 The statement that i've must ad- dress ourselves immediately and as rapidly as possible to the recreation of great American merchant marine" in a discussion of the ship building act also brought much ap- plause.
 After saying that until the new banking and shipping laws were passed the hands of American busi- ness men were tied, the president dis cussed his ideas for the new tariff commission.
 We have admitted" he said, that on the one side and on the other side we were talking theories and manag- ing politics without sufficient knowl- edge of the facts upon which we were acting"
 He added that he hoped he could find men for the commission who would "see the facts and state them no matter whose opinion those facts contradict"

Keeps Her Children
 zn Pe1fect Health
Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin the Family Laxative for
 Many Years.

Mrs. Aug. Doellefeld of Carlyle, H., recently wrote to pr. Caldwell, at Monticello, Ill.,, that she has used Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin in her home for a number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in per- feet health.
 pr. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin is a. combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts on the bowels in an easy, natural way and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and mild, depend- able laxative, such as Dr. CaldwelPs Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It Is pleasant to the taste and children like 1t, and take it readily, while it is equally ef- fective for adults.
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid limitations and ineffective substitutes be sure you get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See

Ernest Herbert, one Of the Augusta
force Of railway mail clerks, was feeling
particularly good Thursday. and. as is
true in the case Of one OF the we'll adver-
tised beverages, there's a reason" Mr..
Herbert was out at Cobbosseecontee
Wednesday fishing for trout and salmon.
and though it is said that it took the
greater part Of the day to land fish.
that was the ultimate outcome Of the
trip and the fish was trout. Fish sto-
ries always have a way Of expanding as
they are passed along. and the story OF
his catch that was going round Thurs
day morning was that the trout was q
big" one, although mono Of those who
were telling the story were able to state
the weight of the fish. When, however,
Mr. Herbert was seen he modestly stated
that the trout weighed just one pound
and added that 1t was not the weight of
the fish that he was proud Of but the
fact that he had at last landed trout
out Of Cobbosseecontee-thath he had fish
ed the waters of the lake each spring
for the past IL years and that Wednes-
days trout was the first he had landed
there in all that time.
