added to
the forces behind this great move

showing how well satisfied some of

WIN the compensation law, Mr..
Mackey read letter dated October -
from the claim agent of one of the
Dig railroads, saying that his company
is pleased with the manner in which
1t is working out and that 1T is much
cheaper and more economical than
claims were under the common law

tion of this law" The company, this
agent said, had found that the op-
GRAFTON OF the law afforded q compare
tVely cheap means of adjusting dam
age claims and more liberal and Ger
tain means of compensation for the
employe through the elimination of
court costs and delay.
Mr.. Mackey gave the total number
or compensation cases since the law
went into effect, January /, 1916. as
65,S2O, of which 2.113 were fatal cases.

I'VE find said Mr.. Mackey. "in the
bituminous coal region there were
4,492 compensation cases, 1919 being
fatal. and in the anthracite region
6,95S compensation cases, S33 being
fatal. We also find that a majority of
the men killed are Americans and that
1t requires between $2,5OO and $4,000
to pay the dependents in fatal cases"
Discussion of the compensation act
was marked by some sharp criticisms
of casualty companies and railroads.
A. b. Farquhar. who spoke on the law
from the employers standpoint, said
that 1T should be kept as 1t is for two
years without being changed so that
there could be q thorough try-out.
Representative James IL. Maurer of
