How to be Certain of
Curing Constipation
Prejudice is a hard thine to overcome,
but "where health is at stake and the
opinion of thousands of reliable people
differs from yours, prejudice then be
comes your menace and you ought to
lay it aside. This is said in the inter
est of people suffering from chronic
constipation, and it is worthy of their
.attention.
In the opinion of legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
-constipation imaginable can be cured
by a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
tPcpsln. You may not have heard of it
Sefore, but do not doubt its merits on
that account, or because it has not been
blatantly advertised. It has sold very
successfully on word of mouth recom
mendation. Parents are giving it to
their children today who were given it
by their parents, and it has been truth
fully said that more druggists use it
personally in their families than any
ther laxative.
We often say to ourselves, "I
would gladly do my duty, if I
knew what it is." Doubtless
there are cases in which it is
hard to decide, but a remark of
Goethe on the subject is well
worth remembering. "How can
we know ourselves? Never by
reflection, but "by action. Do
your duty, and you will find out
the sort of man you are. 'But
what is my duty?' What to-day
asks of you."
Do not consider too far, too
deeply, seriously. Do the plain,
present task, and do it well. It
is amazing how pleasant you feel
when it is done and it is not
wholly unpleasant even in the
doing. Ex.

Letters recently received from Jf. E.
Myers, Morrison, Tenn., and Ada Ham
mersmith, US W. Chestnut St, Louisville,
Ky., are but a few of thousands
showing the esteem in which Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin is held. It is mild,
gentle, non-griping not violent, like
salts or cathartics. It cures gradually
and pleasantly so that in time nature
again does its own work without out
side aid. Constipated people owe it to
themselves to use this grand bowel
specific.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar a large bottle (family size) can
have a sample bottle sent to the homo
free of charge by simply addressing Dr.
W. B. Caldwell, 405 Washington St.,
Monticello, 111. Your name and address
on a postal card will do.

TRIES WIRELESS ON TRAINS.!
Psnnsylvania Railroad Putting Tele
phones on Freight Engines.
Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania rail
road is to install a wireless telephone
system on its trains with a view to
preventing accidents. Preliminary tests
have been made, and the freight cars
are heing equipped with the wireless
apparatus.
It enables the conductor in the ca
boose of a freight train to talk with
the engineer and will result in lessen
ing the number of brakemen necessary
in operating the trains.
While a metallic circuit is used, the
system is practically wireless. The
railroad track is one line of the cir
cuit, contact being made between some
portion of a metal part of the truck.
A single metal connection is then
wound about the coupling of each car,
and from this point the circuit is car
ried to a pole on each car. The electric
battery then hashes the current from
pole to pole and the system is com
plete, j.
An ordinary headpiece instrument is
installed in the cab of the engine for
the use of the engineer, while the
mouthpiece can be attached to some
part of the trainman's uniform, so as
to leave his hands free to perform his
regular duties.
PROBE MISSIONARY'S DEATH.
Turks Assert That C. H. Holbrook
Was Killed by Mistake.
Constantinople. As the result of con

Rev. Dr. Charles H. Holbrook, an
American missionary, at Soushehir,
Asiatic Turkey, Lewis Heck, acting
vice consul and interpreter at the Unit
ed States consulate general here, has
been sent to Soushehir to make an in
vestigation. Officials of the Bible House in Con
stantinople assert they have informa
tion that the murder of the missionary
was deliberate, whereas the Turkish
authorities assert that Dr. Holbrook
was killed in mistake for an Armenian
who had aroused the anger of two
Turks.
The two murderers have been arrest
ed, and the Turkish government prom
ises that they will be severely pun
ished. HAVE MARRIED EACH
OTHER ELEVEN TIMES
Wedding Ceremony Often Per
formed For Vernbns.
Hagerstown, Md. To be married to
each other eleven times since 1909 has
been the novel experience of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Vernon, who are at Brad
dock Heights. The marriage ceremo
nies have been performed in as many
different countries.
Asked why he and his wife had been
married so often, Vernon said it was a
sort of hobby with them, and they took
the step as a precaution because in
some foreign countries marriages per
formed in others are not recognized.
He and his wife were first married
in Columbus, O., in 1909; then in Mon
treal in 1910; in England, Scotland.
Wales, France. Germany. Belgium and
Russia in 1911; in Sydney, Australia,
in 1912, and in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in
1913. They hold marriage certificates
of nil these weddings, and the display
is unique.
In some of the countries where they
were married they did not understand
a word the officiating clergyman was
saying, but simply nodded their heads
when they thought the time had come
to make the responses.
They speak French and German.
U. S. EXECUTOR IN BALKANS.

