Mother Praises Remedy

Laxative.

Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation, or
inaction of the bowels. At the first in
dication Of irregularity In this import
ant function, relief should be afforded
promptly. A mild laxative should be
administered to gently carry off the
congested waste and leave the stomach
and bowels free to perform their al
lotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recommend
ed to relieve constipation, the combin-
alton Of staple laxative herbs with
pepsin. as prescribed by DR.. w. B.
Caldwell and sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant

and quickly brings the desired relief
in an easy, natural manner.
Mrs. G. j. Douglas. Mason, ILL.,, writes
that she cannot say enough in praise of
DIR. CALDWELL Syrup Pepsin as a de-
pendable family laxative. Little Mary
Eva had been badly constipated until
they tried DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which brought the first natural relief

the newspaperman's work. He was par
ticularly impressed with the importante
of the press in America and lamented
the fact that the newspapers did not
play such a role in Austria Hungary.
He voiced as well as manifested his be-
lief in democratic customs and declared
that he had deliberately urged two Of
his youngest sons. who had graduated
from the Austrian Military Academy
the day before. to take commissions In
ordinary line regiments instead of in
one Of the favorite guard organizations.

ANOTHER CRIME REVEALED.

While Pomeroy was in Jail. his moth
err moved from the house in South
Boston. The house was torn down and
white workmen were removing the
debris they unearthed the corpse of
Katie Curran, who had been lured into
the house and killed. Story after story
was heard after that of atrocities,
many of them probably true and others
perhaps fiction. for Pomeroy has been s
frightful subject for fanciful minds
since the time Of his arrest.
The sentence of the court that the
youthful murderer should be kept In
solitary confinement during the term
of his natural life has been strictly OBJ
served by the prison authorities dur
ing the past 40 years. The noted pri-
soner has never been allowed to mingle
with the other prisoners. For 40 years
he has been kept in cell without win
dows to see through. He has never
been permitted to take part in the re-
creations of the other prison inmates
and the cell Of his door has been kept
absolutely covered so that he could not
see the other prisoners - they passed

party hopes that some steps looking to-
ward the unification Of the temperance
and prohibition forces Of the nation for
the advancement of prohibition as q
political issue may be taken here next
Monday. On that day the National

The Prohibitionists are much encour-
aged by the recent statement Of DR.. p.
A. Baker. superintendent Of the Anti
Saloon league. pointing to national ac-
ton. Similar sentiments are expressed
by Virgil G. Hinshaw. chairman of the
Prohibition national committee, who
has given out statement setting forth
the present situation as follows:
Perhaps up to the present time con-
Iditions have not been suitable for uni
fication of all the temperance forces.
The time has always been ripe for CO.
ordination, but maybe not for unifica-
ton, inasmuch as each organization
seems to have been doing a very neces-
sary work of its own. But now / be-
lieve the time has come for a complete
unification of all the temperance and
prohibition organizations in America.
If we can get from 100000 to 100000

BRUTAL MURDERS ALLEGED.
The history of the crimes laid at the
door OF Pomeroy Is one of savage
atrocities, committed by a boy only III
his teens. Born in Charlestown in 1859.
according TO his own story of his life.
pomeroy was convicted of two brutal
murders in 1874 and on Sept. O. 1875.
he began his life sentence in prison.
1t was In 1872 that he moved with his
mother to South Boston, the scene of
most Of the crimes laid at his door At
that time he had already established n
reputation as bad boy" and had
served some time in a reformatory.
Shortly after Pomeroy's return from
the reform school a little girl named
