Found Simple Remedy
 That Relieved Child
Mild Laxatiue Compound Cor rects Stlbborn Case of
 Constipation.

An important duty that devolves on parents is the regulation of their chil- dren's bowels. Health in later life de- bends in large measure on early train ing and child should be taught from infancy to regular habits.
 When from any cause the bowel be- comes congested with stomach waste a mild laxative should be employed to open up the passage gently and carry off the congested mass. A most effec- tive remedy for this purpose is the combination of simple laxative herbs known as pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. w. D. Bulls, of Reed, Okla, used pr. Caldwelrs Syrup ~Pepsin for her baby boy. Harley Buren, Bulls, and says
 It did him more good than anything we have given him. His, bowels are very stubborn about acting, but they act easily every time | give him Dr. CaldWelfs Syrup Pepsip."
 Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin contains no opiate or narcotic drug and is a splendid remedy for children and older people as we'll. It has been on the market for more than twenty five years and is the family standby in

TO KEEP U. S. NAVY
 AHEAD OF GERMANY'S
Was the Object of the Policy Formu-
 lated in 1908.

Washington. Feb. 22-The object of the building policy formulated in 1905 by the navy general board, it was dis closed today before the house naval committee was to keep the United States ahead of Germany in the race for naval supremacy. The statement was made by Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger, a member of the general board, who explained that the policy had contemplated a fleet of AS first line battleships by 1909 to accomplish it's purpose.
 The statement did not go into the record of the hearing and Admiral Badger did not amplify it to show why the board had thought such a course necessary. The admiral was replying to a suggestion that the ob- ject of the ola policy, abandoned this year by the board for the first time, was to keep the American navy in second place. While that was the effect it had, he said. the real object was to keep ahead of Germany.
 This year the board fixed as its policy the creation of 1925 of a fleet equal to the most powerful afloat at that time. The committee did not go into the boards reasons for changing it's ideas beyond drawing out the ex- planation that the board believed . fleet ten per cent. superior to any fighting fierce that might be brought against it would be necessary to in- sure against the invasion of Ameri- can soil by an enemy.
 Under questioning by Representa- tive Kelley, Admiral Badger said the construction of three additional dread thoughts and eight battle cruisers would place the navy on a par with the capital ships of the German fleet today Germany now has p dread thoughts and eight battle cruisers, he said, according to the best available information, while the United States has all told 19 ships of the dread nought class built or building.

RURAL SCHOOL AND
 CHILD WELFARE METHODS
Alternately AssaiIed and Praised by
 Educators at Detroit Conferences.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 22.-Rural school and child welfare methods-chief top icS or discussion today-were alter nately assailed and praised by speak ganizations, allied with the National Educational Association, which are holding conferences here this week.
 Several speakers termed the ordi nary rural school a menace to the health of scholars. Other educators produced statistics in an effort to prove that graduates of country grade schools have made a better showing in more advanced educational institu- tions than have students from the city.
 Whether a child receives it's first real mental training from it's parents or from it's teachers, was another question which seemingly had many sides.
 The meetings of the National Coun- cil of Education were considered the most important on the progfam to- day. Seven other organizations met and discussed a wide range of topics.
 Adelaide s. Baylor of Indianapolis, state supervisor of home economies, speaking on race preservation, told the national council that one out of every 140 inhabitants of Indiana is an inmate of a charitable or correc- tive institution. She said there are 524 such institutions in Indiana and that they care for an average total of 10000 inmates.
 Of 2O,0OO,OO0 school children in the United States, 60.7 per cent. live in the country or towns of 2,0O0 or less, said Sherman c. Kingsley of Chicago, discussing National Welfare and Ru- ral Schools. He urged that q power full campaign for more sanitary rural schools he started and in common with other speakers, decided ''the popular notion that country scholars are healthier than those in the city, has been overturned. He urged medi- cal inspection in schools, dental clin- ics and agencies for relieving other defects"
 Compulsory education laws require children to sit from six to 10 years in the presence of the school teacher said MT. Kingsley. Medical inspec- ton has shown that about 60 per cent of all school children have physical defects which need correction" Hundreds of delegates to the vari- ous conferences met in joint sessior at a local auditorium tonight, whsCe a program had been arranged under the auspices of the National Depart ment of Superintendence. Nicholas | Murray Butler of New York, president | of Columbia college, was the princi- | pal speaker His subject was What Is l Going on in the World.