Soldier's Father.
Washington. Postmaster General
Burleson has ordered that 200 be sent
to Bojov Martinovich. whose son. Milo
P. Martinovich, was killed in the as
sault on Fort Tarakasch at Scutari in
the Balkan war.
The son was formerly a laborer in
Oakland, Cal., and deposited his sav
ings in the postoffice there. A certifica
tion from the secretary of the legation
at Athens says that the depositor was
unmarried and lived with his father.
His first deposit was made in October,
1911, and the second in February. 1912.
This is the first United States postal
savings depositor known to have lost
his life in the Balkan war.

READY FOR TRIAL
OF NEW AIRSHIPS
Lieutenant Milling to Super

STUDENTS WANT LICENSES.
Three New Machines, a Burgess, a
Wright and a Curtis, All Equipped
With Foreign Engines, Will Be Tried
Out Special Badge Given as Li
cense Several Anxious to Try.
Washington. October has been set
for the month, but no definite date has
yet been set for the trial of the new
flying machines that will be tested for
the army at the Wright factory at
Dayton, O. Lieutenant Thomas Mill
ing will be officially detailed to super
vise the tests. It is probable that Gen
eral George P. Scriven, chief signal of
ficer of the army, and possibly some
other officers of the army also will at
tend. There will be three of the new ma
chinesa Burgess, a Wright and a
Curtiss all equipped with foreign en
gines. The motors will run from 90
to 140 nominal horsepower and will be
the most powerful ever installed in
government machines. None of these
new machines will be intrusted to any
but the officers who have qualified for

the military aviator certificate. The
older machines will be reserved for
training.
The army has decided on the design
and obtained one specimen of the mili
tary aviator's badge. It is considered
the handsomest thing in the way of a
badge that the government has ever
assigned. It has a plain gold bar with
the words "Military Aviator" in black
enamel. Beneath the bar there hangs
an eagle with extended wings carrying
in ids claws crossed signal flags in
gold and platinum.
Several of the students officers in
the Philippines are just ready to try
for their military pilot's license. They
are Lieutenants Chapman of the
Seventh cavalry, Rich of the Philip
pine scouts and Dargue of the coast
artillery. They have all been trained
as aviators under Lieutenant Frank
Lahm, who was the first of the army
officers to b'e trained by Wilbur Wright
at College Park. Lieutenant Lahm
has not been flying continuously, but
he is in point of service the oldest
military aviator in the world.
Another of the student aviators who
are about to take their military test is
Lieutenant E L. Ellington at San
Diego.
According to present arrangements,
when the officers have qualified as
military aviators they will be retained
at their posts to act as instructors to
other student aviators detailed to the
service. Some of the older men prob
ably will be sent this fall to the main
aviation center at San Antonio, Tex.
Considerable interest has been arous
ed not only among the aviators, but
throughout the army, by the issue of
the new army signal book by the
signal corps. This contains the Amer
ican Morse and the international
Morse, the flag, lantern, Ardois lights
and all the other systems of signaling
used in the army. It is the essential
manual of army signaling. The revised
edition has been compiled by General
Scriven, the chief signal officer of the
army. One of the interesting features
of the rush for the little book is the
general desire of the boy scouts for
copies. The scouts all over the coun
try seem to be going in for signaling,
judging by the mass of applications
they have filed for the book.
After the house committee on mili
tary affairs had thoroughly discussed
the aviation problem last week it was
practically decided to make no change
In the present 'arrangement in the
army, but to leave the aviation work
under the signal corps, where it has
heretofore been.
