VIII NeUer Be Without
This Simple Laxative
DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin Re
ieved Her Baby When Nothing
Else Would.

Little Max Pendergrast is now four
years old, and a fine healthy boy.
When but a tiny baby, in fact almost
from birth, he suffered great deal
from constipation. His mother, Mrs.
Carl w. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind,
heard of DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin,
obtained bottle of it from the drug
store, and with it was able to quickly
correct this condition.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild
in action and positive in effect. 1t
does not gripe or strain, and contains
no opiate or narcotic drug. 1t is the
ideal family laxative, mild and pleas
ant for baby, yet acting quickly on
the strongest constitution.
To avoid limitations and ineffective
substitutes be sure to ask for DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. See that fac

PARACHUTE PLUNGE
DROWNING PRELUDE
Boy Sinks as Crowd Following
Aeronaut Arrives.

NULLEY, n. J.. June 11.-when Jo-
seph Hines, fifteen, told his sister
Gertrude yesterday that he was going
swimming in a deep pond in the Avon
dale quarry she warned him OF fits
dangers and begged him to stay at
home.
"Oh, I'm a good swimmer, sister:
don't worry about me-" the boy re-
piled.
In less than an hour he slipped off
ledge Of rock jutting out into the
pond and sank. His companions say
he came up once and cried for help,
but before any OF them could reach
him he disappeared. His body has
not been recovered.
A few minutes before this little
tragedy there was a balloon ascension
from Hillside Park at Belleville, half
a mile away. As the aeronaut drop
ped from the balloon and his para
chute opened there was a cry from
the crowd that he would land in the
quarry pond. There was a wild rush
TO the quarry. the crowd arriving just
as Joseph sank. The aeronaut came
swirling down and landed a few feet
from the brink OF the pond, which in
places is more than $50 feet deep.
As there Is an ordinance in Belle
VILE prohibiting aeronauts landing in
its limits, this flight will be used
as a test case and threshed out in
the local court.

westinEhouse's Proposed Sale.

The proposed passing of control of
the British Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company. Ltd, which
carried with IL control OF the French
and Italian Westinghouse companies,
will have little effect on the Amer
lean companies OF this name. The
sale, which II is expected soon will
be effected, will give the American
companies a better opportunity to
concentrate on regular products after
the war. Incidentally, the WestinE-
house people are getting out OF NUM-
tions as rapidly as possibly for the
same reason. The untitled orders on
their books for their regular electri-
cal products have never been greater.
In confirming the report that the
control OF the foreign companies will
probably be sold - foreign interests
Guy z. Trip. chs,-nian Of the com
pany, said: 1--WE shall retain a minor
ity Interest in the new company. The
whole transaction IL based upon an
agreement under which the interests
Of the British companies and the
American Company will become more
closely allied to the end that the
engineering skill and organization of
both companies will be most effec-
lively put TO use in the markets OF
the world"

MISSIONARIES DESERT
FAR EAST FOR FRONT
Presbyterians Are Eager to Enlist,
Conference Is Informed.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE exodus
OF men from the Christian mission
fields OF China and India for France.
where they have gone to act as In
terpreters for British and French
commanders in conveying orders to
their soldiers who speak foreign
tongues. has left a big gap in the
ranks OF these workers. It is announc-
ed by the Rev. DR.. W. A. HaIsey, at
the conference OF the Presbyterian
and Reformed missionaries now In
progress here.
Workers EIIstInR.
The number OF men attending this
conference. II was further cited, is
far smaller than in any previous year
because scores OF workers are enlist
ing in the cause OF democracy, while
hundreds OF others are holding them
selves subject TO the draft. Continu-
ing DR.. Halsey said:
I'VE have had applications from
men In large numbers, but almost all
Of them, finding the situation as It
has developed within the past few
months, have asked US their duty

to the mission field or fight under
Uncle Sam for democracy. Our board
has replied that each man must decide
for himself, and has added that the
board will not put any hindrance in
the way of any man enllsting.
Uphold Wars AIm-
Furthermore. the board has expressed
the view that blows in France for demo-
racy are blows for Christ and right.
and that only as blows are struck in
France will It be possible later on to
strike blows in China and India Our
boards attitude Is reflected in its
action to loan its treasurer, Dwight
H. Day, to serve the United States
Government during the war under
Food Commissioner Hoover.
you see the best missionaries make
the best soldiers" added DR.. Halsey,
and that explains why our new mis-
sions this year are short OF men.
They are going to a Christian war,

ment and not under our board"

NEWSFORINVESTORS


Although IL has been stated and re-
stated that the money received by the
Government on Liberty loan account
is not to be locked in Treasury vaults
but is to be redeposited in the banks
and handled so as to prevent disturb
ance in the money market, many per-
sons apparently do not understand
that this is to be done. II those per-
sons will read the following para
graph from a recent speech of the
Secretary of the Treasury, doubtless
their lack of knowledge on the mat
ter will be removed:
I'VE are trying to spread the pay
ment for the bonds over as large a
period as possible. so that there shall
be no financial disturbance, and we
are going to redeposit the proceeds in
the banks upon some equitable plan
so that there shall be no interference
with business. This money is not 60
ing to be taken out OF the country.
All Of this financing is largely a mat
ter OF shifting credits; II Is not going
to involve any loss OF gold; It is not
going to involve any loss of values.
These moneys are going to be put
back into circulation, put back
promptly into the channels OF busi-
ness and circulated and recirculated
to take care OF the abnormal prosper
tty OF the country, q prosperity that
will be greater in the present year
than ever before in our history"
The records of modern industry and
agriculture contain no more spectacu-
lar exhibition than the increased val
uation OF cotton. From the and 7
cent mark. at which spot cotton was
sold in the South at the outbreak
OF the war, to the 23-cent mark, paid
for July contracts on the floor of
the New York Cotton Exchange last
week, is a difference between a poor
South and a rich one. Nor is there
evidence that the 23-cent mark Is the
maximum. Many experienced cotton
men predict IS and even 90 cent cot
ton, and when the backward con-
dition OF the crop and the extraordi-
nary demands for the staple home
and abroad are taken into consider
alton the % cent price and the IS and
so cent estimates do not appear so
unreasonable. Evidences are to be
found on every hand that the ma
jority OF the cotton contracts are
going into trade channels.
Mills cannot be stopped because OF
the increase in cotton prices. although
many OF the owners have been wise
enough to stock up heavily at lower
levels. Supply and demand-and
these factors alone-are responsible
for the high prices, and keen observ-
ers see nothing on the horizon but
decrease OF the supply and an increase
of the demand so long as the war
lasts. A Southern Rip Van Wrinkle
awakening today would stand aghast
at the rapid changes made in the
staple trade. but he would be no less
astonished than are the men of the
trade themselves who handle cotton
day after day and who have watched
Il increase in value until II takes al
most a bale OF money to buy q bale OF
cotton.

FAVoRS EXTRA WAR TAXES
Vote Of U. s. Chamber Of Commerce
Approves Proposed Inereasea.

A heavier income tax, additions to
the excess profits tax, a raise in first

measures was against an increase in
letter postage from TO 3 cents. Three
hundred and forty votes were cast in
opposition to this proposal, with s22
