Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Laxative
DR.. Ca!dweWs 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 fulhlls its pur-
pose is proven by its place in thou
sands OF American homes.
Prof. F. J. c. Hertzog, the well
known linquist, 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 and that he and
his family consider it indeed friend
in need, and always keep a bottle OF
it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause OF
much serious illness and is condi-
ton that should never be neglected.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should never be employed to re-
lieve constipation, because the very
violence OF their action shocks the
entire system. A mild laxative, such
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is far
preferable, being mild and gentle in
its action, without gripping or other
pain or discomfort; its freedom from
all opiate or narcotic drugs makes il
I an ideal remedy for children.

SHORTAGE OF AUTOS,
THE DEALERS WARN
Deliveries Will Be Always
Tardy and Sometimes Very
Uncertain, They Say.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED

That country dealers and sub
agents who want prompt delivery for
spring sales and motorists who want
the 1917 models when the season
opens will do we'll to place their or
ders in the first days of the twelfth
annual automobile show, which will
be held at the Auditorium February
70 to March 3, is the advice Of local
automobile men.
Last year the Omaha dealers is
sued warning that an automobile
shortage would occur shortly after
the motoring season opened. Many
thought the auto men alarmists or
that they were pulling neat sales
trick. But when summer arrived so
did the heralded car shortage and
many who ordered machines had to
wait month and more for deliveries.
The shortage Of automobiles will
be even more acute this year, declare
Omaha dealers, and this in addition
to the railroad Car shortage will make
deliveries very uncertain. So those
who intend to make purchases of cars,
whether retail or wholesale, are
urged to place their orders during the
automobile show and during the first
days, too, so that they will be sure
to receive their machines by the time
the snow is all gone.

able to find room in this years show

Grand Jury Works On
Washington'S BIRTHDAY

Seemingly the grand jury doesn't
care a rap whether Washington or
anyone else was born 1856 years ago
today. Leastwise, the members of
the. inquisitorial body, which is now
on its fourth week OF investigating and
indicting, reported as usual Thursday
morning and heard witnesses testi-
mony behind closed doors, notwith-
standing the fact that the rest of the
court house was practically deserted.
Whereas the popular opinion pre-
vailing in the last week was that the
grand jury is on its last legs, many
aver that the sixteen men OF mystery
are getting their second wind and are
planning long siege. Even the fact
that the report to the district judges
and county attorneys Office is being
prepared does not spell very much
according to certain court housers
who will believe that the grand Jury
has adjourned when they see the
grand jurors cash their warrants and
leave the building for the last time.
