Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875,
the needs for a laxative were not
as great as they are today. Peo-
pie lived normal, quiet lives, ate
plain, wholesome food, and got
plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
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 to put
into their system. So he wrote
a prescription for a laxative to
be used by his patients.
The prescription for conStipa-
ticn that he used early in his
practice, and which he put in
drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. Caldwell'S Syrup
Pepsin, is a 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
relief from headaches. bilious
ness, fiatulence, indigestion, loss
of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds and
fevers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-A blind
reader wanting to take home the entire
story of Helen of Troy" would have
to hire wheelbarrow. Nevertheless.
the New York Association for the Blind,
as birthday present to itself on its
twenty-third anniversary, has voted to
enlarge its reading room. for use by the
countless blind people who work in and
come to the Lighthouse every day.
Modern novels come in as many as
seven volumes. and each volume is as
large as a section of the Encyclopedia
room. But the blind readehs read, in
spite of this material obstacle. and they
borrow their novels in sections for home
consumption.
Braille Uses Up Space.
While approximately only 200 books,
fiction and non-fiction, are available to
Lighthouse readers, they total more
than 1000 volumes when transcribed
into Braille, and require great deal
of shelf space. The average novel set
into raised character print fills an av-
erage of seven volumes-for each Braille
letter, large enough to At comfortably
under the cushion of the feeling" I'm
ger, necessarily takes up three times as
much space as the ordinary letter.

ever, from the necessity of feeling their
way slowly and precisely the blind in
stinctively move and live quietly and
leisurely. 1t would be hard to find
anywhere a reading room that breathes
the calm and effortless concentration
of the Lighthouse reading room"
Romance and Adventure Preferred.
Examination of the Braille books
most in demand gives interesting side
lights on the interest of blind people.
Novels and narratives are preferred,
showing that the sightless seek in fic-
ton the world denied them in reality.
Books of travel and adventure are read
eagerly. and, at the present writing,

lately been revised and is the standard
OF blind printing used the world over.
Today Braille has brought the world
beneath the blinds fingertips. In adj
dition to the hundreds of books trans
scribd monthly by Braille presses
throughout the country, there are nu-
merous Braille weekly, monthly and
quarterly magazines.
Fifteen magazines devoted to cur

music interests are received monthly at

Advantage of Clean
City Easy to Perceive

The annual cleanup has more as
poets than the esthetic, although that
is not to be scoffed at. A bright,
clean, well-kept city is pleasanter to
live in than shabby one; and it GER
tainly makes better impression on
visitors. The cleanup drive aims,
however, at. more than window Dress
ing, as it were. Cellars and other
store places of litter are cleared out,
as fire-prevention measure. Yards
are cleaned up so that they will not
be breeding places for disease-carry-
ing flies and mosquitoes. The object
Is to make the town q safer place to
live in, as well as more attractive
one.
An annual cleanup drive does not
imply an extraordinarily dirty city,
any more than the old-fashioned spring
housekeeping. which went from cellar
ito garnet and ended up with table
spoonful OF sulphur and molasses for
eacn member OF vne ramr1y. was an
indication Of sloyenly housekeeping.
AS a matter of fact it Is Fixed event

cities, towns and villages. III
