DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules

CARELESS of how much one tries to
avoid it. Of next Importance,
then, is how to treat it when it
comes. DR.. Caldwell always was
in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is a mild vegetable compound.
It can not harm the most deli
cate system and is not a habit
forming preparation. Syrup Pep
sin is pleaSant-tasting, and
youngsters love it. It 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 systems. In a practice of
Al years he never saw any reason
for their use when a medicine
like Syrup Pepsin will empty the
bowels just as promptly, more
clearly and gently. without
gripping and harm to the system.
Keep free from constipation!

your arteries and brings on pre-

NATIONAL PLAYERS-"Madame X

Beginning Monday, the National
Theater Players will present for the
week one of the outstanding dramas of
the modern theater, Madame X" a
play that was a sensational success on
beth sides of the Atlantic. 1t has not
been played in Washington in two
decades.
Students of the theater consider the
role of Madame x one of the greatest
emotional parts ever written. 1t came
from the pen of Alexander Bison, one
of the foremost authors of France. and
will be intrusted to Miss Mary Newton
leading lady with the National Theater
Players, who has been acclaimed as
one Of the finest of the modern Madame
Ks.
The story concerns Louis Floriot, his
wife. Jacqueline, and their son, Ray
mond. When the little fellow was a
helpless babe, the mother ran away
with a lover. Hearing of her child's
serious illness, she returned and asked
forgiveness, only to be cast out by an
irate husband. The woman went down
to the depths and in later years, when
her son was a promising young attor-
ney. she was hailed before the bar of
justice for the murder of her lover.
Hiding her identity, she was known
only as Madame x" and, as such. was
defended by her own son. This is the
high spot of an intensely thrilling story.
Wilfred Lytell will play the part of
the son, Raymond Floriot. and the Ma
tional Theater patrons doubtless will
welcome the announcement that one
of their old favorites, John Glynn Nc
Farlane, will return to play the i'm
portant role of the father. Louis Floriot.
There are also exacting parts for
Charles HamDden, Robert Brtster and
Freddie Sherman.

U. 5. Believes French
Plan

WASHINGTON. Dec. % - 1F -
With the delivery at the state de-
partment tonight OF the French
note giving the attitude Of that
government toward the London
naval conference. a conviction was
expressed in official quarters that
the French position would not con-
stitute an important obstacle to the
parley.
The French stand came as no
surprise to officials here. There
we're indications it had been expect-
ed the French would maintain with
regard to the forthcoming confer
ence a similar position TO that held
during former considerations OF the
disarmament question.
Aside from intimating that the
French note caused no fears for
the success OF the London parlev.
state department officials declined
to discuss the communication.
