The Relieve Your With A Laxative Dyspeptics 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 a stated time; •wallowing 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 pipoin 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 a s promised.

In view of the recent rumors of possible naval activities by the Ger mans to accompany their land of fensive the news from London to day showing British naval forces have been operating in the Cattegat. the strait between Swe.len and Denmark and have sunk ten German ' trawlers there, is significant. Still more significant seems the form of the British announcement which comes in a report from Vice- Admiral Sir David Bentty, com mander-in-chief of the grand fleet. This would appear to indicate the grand fleet is out and possibly pre sages most important naval devel opments. Swoop Up Minos The operation was undertaken yes terday for the purpose of sweeping the Cattegat of mines the report shows, and may still be in progress. What further British effort, if any the operation implies, cannot well be forecast. It is indicative of intensi fied British naval activities at any rate if not preliminary to far more important operations on the part of the British naval forces. 1 /Oavo America lis Alone '>n the Pieardy battlefield the Ger man attacks on Hagard have died down. Very violent artillery Pre continues there and the French gun ners have dispersed enemy infantry attempting to advance from Demuin.

The Russian Heet cf 200 vessels stationed at Heisingfors was reported to have escaped to i Kronstadt last week. Danger of ti crisis in the British cabinet is believed to have been avoided through a conference the la bor ministers had with Premier Lloyd George. They urged the pre mier to grant self-government to Ire land on the basis of the majority ie port of the Irish convention and his reply is reported to have been satis factory. Meanwhile a home rule bill is being drawn up and meetings of protest against conscription are being held throughout Ireland. CAMPAIGN PLANNED FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY [Continued from First Pago.] street car and poster advertisement in the city. The. Mayor hopes to make his "Protect Yourself" as widespread locally, as the "Safety First" slogan of the railroad campaigns were na tionally. In addition it was said this morn ing that 30,000 cards bearing warn ings will be printed and distributed among the school children of the city. , Accidents Increasing "It is a regrettable fact that acci dents are on the increase," said the Mayor. "Drivers and pedestrians should remember that every accident carries with it the chance of injury or death. Whether the worst possible result follows or not is largely a mat ter of chance. More tfian one-half the accidents occur on the streets at places other than the authorized walks, crossings and safety zones." The following list of "Don'ts" Is sued by the Mayor to-day, is the line of warning the Mayor will ask ad vertisers to follow in the "Protect Yourself" campaign he is asking them to wage. 1. Don't run across streets through ' heavy traffic. 2. Cross streets at crossings only Watch for the policeman's signals. Vie is always willing to help you. 3. Never cross a street with an umbtella over your head or rcadinu a newspaper. 4. Never jump off a moving cai Wait for it to stop and then look ou ter traffic. 5. Stand still if you get caught In a traffic jam. It may save your life 6. Children are most ltkely to in jury, because they are the most reck less. They should not he permitted t< roller skate on streets, hitch on back: of wagons or automobiles, dare eacl other to run across the streets ir. front of vehicles, engaHe in street fights, build bonfires, play on fi■ < escapes or roofs, or tide bicycles in heavy trafficked streets. Parents will do well to advise their children not to do these things. 7. To those who drive I would suggest that your responsibility doet not end with the honking of youi horn when others are In you: - patir Don't imagine you are within yotn rights if you go at the maximum speed allowed by law. You must no! endanger the safety of others. CHARGED WITH COAI. THKIT James M.
