DR. CALDWELL loved people.
- He studied the habits of his
patients and tried to improve
their ways of living. His obser-

time convinced him many people
were running their health by a
careless choice of laxatives. Then
he determined to write a pre-
scription which would get at the
cause of constipation and correct
it quickly and safely.
How successful his efforts were
is best shown by the fact that the
prescription he wrote back in
1885 has become the worlds most
popular laxative! He prescribed
a mixture Of herbs and other pure
ingredients now known as DR..

Our trench is almost gone. At
many places it is only eighteen
inches high. It is broken by holes,

We are buried and must dig our
selves out. After an hour the en-
trance is clear again, and we are
calmer, because we have had some
thing to do.
Our company commander scran-
bles in and reports that two dug
outs are gone. The recruits calm
themselves when they see him. He
says that an attempt will be made
to bring up food this evening.
This sounds reassuring. No one
had thought of it except Tjaden.
Now the outside world seems to
draw little nearer; if food can be
brought up, think the recruits, then
it can't really be so bad.
We do not abuse them; we know
that food is as important as am
munition and only for that reason
must be brought up.

Only Nine of Crew Rescued
in Hurricane.

MANILA, P. I, Sept. ga hurri-
can of typhoon proportions swept
over the Philippine islands today,
sinking the steamer Mayor and
flooding several provinces.
The Mayor sank off Pasacao, near
the Regay gulf in the Camarines
Sur Province. Only nine of its
crew of thirty-seven we're rescued
and slight hope was held for the
remaining twenty-eight. The vessel
was operated in inter-island service
and so far as could be determined,
carried no passengers.
The ship was caught in the
storms vortex and sent to the bot
tom. Center of the typhoon was
placed at a few miles north OF Ma
Mia.
The island of Cebu, Tayabas prov
ince, which is in the southeastern
part of northern LuZon, the prov
irce of Rial and other parts of the
Philippines was devastated. Torren-
tia, rains had flooded large areas,
doing great damage to crops and
dwellings.

hands will not bulge. Sleep hangs
on my eyelids, I work my toes IN
my boots in order to keep awake.
Nothing happens till I am relieved;
only the everlasting rolling over
there. Gradually we grow calmer
and play Skst and poker continually.
Perhaps We will be lucky.
! All day the sky is hung with OBJ
servation balloons. There is a ru-
NOR that the enemy are going to
put tanks over and use low-f1ying
planes for the attack. But that in
tereSts US less than what We hear of
the new flame-throwers.
We wake up in the middle of the
night. The earth booms. Heavy
fire is falling on us. We crouch into
corners. We distinguish shells of
every caliber.
Each man lays mold of his things
and looks again every minute to re-
assure himself that they are still
there.
The dugout heaves, the night
roars and flashes. We look at each
other in the momentary flashes Of
light and with pale faces and
pressed lips shake our heads.
Every man is aware of the heavy
shells tearing down the parapet,
roofing up the embankment and
demolishing the upper layers of
concrete.
When shell lands in the trench
we note how the hollow, furious
blast is like a blow from the paw of
a raging beast of prey. Already by
morning a few of the recruits are
green and vomiting. They are too
inexperienced.
Slowly the grey light trickles into
the post and pales the flashes of the
shells. Morning is come. The explo-
sion of mines mingles with the gun
fire. That is the most dementing
CONFUSION of all. The whole re-
gion where they go up becomes one
grave.
The reliefs go out, the observers
stagger in, covered with dirt, and
trembling. One lies down in silence
in the corner and eats, the other, a

curses and Slaughters.
The madness and despair Of many
haurs unloads itself in this out
burst. Faces are distorted, arms
strike out, the beasts scream; we
just stop in time to avoid attack
ing one another.
The onslaught ha seXhausted us.
We lie down to wait again. 1t is a
marvel that our post has had no
casualties so far. 1t is one of the

z MORE STRIKE
JURORS NEEDED
TO- FILL BOX
Second Special Panel Is
Exhausted With Only
Ten Men in Box.

