Reliable Laxative Relieved Child Was Badly Constipated Until Mother Tried Simple Remedy. In spite of every care and atten tion to diet, children are very apt to become constipated, a condition re sponsible for many ills in after life unless promptly relieved. Mrs. C. W. Wilson, of Shelbyville, Tenn., had trouble with her baby boy, Woodrow, until she heard of Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. She writes, "I «Sfin safely say Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy of its kind on earth. It acts so gently and yet --so surely. Little Woodrow was very badly constipated and we could find nothing that gave relief until we tried your Syrup Pepsin, which gave im mediate relief." Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, free from opiates or narcotic drugs, mild in action, positive in effect and pleasant to the taste. It has been pre scribed by Dr. Caldwell for more than a quarter of a century and can now be had for fifty cents a bottle in any TOWNSHIP LAWS IN CODIFIED FORM Important Work Completed by the State Legislative Refer ence Bureau The first compil- V\\ ® //J ation of the laws of vv\\ Pennsylvania relat v\\\A O/ ing to townships has just been com pleted by the State Legislative Refer fvGfHQPWQt!' ence Bureau and ll jwwraliwliw aCtS f]a, ' nß from been gathered into the form of a code fcifiSSMCEjiiSii which will be sub mitted to the next general assembly. The Legislature of 1915 enacted a sim ilar compilation relating to borough laws into a code and the township code was assembled under authority given last year. John H. Fertig and Frank M. Hunter compiled the acts under di rection of James N. Moore, of the bu reau. Mr. Moore in his preface says that the acts have been published in the ex act language as they appear in the pamphlet laws and that the arrange ment of the material was made with the view of setting out, under appro priate headings, the laws particularly applicable to each class of townships. "Considerable trouble was experienced with the numerous acts relating to municipalities," says Mr. Moore. "While the supreme court has lately ruled that a first class township is not a municipal corporation, there are sev eral late cases decided by the lower courts which rule that a township is a municipality. Pursuant to this rul ing a number of acts relating to mu nicipalities have been included." Jitney Cases. The Public Service commission will arrange dates at its Pittsburgh meeting this week for hear ings on the numerous contested appli cations for certificates to operate jit neys. These cases and complaints of alleged illegal operation have been re ceived from Wilkes-Barre, SHamokin, Athens and other places will likely be listed for Harrisburg together with some from Western Pennsylvania.

Ra/lroadNews RAILROAD WORK KEEPS MOVING Rain and Labor Shortage Has Caused Some Delay; East bound Hump Ready Railroad improvements in and about Harrisburg are moving slowly but surely. The scarcity of laborers is still a hindrance to rapid work. The Robert Grayce Company, contractors in charge of the concrete work on the Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge, look for better progress after the trestle work is completed from the island to the Harrisburg shore and the narrow-gauge line to carry the con crete is in operation. This firm has completed the con crete portion of the bridge over Mul berry street. The old steel bridge is now removed as far west as the island and the concreters will not have any interference. Concrete work on the northern portion of the bridge has been under way for several weeks and will move more satisfactorily when the concrete is furnished more promptly. Freight Foundation The work on the freight station foundations in South Harrisburg has been slow. Rain interfered with this contract by John L. L. Kuhn & Co., who are putting down the concrete foundations, and have been working short-handed at times, but most of the excavations are completed and the concrete workers will be able to move ahead without any further de lays, barring b?fa weather conditions. The new eastbound hump at Maclay street yards of the Pennsylvania Rail road is about ready for service. It is probable an order placing this im provement in service will be issued this week. The work of placing an additional track between Rutherford yards of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway has advanced rapidly. The grading is nearing completion and the work of putting down the tracks, which will be done by the company, is under way. This track will connect with the main line at Paxton street.

The Pennsylvania lines west are under stood to be figuring on as many more locomotives and the New York Cen tral has asked bids on twenty-five Mallet type engines. It is believed that this business will go to other concerns. Orders for sixty-one locomotives were taken last week by the American Locomotive Company. Of these twenty-five were of the Mallet type for the Chesapeake anil Ohio and thirty six are for export to Egypt, Cuba and Japan. Under ordinary conditions England would supply all locomotives required in Egypt.

He Couldn't Act; She Couldn't Eat; Divorce San Francisco.—Roena Wells told Judge Morgan that she was a very young girl in June, 1914, and believed everything that she was told and for that reason Roland W.

He was the r.vorst actor I ever saw." She was granted a divorce on the i technical grounds of failure to pro vide.

