 This Simple Laxative
Dr. Cd1d,oell's Syrup pepsir, ReHeued Her Baby When
 Nothing Else Would

Little Max Pendergrast is now four years old. and a fine. healthy boy. When but tiny baby, in fact almost from birth, he suffered great deal from constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W.

CAN WON FALKENHAYN BE STOP.
 PED?

Whether such relief as the allies have planned for Rumania will meet the situation or not must be deter mined within a few days. General von Fa1kenhayn fully recognizing the fact that speed is an important factor In accomplishing his object is pushing his forces into the western end of Ru- mania in a most threatening and dis concerning manner. He is 6lennonstrat- Ing for the time being at least that he is driving back the Rumanians and Russians who are attempting to stop his advance, and even though the all lied forces in Greece have secured a temporary success in the capture of Monastir that Is a long way off and that army is sure to meet with rug ged resistance which it will require no little time to beat back.
 It therefore becomes question whether the efforts which are being put forth by the allies in the Balkans at the present time are going to be sufficient to overcome the steam roller drive of the German general. It will be remembered that when the allies attempted to send relief to the Serb- Ians who were holding onto the south- ern part of their country at Babuna Pass, the expedition got within close proximity to the Serbian army but the force was small and it did not arrive In time to prevent the defeat of the Serbs. with the result that all were forced to retreat upon Saloniki.
 Aid of course can be contributed from more than one direction in the Rumanian fight but much the same situation as existed in Serbia prevails there and unless the help gets there In time it will again be tooSlate and relief of that character is no help al III. .l.IsSE

COMPETING WITH FOREIGN
 SHIPS.

Reports all show that at the present titIle the shipyards of this country are working to their limit. That this business will continue for some time is indicated by the fact that at pres ent ships can be constructed as cheaply as they can be in England and as long as the war lasts this sit- uation can be depended upon to pre- vail. There has been a large loss in tonnage of merchantmen by the war and the problem now is to replace it. This American ship builders are talk ing advantage of but with no more inducements being offered American ship owners in the way of legislation than at present prevails. it must be realized that the close of the war is bound to have its effect.
 This is perhaps shown in no better way than the competition which is even now being experienced by Amer ican steamers plying between Phila- delphia and South American ports They are being underbid by English steamers on the same route and con- ditions are such that foreign steam ship lines are not governed by the same restrictions as are American ships. If this situation prevails with IHe war III pIOSIeSS IL CdH De dppfe- ciated that it will be even more one- sided after the war is over and ship ping returns to normal conditions New ships to handle this country's trade may be available but if the ton can be obtained in for eign bottoms at a lower rate the op- portunity for the Americans to com pete is not promising. This is be. cause foreign countries give more consideration to their merchant ma rine and it furnishes food for serious thought on the part of this country.

THE NEwLANDs COMMITTEE.

There cannot help being interest the country over in the investigation which has been started by the New lands committee in congress, so called because Senator Newlands is the chairman, for the purpose of getting at the bedrock facts concerning trans portation and transmission iu;h all forms, its cost and efficiency; land whether it could be done better under government than private ownership.
 This committee has gathered at Washington for the purpose of hear ing the facts which those interested are prepared to present They are to base their report, when the time comes for it, upon the evidence which has been presented to them. There will appear before them railroad presi- dents, members of chambers of com merce and industrial organizations members of the interstate commerce commission, economists. state railroad commissioners representatives of la Dor, shippers representatives o1 stockholders, state attorneys, promi- nent financiers and many others whom it is believed can or whom it is ex. pected will throw some light upon tn, matter.
 Such may be looked upon as e re- sponse to the demand for governmen ownership with the possibility that i the facts gathered show that the rail roads could be better operated by tn, government, or in some cases by tn states, through lease from the govern n1ent, such a recommendation will b. made. For that reason it is natura that much attention should be direct ed to the investigation. The hearing will therefore be closely fo1lowe, throughout the country and the re port will be looked forward to witt deep interest.

THE BORDER MUDDLE.

The situation has apparently been reached in connection with the at tempt to settle the Mexican border trouble where f1rmer policy is going 70 be followed by the American mem bers. It is realized under the present conditions that no progress is being made. Two of the Mexican delegates lppear to be favorable to the attitude .alren by the three Americans, but President Cabrera of the commission Bhows no disposition to depart from he idea that Mexico should have its way. He of course is the mouthpiece if General Carranza and what he in- lists upon must be accepted as mean hg that such is what Carranza de- hands.
 From all indications the American proposition is to withdraw the punitive Kpedftion, to have both sides of the border patroled by the respective na- hons and to give this country the light to pursue bandit gangs across he line should their action make ii necessary.
 Apparently Carranza does not look Fith favor upon this. He wants tc ave control of the border situation make more promises that he will look liter the situation and then funk out nst as he did following his recogni- lon and force this country to be al he mercy of Villa and others. Sucf rould give him a chance to use . hrge part of his army which he thinks necessary to protect Mexico from bershing for operations elsewhere but aasmuch as he has failed to show my very serious determination to TUT lown Villa under present conditions is control over this bandit chieftair hnnot be expected to be any more hccessful if Pershing's forces arr lithdrawn.

 It is a safe prediction that one of the matters which will come before the next session of the Connecticut legislature will be law regarding the headlights of automobiles. Recent inventions have so increased the pow CT of these lights that some of them are so dazzling as to affect the sight of persons looking into them to such an extent that numerous accidents are directly attributable to this cause. The man with the most powerful and the person who is unfortunate enough to face it must draw his car blindly into the gutter and wait for events to happen. There is no ques- ton about the need of some regula- tion as to dimning these powerful lights but just how the legislature will solve, the problem it is difficult to fore see. Hardly q day passes but that some case is reported in which auto mobiles have coliided headon as a result of their drivers being blinded by approaching headlights. Anyone
 who has driven car does not need
 to have the dangers of the present
 conditions pointed out to him. He has
 probably too often and too well real- ized the dangers that he faces every time he drives at night. The greatest support of such a regulation by the legislature will undoubtedly come from the automobiles themselves who directly affected and upon whom will in all probability, devolve the task of finding some method of solving the problem-Bridgepor Telegram.

One reason why the coal situation is so hard to endure is that there has been too little attention by landlords and tenants alike to making proper provision for the storage of a win ter's supply of coal.
