Relieve Your Indigestion With A Laxative .1 ' \ Dysj>eptics know that indigestion is accompanied! by constipation, and that until the bowels can be regulated SO they will act freely and naturally every day at • stated timej swallowing dyspepsia tablets is of little use. . A great and growing number of sufferers from this trouble find immediate and then permanent relief by the use of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. The laxative herbs act on the bowels and the pepsin and ex tracts on the digestive tract, forming an exceptionally effective laxative-tonic. It is a combination that has been found wonderfully helpful in indigestion, constipation, biliousness, headaches, bad breath, belching and gas on the stomach. A small dose is all that is required. The druggist will refund your money if it fails to do as promised.

I DUTCH ACCEPT U.S. PROPOSAL TO : TAKE OVER SHIPS II German Government's Inabil ity to Furnish Wheat J ' Hastens Decision By Associated Press Thr Hague. Monday, March IS.— ' j Holland has accepted with certain "conditions the Anglo-American de , niand regarding Dutch shipping. I \ This was announced in the Second Chamber to-day by Dr. boudon, the i ! Foreign Minister, who added that t! Holland could jiot go further and was ,! awaiting the Anglo-American reply .j to its latest communication. The ! minister's declaration, which will be \ discussed by the Chamber Tuesday, t said: , I "The German government, having ■ I declared its inability to furnish 100,- • 000 tons of wheat in two months, the ; ; Dutch government finds 'tself com ! pellort to accept the demand for sail ' ing Dutch ships through the danger zone which the American and British j governments had attached to the de i livery on April 15 of 100,000 tons of ! wheat." Dr. I.oudon added, however, that the assent of the Dutch government was based on conditions. Included among these conditions were the claims that tile Allied governments | should guarantee that no troops of ! war materials be transported on the ships and that vessels destroyed be ! replaced by others after the war. Another condition was that bunker cc al necessary for transporting mer chandise to Holland ought to be fur i nished Dutch ships. Dr. Loudon explained that The j Netherlands bad been ready to ae | cept the provisional arrangement by t which 100,000 tons of grain would be supplied on account, in accordance with the "basis of the agreement" , with the Allies, when the associated l governments suddenly sprang the de mand that the released tonnage also should be used in the danger zone. Washington, March 19.—Requisition | of Dutch ships in American waters ' still awaited word from' bondon at noon to-day and officials indicated that actual seizure would not take j place until The Netherlands govern ; ment had been heard from. A reply to the American and Brit- j I ish demands was said to have been i dispatched through bondon, but it I has not been received here. Ail departments which will take part in the seizure were ready to pro ceed the minute the word was given. Proclamation by President Wilson announcing the requisition and the reasons for it was prepared and ■ signed yesterday ready for issuance. I.omlon. March 19.—N0 eonfirma ' tlc-n having been received through | either the British Minister at The Hague or the Dutch Minister here of. Holland's reported acceptance of the Allies' terms respecting the use of i Dutch shipping. Great Britain, it is : learned, has sent a fresh notification Ito The Hague. In this, it is said, | that, failing unequivocal acceptance i of their terms, the Allies must pro j ceed immediately to requisition the j vessels. Naval Officers Board Dutch Vessel; Later Leave By Associated Press •\m York, March 19.—Apparently through a misunderstanding, one of ! the Dutch ships in New York har . bor, the Samaerinda, was boarded by officers of the Naval Reserve to-day and her commander notified that they had come to take possesion of the I ship in the name of tne American t Government. Tile rommander was ! told that the American flag would go up at noon and that the officers and i crew of the ship would be given un til midnight to leave. ; The commander of the Samaerinda ' reported the circumstances to the ' Rotterdam IJoyd, her owners, and i said he w'as preparing to obey, when shortly after noon he again reported, saying the naval officers had left the ship. He said the naval officers ; had informed him they had been in i structed' to return to the navy yard j and that the contemplated seizure I had been postponed. