Statistics compiled by the Met.

While the birth rate here shows

such q ratio exists. The ratio

It is in the Asiatic countries

What DR.. Caldwell Learned
in AZ Years Practice

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
of constipation for Al years, and
believed that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless OF
how much one tries to avoid It.
OF next Importance, then. Is how
to treat It when II comes. DR..
Caldwell always was in favor of
getting as close to nature as pos
sible, hence his remedy for consts-
patton, known as DIR. CaldwelI's
Syrup Pepsin. Is a mild vegetable
compound. It can not harm the
most delicate system and Is not a
habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
youngsters love 1t. It does not
grippe. Thousands Of mothers have
written us to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He
did not believe they were good for
human beings to put into their
system. In practice Of AZ years
he never saw any reason for their
use when medicine like Syrup
Pepsin viii empty the bowels just
as promptly, more cleanly and
gently, without gripping and harm
to the system.
Keep free from constipation! It
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let day go by
without a bowel movement. Do
not sit and hope, but go to a drug
gist and get one of the generous
bottles Of DR.. CaldweIl's Syrup
Pepsin. Take the proper dose that
night and by morning you win feel

About 500 bodies were buried by

1 fiend that did this"
The revelation of Hickman's series
of pharmacy robberies, to get the
anaesthetics with which police believe
he put little Marian to sleep while he
mutilated her body, came late today.
Hickman's picture was positively
identified by one druggist as the bandit
who held him up late on November 27,
rifled his cash register and took sleep
ing tablets when he failed to find the
drugs he had demanded.
The next night, similarly described
youth held up another drug store.
Again he took the cash regist>' con-
tents, as well as several cans of anaeS-
thetics. Then he stuck his pistol into
the druggists ribs and commanded:
"How do you use this stuff"
The druggist, terrified gave minute
instructions in the use of of the anaes7
thetics and the robber fled.
The third pharmacy robbery was the
night of December 5. In all three
cases, the robber fled in a Chrysler
coupe answering in detail the descrip-
ton OF the death car found by police
after the killer -kidnapper had deliv-
cred Marians body to her father.
The detectives who learned of the
theftS felt sure that Hickman had his
awful revenge plot planned out in de-
tail at that time-and that he used
his loot to keep Marian quiet while he
kept her hidden in his apartment.
They had overlooked that apartment
two days before For on Sunday morn
ing a squad of 100 policemen had
sWooped down on the building after
there had been found, on one Of the
towels stuffed into the dismembered
torso of Marian Parker, the Identify

in that search when the police scanned
the apartment-of nice looking lad
named Donald Evans they found moth
ing in any of the rooms to excite
their suspicion.
When they burst into the place;
young Evans sat up in bed with a grin,
as they told him what they were after.
