NASTY MEDICINES
BAD FOR CHILDREN

It is not often a child requires medi-
cine of any kind. If the bowels are
regular and promptly dispose of undi-
gested matter discarded by the ston-
ach, the general health is very apt to
be excellent. In any case, pills, pow
ders, and nauseating or unpalatable
compounds, should never be given to
children. Any therapeutic virtue such
remedies may possess is largely nulli-
fed by the youngsters natural antag-
oniSm.
For most children a mild laxative,
administered occasionally, is all that is
needed to assure normal regularity
and good health. DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin is a pleasant-tasting combina-
ton of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, free from opiate or narcotic drugs,
and acts gently yet effectively; chill
dren like it and take it readily, so
that it is the ideal remedy for the
family medicine chest. 1t is sold in
drug stores for SO cents a bottle. A
trial bottle, free of charge, can be
obtained by writing to DR.. W. B. Cald-
well, 456 Washington ST., Monticello,
Illinois.

WHAT'S GOING ON In THE WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLLS

A daring offering is given at Polls
this week in Submarine U-15," in
which the Vaccinations of the Ger
man Military club, the attempted at
tack of a submarine and the cap
ture of the boat by two Americans,
is well dramatized amidst a splendor
of mechanical and spectacular set
tings.
This is one of the most startling
of recent spectacles to be shown with
a fully patriotic viewpoint. Six
scenes are used to show the action
which includes the fitting Of torpe-
does into the tubes, the rising of the
submarine out of the sea and a beau
tiful water scene at night in which
a fleet of vessels are seen.

directly from their midst. Both are
funmakers of the first water.
Lord &c Fuller, a man and woman
in "a little bit of everything" made
good their boast. First appearing
on unicycles, they did some dance,
some cross-fire and closing carried the

II most earnestly urge upon
you that your organization

Stamps be fulfilled before the
close of the year. The Gov

any similar period. These ex-
penditures growing out of the

magnificent response hereto
fore to the governments re-
quiremeints make me confdant
that they will not fail to con-
tinue their support to the end
that all payments resulting
from war necessities will be
promptly met. Much remains
to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid
until their work is fully ac-
complished and they are re-
turned to their homes. This
is not a time for us to relax
our efforts and the treasury
department is making plans
for even larger and more i'm

SERGEANT GRILL SHOT
AND GASSED IN FRANCE
Recuperating at Fort Beard, N. M,
But Now Ready to Return to
Fighting Front.

Sergeant c. s. Grill, son of G..
Grill, residing As mikes south of

Thursday afternoon after short
furlough spent with the home folks.
Sergeant Grill went overseas with
the goth Engineering corps and in
his first engagement on the front
was shot in the left foot by shrap-
mel. While in the hospital recov-
ering from his wound he was trans
ferred to the 1l5th Field Artillery.
On re-entering the battle line he
with the rest of his company, was
badly gassed with mustard gas and
came near dying.
Grill was sent home for rest and
recuperatiOn at Fort Beard, N. NJ,
passing through here in the latter
part of last July. At that time he
weighed but 110 pounds and his
recovery seemed doubtful. Howev-
er, he has come out wonderfully,
now weighing 100 pounds and is
again ''raring to CO."
Grill expected to be examined for
re-entry into the service Immediate
ly upon his return to Fort Beard
last Saturday. He is fine type
of The American soldier in physique
as well as patriotic spirit and a
to win this war.
Grill is known by many here, all
of whom are greeting him
most cordially during his brief stay.
He was partially raised in his ear
iier boyhood by Mrs. Mary Pearce,
of Holly, of whom he was the guest
while in town.
Grill was in the same engagement
in which Corporal Merl Rockwell OF
Holly, was killed.

A. v, TRAIN CREW PULLS
OFF CLEVER 3ACT COMEDY
Messenger harrington the villain,
Shack" Ramsey "Shot"-Round-
house Foreman the Goat.

There was SHOW" put on near
the roundhouse in the Holly yards
of the Santa Fe Thursday night of
last week which resembled an in
cipient engagement on the western
front in France, and for at least
one of the cast of characters it was
really as serious until he got wise" J"
\ Clarence Barker, general foreman
ct the rOundhouse was the victim,
and Express Messenger Glen L..
harrington, running on the A. v.
branch between here and La Junta,
played the leading role as slim,
the villain. Brakeman P. b. Ram
say and Fireman Cy Kendall play
ed various but important parts in
the three-act comedy, which all but
got Barker's goat.
The A. V. passenger had just pull
ed in and Foreman Barker was in
the act of putting the engine in the
rOundhOuse One of the actors had
placed a torpedo on the track and
it's discharge startled Barker, whose
fears were given still greater imetus
when Fireman Kendall told him
that Slim" had probably shot
Brakeman Ramsey as the result of
an all-day quarrel on the train.
Barker threw his lantern, ham
mer and gloves to the four winds in
his fright as he was finally induced
to enter the express car with Fire
man Kendall to see what had real
ly happened. Ramsey had ostens-
IDLY been seriously shot in the left
leg and was suffering terribly.
Foreman Barker grabbed Slim"
Harrington and began to lash him
fast to the side of the car with
rope to prevent further blood-shed.
Baker did not tumble to the joke
until harrington, whose legs were
being cut by Barker's frenzied
Tightening of the rope began to
cause the captive some pain and he
let out roar of laughter which was
participated in by the rest of the
train crew and gave the farce away.
There has been no announcement
of, oyster suppers, however, as a re-
suit of the clever ruse pulled off by
the A. V. train crew, and Baker has
taken the joke good naturedly.