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SPEAK BEFORE THE CIVIC CLUB Three Intensely Interesting Subjects Brought Before Women ol" City Members of the Civic Club, in session yesterday afternoon, had three great treats on the program, beginning with a talk by Hiram H. Shenk, state custodian of public rec ords, who gave his experience of three months with the educational department of the Y. M. C. A. in southern training camps. He ex tolled the work of that great body of men, the Knights of Columbus, and the cheer given through the hostess houses of the Y. W. C. A. He said that no workers had influence with the; soldiers unless they were willing to sacrifice as much as they and there was no room for slackers in the V. M. C, A. work. Mrs. William Henderson, the pres ident, presided, introducing Mrs. James G. Sanders, who recently came here from the University of Wisconsin, where she was connected with the department of vocal music. Mrs. Sanders was recently appointed chairman of the community singing movement for this city; and gave an admirable paper on community sinking, the text of which will ap pear in Saturday's issue o? this paper. See a Ileal All} Miss Carol Rogers, of London. England, was the next speaker, and everyone was glad to welcome a real ally. A call for Oxfor.i Univer city women as 'imbulanoo drivers in Fiance was real in a 1-ondoii morn ing paper at the jucotcal: of the war, and Carol Rogers, a journalist, pating thr_i . fr'ir. her home in Dajeeling, India, responded. Miss Rogers, who is a guest of Har risburg friends, would not give an interview, for she feels that thou sands of women are doing mora than she. and that her experience is in no way remarkable. Hhe feels, however, that any information for the good of the allies must be given. Miss liogers drove an ambulance for nine months along the French firing line, but could not be pre vailed upon to tell of the bloodshed and suffering. •"Let me tell you of the beautiful spirit of co-operation —how men and women are iindfng God who never knew him." After ■nine months without a furlough, re turning \o England for brief recu peration, in response to the urgent call for women supervisors in mu nitions factories, she enlisted for that service and had charge of 12,- 000 for two years, 6,000 a day turn and 6,000 at night. llcmiUful Spirit of Women The spirit of the English women is so wonderful. In certain depart ments the material employed is highly explosive and the gases un dermine rapidly the physical condi tion. yet the womenwould come by the hundreds and plead with her to be placed in these departments; and although told of the danger, would say, "I don't care, I am not doing enough for my country in the shell department; let me go into the ex plosives." "During the air raids I -did not see one case of hysteria," said Miss Rogers. "If the Zep had dropped a bomb it meant the death of us all but they were quiet as death while tiic Zeps were passing and when the safety signal was given they all broke out in song, "Keep the Home Fires Burning." Miss Rogers is appalled l>y the ' great waste of everything ip this i country. "The magnificent dinners in New York do not appeal to one who for several years has seen the starving. Saving is reduced to a ■science abroad. Tn one English camp the dishwater was strained, the fat going into nitroglycerine to make eighteen million shells. Glass is expensive and scarce. The boys from town gathered all the bottles, etc.. they could find and received $15,000 for their energy one season. Fof thirty cents the best luncheon a restaurant can give is purchased, and only army officers are allowed to purchase seventy-five cents' worth of food at a time. No pastry or iced cake is served any where, even in private homes, and no one is permitted to pay more than sixpence for afternoon tea." Miss Rogers doesn't advie women volunteering for work abroad unless they are trained social workers at their homes. She feels the Ameri can women can do more at home. And her message to the women of America is, "Pray; systematic prayer is the only thing that will keep God with us, for, notwithstanding all our resources, if He is not with us we cannot win." Get-Together Meeting For Soldiers' Families I A line vaudeville profram has been | arranged for the March get-together i meeting of the Ked Cross entertain ment committee and the families of men ill service, to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Civic Club houe. Every woman who has a relative serving this country, either in the Army or Navy, is invited to be pres ent. Tea will be served afterward, with Mrs. Mar]in E. Olmsted pour ing. assisted by Mrs. Brumbaugh, Mrs. George B. Kunkel, Miss Cora j I-.ee Snyder, Mrs. Charles Ryder, I Miss Mary PearsoYi, Mrs. A. P. Mc | guire, Mrs.-Arthur A. Herr and Mrs. | William Pearson. MIST ISOLATE CHICKEN" HOUSE While city health authorities en dorsed the campaign to enlist ad ditional poultry raisers over the country, they issued a notice that any residents in the city who erect houses to shelter chickens must obey the regulations of the department re quiring that such pens must be at least twenty feet from any dwelling house. The otllcials also said the pens must be kept clean and in a sanitary condition. SCHOOL BONDS SOLD The $441,000 issue of bonds of the city school district was purchased by Lyons Singer & Company, Harris Forbes & Company and the Guar anty Trust Company, submitting one bid of par, accrued interest and a premium of $5,225. The school board awarded the contract at its special meeting yesterday afternoon. YOUTH CHARGED WITH THEFT ' Theodore Hoopes, aged 18, of 719 Capital street, was arrested by the police on the charge of stealing ti boat belonging to the city from Mc cormick's Island. It is said he stole the boat In company with two other boys. HOTEL AWNING BURNS Kive tire companies responded to an alarm from box 221, last night, and watched an awning over a third floor window of the I,enox Hotel burn. No other damage was done. It is thought the awning was Ignited by a cigait-l thrown from a window.
