SAME PRESCRIPTION.
He WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for q
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
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. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. It has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, b;Gousness, fatulence, irdi-
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your

odling Moth Is
Expensive Pest
Anple Growers Must Rely
Jon Lead Arsenate to
Destroy Them.

f(Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The codIing moth is at present the
most serious insect pest with, which
the apple and pear growers of the Pa
cific Northwest have to contend.
Losses from the worms" in some
years average as high as 20 per cent
of the total crop, or even as high as
so. per cent in individual cases. BY
the use Of proper methods, however,
many growers keep their losses well
below s per cent.
Plan to Control.
In order to control the codling moth
it is essential to understand its sea-
sonal history under local conditions.
There are two generations of the
codling moth season in the Pacific
Northwest, and the various stages in
these overlap. Except for short
interval worms are Matching and at
lacking the fruit from the latter part
of May to October. Apple growers
must rely mainly on spraying with
lead .arsenate from one to six times
during the season, according to their
locality and the prevalence Of the
pest there. A carefully worked out
spray schedule must be used, timed to
protect. the fruit at certain definite
stages of it's growth and of the de-
velopment of the worms.
Farmers Bulletin 1867, "Control
Of the Cooling Moth in the Pacific
Northwest" by e. J. Newcomer, NJ. A.
Yothers and w. D. Whitcomb, ento-
mologists, has recently been revised.
It describes the life history of the
cooling moth and contains chart
showing how and when the various
stages of the pest develop. Spray
schedules for both apples and pears
are given. The Importance of the
calyx spray is emphasized, and it is
urged that no other farm operations,
such as irrigating, cultivating, or ham
ding alfalfa in the orchard should be
allowed to interfere with the spray
program.
FUNGUS Diseases.
Two fungous diseases of apples,
powdery mildew and scab, are con-
trolled by spraying with lime-sulphur
at approximately the same time that
the spraying for the codling moth is
done. 1t is often convenient to COM
bine the materials used for the two
operations and spray them together
N the trees. Directions for doing
ARE included in the bulletin.

irregularities were known pre-
viously to have occurred in the prl-
mary, but the story of ballot STUFF

bad counting, and similar practices
was not told before. AS a whole the
$1,000 word detailed account COM
prised perhaps the most sensational
story told in the history OF the
American election system.
Concerning Philadelphia, the re-
port stated in part: ''The fraud per-

of a Philadelphia voter to have ms
vote counted correctly was less than

The devices of fraud alluded to,
included:
No Records Kept
No tally sheets of totals were kept
614 divisions, more than third OF
the whole city, so no record is avail
able that the votes ever were
counted.
In the Second ward alone, ITO per-

the whole city being about 1000,

mittee said, a clear case of fraud on
the part of election officials.
In the whole city more votes were
cast than there were voters regis

In all there were total of 1884
ballots printed and numbered but
unaccounted for.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-Iiittle
Doris Virginia Murphy, missing
week ago today, was back at home
this morning, safe and unharmed IN
her mothers arms.
TITS her--my baby" screamed the
almost hysterical mother, making

to be back nome again dIGeF d
weeks absence.
The finding of the child was kept
secret from the public until a posi-
tive Identification. Only that Of
her mother could be considered as
positive, and only few persons
were present at the happy reunion
of the mother and child.
These included Edward Sharp and
his wife, who brought the child to
the United Press offices early today,
a few newspaper men and police
officers.
Tells Unusual Story
Sharp told police and newspaper
men story unique in the annals
of criminology.
He said his wife had received a
mysterious note telling her that a
child of hers, whom she had placed
in an orphans home two years ago,
would be returned to her If she
would come to Vallejo, a city on
San Francisco bay, near here.
Sharp said his wife had gone to
Vallejo and had taken the child
from dark man with a black
mustache."
Believing that little Doris was
her child, Mrs. Sharp returned to
San Francisco and took the child
on several shopping tours with her.
Police and civilians had failed to
recognize the missing child and
Mrs. Sharp, herself, unaware that
she had been taking a missing girl
instead of her own daughter
through the downtown streets Of
San Francisco.
Pictures Cause Suspicion
1t was not until the husband had
noticed the resemblance of his
daughter" to pictures printed in
newspapers that the slightest ques-
ton of doubt regarding identity Of
the child was raised, Sharp said.
Sharp and his wife held hurried
consultation. Since the woman had
not seen her daughter for more
than a year, she was not positive
that the little girl was hers, Sharp
said.
Sharp decided to ascertain if pos
Sible whether the child was his or
whether she was the girl reported
missing since last Friday.
She brought the child to the
United Press Office and told the
strange story of the mysterious note
and the journey to Vallejo.
Reporters we're inclined to dis
count the story until they talked
to the child. Little Doris convinced
them that she did not belong to
her new found parents.
The child readily identified news
paper photographs of the play
ground from which she disap-
peared, the storekeepers in the
neighborhood and her mother and
father.
Mother CoIlapses
When told her daughter was be-
lieved found, Mrs. Murphy refused
to believe the report and hysteri-
cally cried, "Oh, God, why torment
me-" Suffering from the strain
imposed upon her since Doris dis
appeared, she collapsed.
Police planned to question the
Sharps regarding their daughter"
and the mysterious obtaining Of
Doris in Vallejo.
Despite the admission of the huS-
band and wife that they had re-
ceived the note and obtained the
child from tho dark complexioned
man with the black mustache," po-
lice were not satisfied with the solu-
ton of the case.
1t was pointed out that author

ing notes signed *. K" had not
been established anc that there
were suspicious angles Still un-
solved.