BIZ United Press
CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. g.
Hope that a jury to try the sixteen
textile strikers on murder charges
would be completed today, went
glimmering when the second special
panel was exhausted with only ten
men in the jury box.
The ten jurors are:
S. L. Caldwell, a young farmer.
He sits in the jury box tWlrling MS
thumbs. A timid man, he rarely
oazes at the spectators. He was one
of the two who Monday refused 70
remove his coat, despite the heat.
J. o. Mccoy, steel plant employe'
has evinced little interest since ne
was approved. He tips back MS
chair, yawns many times day and
nlaces his hands behind his head as
he gaZes at veniremen.
Vendor Is Most Alert
Zeb Morris Jr.. another farmer
IS the dapper juryman. He is a
bridegroom of three months.
J. G. Campbell, newspaper ven
dor who wears a red rosebud pinned
ON his necktie, is the most alert OF
the Jurors. Hour after hour he sits
in an uncomfortable position to hear
questions of counsel and ruling OF
the court.
Av. w. Martin, a carpenter, has
spent many hours examining the
new trappings of the luxurious
county courthouse. He has shown
little interest in examinations of
other .veniremen.
j. W. Hicks. a cotton mill worker.
appears to be thinking of the job
he left to take up jury service. He
is interested only mildly in his COM
panions in the box.
A. F. Parker, grocer clerk, is the
handsomeSt man on the jury. He
is a member of the true light" re-
ligious cult which believes the world
will end in 1888.
Mods in Chair
G.L. Benson. a railway mail clerk,
wears a white patch over his eye to
cover discoloring. He was hit by a
baseball, he says.
Conrad c. Terrence, "a. has spent
twelve of these years in a textile
mill. He nodded in his chair less
than hour after he had been Sc
lected for jury duty. ...-
G. L. Shufford, -. IS the oldest
man on the jury. He is a railway
shop employe and has daughter
employed in hosiery mill.
The last three were approved to-
day. All ten are men OF modest
means but withal well dressed.

of men, women or children were
sluggish. It proved successful in
the most obstinate cases. So men
liked it. Old folks liked it because
it never gripes. Children liked its
pleasant taste. And everybody is
pleased with the gentle way it
accomplishes its purpose.
By 1888, the demand for this
laxative was so great that the
doctor permitted it to be bottled
and sold by drugstores. Today
you can obtain DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin from any drugstore
in the world.

INSTRUMENTATION Trial"

The continuous consumption OF tear
full scenes is the lot of Metropolitan pa
irons who see "On Trial." Warner
Brothers Vitaphone production, now in
its second week. The picture, woven
about a murder trial, furnishes me-
dunn to bring before the public Pauline
Frederick, Bert Lytell and Lois Wilson.
The major scenes are those transpiring
in courtroom in New York, where
Robert Strickland, self-confessed muir
derer, Is being tried. Other scenes aid
the director in presenting the testi-
mony of witnesses.
Pauline Frederick, as the wife of a
rich but unfaithful husband, is given
the opportunity to display her talents
as an actress.
Bert Lytell, the self-confessed muir
derer, with but a few exceptions, has
nothing more entertaining to occupy his
time through the progress Of his trial
than sit in silent virtuoSity. He appears
to advantage in those few scenes in
which testimony of witnesses depict him
as the stunned husband who has unex-
pectedly discovered possible moral
flaw in his beloved wife.
Lois Wilson, wife of Robert Strick-
.and, has pleasing Vitaphone voice.
This constitutes her most important adj
dition to the picture. Her testimony in
behalf of her husband carries her back
many years, to the time she was a girl
of II.
The picture, part-mystery, semi
drama and near-tragedy, has very
strong emotional appeal. Despite its
defects, it remains a powerful presen-
tation of that side of life which many
desire to witness, but few desire to ex-
pcTience.

synchronized with sound, completes the
