was there four weeks, and was permit
ted to enter all of the wards except the
meningitis ward. The conditions at the
hospital are the best possible, and
cannot understand how such false re-
ports could have gotten out concerning
them. The force of nurses is sufficient
and none of the sick soldiers are neg
lected or sighted in any way. 1 would
rather have my boy there during his
illness than at home, for he is receiving
better care than could be given him at
home. He is now past the danger point
and is going to get well. 1 have come
home for a short rest, after which / will

BAKERS WAR STATEMENT
MAKES FINE IMPRESSION
British Captain Declares u, S,
Army Is Finest in World,
Bar None

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Captain A.
Radcliffe Dugmore, of the British
army today characterized the American
forces in France 'as the best army in
the world, excepting none"
Saptain Dugmore just returned here
fro ma three weeks inspection of the
American lines.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Secretary
Bakers statement of Americas war
plan carrying the assertion that an army
of SOC, 900 would be in France early this
year and "a million and a half ready
to ship to France during 1915" still re-
mained the center OF interest at the
capitol today.
The secretary's outline of the army's
preparations revealing many hitherto
carefully guarded military secrets and
given yesterday to the senate military
committee in answer to criticisms of
the war department, made profound
impression on committee members
Chairman Chamberlain, who has been
the departments chief critic, admitted
this before Secretary Baker left the
stand The chairman proposed that Mr..
Baker be given a rest and there was
no attempt at crss-eXamination1
Secretary Baker, however, soon will
have an opportunity to amplify his
statement of Americas war prepara-
tions
Recall of Secretary Baker for cross
examination before the end of the week
was decided upon today by the COM
mittee.
Although impressed with Secretary
Bakers disclosures of the magnitude
of army preparations, the senate COM
mittee intends to pursue it's demands
for Capitalization of war authority
through a war cabinet and a munitions
director.
Chairman Chamberlain said today,
however, that the war cabinet bill Will
be resubmitted to the committee for ap-
other vote before being reported to the
senate. He said this course would be
taken because he did not wish it to ap-
pear that a majority of the committee
favoring the war reorganization were
trying to railroad" their legislation
through, although the bill was ordered
reported at a previous meeting from
which several senators opposing the bill
were absent.
In reply to Secretary Bakers request
for the identities Of persons named IN

said today he probably would make the
names public and also refer them 10

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their ac-
tiv1ty, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
1t is of special Importance TO
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally ac-
tive. A mild yet effective, reme-
dy for constipation, and one that
IS especially suited to the needs
of old folks, women and chill
dren. is the combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin
sold in drug stores under the
name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
