Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is a Dependable Family Laxative. all the sickness incident to v's life is due to constipation, or inaction of the bowels. At the first in- dication of irregularity in this import- ant function, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently carry-off the congested waste and leave the sto- maeh and bowels free to perform their allottéd: tasks. Of the various remedies recom- mended to relieve constipation, the combination of simple laxative herbs Wwith pepsin, as prescribed by Dr, W. B. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the most effective. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the taste, -mild and gentle in action, and quickly brings the desired relief in an easy, natural manner, Mrs, C. J. Douglas, . Mason, III, writes that she cannot say enough in praise of Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a dependable family laxative. Little Mary Eva had been badly constipated until they tried Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin, which brought the first nat- ural relief the child had had in ‘two weeks, Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold News Mother Praises Remedy That Relieved Her Baby A NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY o, 1617 in drug stores everywhere and costs only fifty cents a bottle.

Evidently she had come to the tele- phone thinking the call was from Walt Stedman. When she recognized that it was Janet speaking, she did her ut- most to keep herself in hand. Janet aid ‘not detain her long. " *“We only wanted to reassure our- "selves,” she said gently, “‘that you were safe at home. I won't try 'to deceive you, Lucy; you're too clear of vision anyhow not tq see the whole truth. ‘We've passed through a terrible crisis —Walt and 1.” And Lucy Benton, trying to choke sobs, answered: “I understand, Janet.” Janet hung up the receiver and turned wearlly to Walt. “I know now/just how it is—with Lucy, anyhow,” she said with a wan smile. , “Lucy—Lucy cares—very much. I'm sorry for Lucy.” “So am I, sweetheart. God knows T'd change it all if I could,” he an- swered earnestly, folding his wife in his arms. ‘*And listen a moment, my girl. There’s no sense in denying it now, I know Lucy cares. Years and years ago I knew it, when we all be- longed to a hohemian crowd and painted and wrote and laughed and starved together in a sort of artists’ freemasonry. But I have never, Jan- et, cared for Lucy Benton in any deeper way that that of good palship. T've admired her, and liked her, and A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY TIMRB Her Side---and His How Cora and David Temple Solved' Their Marital P\roblm‘ By ZOE BEOCKLEY to Balance all to be sensible. Ybu and Lucy Benton have your work to finish. Can’t we all be big enough people not to run away from our work because we are afraid of our own selves? “Perhaps it is because women have orderly minds,” she smiled whimsi- cally, pushing back her hair and brushing a hand across her hot fore- head; “but I think, Walt, that we must all—you and Roy and Luocy and I—leave things tidied up, finish our | work, get to the end of the chapter; not leave things all jumbled this way.” ‘Janet, you're the most wonderful girl in all the world!” cried Walt. “It wouldn't need anything but such words as those to show me you're my woman, my mate! Tell me, dear, DO you need me, as I do you? Are you willing to put up with my slowness, my ¢bstinacy, my—"" But she wouldn’t let him finish. Closing his lips with her cwn, she kissed and clung to him. “Oh, Waltie, I never knew until that hideous moment on the Carnegile hall platform how much I do need you. The thought of you hardly left me for an hour all the time I was making that western tour. Oh, Walt, when I think of it! Sleepless by night, and speaking at club meetings by day, till my mind was just one hideous chaos and my nerves a torment. “I didn't dream how near I was.to the breeking point until I saw you in felt grateful to her. But I've never loved her, Nicoll and the rest of them to the contrary notwithstanding. “I admit, Jan, there was a time not far back when I didn't care much what happened.. I doubted voutr love for me. I doubted my own ability. I doubted everything and everybody. If it had not been for this affair, that brings out the truth and sets all doubts at rest, I don’t know but that I might have flung my smashed life to any one who wanted it. . . But all that's changed now. I shan’t see Lucy again, Janet! TIt's better for us all.’” “No, Waltle, I don’t agree with you,” answered Janet softly, after a | pause, during which her heart light- ened unutterably. “It is best for us BY RUTH Overstatement is the greatest foe of any cause, Just as the church member who is as mean and grasping and gener- ally unchristian on week days as he is pious on Sundays, does the church more harm than many disbelievers, so an overstatement within the ranks of moral training does the cause more harm than many statements on the other side. The particular against which I trained is this: “A lie or a piece of sharp dealing never helped a man get on in ovbrstatement am getting my guns business A man who gives talks on conduct made that statement to a group of young people. To my mind that as it stands, is an oyverstatement. What Every Business Man Knows. No business man or woman can hlink the fact that there are times when a lie or a piece of unfair deal- ing would help him get on. Take a clerk for instance. A cus- fomer is looking at a garment. She is the kind of customer who always wants a bargain, “Is this marked down?” she asks. s it SIDE TALKS When a Lie Helps the audience—with Lucy. Then some- thing seemed to give way; words and memory failed me; I was just a fright- ened, feminine thing who needed help. . ! “It 1sn't,’” she went on after a mom- | ent, “as if love and work could not! be harnessed. They can. But the two | must be in harmonv. The mistake | whs in my trying to climb up through the help of some one—else. If we, you and I, had struggled toward suc- cess together, Walt! You were will- ing, but I was not. . . . Well, it took fallure to show me the way to suc- cess. And now, dear, I'll be good and g0 to bed—it's past two—and we'll try to face life tomorrdw untragically and without losing our balance.” CAMERON The clerk knows that if she says No” the customer will pass on. She soothes her conscience by the thought that women who are always