How to Keep Baby
Smiling and Well
See that the daily functions regular and normal

you can't expect the little
" ones to be happy and play
- full when the head feels dull
and the stomach bloated. The
normal habit of children is to be
happy and when you notice them
cross and fretful you will usually
find constipation is responsible.
Perhaps they have missed that
daily function SO necessary to
comfort and health. Look at the
tongue and see if the breath is
bad. Watch for belching. These
are the tell-tale symptoms of con-
stipation. Tonight give a little
of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which you can buy at any drug
store, and it will act in the morn
ing and the troublesome symp-
toms promptly disappear.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin. Unlike the
harsher physics it acts gently and
without gripping so that while
grownups can use it freely it can
also be given to a tiny baby with
perfect safety. Thousands of
American families would not think

In the janitor force of the public

two dropped from the service without

These two janitors, while over
seventy, have not been in the service
fifteen years, and, under the Attorney
Generals ruling, cannot be pensioned.
One of these janitors is seventy-five
years old, but has been in the service
only two years. The other is seventy
eight years OF age. and has been in the
schools eight years.
The District building has three en-

MANY INQUIRIES
IND. c. SCHOOL, CASE
Interest in Selection Of Sue
cessor to Supt. Thurston
Is Widespread.

Interest over the selection Of . sne-
cessor to superintendent of Schools
Thurston is not confined to Washing
ton, but is national. This was indi-
Gated today when newspaper ofices
in various sections OF the country
made queries by long distance tele-
phone and telegraph as to whether the
board of education had decided on
the name OF the new District school
head.
Inquiries are being nads hy out Of
town newspapers because Of tho be-
lief that the school board will not
elect a Washington educator as Mr..
Thurston's successor. A number OF
country have applied for the position
of SUPPLEMENTARY of schools here.
and naturally newspapers in sites
where terms of superintendent ex-
pire this year are anxious to ascertain
who the new administration head viii
be.
Persons in close touch with the To-
cal situation are confident in their be-
lief that a Washington man will be
nominated to succeed Mr.. Thurston.
This contention is strengthened by the
fact that the municipal government
has adopted a policy OF selecting can
didates for public office from within
the confines of the District and, IL
possible, by promotion. The school
board members. it is declared, are
fully in accord with this policy. as
outlined by the District Commission
ers at the time of the promotion Of
Inspector Harry l. Gessford to the SUI
perintendency of police.
A number of local men have been
mentioned as eligible for the school po-
sition. Some of those mentioned, when
questioned, have announced that they
would not consider accepting the Office,
in view of the developments incident
to the investigation OF the school con-
troversy by the senatorial inyestigat-
ing committee.
