Paris, Oct. 17.-The remoulding OF
French political methods after the war,
resulting in a concentration Of govern
ment, is predicted by Premier BRAND.
according to a conversation. the pre-
mier has had with friends which is re-
capitulated in the Figaro by Alfred Ca
pus, the dramatist and member OF the
French Academy. M. Capus quotes the
premier as saying:
Il do not pretend to do more than
sketch the main outline. AS the re-
suit of lessons which 1t cannot escape.
1 believe our country will resume in
stinctively the notion of/direct council
and authority There will be this diff
ference, that. while under past regimes
this authority was imposed upon 1t his
torically and by custom. today it Is
the country itself which demands 1t
from its elected representatives as well
as a more firm and concentrated direc-
ton of its business.

yesterday. The Baracouta made two
trips, in fact, going down the inside
route early in the morning and return
ing shortly before noon with several
new people on board. 1t was believed
that she went to South ,Freeport and
took on a contingent from Shiloh, and
word was received from that place last
evening that she did put in there at 10
A. NJ, though The Press informant said
that her small boat landed about q doz-
en- folks at the public landing. after
which they started for the hilltop. This
man knew nothing about any party COM
ing down from Shiloh to go on board
the vessel, and he reported that the
Coronet was not observed at South Free
port during the day. The Coronet went
outside, however, at 2 O'Clock, being
lowed by the Barracuda, and the craft
had not returned at a@late hour last
night. They passed through the main
ship channel, as though they were bound
to the westward, but once clear Of Ram
island, they swung of to the eastward
and appeared to be heading for South
Freeport or Rockland.
The Barracouto and Coronet have
been in the harbor for about hve years,
anchored in virtually the Same location
during all that time, and the sea far
ing men are of the opinion that they
may have gone for good. At least, they
hope that this is true.

combination Of simple laxative herbs

proven by its place in thousands OF
American homes. <,
Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog. the well

Caldwell that he has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in his. household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider 1t indeed friend
in need, and always keep a bottle Of it
on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is q condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation. because the very vio-
lence of their action shocks the entire
system A mild laxative. such as DIR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far prefer
able, being mild and gentle in it's ac-
ton, without gripping or other pain or
discomfort: it's freedom from all OPT
