himself brave, thoughtful dog.
Queen, German police dog
owned by George Herril, has been
missing for ten days and many
searchers had failed to find her.
( Doc was abserved to have ac-
quired new trick. Instead of eat
ing all his food, he carried same
away, presumably to bury it.
When Mercer heard Queen had
disappeared, he recalled having
heard dog howl and investigated.
The alert Doc led his master to
a vine-covered wire fence under
a tree and there was Queen with
one hind foot caught in the wire.
Doc had kept Queen from starving
by carrying food to her.
Queen is hobbling about on

Millions Of Families Depend
on DR.. CaldwelPs Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started r.
practice medicine, back in 1875. the
needs for a laxative were NOT as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But oven
that early there were drastic phvs-
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
ne 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, is q 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 a year
proves that it has won the, confidence
OF people who needed it to get re.
lief from headaches, biliousness,
flatulence, Indigestion, loss of appe.
tite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and if you will once start using
it you will also always have bot
tie handy for emergencies.

"The Skull "Mystew Drama
OF Regular Formula

ANOTHER of those standardized
A dramas-in this case known as
'eThe Skull" is now playing at the
Forrest Theatre. 1t is by Bernard j.
McOwen and Harry E. Humphrey.
The present play was written ac-
cording to the regular formula and
has no more original ideas than will
be found in a true story published in
a tabloid. All of the ingredients that
in the past have been successful in
mystery plays are used, so one can
truthfully call the present play a
healthy mixture of "The Bat" "The
Cat and the Canary" "The Clutching
Claw" "The Spider" and all the other
mystery plays produced during the
last few years. The only difference
is that "The Skull" is not quite as
good as most of them. Perhaps that
is result of seeing the other plays
first.
AS to the plot. AS usual in plays
of this character the most creepy at
mosphere possible is created. In the
present instance, a country church is
the spot picked for all of the dirty
work.
The play isn't funny and it is
doubtful if any particular praise in
its favor can be given, with the ex-
ception that rabid mystery play fans
may be able to stomach the produc-
ton, and actually enjoy it.
Since it is a kindergarten ghost,
"The Skull" is as ridiculous IN its
conclusion as it is naive and inept in
its movement. After couple of hours
dedicated to yanking highly expec-
tant actors through various doors, it
stands them all up and explains who
is whom as if, by that time, anybody
cared, even half-wit
A capable group of actors struggle
manfully through the three acts. The
leading roles are played by Harold de
Becker and Allan Davis.

Steamer Adrift in Gulf
Stream. Helpless

NORFOLK, Va, April 25.-Adrift
in the gulf stream unable to help
herself and followed by the Coast
Guard Cutter Carrabassett, helpless
to render assistance, was the strange
plight today of the American steamer
Western Ocean.
The steamer was picked up 300
miles east of the Virginia capes by
the Carrabassett and lowed for about
100 miles. During a severe gale Mon
day night the tow line parted and
the Western Ocean was driven into
the gulf stream where she is now
drifting in an easterly direction at a
speed of about s knots.
The Carrabassett because of high
seas and strong westerly winds, has
been unable to recover the ship.
