FRETFUL BABIES
NEED A LAXATIVE

When the baby is cross and fretful
the chances are it is constipated and
that a mild laxative is all that is
necessary to make it comfortable and
happy. Inactive bowels are the cause
of a much discomfort to children as
to older people, and unless the condi-
ton is promptly relieved is very apt
to develop serious illness.
For children there is nothing that
will act more easily than the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores I'M
der the name of DIR. Caldwell Syrup
Pepsin. 1t does not grippe and is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs is
pleasant to the taste, and positively
effective; children lille it and take it
readily.
If you have never tried this sim
pie, inexpensive remedy, get a bottle
of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin from
your druggist and have it in the house
to use the next time any of the chill
dren seem out of sorts. A trial bot
tie can be obtained, free of charge,
by writing to DR.. w. B. Caldwell. ASS

EMPIRE

"Rimrock Jones'" the picture now
playing at the Empire theatre, intro
ducing Wallace Reid as picturesque
figure in the copper mining district
of Arizona. This picture was made
from the story by Dane Coolidge, the
scenario by Harvey F. Thew and
Frank X. Finnegan. The production
was directed by Donald Crisp. While
utterly different from anything Wal
lace Reid has done, "Rimrock Jones"
reflects the vital life and Characters
tics of a certain section of the Great
West. It's author, Dane Collidge is
quite at home in this environment,
as he has travelled through it many
times not only as writer in search
of material, but also as a naturalist
and photographer working for the
Smithsonian Institute and other scien-
tific organizations.
The splendid cast chosen to support
Mr.. Reid in "Rimrock Jones" includes
Ann Little, Charles Ogle. Paul Hurst
Guy Oliver, Ernest Joy and other
well known screen players. Miss
Little particularly has added more
than a little" to the success of the
production as Mary Fortune, the girl
stenographer who saves Rimrock's
mine and, stands valiantly by when all
seems dark and hopeless. Needless
to say a happy ending has been sup
piled and the photoplay winds VI
most satisfactorily even for the mos
eXacting taste. Other select screer

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES and AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

The offering of the Poll Players at
the New Lyric next week ''Ready
Money" was produced in London
last August a year ago at Sir Charles
wyndham's new theatre, and enjoyed
an eight months run, while the Amer
Jean company was having a remarka-
sic run at Maxine Elliot theatre, New
York That man cannot succeed
without a woman's help is one of the
morals to be drawn from the Mont
gomery comedy. Had not Stephen
Baird, the hero, been in love with the
right kind of girl he would never
have endured hardships and bent his
energies as he did to winning the for
tunes which brings him happiness and
q wife.
There appears very vital conn4ct
in the family-mother and daughter
at variance about thing that con-
Germs one deeply and the other almost
as much, and both holding a very
deep love for the other. Often the
reasons of the mother for Directing
to her daughtr's choice are not the
fairest, but that makes the conflict no
less hard for both. 1t is such a con-
that supplies a compelling love IN
terest to the modern romance, Ready
Money"
Ready Money has been h1ghly
praised as a smashing comedy hit by
the critics of New York, Chicago
London and Boston. When is was
produced in London last August a
wear ago, the Daily Express said: III
all the plays to come this season are
as happy and as interesting no play

WHY
Physical Defects Make
Children Backward

Neglected supervision of the child
by its parents before it enters school
is the subject of sharp rebuke and ad-
monition from Dr. Wilmer Krusen, d.
rector Of the department of public
health and charities of Philadelphia.
The general tendency of parents to
treat without concern the symptoms
of physical disorder displayed in their
children, especially so long as the lit
tie ones are able to romp about in all
the exuberance of youth. is taken seri-
ously to task by the director.
ut is universally agreed that the
personnel Of a military organization
must be physically fit to endure the
trials and hardships incident to its
particular Duties" says Doctor Krusen.
I'm a measure the same holds true
of the children who are to enter a new
school rolls, and who are to give up
their customary hours of play at
home for a seat in the classroom, to
be occupied for definite hours every
school day. A change of discipline
from that of the home to that of the
school, together with the labors of
study, brings about a complete mental
change in the attitude of the child.
Are your children prepared for this
change or are the older boys and girls
ready to take up their advanced
studies?
1.-THE eyes, ears, teeth, nose and
throat should receive special attention,
as defects of these parts Of the body
are most frequent.
defective vision must be corrected
If the child is expected to keep up
with it's studies and to maintain the
same standard as the normal child.
Good hearing is also essential to the
child who receives oral instruction,
as many cases of backwardness are
primarily due to defects of hearing.
Diseased tonsiIs and adenoids are re-
sponsible for no small number Of
cases of illness among children, more
especially during the school term. By
having them removed at an early date
we permit the child a better oppor-
tunity to combat the diseases of child
hood.
"Of no less importance are the
teeth. We cannot hope to improve the
physical state of the schoolchildren
unless their food is properly masti-
Gated by sound, healthy teeth. Infec-
lions through the mouth often have
their beginning in carious teeth"

