You can't become a man of mark, q

You can't possibly progress as you

The Right Laxative
For The Little Ones

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin produces free move
ment of the bowels without gripping. A very
little is required, and it is pleasant to take.
A few hours after its use the child will be its
happy self again.
It is an excellent remedy for the mother
herself, and for the other members of the
family, in obstinate or occasional consti-
patton, for the relief of headaches, as an aid
in colds and fevers, minor skin eruptions and
all disorders where the basis of the trouble
is constipation. !
The druggist will refund the money you
pay for Syrup Pepsin if it fails TO do as
promised.

In spite of greatly increased laboratory costs due

The natural condition of child is to be
happy and carefree. When the girl mopes
and is Indifferent to school and study. or the
boy is suIlen and refuses to 60 out and play,
the child needs alaxative to empty the bowels
and stir up the liver.
But something should be given that will
produce the result in as simple and nat

of Nations meeting the city win pre-
pare to give that gathering the proper
setting.
The forthcoming visit of the prince
of Wales perhaps is interesting in
number of ways. The present prince
is the second one of his rank in Great
Britain to visit America Only one
other immediate heir apparent to the
British throne ever visited this coun-
try. The princes grandfather, who la
ter was King Edward VII, came
to the United States sixty years ago
when he was about the age of the pres
ent prince, and here he had what lat

Other Royal Visitors.
The forthcoming visit of King
Georges son recalls other visits of
royalty and near royalty to the city
of Washington. 1t was not long ago
that the duke of Connaught, who held
the British governments chief office
In Canada, came to the United States
to pay visit TO the British embassy.
In way his visit was to the president
of the United States, but so far as
public announcement was concerned
he was coming here simply to visit the
embassy, and incidentally to pay his
respects to the president.
The duke certainly was democrat.
Possibly q good deal of his democracy
was put on for the occasion, but if so
IL was the best counterfeit that ever
passed as the genuine thing
Prior to the visit of the duke, Prince
Henry of Battenburg came to Wash
ington. He is a kin to the royalty of
Great Britain. The prince is sailor
and he came to the United States in
command of a squadron of the Brit
ISL navy which put in at Annapolis.
From that city he came to Washing
ton making his headquarters at the
British embassy. He was entertained
at the White House and at a number
of clubs of the city.
About fourteen years ago Prince
Henry of Prussia came to the United
States. Since his visit all kinds of in
terpretations have been put on the rea-
son therefor. This government GER
tainly laid itself out to entertain prop
erly the prince of the royal house
which during the last two years has
been doing it's best to put this coun-
try out of commission.

II You Need a Medicine

It is that so many products that are ex-
