Most Effective Remedy Mother Ha Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieves Baby When Other Medicines Failed. There is nothing so necessary to a child's health and comfort as regular ity of the bowels. All children are especially surceptible to stomach trouble and any overstrain of the sensitive organs has a tendency to obstruct elimination. This condition Is responsible for much of the illness of childhood. To relieve constipation a mild laxa tive should be employed. Cathartics and purgatives are violent in their action and should be avoided. Mrs. Alfred Du Bois, Mt. Holly, N. J., says Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is with out doubt the most effective remedy for constipation she has ever used and that it is the only remedy she could find for her baby. Little Earl was badly constipated during his tirst year and nothing she tried seemed to help him until she got a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

C„ Jan. 26.—Argen tina's military system is serving as a model for the universal service bill now being drafted by a committee of the army general staff. Officers fa miliar with staff opinion said that while details had not been completed, the measure would follow closely the Argentine scheme, and was designed to keep half a million men under training, with 2,500,000 trained reser vists suoject to call. It probably will be weeks before the hill and accompanying estimates ot costs aro ready for submission to the secretary of war. The chairman of the house military committee has asked to see it, anil it will be sent to the capitol for the committee's in formation, though there is no indica tion that it will go with any sort of endorsement from tl.e administration. Secretary Baker has not said whether he will approve or disapprove. The main feature of the staff bill will be its provision for one year of intensive military instruction "for all youths subject to its terms. It is ex pected that exemptions due to physi cal disqualifications and for other rea sons, including possibly the conscrip tion of certain men for work in indus trial plants necessary in war times, would leave available for army train ing between 4 50,000 and 500,000 of the 1.000,000 boys who reach the age of eighteen each year. In fixing upon a year as the mini mum time (or training, tl.e general staff has followed the theory that the United States seeks to provide only for an army of defense. It has been stated to the house committee by Major General Scott that although European nations give every soldier at least two years of hard work before turning him into the reserve, because of the geographical position of the country a year will suffice here. The argu ment advanced to support this view was that there would be sufficient time to give finishing touches to the military education of reservists after war had broken out and before in vading expeditions could be landed in force. In a broad way the of the general staff continental army plan of last year would be followed in dis tributing tactical units of the re serve into nineteen infantry and six cavalry divisions. Reservists would be liable for two years' service in this force before passing into the unor ganized reserve. The result, when the system has been in operation a number of years, would be to give 500,000 men under arms and in process of training, a million more trained, equipped, or ganized and ready for immediate mus ter as first line troops, and behind these the unorganized, but trained reserve numbering more than 1,500,- 000. This is the basis on which esti mates of cost will be made by the general staff .committee. Woman Stops Workmen by Waving Old Glory Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Jan. 2<.—When workmen for a telephone company endeavored to place a pole in front of the property of Mrs. Jennie Hoffer, she warned them to stop. When they refused, she secured a large American flag and declared she would place Old Olory in the hole the men had started to dig. "If I am forced to cover that pole hole with this flag," she said, "I will defy any one of you to disturb the Stars and Stripes. If you do, you will answer to me light here." The half dozen workmen went away. Mrs. Ilofter then forced a spe cial meeting of Council, argued her case before the commission and de parted with the assuracce that her interests would be protected, and that the pole would not be placed in front of her property.

(Continued) She was well-night frantic at four o'clock, but at that hour the elevator clicked, and she was at the door! Not Tavy, tired, but flushed and wide eyed, and full of happiness of her tri umph. Not Billy, tall and smiling, and proud, that'he had taken away so precious a charge and returned that charge in safety. Tommy Tinkle and CJeraldino Benning! "Where's Tavy?" Mrs. Stuart's voice had a phrill break in it. "There hasn't been an accident?" "Not to Tavy." Tommy's tone was grave. "Billy had a slight accident." She knew! Knew the whole bitter truth. "Where's Tavy?" The ashes had come back to her face, to her voice, to her eyes. "With Billy." No whimsicality now in Tommy. "She slipped away with liim, to take care uf him I think. We've been hunting them l'or two hours, rather aimlessly. Mr. Benning is down in the car, asleep. I've formed a theory. Tavy is driving about some place with Billy until," Tommy paused for a word, "until he feels better." Mrs. Stuart motioned them to chairs, but she did not sit down. "He was drunk again!" Nothing can express the bitter contempt she laid upon that word. "Is there no way to find them?" "Only by luck," Tommy told her. "I've telephoned to every place with which Billy might be in communica tion; but no one's heard of him." Mrs. Stuart walked up and down the floor, her nails clenched into her palms. Her face was so colorless that her very hair seemed to be turning grayer. "It is perhaps for the best," she Anally decided, extracting what crumb of comfort she could out of that. "It would have happened sooner or later anyhow, and now it is over." Tommy turned sharply to Geraldlne. "Shall I tell her, or will you?" "Tell me what?" She stopped abruptly, and fastened her gaze not upon Tommy, but upon Geraldine. The girl started to cry, and in Mrs. Stuart's eyes there came a glow. "Out with it, Geraldine," sternly commanded Tommy. Then the whole miserable confes siion, between sobs and tears and pleas for forgiveness; and, as Ger aldine proceeded, the glow in the eyes of Jean Stuart burst into flame. "And you did this to my girl!" she cried. "You, who have everything, did this to my Tavy, who has' never harmed any living creature!" She stood quivering with anger, and there rose in her, for the first time in her gentle life, a tigerish lust. Tommy Tinkle,* who could see through words and faces, and even thoughts, raised Geraldine from her chair and led her outside, in her Egyptian costume, and came back to Mrs. Stuart for a moment. "Would you rather I'd remain here with you, or shall I go out again and see if I can find them?" "Bring me Tavy!" she begged. "I want her!" The black river flowed on and on past the windows, its current streak ed with monotonous snake-like swirls lof oily black and shimmering white. The little Dresden clock ticked mon- I otonously away, snipping off its tiny bits of time and tossing them back into eternity. The stars paled from their long vigil of the night, and still Jean Stuart did everything that she could do; she waited! Was there no way that she could reach out through the night, and take I her daughter by the hand and draw her home? Was there no way that she could see through the intervening walls and rest her eyes upon every thing she had in the world. Was there no way in which she could cast | a thought upon the insensate air, and glean knowledge in return? Was there no quarter to which she could turn for help, for news, for even the sound of a human voice? She must take part in something active! if she were only to go down on the Drive and over into the next street, to look she would feel that she was doing something, no matter how futile toward the ending of this in tolerable suspense. What mad freak might a drunken man take into his mind, into what trouble might he not plunge, into what desperate sur rounding might he not take Tavy' Her hand was on the door, with a frantic impulse to rush out, she knew not where, and stop what impend ing danger there might be; but a new thought stayed her hand.

