This Simple Laxative
A Household Necessity
Dr.CaldwePs Syrup Pepsin
Should Haze a Place in g
Every Home

Constipation, or inaction OF the
bowels, condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequency, is the direct cause of much
disease When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stom-
ach, foul gases and poisons are gen
Grated, and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to at
tack.
Various remedies to relieve consti-
patton are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that arc harsh and violent in
their action and shock the system.
The most effective remedy is the
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran
DIVINE, w. Va, who has represented
his district in the State Legislature
for six years, writes that he uses DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin and finds it
splendid laxative, easy to take and
mild, yet positive, in its action, and
that it should be in every household
for use when needed.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pcpsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a
bottle. 1t contains no opiate or mar
cotic drug, does not grippe, and is

CHINA'S LABOR MAY PLAY PART
 IN GREAT WAR

PEKIN, Oct. 2. - Correspondence of the Associated Press).-China's first and most important contribution to the cause of the Eentente Allies in the war doubtless will be laborers.
 Before China joined in the war against Germany and Austria, she had already supplied more than 100000 Iaborers to France, England and Rus sia. Coolies for agricultural work and dock work have been going to Western Europe for nearly two years. Russia has also been drawing from Chioa's inexheustible supply of labor for SiDc- nan mines and Siberian farms.
 Of the 4OO,OOO,OOO persons in China it is estimated that at least 4O,OOO,OOO are men capable of carrying arms or doing some sort of labor directly con- nected with the war.

GERMANY, HE DECLARES, IS
 IN DISTRESS

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS, October 18th. - A prisoner cap tured in an air raid last night claimed Germany could not be conquered in fight, but would be forced to make peace because of the failure to obtain supplies.
 He says that Germany needs rub ber and cotton and copper, and be- cause of the lack of these munition supplies, the effect would soon be felt on all the fighting fronts. The Ger mans, he also said, are short of many agsolute food necessities, although government action had been taken early in the war for strict regulation of all food products.
 The prisoner was taken in an enemy raid attempted in the aviation sector last night. The raid was discovered by the Canadian aimen and before the enemy reached close quarters they were driven off with severe casualties.

WHEAT FROM SIBERIA MAY
 REACH U. s.

CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, Oct. 8, Correspondence of Associated Press) -Manchmian and Siberian wheat probably will be exported to America to replace American wheat shipped to the Entente Allies in Europe. Be cause of the lack Of locomotives and cars, it is impossible to send the wheat surplus from eastern Asia into Euro pean Russia. At scores of railway stations in Siberia and Manchuria, sacks of wheat only slightly protected by temporary sheds are rapidly dete- riorating.
 Agents of the United States gov ernment have been inspecting the wheat and soy beans, which are await ing transportation, and it is probable that the wheat and beans within req sonable distance of tidewater will be diverted to America.
 There are many flour mills in Si- beria and Manchuria. European Rus sia lacks milling facilities. Plans are under consideration for the removal of some of the mills from western Si- beria to centers in southern Russia, where large quantities of wheat are available.
