Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. Caldwell's Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not az
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human be-
ings to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name OF DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, j. a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and Is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions OF bottles are used o year
proves that il has won the confidence
of people who needed il to get re-
lief from headaches, biliousness,
flatulence, indigestion, loss Of aDpe-
tite and-sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions Of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and il Won will once start using
II Won will also always have a bot
tie handy for emergencies.

had the purpose Of raising the river
and its great tributary, the San Car
los, TO the mean level OF Lake Mica
ragua, and making them links in the
route.
From the lake the canal company's
projected course was into the Lajas
river. The distance from this point
to the Atlantic is II miles; Of thIs
nine miles would have to be exca-
waited. The west end Of this cut
would put the canal into the Grande
river valley. which the second of tine
two huge dams projected by the
original engineers, would convert
into another basin.
Here there would have to be a
fourth and fifth pair Of locks. with a
fall estimated by the original engi-
neers at 50 feet. Down the Brito
valley two miles more is the site OF
Tie sixth lock. with an estimated varI-
able fall of 81 to % feet, according
to the Pacific tidal rise. From this
lock site to the Pacific channel dis
lance is one mile.

MOVE TO ENCOURAGE MINING.

Means to increase mineral activity and build Western payrolls will be studied at the Western Divisional Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce ton Hotel. Pasadena, December 5 and G.
 The subject will be presented by Charles " Merrill, Chairman of the Statewide Mineral Com mittee of the California Development Association who is constructing a program for the develop. ment of the eleven Western States to present to the meeting
 Greater activity in the mineral industry oi California and other Western States will add immensely to the total wealth, give direct em- ployment to thousands and also give work to many in industries connected with the processing of mineral products, according to Merrill.
 "The State and National governments can and should stimulate mining activity through their agencies such the National and State geological surveys" Merrill declares in his re- looking for -paternazation by the Govern ment, but it believes that it should be given attention and funds commensurate with it's i'm. portance industry basic to the prosperity of the Nation because that Nation which has the best balanced program of development will maintain prosperity in the keen international competition of the coming decades''
 The problems of the mining industry were discussed at the last Divisional meeting held in Honolulu, when resolution dealing with some of these questions was passed and later supported by the National Chamber at it's an. nual meeting

CREDITABLE TO JUNEAU.

With the completion of the Juneau high school this City is better equipped with public school facilities than any other city in the North. The high school building is that would do credit to much larger town than Juneau and the same might be said with truth of the older building Both buildings are modern throughout and both are architecturally impress sive.
 The new school building and the Scottish Rite Temple have added immensely to the appearance of Juneau-to it's air of permanenoe and sub stantiality. They very fine additions to the tire-proof buildings that yearly becoming more numerous. Their beauty and the testimony they present of confidence in the future of Juneau will encourage the erection of other build ings of similar class
 It also is gratifying to know that both structures financed in Juneau Nearly all of the mpreving-and there has been lot of it that has taken place here during the last two or three years has been financed in this city, proving both the prosperity of the people and their confidence in their town.

Cavalry Still Indispensable.
New York Times. ]


 As the most successful cavalry officer in the World War Fled Marshal Allenby asked by an army service journal in Washington to make statement about the uses of cavalry in modern warfare. Was it an absoeseent arm was it still indispensable in military operations? The famous soldier had no doubt that "the work of contact and linking up the units on wide battle fronts will still fall cavalry" and that it's mobility will be increased by "the assistance of mechanical vehicles to carry ammunition and war stores" He admitted that distant recon naissance had become the province of the air forces. Tanks and armored cars had proved their value the offensive, but they could not super sede cavalry for many Such would be the view of the Field Marsha1's old Commander-in- Chief if he were alive today. In his Final Dispatch" Sir Douglas Haig. cavalryman him self. had this to say about the availability of cavalry in army that was we'll equipped with tanks and armored
 During the German offensive in
 March, 1918, the superior mobility of
 cavalry fully justified their existence
 At the commencement of the battle,
 cavalry were used under the Fifth Army
 wide fronts So great, indeed, be-
 the need for mounted men that
 certain units which had but recently
 been dismounted hurriedy pro-
 vided with horses and did splendid
 service
 Sir Douglas Hag and that British cavalry saved the Cambrai-Le Cateau-St. Quentin Rail way from complete deStruct1on' Tn the Dattle of October 8, and that the morning of the armistce the cavalry had gained line ten miles in front of the infantry outposts' and were in a position to turn the enemy's retirement into a rout if the armistice fell through. In war games recently held in France and Great Britain cavalry manoeuyers have often won the approval of umpires. justifying the opinion that mounted troops would play import ant, and times decisive part in cam paigns. What War Department thinks about the matter may be judged from it's decision to equip the cavalry with the latest field pieces and machine guns and furnish it with light trucks and armored for manoeuyers under assumed battle conditions"
 Captain James T. Duke, instructor of the United States Cavalry School at Fort Riley, after sixteen months of observation in Europe, reports that cavalry, in combination with mechanized equipment is regarded effective arm than ever. It is being trained to act as infantry in emergencies, taking along it's artillery support. The purpose is to increase mobility and give it greater power to strike the enemy. Mounted infantry used in the last Boer War by both sides with great effect. Trench warfare in France long postponed decision, and it now seems to be the purpose by making cavalry more mobile and powerful in attack to prevent resort again to elaborate trench warfare.

ELECTION WAS NOT PROHIBITION
 VICTORY.

The Hoover and Curtis Liberal League of New York. comprised of wet Republicans who sup ported Hoover and Curtis has begun a campaign to convince the country that the election must not be construed as an endorsement of the Pro hibtfon Amendment and the Volstead Law
 The Hoover and Curtis Liberal League was organized last month to solidify the votes of the wet Republicans for the Republican ticket and carried advertisements in the daily papers throughout New York State Connecticut and other sections of the East urging ant-Prohibi- tionist Republicans to stand by their party. It was announced that:
 the League is formed by peo-
 pie who wish to create a favorable con-
 sttutiona and legal background for
 temperance, but are unwilling that such
 policy should be dictated either by
 the liquor interests by the Anti
 Saloon League.
 The Liberal League declares that it recognizes that Prohibition has proved to be a failure. but that it believes the administration of the Gov ernment should be in the hands of the Repub- lcan Party"

The Duce's Bonfire.

 Premier Mussoln again showed his penchant for the theatrical when before hushed throng of admiring Fascists he stood on the imposing steps of the Victor Emmanual monument in Rome and laid certificates of $7, 1000 900 of Italy's indebtedness on two altars to ancient goddesses The flames did their work and Italys financial burdens were to that extent reduced by the voluntary surrender of obligations held by Ital- ians of every rank and class.
 For country where wealth is scarce such sacrifice attess the hold which Mussoini has obtained on the imagination of his followers This offering however, will have no far-reach- ing effect the state of Italian public finances The burning of these Government obligations has reduced the Italian public debt by ap- proxmately one-sixth of 1 per cent For each S100 the Government owed before the Duce's bonfire it still $99.S4