expect- ing bargains deserve to get taken in and says “Oh ye She makes the sale and that lle helped her to do it. Things like that happen every day in business. Then They Will Distrust All His State- ments. Those young people are going to find it out. And then they are going to distrust other perfectly good teach- ings because of that overstatement. The truth is that a lie does often help temporariiy. And sometimes a good long temporarily, too. But sooner or later you are bound to get found out. And then what? Why even when you do speak the truth you won't get credit for it. One found out liec punctures your reputation for truth telling with the person who finds it out. How the Foundation Is Buiit. On the other hand every time you make a hard sacrifice of temporary advantage to be square you are put- ting a stone into the best kind of 1 isuch surprising | first also resents his v foundation for the best kind of suc cess. : Incidentally you are also giving vourself a right to respect yourself. I haven't said anvthing about that because I wanted to fight the devil with fire—the desire for success. But when you get old enough. to begin to realize that the materlal things aren’t the realities of life vou'll get a glimpse of how tremendously much that right may mean. And here's hoping you have it. JUNE, THE FAIREST WOMAN IN THE WORLD This week at the Lyceum is the most successful the Walter Naytor players experienced since coming to New Britain. It is now assured they will remain in our midst. Seldom if ever, has such an active interest in things theatrical been displayed as that which marks almost every perfomance of “The Misleading Lady.” Misa Virginia Perry has won a high place in the hearts of local theatergoers. Her presentation of the leading character in this comedy is all that can be, desired. Playing op- posite her, Philip Quin is kept busy conbatting the wiles of the young soclety girl who undertakes to play the roll of Siren in a drama-de-lux. Ralph Murphy has the real comedy role of the play, “Boney,” the escaped lunatic, who aside from imaging he is Nelopeon, starts a young war of fun, or Theater Goers and ! Rehearsals are on in full swing for| next week’'s perfarmances when the. Naylor players will present Eugene ‘Walter’s typically American drama, “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” The leading character, in that play which is modeled from material in the novel of John Fox, Jr, is one that will appeal to all lovers of beautiful young American womanhood. June is her name. So like June she is wond- erful lovable, sweet, demure, the soul of poetry. June is a primitive moun- tain girl. Superstitious and imagin- ative, she loves the lonely pine, and each morning at sunrise and each evening at sunset, she steals away from the mountain cabin where she was born and sits beneath the pine, listening to the sobs and sighs that come from its branches, and fancy- ing she hears the voice of her dead sister urging her to go out into the world and learn. Hale, the city bred engineer who goes into the Cumber- land valley, discovers June and 'en- gages her in conversation, question- ing her about her home life in the mountains, laughing at her coy re- plies and enjoylng her whimsical re- marks. He wins her confidence and encourages her to reveal more of her thoughts and dreams bringing out characteristics as depth of emotion, loveliness, breadih of soul, and originality, so that he finally persuades her father, who, at intruding, permit her to attend the new school at the Gap. Her departure from the cabin in the mountains to the new school In the valley has started gossip among the factional clans about her relations with Hale. Hale, who has all along regarded June as a child, j is surprised at the generally accepted idea that he is having her educated so that she can marry him.. June, can- not understand all the gossip and sends for her ‘pap” to come and take her back home. June fixes the. cabin to look a bit more attractive and then Dave again begs her to marry him, she tells him she doesn't intend . to marry anyone now. And thus the story goes, bounding from one emotion to another, full of action and human interest, heart throbs and romance. “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine” is| without doubt one of the truest pic- | tures of interfor American life and manners ever drawn, Miss Virginia Perry, herself a native born Virginian, will have the greatest opportunity of her career in this oity to portray a character that is the love and ad- miration of all who have seen this great drama. As June, Miss Perry will bring a touch of realism to the local stage which would not be possible for one not familiar with the manners of that quaint people who live in the mountain steadfastness of the Old Dominion. Mies Dorothea Antel will have a part in this play that promises to set forth her histrionic ability In a way to make a lasting im- pression on New Britain theatergoers. NAVASSAR GIRLS WIN MUSIC LOVERS’ PRAISE | Keeney's excellent vaudeville show, coupled with the exceptionally fine photoplay attractions, is still drawing capacity audiences to the Ppopular playhouse and the city's playgoers are bestowing unstintingly their praise on the program offered by the manage- ment. It is on the whole ane of the best shows offered here and the ciiy has responded enthusiastically to its excellent features. Chief among the vaudeville offerings the sixteen NaVassar girls who are giving a most delightful concert. These young ladies, all of whom are talented musicians, present a diversi- fled program. While musical acts as a rule do not make much of an im- pression, this specialty has the city talking. The concert is so pleasing that the plays have to respond with several encores each night and even ihen the audience is loath to have them give way to other attractions, Making a strong bid for premier honors, the Seven Cornellis thrill the audience with their feats of wonder- ful acrobatic skill and daring. Their act is a revelation in tumbling and is received with enthusiasm. Tom Gillin gets his share credit for the strength of the pro- gram, his songs and funny stories winning the-approval of the.patrons, of the to | | [ ——— Wo Simply men Reader et s S ——te vt =l Say: “Charge It” Splendid Opportunities To Save on Women’s Wear OUR BIG CLEARANCE SALE offers surprising money-saving oppor‘v.unltles. in spite of Lhe‘ upward trend of prices in the wholesale markets.