RACERS TUNE UP FOR SWEEPSTAKES Fastest Cars in America Line Up on Indianapolis Speedway By Associated Press Indianapolis, Ind., May 30. —More than a score of the fastest racing cars in America lined up to-day for the annual running of the international sweepstakes on the Indianapolis motor speedway. For the first time the speedway classic will be over less than 500 miles, this year's contest being for 300 miles. The prize list also has been reduced from $50,000 to $30,000. Some of the best names in the mo tor racing world appear in the list of drivers. Barney Oldfleld says this Is his fare well appearance as a driver In a big race. . K.xpeet New Records A cool day is probable, and this, many believe, means the breaking of the records for the contest set last year when Ralph de Palma averaged 89.84 miles an hour. Although the race did not start until 1.30 this afternoon, the rush to the speedway started early this morning. Thousands of enthusiasts came in yes terday, but the influx was increased many fold this morning when auto mobiles filled with race fans streamed into the city from every direction and thousands of others came by steam and electric lines. PHILADELPHIA IS POLITICAL CENTER fContinued From First Pago] of Mr. Brown, and one which at tracted wide comment, was the fact that he did not say for what the people he mentioned were pledged to the Governor, whether for President or for chairman. The Penrose people at once claimed that Delegates Beale, Fisher. Jermyn, Watres, Berger, Cole man, Stamm, Adamson, Baker and others were for Penrose for chair man. although some of them would likely aire the Governor presidential votes, J Give Out list or Delegates In addition to making the claim Mr. Brown urged that friends of the Governor should stay away from the delegate conference scheduled for Philadelphia to-morrow, although he admitted that, the State committee meeting would be legal. Last night Paul N. Furman, of the Brumbaugh headquarters, put out typewritten lists of State committeemen with friends of the Governor starred. The letter made no request and its object was not understood. Committeemen Smith and Etter, of this county, were classed among the Governor's friends. A. Carson Stamm. who visited the Governor at the Executive Mansion last night, told friends he was not pledged to anyone for anything and that he intended to attend the dele gate meeting. Charles Johnson, former State In surance Commissioner, who was here to-day, said that there was no doubt about Senator Penrose winning all along the line. Tt was Mr. Johnson's tlrst visit here since he resigned and he was warmlv greeted by friends. Moved to Philadelphia The Brumbaugh headquarters staff moved to Philadelphia to-day to be near the scene of to-morrow's meet ings and theer were no statements to be found. Thursday the advance guard will mobilize here and proceed to Pittsburgh where Henry G. Wasson, the expiring national committee man will join it and Friday the head quarters of the Governor will be opened in Chicago. Paul N. Furman will he in charge and will be joined by Attorney General Brown Sunday and by the Governor on Monday. It will then be decided who is to present the Governor's name. Congressman W. S. Vare may do the speech making. The efforts of the Governor's people were being bent to-day to keep people away from the conference of delegates and the claim Is being made that, the conference should be postponed until Tuesday at Chicago. On the way some deelgates act in this matter will depend heads of their henchmen at the Capitol. The general orders fo- dismissals are about ready, but some will be held up until after the convention. Others may he heard of on June 1. In his statement last night Mr. Brown said: "I am in receipt of Inquiries relative to a proposed meeting in Philadelphia on Wednesday, May 31, of the dele gates to the National Republican Con vention, and have Informed all inqulr- MAY 30, 1916. era that such a meeting is called with out authority or right. "The usual and proper place for such a meeting is in Chicago the day before the convention. The count is not yet complete. All of the returns are not in and several counties are yet to be heard from. "X assume that this proposed irreg ular Philadelphia meeting will not be attended by delegates pledged to sup port Governor Brumbaugh. "The support of the following dele gates who were elected was promised to the Governor either by their sworn pledges, or by personal assurances made by them, or by their political sponsors and they were aided to their election by the campaign committee for a Reunited Republican Party and by the friends of the Governor. "Delegates-at-large: William F. Aaron, Martin G. Brumbaugh. "District delegates: William S. Vare, William McCoach, John H. Bromley, William Abrahams, John J. McKinley, William R. Knight, Jr., Harry D. Beas ton, William Potter, Horace A. Beale, William A. Beale, William W. Griest, H. Edgar Shertz, Edward B. Jermyn, | Louis A. Watres, Charles N. Loveland, I Charles E.

