Prot. Hertzdq Praises
 This Pe1fecf Laxative
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin an Ideal Remedy for Con-
 stipation. . se ',

In every family there is more or less occasion for laxative remedy. It is to meet this need that pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this mbination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin fulfills it's purpose is proven by it's place in thousands of American homes.
 Prof. F. J. c. Hertzog. the well known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St, Philadelphia, Pa. wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he has used Dr. Cald- wells Syrup: Pepsin in his household with excellent results and that he and his family consider it indeed friend iff need, and always keep bottle of it on hand.
 Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condi- ton that should never be neglected, |, Harsh cathartics and violent purga- tves should never be employed to re- lieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action. without gripping or other pain or discomfort; its freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.

LOCATING THE PATIENTS
Miss Odell Always Seeks Them Along
 Main Street Before Making Calls at
 Their HOmesI .....

,a = ,
 Before I go out on a days call" said Miss Odell of the Infant. Well fare station, Il always take a look in front of Main street stores for it al- ways saves time in the end. If I find any of my small patients in the fleet of baby carriages in front of those stores. I know. better than to waste my time in calling at those houses"
 There are. of course, many mothers already who are so anxious to profit by the advice of the milk station nurse that they remain at home for several days waiting for her call so that they may ask her all manner of questions about sick babies, well babies, thin babies fat babies, smiling babies and fretting babies, nursing babies and bottle babies: in fact, every conceiv- able question about every conceivable type of baby. There are people who say advice is very cheap but certain ly expert advice from trained nurse, especially schooled in the care of children is valuable thing and the mothers of this Ncity are not slow to take advantage of it.
 The New Britain milk station is supported by voluntary contributions, large and small and donors have perfect right to designate just how their gift shall be spent but many donors prefer to pay for expert ad-. vice for a perplexed young mother with a new baby rather than to foot the bill for a few quarts of milk which will simply tide the baby along for a week or two leaving the situa- tion for that particular baby exactly as it was before they made their gift.
 Better Babies is the slogan of the milk station and that is not accom- plished without a great deal more thought and care then goes into the making up of an occasional milk formula for an infant.
 The milk station is doing a broad, effective work for the babies of this city and is deserving of liberal sup port

 and Turn Over Pay to PrOba- " < tion Officer.

Given the opportunity by Judge James T. Meskill in police court today to choose between a good stiff jail sentence or immediately going to work and turning oyer his pay en- velope, weekly to be used for the sup port of wife and family, John Collins of SC Grove street accepted the latter, although he vigorously objected to the part making it mandatory that he turn over his pay to anyone but Mrs. Collins.

Robust and healthy appear ing. Collins showed a marked contrast to his wife. frail looking woman clearly showing the effects of care. Prosecuting Attorney George W. klett, in presenting the case, said that the aversion of the accused to the word work" and his fondness for alcohol ics have caused his family to be in
 
 necessities of life. Collins entered a plea of guilty to the charge of non- support. st
 III feeling resulting from refusal to grant the loan of sufficient money to meet the price of drink was alleged to have been the reason why Philip Hallinan of 47 Winter street assault ed Henry Ruskiewicz of 222 High street last night at Washington and Mrytle streets. They were staging a lively pugilistic exhibition when Po- liceman George W. Moffit came along oi1 his. way to headquarters to report for duty. Both were arrested and ar raigned on charges of mutual assault. Ruskiewicz contended that he was simply acting in self defense and had to defend himself. He was freed from the charges. Hallinan was fined $7 and costs after being severely questioned by Judge Meskill relative to his working.