As her frantic im agination had devised one frightening picture after another, so his Imagin ation had been at work with its ap prehensions. Scarcely .two miles a parti they had shared the same solicitude the same heartache, the same an guish through all the dreary, lagging minutes of that long night; and she had no one to comfort her. Jean! He had heard her voice, her dear voice: Dawn. The swirls of oily black o"n the surface of the never-teasing river have begun to merge in the swirls of shimmering white, and now a lumi nous graynesa begins to obliterate them both. The stars in the sky are puling last. In the west, one low lying cloud, by some magic of re flection, catches the tinge of dull pink, and the lights on the Drive, and lights in tlife little enchanted parlor, have turned a sickly yelloxv. Over tlio earth there comes that chill which is the shudder of the universe at awakening. Dull day Is breaking, and bringing with it its always new bur den of sorrow and of tears; happi ness for some, perhaps, but not for women who wait. At last! Just as the low-lying cloud loses its touch of pink and dulls to the gray in which this morning is to shroud itself, there comes a click of the elevator! Again she is at the door, scarce knowing how she arrives there; but it is not Tavy, haggard and worn from her watch of the night, with Billy repentant and hum ble and ugly with his sin. It is a tall, slender, elderly gentleman with a silver Vandyke, and, when he re moves his hat, a crop of waving white hair. How strangely the caller stares! He stands motionless! He tries to speak! In the dark gray eyes there Is a swiftly gathering moisture, and, for some unaccountable reason, she begins to tremble! Her hands grope flutteringly, then a great, flood of light leaps up In her, and they are In each other's arms, the tears of love blinding their eyes. Jean! Oh, thou good and faithful Jean! Thou true Jean! Thou Jean that has suffered, and borne, and waited! Oh. may all the blessings of Heaven and earth be thine, thou Jean! -May there be happiness enough, in the days yet to come, to efface, in part, thy misery in the weary years that are gone! Jean! Jean! CHAPTER XXVIII Happiness is a Solfisli Pleasure What should she do with him; that is, just now? Tavy studied Billy in dull silence, as he sat huddled in the corner of the car, asleep. Her re pugnance of him had passed. He had not only offended her delicacy, but he had destroyed it. for the tinie being; and now she calmly took up this sordid, practical question. Thev were well into the city, by this time, so she told the chauffeur to drive around the Park until she gave him further orders. She had much to deliberate; for, on what she did with Billy now, might depend what she did with him in the future. % Let her look conditions squarely in the face. First of all, she had no illusions left about her love being able to hold Billy safe against his enemy. Her mother and father had both been right. Through life, Billy might expect to meet this foe at any unforeseen turn, and be beaten by it, and kicked aside with disdain, a helpless, formless, brainless what? Bow-Wow! That was her first sob, that thought. Tommy had been most kind, but he had not deceived her. They were all the same; Bow-Wow, and John Doe, and Harrison Stiiar'; and her father! She could sTlHway to weeping now, for she was all alone beneath the stars and the bending trees, all, all alone; for the one who could best comfort her in any afflic tion, whose strong arm should be her stay, was huddled there in the corner, locked by numbness in that lax body which could only contain Billy when it was upright. She could weep now, but it was not the girl Tavy who wept; it was the woman Tavy. The girl Tavy was gone, never to return Oh, Billy, Billy! Torn by her need of oomfort and help, she reached out and put her hand upon him, even leaned over and put her head upon his shoulder. He breathed heavily and mumbled something in his sleep, and the shoulder of the disturbed ani- TO STOP BAD COUGH SOOTHE DRY, IRRITATED THROAT WITH PARMINT SYRUP.
