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. con-
stipation will occur from time TO time
regardless of how much one tries 10
avoid it. OF next Importance, then. is
how TO treat IL when it comes. DR..
Caldwell always was III favor of get
ting as close TO nature as possible
hence his remedy for consultation,
known as DR.. CaIdwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Is a mild vegetable compound. 1t can
not harm the most delicate system and
Is not habit forming preparation.
Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and
youngsters love 1t. 1t does not grippe.
Thousands of mothers have written US
to that effect.
DR.. 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 q
practice of ~ years he never saw
any reason for their use when medi-
cine like Syrup Pepsin will 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 q day go by without bowel

as the Buffalo blast" and declared
that organization was unjust III deScrib-

Keefe said his organization did not
concur in the A. A. A. resolution.
The recent campaign OF the Police
Department against speederS, reckless
drivers and other traffic viOlators, was
especially commended by Keefe, who
urged that the additional motor cycle

and also that 1t be further augmented
By at least l6 additional men.
To Combat Statement.

cause OF the complexity of the traftic

traffic director already has received a
report from the tourist camp III Potomac

sought from hotels as TO the number Of

DR.. A. A. Nicholson again will meas

Department Approves.
The famous Nobel prize winner wants
to raise the odds to ten times that
figure, and the War Department has
approved an application of Mount Will
son Observatory. Pasadena, Calf. for
permission to use part OF Ross hylng
field for the experiment
A straight path one-half mile long,
is available on the field. Along the
course the light will be reflected by
mirrors. The resultant speed figure,
besides being freer from error, will
serve as a check on previous values.
Initial steps in the project. will be
made with the light travelling through
air. to test the apparatus, after which
the plan is to lay down q sheet iron
pipe three feet in diameter and one
half mile in length.

DR.. Nicholson plans to pump the air
from the long pipe and have a beam OF

mirrors, like a ball on a billiard table.