Stough, T. W. Tobias, John E. Baker, D. Guy Hollin ger, James S. Beacon, F. W. Phillips, 'John S. Fisher, Harry K. Dougherty, William A. Magee, Dr. R. J. Black. "I am reliably Informed since the election that the Governor will receive the aid of at least three others, and possibly six. "To show the extremity to which the I opponents of the Governor have been j forced in some cases where the dele ! gates have refused to go to the meet ing on Wednesday of this week, they I have enlisted the presence of alternate ! delegates both at large and district. I No alternate has any right to represent a delegate except .in ihe absence of delegates in the convention. The na tional committee in the call for its election of delegates pledged itself and the party to the upholding of the State laws, and further pledges the party that there will be no fiasco as oc curred in 1912 in the making up of the temporary roll, when duly elected and certified delegates were cast aside. The scheme of Senator Penrose of sub stituting nubssrvlent alternates in the place of regular delegates at his rump meeting on Wednesday is something that he well knows will not be toler ated. It shows his desperation. "I have also received inquiries from members of State committee elected lon ticket friendly to the Governor of the proposed meeting for Wednesday, ' May 31. As that is regularly called,, I assume that. It will be attended to by | all who desire to go and I know of no I reason for any absences." Congressman John R. K. Scott, of I Philadelphia, who was renominated for Congress-at-large to-day filed a I statement showing that he had spent $2,804.15 in his campaign and that he had unpaid bills amounting to $3,- 307.57. Printing, postage, contribu tions and similar items made up most of the list of expenditures. General Pershing Orders Restoration of Road By Associated Press Columbus, N. M., May 30. —Despite reports that the American expedition ary column Is to be withdrawn from Mexico, General J. J. Pershing has given orders to the military authorities here to begin restoring an old graded road running from Palomas, on the Mexican side,, to a point near Colonia Dublan. This roadbed was surveyed a number of year's ago for a projected railroad to the Mormon colony in the State of Chihuahua. MKIVMi OF HONOR IS AWARDED FIRST DEFKNDER SURVIVOR Allentown, Pa., May 30. —Frorh Sec retary of War Baker there arrived yes terday for Ignatz Gresser, one of two surviving First Defenders, here, a cer tificate to the effect that his name had been placed on the Army and Navy Medal of Honor. Roll, under the act of Congress approved April 27, 1916. The letter slates: "Your name has been entered and recorded on the roll, and the cer tificate authorized by law is Inclosed, with special mention that a medal of honor has been awarded you for most distinguished gallantry in action at Antietam, September 17, 1862.", The congressional medal of honor came (o Comrade Gresser for saving the life of a fallen comrade under heavy fire, the man saved being Wil liam H. Sowden, later congressman. The medal is inscribed '"For Valor on the Field of Battle." ALLHARRISBURG BOWER OF BEAUTY Hundreds of Porch and Win dow Boxes Up and Many More to Come All Harrisburg is a bower of flowers to-day. Hundreds of private resi dences and business places have been decorated with porch and window boxes. The Telegraph's movement to make Harrisburg the Flower City of Pennsylvania has met with a wonder ful success. The city never was so at tractive as to-day. Dozens upon doz ens of boxes went up in the past few days and so pressing was the demand that many could not be completed in time. The time for entering the contest ex pired to-day, although a few late com ers remain to be tabulated the list is now practically complete. In a few days a delegation will make the rounds of the city, inspecting the boxes. Two other inspections will be made, one in mid-summer and one in early Fall to complete the awards. Col. Roosevelt Reviews Boy Scouts and Speaks in West By Associated Press Kansas City, Mo., May 30. An address by Colonel Theodore Roose velt was the principal event on Kansas City's program for the observance of Memorial Day. The day's ceremonies tailed for a review by Colonel Roose- Ivelt of one thousand Boy Scouts and ! a parade through the downtown dis 'trlcts where hundreds of flags had | been used in decorating business | buildings. Five thousand seats in Convention | Hall had been reserved for members 1 of the G. A. R. and the Confederate Veterans that they might hear the ; former President speak at 4 o'clock, i Prior to going to the Hall, Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of honor at a noonday luncheon given by the Commercial Club. Roosevelt Mobbed by Party of Chicago Friends Special to the Telegraph Chicago, 111., May 30. There were absolutely no precautions taken to keep Theodore Roosevelt from be ing mobbed when he reached the La Salle Street Station here late yester day afternoon on his trip from New York to Kansas City. No police protection was afforded at the station and the result was that Colonel Roosevelt was hustled here and there, pushed, pulled, shoved about and manhandled by the enorm ous crowd that, filled the station and the streets outside. ; Newspapermen and committeemen fought to clear a space around Col onel Roosevelt and to make a way for him to get through the station to where an automobile awaited him, but it was hard work and took many minutes. Preparedness and War To the newspapermen Colonel Roosevelt made a brief address on preparedness as a prevention of war. He characterized as ridiculous the plea that military preparedness invites war. "If you don't let your sons learn to write," he said, "they won't turn out to be forgers. It is as absurd to advocate the abolition of writing in the public schools to prevent boys be coming forgers as it is to declare that we should not give military training to our boys for fear that they will bring about a war." Brumbaugh to Open Quarters The total number of contests filed thus far is 40, which involve the right of K2 delegates to seats In the con vention. Senator John W. Weeks, of Massa chusetts, will arrive to-morrow to re main until after the convention. Campaign headquarters for Senator U Y. Sherman, of Illinois; Senator Al bert B.

Two additional booms of candidates for the Republican nomination for President were hrought to Chicago to day. They were those of Charles Evnns Hughes, of New York and T. Coeman duPont of Delaware. Frank H. Hitchcock, accompanied by William L. Ward, former Republi can National Committeeman from New York, launched the pre-convention campaign in the interest of Justice Hughes.
