Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Laxative
DR.. ColdwelPs Syrup Pepsin
an Ideal Remedy for
Constipation

In every family there is more or
less occasion for laxative remedy. 1t
is to meet this need that DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is prepared and
that this combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin fulflls its pur-
pose is proven by its place in thou
sands of American homes.
Prof. F. J. c. Hertzog, the we'll
known linguist, 234l North Orianna
ST., Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to DR..
Caldwell that he has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results aod that he and
his family consider it indeed a friend
in need and always keep bottle Of
it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation, because the very vio-
lence of their action shocks the entire
system. A mild laxative, such as DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, is far pref
cradle, being mild and gentle in its
action, without gripping or other pain
or discomfort; its freedom from all
opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an
ideal remedy for children.

WAR ECONOMY FOR

Stay at Home to Bid the Sol.

COSTLY AFFAIRS ARE TABOO

I'm this time OF stress and strain it
would be unbecoming in the Woman's

Let the women who are sending
boys and men to the front stay at
home to bid them goodbye. l don't
wish to throw a damper over any
party, but l must express myself
against entertaining" When it was
explained that the idea of the club
was only to have get-together meet
ing with such light refreshments as
punch or ice, Mrs. Edholm signifed
her approval of the plan.
1t was decided that the Birthday
party" will take the nature of an aft
ernoon reception and musicale at the

Should the war situation be quiet
enough to make it expedcnt, the exc

Orient Road Again
Placed in Hands
Of U. s. Receiver

Topeka, Kan, April 17.-(Special
Telegram 1.-The Kansas City, Mexico
& Orient Railroad Co. is again in the
hands of receiver. The petition of
the note holders committee last night
was filed in the federal court here.
Judge J. c. Pollock appointed w. T.
Kemper of Kansas City as receiver,
and fixed his bond at $4,000. Mr..
Kemper gave the bond and took
charge Of the property at midnight.
The Orient has been on the finan-
cial rocks ever since the European
war started. When it was taken out
of the hands of receiver the old
bondholders evolved a plan of reor-
ganization, which has failed. They is
sued 100000 in two-year gold notes
to pay the purchase price and take up
some other outstanding debts.
No part of the gold notes, all Of
which fell due on July |, 1916, has
been paid, nor has any interest been
paid since the day they fell due. An
cilliary proceedings will be filed in the
federal court of Missouri at Kansas
City and the federal court of Okla
kcma at Guthrie. The suit is directed
against the Orient lines in Kansas and
Oklahoma and against the stock and
bonds of the Orient in Texas and
the bonds of the Orient in Mexico.
The receivership suit is step for
a new plan of reorganization, which
D. w. Eaton, who filed the papers,
says will be worked out within the
next six months.
IF the new plan succeeds" said
he, "the Orient will have the smallest
capitalization per mile of any big
railroad in the United States"