PLAZA

Do the people of Bridgeport re-
member the old-timers and appreciate
real talent when they see fit? GO to
the Plaza before the week is over and
see the new offering of those lnterna-
tionaI musical comedy and vaudeville
favorites, Arthur McWatters and
Grace Tyson, which they choose to
term Eyes of Vaudeville and you'll
find YOUR answer in the tornado of
applause. Right in the very middle
of the act last night, Mr.. McWatters
was forced to make a speech Can
you imagine such happening IN one
Of our local theatres. The act is IN
four scenes and from the rise to the
fall of the curtain, it is just one long
howl of mfrth and appreciation. 1t Is
the biggest hit vaudeville has given
us in a decade. More power TO the
favorites of the old days May many
more come back"
Not only was the feature act a hit
but every act on the well balanced
bill received encore after encore.
Bender and Heer opened the snow
with A gyrnastic act that could not
be improved upon for entertaining
qualities. e. ]. Moore came next with
a comedy magical act that had you
guessing and laughing from the De
ginning to end Then came petite
Jim and Anna Francis with the clev-
enest little piano, singing and dancing
skit you could wish to see. After that
came the aforementioned McWatters
and Tyson offering and cleaned up.
Mary MacLane, the famous and &C.
centric woman writer, is appearing in
a seven act Elimination of her own
glory. Men Who Have Made Love
To Me" and in it she cites six spe-
cifc instances of her affairs of love"
in a manner that keeps interest IN the
picture at a dizzy height until the
final scenes.

JOHN MCCORMACK TO BE
HEARD IN OKLAHOMA
CITY LATE NEXT MONTH

John Mccormack, the celebrated
tenor who will be heard at the new
auditorium, fair grounds, Oklahoma
City, Monday night, October 2l, is
the most unconventional OF concert
singers. All he asks is a pair of
ears. Musical crudition, knowledge
of the classics, acquaintance with
the masters oil "Lieder," familiarity
with the intricacics of composition,
or agreement with any OF the schools
of music makers. is not required of
listener at a Mccormack recital.
We might have added backbone,
for McCormack's singing thrills.
Luckily the possession of a pair OF
ears presupposes backbone, and
perhaps that is why Mccormack
audiences are always of large pro-
portions.
"There is a masculine quality to
his tones coupled with a tenderness
that is only known to masters of in
probation such as Whitman Poe,
Tennyson and Schumann. He be-
longs to a splendidly small band OF
interpreters, he hits the heart with
heart songs. He is the valentine Of
modern music, and may he come at
least once year 10 reassure us that

however, it is impossibel to get land,

MOTHER Of EX-CZAR
JEERED BY SOVIET
BOLSHEVIK OFFICIAL HAS
HATRED FOR ALL OF THE
ROMANOFF FAMILY.

Amsterdam, Aug. 20. -- (Corre
spondence OF The Associated Press.
Maria Feodorovna, former dow
ager empress of Russia and mother
of the late Emperor Nicholas, not
long ago complained to Darachuk
leader OF the bolshevik soviet al
Yalta, that her allowance OF lOC
rubles week was insufficient
The soviet wants clerk re
torted Darachuk jeeringly. IF YOU
want to supplement your income the
position is open to you
Evidently the former dowager
empress disdained to reply. This in
formation comes from DIR. Leo Led
erer who was sent to Yalta by the
Berlin Tageblatt to ascertain the
condition Of the members OF the
former royal families OF Russia. The
colony at Yalta consists of IS per-
sons, including the former Grand
Dukes Nicholas and Peter, their
wives. who are daughters of the king
of Montenegro, and the former
Grand Duke Alexander Michaio-
witch and his family.
They are living in Duelber cas-
tie, near Liyadia in the Crimea. Their
lives were made extremely misera-
bic when the extremist soviet at
Yalta early this year assumed con-
troll OF the palace and ignored di-
rectons from Petrograd.
All were in constant fear of their
lives, reports being rife that the
Yalta soviet was planning to murder
all RomanoffS. Attempts actually
were made, it is said. to kill various
members OF the colony, but all were
frustrated by the watchfulnesS of
the loyal sailor guards.

commander. the Huns now being il
control.
Life at the castle is, it is true
frcer and quieter, but not more live
ly than in the time OF the bolsheviS
rule. Reading among the castle in
mates is restricted to Russian news
papers, which arrive daily, and their
intercourse to occasional visits OF
the Yussupoffs or the Princess
Wiaszinski. The young grand dukes
who amusc themselves with cricket
and ball in the park, alone bring
little life into the solitary palace
Some of the grand dukes are mov-
ing to Aitodor."
The dowager is said to have aged
considerably, but she continues to
hold herself proudly erect. Duke
Nicholas also has turned very gray
and his face is deeply wrinkled
Neither, DR.. Lederer says, has lost
any antipathy to Germany. All the
inmates of the castle appear to be-
lieve in the restoration of the mon
archy, although in democratic, con-
stitution form. They do not regard
as impossible the return of Rom
anoff to the throne.
A domiciliary visit to the castle
by the Sebastopol soviet last year
resulted in the theft of a number OF
yaluableS. One member of the Wis
iting party, a ragged sailor stole
the Grand Duke Nicholas boots,
leaving his own worn out ones
in exchange.
Nicholas morganatic daughter
has been married to Polish Count
+ TyszkeYitch. The wedding was quiet

olic church, whittier the party pro-
ceeded in hired cabs. Nicholas in
sisted on donning his brilliant white
field marshal'S uniform, and he dec
grated himself with all his orders.
