Most Effective Remedy
Mother Had EUer Used
Or. caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieves
Baby When Other Medicines
Failed.

There is nothing so necessary 10 a
child's health and comfort as regular
ity OF the bowels. All children are
especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any overstrain of the SEN
sitive organs has a tendency to OBJ
struct elimination. This condition is
responsible for much of the illness OF
childhood
To relieve constipation mild lax
alive should be employed. Cath
artics and purgatives are violent in
their action and should be avoided
Mrs. Alfred Du Bots, Mt. Holly, N. j.,
says Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is
without doubt the most effective rem
edy for constipation 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 until she got bottle of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. Now he is a
nne boy, and she thanks Dr. Caldwell
for It.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, free from opiates or mar
cotio drugs; it ects gently without
gripping or other discomfort, and APP
peals to children because of its pleas

MARY PlcKFoRD's NEW PICTURE
LESS Than the Dust" 81 the Harte
Theatre Today.

LESS Than the Dust 81 the Harte
Theatre Today.
All the quaintness. the winsome-
ness and the ROBUSTNESS OF smile
that made her Americas Sweet
heart" have been given ample play
by Mary Pickford in her new picture.
Less Than the Dust" at the Harte
theatre today.
In her conception of the heroine
Miss Pickford takes full advantage Of
the opportunities offered for the dis
play of the whole run of emotions
from tear compelling pathos to the
we'll known ability OF the wee star for
extracting clean and wholesome fun
from the situations provided by the
author.
The scenes of the picture are laid in
india and England and are all of great
beauty The East Indian environ
ment Is especially interesting and pic
turesque in that the splendid direct
ing has brought to the screen an I'M
mistakable atmosphere and under
standing of the lives and customs of
the people.
Miss Pickford plays the part of a
little castaway who is deserted in In
dio by her father, an English officer
who has become a social derelict.
She is adopted by a sword maker and
reared as a native OF the lower caste
less than the dust. During IN up
rising of the natives and an attack on
the troops she saves the life of
young officer, and here begins a ten
der love story that runs through the
picture.
The part is admirably blended for
the delightful comedy and tender
emotions that always mark Mary
Pickfords creations, and it will be
role that will soon take its place
among the others in the memories of
her host and admirers.

do you know you can tell mans

sition.'
