William ' i Jennings Bryan, one f i iij.o secretary ; of state and ardent peace advocate, in a last' effort to stave nil the partici pation of ill'- l-niled States in the European war today issued nn open appeal to members of congress. j Charging the "metropolitan press" j with efforts fo toslt (he country into ? a war furore, Bryan appeals to the members of congress to maintain peace. Mr. Bryan stales in his declare t ion jthat if war comes. he expects "io live, up to :i citizen's duties." The appeal follows: "To the members of the 1 niieil States senate and house of represen- . t a fives. t "Washington. 1>. "Gentlemen Kxercis.tu: the ' ' ? r i~ ' zens' right of protection. 1 appeal to; you. The dispute with Germany hast passed beyond the domain of diplo macy and some advise settlement by the sword.

"To you and .to you only is given constitutional authority lo declare war? war which, in this case, may mean the signing of the death war rants of thousands, even millwms. of your countrymen, and the laying of grievous burdens upon future genera tions. "Before you take tills blood upon your hands, consider. 1 pray you. first, that the wrongs which you would punish, cruel and unjustifiable as they are. are not intended primarily against this country, but are acts of despera tion directed against other nations with which the offenders are at war. "Second, that our land is not threat- : ened with invasion, but that we are asked to go I'.lHio miles for a chance to flcht. Third, thai we may not have tli** > r sniu-J: to war ilint inG Europeans had. 1 "Thev had no machinery for peace.; we have a peace plan, offered by t his j nation to the world, and now embodies in ;'.0 treat;-- with three quarters of' i lie population ol the globe. 1'he plan has th?? i:nlors?-f:i? i: ? ? ? t t hf pn.'sult'iu. the commendation of the senate and the approval of the people at* 'he polls.

Shall we repudiate our own plan the first time we have an opportunity to employ it'.' "If. as the president recently de clared the American people do not : want war, i* it not worth while to tt\ the peace plan !?>' forcing upon the people th? horrors of war'.'

"It vou reae'i the conclusion that not him? but war will satisfy the na tion's honor, is it too much to ask that by a referendum you consult the w it- lies of those Who ur.tst. ::t case of war. defend the nation's honor with 'their lives ?

Most Effective R'&medy Mother Had EV?r Used DR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN j RELIEVES BABY WHEN OTHER MEDICINES FAILED. Then1 is nothing so necessary to a child's health and comfort as jocular ity o? the bowels. All children are es pecially susceptible to stomach trouole arid any overstrain of the sensitive organs lias a tendency to obstruct elim ination. This condition is responsible for much of the illn,ess of childhood. To relieve constipation a mild lax ative should be employed. Cathartics nnd purgatives are violent in their no tion and should be. avoided. .Mrs. Al fred DuBois, iMt. Holly, N. J., says. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is without douty the most, effective remendy for. constipation she has ever used and that It is the only remedy she could find for ber baby Little Earl was bad ly constipated "during his first, year and nothing she tried seemed to- help him until she got a bottle of Dr. CaUi wel's Syrup Pepsin. Now he is a fine, ; strong, healthy hoy, and she thanks Dr. Caldwell for It. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup .Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, free from opiates or nar cotic drugs; it arts gently without griping or other discomfort, and ap peals to children because of i's pleas ant taste. Druggists everywhere je'l it for fifty cents a bottle, and every Enrl Du Bois mother should have It In the house for use whenever occasion arises. To avoid invitations and ineffective substitutes always be pure to ask for Dr. C'aldwell'^Syrup Pepsin.. See that a facsimile of J'r.
