JACOB JONES is
VICTIM OF
MISSILE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The Amer
lean destroyer, Jacob Jones, was tor
pedoed and sunk in the war zone
Thursday with the loss of large part
of the crew.
Thirty-seven survivors were taken
off in RATS. The sinking occurred the
9Th of December at eight O'Clock at
night, while the ship was on patrol
duty
She was commanded by Lieutenant
Commander David Worth Bagley, bro
Their of Mrs. Josephus Daniels, the
wife Of the Secretary Of the Navy.
Commander Bagley's brother was the
first American officer killed in the
Spanish American war.
The Jones' peace time complement
was five petty officers and eighty-seven
men. She was one of the newest and
largest of the American destroyers.
She was three hundred and ten feet
long and was completed in nineteen
and sixteen.
This disaster to the Jacob Jones
brings to Americans the first naval
loss of great consequence since the
country entered the war No details
came in Admiral Sims report, but the
apparent large loss of life indicates
that the torpedo made fair hit and
that the destroyer was blown fairly
in two.

 This PelJect Laxative
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin an Ideal
 Remedy for Con- eN stipatiOn

In every family there is more or less occasion for d laxative remedy. It is to meet this need that Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this combination 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 pr. 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 a friend ir need, and always keep a bottle of 1t on hand.
 " Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is condi- ton that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purga- lives should never be employed to re- ieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable, being mild and gentle in Its action. without griping or other pain or discomfort; it's freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

Tell your interesting friend you are so jealously guarding," she had said that it may be years before I have the opportunity of repayinlg her fol her courtesy, but pay ~ my debt surely will!''
 But l had no intention of confid- ing my fears to Dicky. I had no de- sire to have him think me foolishly timorous, something which my own common sense told me I was fast be- coming.
 A Farewell Kiss.
 So I hastened to modify the sharp ness of my reply to Dicky.
 You know I shall be awfully glad to entertain MT. Savarin, and as for your slang. I'm getting ca1loused to that'-I shot him a mischievous. smiling glance-"and I deny that I was looking glum. I was simply wondering if there could be anything the matter with your mother. Re- member, we have had no message from her save that first postcard since we left" "
 If you had known her as long as I have you'd have been surprised to, have received that" Dcky returned carelessly. '"The, mater only writes letters when she is in royal good humor, and you know she did not exactly approve of this little expedi- tion of ours, so don't worry your head about her.
 He drew his chair up closer to mine and laid his arm across my shoulders. Let's forget mothers, romantic artists, picturesque gangs of picture thieves-everything except our two selves," he said, bending his face to mine with the overlook in his eyes that thrills me anew each time I see it as it did when I first caught a glimpse of it in the beautiful delirious days before my marriage.
 I nestled costly against his arm for answer. There. were few people near us, for the crisp. autumn air which Dicky and I found so exhilarating seemed to prove deterrent to most of the voyagers, who huddled in the parlors downstairs
 think shall never forget that return trip down, the Hudson with Dicky. The. big vessel glided as smoothly and noiselessly along as if she were a fairy ship drifting with us toward a land of enchantment, and this effect of unreality was heightened as the early autumn twilight melted into darkness, and. lights began to flash from distant farmhouses and ham1ets tucked away-in the shelter of the highlands bordering the river.
 As the boat dropped farther down the river the lights increased in num- Der and brilliancy until along the last miles of the Journey We seemed to pass through towering cliffs strung with stars, so brilliantly did the lights in the apartment buildings and fact ories gleam. -.-
 We sat hand in hand. Dicky and I, revelling in the beauty of the specta- . c1e. As the boat neared the dock and we stood up to go downstairs, Dicky laid detaining hand on my arm and drew me into the shelter of one of the 1ifeboats.
 "Give me a kiss for tho end Of a perfect day. sweetheart he said, and clasping me closely, pressed a kiss upon my lips that drove all my foolish terrors away. I felt, as might little child, that nothing could get me- , if Dicky were only near
