An Effective Laxative
For GroWing Childreni
DR.. CaldweRs Syrup Pepsin
Highly Recommended as
a Family Remedy

In children the slightest irregular
ity of the bowels has a tendency to
disturb the entire digestive system,
and unless promptly remedied invites
serious illness. The experienced moth
er knows that by training her children
to regularity in this respect. and when
occasion arises administering a mild
laxative, she will have little need for
the Doctors services.
Mrs. Leo Weigand, 1851 Central Ave,
N. s., Pittsburg, Pa, whose two boys,
Frank and Joseph, are shown in the il
lustration, writes that she has found
DR.. CaldwelFs Syrup Pepsin most eff
fective laxative, not only for the chill
dren but also for herself, and that she
will always keep it in the house to use
when needed. DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin is a combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin that acts easily
and naturally, without gripping or other
pain or discomfort. 1t is pleasant to
taste so that children like it, and is
equally effective on the strongest con-
stitution-

WASHINGTON. Jan. SENATOR
Hitchcock's resolution to have the SEN
ate indorse President wilson's peace
note came up again In the senate today
and the Nebraska senator urged its
adoption.
''In framing this resolution" he said,
81 have carefully avoided reference 20
those portions of the presidents note
which might provoke controversy.
''I realize there may be two opinions
as to some of the presidents sugges-
tions, but I do not see how there can be
two opinions on a simple proposition
that in tn interest of humanity and
civilization this country has appealed
to nations at war to state terms upon
which peace might be made"
Senator Hitchcock said there was re-
cent precedent for the presidents ac-
ton and referred to former President
Roosevelts peace overtures to end the
Russo-Japanese war.
The resolution went over for discus
sion again tomorrow at the request of
Senator Hitchcock, it's author, after a
spirited debate in which Senators Lodge
and Borah, Republicans, opposed action
at this time.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, said
he was gratified Senator Stone was urg-
ing immediate consideration of the reso-
luton.
cit clearly states what the senate IS
asked to do" he said. cit only ap-
proves and strongly indorses the presi-
dents action in sending the note asking
that terms be stated by the belliger-
ents.
There can be no step toward peace
without such a statement from either
side.
"The door seemed little ajar looking
toward peace and the president sought
to prevent that door from swinging hard
and fast
Neutral nations have the right to
express themselves" continued Senator
Smith. "Our rights have been disre-
garded. We have protested. We have
not contemplated becoming a party to
the war, 1 feel sure"
Senator Borah interrupted to state
that Germany has replied to the presi-
dents note and the allies reply is
probably on the way.
what possible good can be accom-
plished by the senate's resolution"
Senator Borah asked. "It would not
accelerate a reply and neither would
it change it,"
Senator Smith replied that it would
be an expression by the senate of an
earnest desire for peace and that falIure
to pass the resolution would seem TO
me to indicate lack of interest
Seantor Smith went on to say that the
answers to the presidents note from
some of the warning nations have not all
been completed, and that none of them
are final answers; that the whole sub
ject is left open.
"Our rights as neutrals have been dis
regarded over and over again and if the
war continues they will continue to be
disregarded," continued Senator Smith.
81 think we have dozen right to pro-
test. L think that the neutral nations
