They called this Dalny When the
Russo-Japanese war began, eight years
later, the city was well built up accord

Port Arthur is also known by another

1t was selected by the two powers as

Doctor at 50 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness
has not changed since DR.. Cald-
we'll left Medical College in 1875,
nor since he placed on the market
the laxative prescription he had
used in his practice, known TO
druggists and the public since
1892 as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin.
Then. the treatment of consti-
patton, biliousneSs, headaches,
mental depression. indigestion,
sour stomach and other indisposi-
tions that result from constipation
was entirely by means of simple
vegetable laxatives. herbs and
roots. These are still the basis of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination of SIENNA
and other mild laxative herbs
with pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He
did not believe they we're good for
human beings to put into their
system. If grown people want to
use them no one can deny them
the privilege. but they should
never be given to children.
The simpler the remedy for
constipation, the safer for the
child and for you, and the better
for the general health of all. And
as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, why take
chances with strong drugs? All
drug stores have the generous
bottles.

BROWNS TRAFFIC
PLAN COMES BACK
Dougherty Suggests Present
Taxicab Regulations
Be Enforced.

A recommendation from Inspector E.
W. Brown, in charge of the Traffic Blu
reau, that all empty taxicabs be barred
from F and g streets between Ninth
and Fifteenth streets, which reached
Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty to-
day, was promptly sent back to Brown
for further study.
Commissioner Dougherty said that he
had informed Brown that relief of con-
gestion on these two streets from taxi
cabs could probably best be secured by
enforcing the regulations on the sub
ject already on the books. Commissioner
Dougherty said that the regulations he
referred to were those preventing taxis
with livery tags from picking up fares
on the streets and prohibiting cabs
from lettering.
The proposed regulation was attacked
before it reached Commissioner Dough-
erty by the Independent cab interests,
most of whose vehicles operate on H
tags. They claim it would be dtscrim-
nation against them in favor of cor
porations using the L tags.

nearly seventy-five thousand in killed
and wounded. Within q space of a few
square miles these two forces fought
desperately almost throughout the year
1904. Actual siege operations were not
in progress during all of this time, but
in effect the Russians were bottled up
on the tip of the peninsula, and their
fleet was shut inside of the harbor by
an operation of blockading much like
that which Hobson undertook at San
tiago during the Spanish American war.
Today our party went over part Of the
field of this siege. We could not posi-
bly, cover it all. The distances are too
great and the hills are too high for such
an expedition in a single span Of "a
hours. Students of military history and
technique may spend many weeks here
profitably. Tourists such as we must

So We returned to Dalny.
But on the way to North Fort We did
get fairly intimate glimpse of the
conflict, by going through the War
Museum, now established in building
formerly used by the Russians as an
officers club. There we saw not only
the relics of the contest, arms and am
munition, clothing, tools, equipment,
pitiful souvenirs of a tragedy. We saw
large-scale plaster models of the ter
rain of some of the important opera
tons, North Fort and 203-Meter Hill
included. We saw, in the very walls
of the structure. holes made by the
Japanese shells. the roof timbers splin-
tered jaggedly and the. plaster close

fragments. These holes are carefully

OLD CHICAGO SKYSCRAPER
STILL SOUND WHEN RAZED
Wreckers Find Steel Framework in
Perfect Condition-No Traces
of Rust in Columns.

The condition of the Tacoma Build
ing, Chicago's oldest Skyscraper, exam
ined as the UreckerS RACED the build
ing, bears out the conclusions reached
by the committee on depreciation and
cbsolescence Of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, who re-
Gently completed a study of the life eX-
rectancics of various types of buildings
and presented this study in report form.
The useful life of a skyscraper was
estimated by the committee at 40 years.
In reference to its conclusions on sky
scrapers. on which duration of expert
ence is insufficient to base a Judgment
as to actual physical life of these build
ings. the report states: so far as the
construction Of skyscrapers is concerned,
Il is perfectly possible that these build
ings ma be in excellent condition at
the end of 50 or even 100 years. but 1t
is unlikely that their period Of economic
usefulness can be much longer than 40
years"
The old Tacoma Building proved to
be as sound structurally on the day of
its Wreckage as it was on the day of its
completion. but it must give way to a
new 49-story structure. Examination
OF the building when partially wrecked
showed that there were no traces of
