Doctor at 50 Finds People

The basis Of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell lett

placed on the market the laxative
prescription he had used in his prac-
tice. known to druggists and the pub
lie since 1892, as DR.. Caldwlels Syrup

Then the treatment of constipa-

herbs and roots. These are still the
basis Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
which is a combination of senna and
other mild laxative herbs, with pep
sin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their system.
Ii grown people want to use them.
no one can deny them the privilege.
but they should never be given to
children.
The simpler the remedy for consti-
patton, the safer for the child and
for you. and the better for the gen.
eral health of all. And, as you can
get results in mild and safe way by
using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
why take chances with strong drugs ?

Prince Georges County here yesterday
acquitted j. Edward Binger, promi-
nent farmer and Gamer. of charge
of assault with intent to kill John w.
Proctor, a colored farm hand, outside
of the general store at Halls Station
on April 16.
Binger was accused of having fired
five bullets into Proctor. However.
Proctor has recovered and yesterday v
testified Binger had fired at him in
cold blood, and that even after he had
emptied his revolver stood over him
and continued to pull the trigger.
1t was Binger's defense that he had
been in constant state of terror as
the result of a threat made by Proc.
tor to LAY him cold" He said he had
hardly been able to sleep or eat for
months and was afraid he would be
fired upon at any minute.

How formidable candidate for the
Republican nomination for President
Senator CARTS will be remains to be
seen. He has not been included In
the so.called "big four" up to date.
fJOONcT, l|O"oNiA ohN -" "~''
The Kansas Senator has been regu-
lar Republican for years, regular
when many of his friends were wab-
bling or going completely out of the
party. In his long career in the Sen
ate, he has been held sound. His col
leagues like him and respect him.
The Kansas Senator has the ad-
vantage of coming from the Middle
West, the corn belt, which alone of
the so-called Republican territory has
shown signs of revolt.
AS Republican leader of the Senate,
Mr.. Curtis has sought<to bring about
legislation for the relief of the farmer
which could be approved by the Presi-
dent and enacted into law. He has
supported actively many of the meas
ures which have increased the pro-
tective tariff on farm produce, and
added to The credit facilities of the
farmers. He sponsored bill. known
first as the Curtis-Aswell and then as
the Curtis Crisp Dill, an interstate CO.
operative measure.
When the McNary Haugen bill came
before the Senate during the last Con-
gress, Senator Curtis voted first for
the Fess substitute. which was be-
lievcd to be acceptable to the admin
ration. thinking that such a meas
ure would help the farmers. He voted
also for his substitute, the Curtis
Crisp. or Curtis-Aswell bill. All sub.

Senator Curtis voted for the passage
of the McNary. Haugen bill.
Senator Curtis made no other an
nouncement today beyond the publlca
ton of his letter to Mr.. Bone.
With the Kansas delegation solidly
back of him. however, Senator Curtis
will be in a position to sit back and
await Developments. If the convention
gets into a deadlock, his name doubt
less will be brought prominently be
fore the delegates as a compromise
candidate. He has friends in both the
East and West. 1t is possible that he
will have a scattering of delegates
from other States than Kansas from
the first His neighboring States OF
oklahoma and Missouri both are
friendly to Mr.. Curtis.
There was an active movement afOot
at the time of the last Republican ma
tional convention to place Senator
Curtis on the ticket with President
Coolidge as vice presidential candi
date. But the late Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts was up for spanking
because Of his opposition to the Presi
dent over the soldiers bonus bill. for
which both Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Curtis
voted. Mr.. Curtis was Republican
whip. while Senator Lodge was the
leader. 1t appeared that Mr.. Curtis
was to suffer as well as the Senator
from Massachusetts.
While Senator Curtis has given nc
encouragement at all this year tC
any suggestion he he the nominee OF
the party for Vice President, entering
the convention as the favorite son
of Kansas may make him decidedly
available for that nomination il he is
not nominated for President.
The Kansas Senator served fof
eight terms in the House, period OF
16 years, and then was elected to the
Senate in 1907. He received the popu
lar vote for nomination as the Repub
lican candidate for the Senate in 1912
but lost the nomination. under the
district plan then prevailing In the
1914 primary, however, after the State
had provided for the nomination OF
Senators by the direct vote of the peo
pie, he was nominated over Senator
Bristow
In that year, Mr.. Curtis was again
elected TO the Senate and has served
continuously ever since. His pres
ent tenn will not expire until 1888
There is touch of poetic Justice in
the possibility that Mr.. Curtis will be
come President of the United States
One of his grandmothers was an In
dian.
There is no doubt hut that Senator
Curtis can have the State delegation
to the Republican convention. The
movement to send such a delegation
was started Immediately after the
Black Hills statement of the Presi
dent that he did not choose to run for
President next year. In every county
of the State today there is either a
Curtis-forPresident club already or
ganized or a petition that he run for
President and that delegates be named
for him in circulation. Senator Cap

instruction of the delegation for Sena

SHRINKAGE is EXPLAINED.

BY the Associated Press.
The desperate circumstances" as to
Army ammunition reserves referred
to by Assistant Secretary MacNider
in his Chattanooga address are due
to the fact that the stocks left over
from the war have shrunk by an
amount said to approximate $780,
900 900 to 500. 100000.
1t would require that amount of
increase. In addition to replacement of
annual supplies used up in target
practice. to bring the war reserves up
to the needs of a million men, the
figure on which the size of the reserve
stock is based.
Cause Is Placed.
Shrinkage of the reserve has been
described by Army officials as due 10
living off the fiat left from the war,
now supplemented by progressive
deterioration SO far as small arms and
artillery ammunition is concerned
Rife and machine gun ammunition
lasts about 10 years and artillery sup
plies 20 years before becoming unsafe
for use due to deterioration. On that
basis the war-manufactured small
arms cartridges now in stock have
virtually passed their period of use
fulnesS.
Army officials have worked out plans
to replace not only the amount used
annually in target work, but also one
tenth of the reserve stock each year
so as to keep the whole reserve con.
tinuously ready for use. but the
project has never been put into effect.
AS it would take from six to nine
months, to start up production of am
