 M0fher Had Ever Used
Dr.. CaldDeU's Su-up Pepsi,, Relieues Baby When Other
 Medicines Failed.

There is nothing so necessary to a child's health and comfort as regu- larity Of the bowels. All children are especially susceptible to stomach trouble and any overstrain of the sem sitive organs has a tendency to ob- struct elimination. This condition is responsible for much of the illness of childhood.
 To relieve constipation a mild laxa- tive should be, employed. Cathartics and purgatives are violent in their ac- ton and should be avoided. Mrs. AL fred Du Bois, Mt. Holly, N. J., says pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is with out doubt the most effective remedy for contipation she has ever used and that it is the only remedy she could find for her baby. Little Earl was badly constipated during his first year and nothing she tried seemed to help him until she got a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Now he is fine. strong, healthy boy, and she thanks Dr. Caldwell for it.
 pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, free from opiates or nar- cotic drugs; it acts gently without griping or other discomfort, and ap- peals to children because of its pleas

 Several units were reduced 70 per cent by malaria The troops had often to cut their way for miles through almost impenetrable brush, constant ly engaging the enemy in his prepared rearguard positions. There were serious transport and supply difficulties, and frequent shortages of water for men and horses. The railway lines were under water for long distances, and the attention of thousands of laborers was constantly required to prevent its com plete disappearance.
 As soon as the rains abated, Shuts took in hand the task of clearing the enemy from the Pare and Usambra Mountains. The rapidity of the ad vance exceeded expectations. The Usambra was reached in ten days over 130 miles of trackless country Sev eral columns were operating at this time, and there were constant engage ments with the enemy. When Kanga Mountains was reached the transport had got to the utmost radius of its and the troops operating here had been on half raLtions for some time.
 While these troops were resting and refitting, General Shuts arranged for a landing near Tanga and a simultan- eous attack on thot part by land and sea. Fighting proceeded almost in the of the Great Lakes, where the advance of the Belgian forces was assisted. The largest island in Lake Victoria was attacked and captured. It produced much of the rice which form ed the staple diet of the enemy's ma tive troops.

 That the south has not exactly stood ciate it's position and what was need ed to solve the problem is not to be .intimated, but it is a question whether it has done all that it could or should under the circumstances. That 1t has not is accentuated by a recent statement on the part of Presi- dent Graham of the University of North Carolina to the effect that there are 100 men in the state of North Car olina, who could. without personal sacrifices, make important contribu- tfons to the support of the university.
 This indicates very plainly that the south is depending too much upon the assistance of others. and what is true of one state is undoubtedly true of others. Such being the case the as- sertion upon the part of the head of the University of North Carolina ought to command more than passing atten- ton. It offers a suggestion to those who can help but do not. which ought to cause increased attention to the sup port of the educational institutions for if the people of a state take any pride at all in the citizenship thereof, it must be realized that there is no bet ter way of placing it on a higher level than through education.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Among the bills presented at Hart ford and favored by the mayor is one which gives the Common Council power to fix all the salaries of public servants in Bridgeport at will. Any doubt as to the purpose in connection with this fixing is removed by the &C., ton of the tax board, which begins by increasing the mayor to $5,00o, and others proportionately, even the city auditor, after he had declared that he considered his present salary adequate.
 The tax board appreciates the criti- cism that will attach to this wholesale raid upon the treasury, and is deter mined the auditor shall share in the blame, whether he wants to or not. The board of aldermen is getting ready for a jubilee. High powered cars, cold bottles and warm birds, taken at convenient road houses are going to be easier to get, pretty soon. That is, they are if the general assembly as- sents to this wholesale salary raid.- Bridgeport Farmer.

Investigation of New Jerseys pris- onslave system (Connecttcut has one just like it) discloses this interesting fact: Rate paid by the state for ser vices of prisoners employed on public roads or other public projects, $1.45 a day. Rate paid of prison contractors for prisoners employed in making chairs or other contract privileges, S0.35 a day. Consider these figures for they tell the whole story and phil oscphy of the prison slave e-contract system at a glance. That philosophy briefly expressed, is this: Discourage the state from employing it's charges on public roads, by maintaining a high price for services. Distribute the hon. est graft to prison contractors by farming out the services of convicts for a song."

The general assembly will spend the next few months considering 1,700 proposed new laws. Most of them are unnecessarily, some are dupli- harmful. The motive behind much of this footless legislation is the desire of the individual solon to have some measures past to which he can point as part of his record. Sometimes a law exists which will serve the pur- pose as well or better, but the general assembly obligingly passes another to gratify this desire. Some day an in novator will go to Hartford and win deathless fame by not proposing any new laws of his own, but introducing a bill to repeal a few hundred old Iaws.-Waterbury Republican.

NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN
They Are Making Marked Success as
Secretaries and Earn Very
r. Good Salaries.

Evidence of rapid strides toward the
creation Of a new profession offering a
good field for women is set forth in an
article in the New York Evening Post
by Raymond G. Fuller, director of the
secretarial department of the Russell
Sage College of Practical Arts at Troy,
N. Y. He points out that government
statistics and the reports of such Or
carnations as the international bureau
of occupations, New York; the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union
of Boston, and the bureau Of occupa-
tons for trained women Of Philadel-
phia show that secretarial work is "be-
coming one of the most attractive ave-
nues Of vocational choice among coll
lege women" He states that Simmons
college in Boston is the only institu-
ton of collegiate standing which offers
n complete secretarial course, and that
the demand for it's graduates is so
great that other colleges are rapidly
falling in line.
In New York salaries begin at from
$12 to SIS a week, increase to from
$500 to $1,000 a year at the end Of
two years, and to from $500 to 81, 800
q year within another year or two, or
as soon as the secretary has definitely
lifted herself from the stenographer
class and shown real interest in the
affairs of her employer, ability to grasp
details and attend to them without de-
lay and has developed a certain degree
of judgment. Twenty per cent of the
graduates Of the secretarial depart
ment Of Simmons go into business oc-
equations, 10 to Is per cent become
teachers, and the rest find employment
with lawyers, professors, doctors and
other individuals, and clubs, settlement

flies. ghey have a strong tendency to
go with air currents between so and
100 degrees. This explains why flies
are so bad in hot weather. when 1t is
about to rain. The heat usually
ranges upward toward 100, and the air
travels along too slowly to cause the
vapor in 1t to evaporate. The heat,
