If Mother will just give it a tiny. dose of a mjld laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the congestion will quickly loosen and be expelled, and her child be nor- mal and happr once more. Dr. Caldweil's Syrup Pepsin is especially desirable for children, ecause it contains no opiate or narcotic drug, being a cam“lnalion of simple laxative herbs with pep- sin, mild and gentle in action, ositive in effect, and very palata- le. Children like it and take it readily. Druggists sell Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle; a trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. 'W. B.

Washington is the nerve center of a constantly growing system of wires radiating in every direction to the scenes of the national activities. The work of the telegraph and telephone companies in improving Government communication has been directed chiefly through the Commit- tee on Telegraphs and Telephones of the Council of National Defense, of which Theodore N. Vail is Chairman, and which acts under the general su- pervision of Daniel Willard, Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Communication. Mr. Willard today authorized the following state- ment on the extraordinary progress of the strategic and emergency develop- ment of the nation’s communication lin It is a striking tribute to the sci- ence of communication,” Mr. Willard said, ‘“‘that a country so vast can be knit so closely together as the United States is at present by its telegraph and telephone lines. The work of tel- ephone and telegraph companies is the more remarkable because it has been accomplished in the face of a greatly increased demand for com- mercial service. Despite obstacles which seemed at times insuperable the Government's emergency require- ments have been met, and although with some inconvenience to commer- cial service, never with real hard- ships. “Rapid communication in the de- velopment of war industry as well in the actual conduct of battle is e sential to modern warfare. With th necessity in view, the telegraph and telephone engineers of America—the birthplace of electrical —communica- tion—have achieved a notable record in the last few months. “The war work of the telephone and telegraph companies may be di- vided into two distinct cla the one bearing directly on the conduct of the othe CORNER $19.75 DRESSES $15.60 25 New Silk, Satin and Serge Dresses. $8.98 SWEATERS $4.98 15 Fiber Silk Sweaters, in blue, gold, rose, green, pur= ple and white. $1.15 GOTHAM PURE SILK HOSE 95¢ 100 per cent, pure silk—the gold stripe at the top pre- vents dropping.

The majority of the units have been recruited practically up to full strength and nearly all of the officers have received their com- missions. Several hattalions are al- ready in camp receiving intensive training under officers of the regulat army. Wherever possible the mem- bers of the battalions which have not been called into active service have been drilling and attending lectures conducted by army oflicers. Where drilling is impracticable, literature re- lating to signal corps work and mil- itary tactics has been distributed and courses of study outlined. Men from telegraph companies at marine observatories, cable terminals and on the Mexican border have been enrolled as army and navy censors and have ably assisted in this work. At least onc of the telegraph com- panies ham sent out registration blanks returnable by all employes who registered for the draft so that the company may aid the gevernment in determining the particular service for Wiich these drafted men are best suited. New men are constantly be- ing taken for service in the Signal Reserve Corps and plans are being worked out to utilize various ‘educa- tional institutions in this work. “Wherever government tion projects are going forward, telephone and telegraph systems have been called in to place them in quick contact with the department cen- ters, and in the case of cantonments and training camps to establish manent telephone systems both ternal and external for ience of the department authoriti Yor additional circuits already com- pleted it has been necessary to pro- vide about 440 miles of copper wire, and to build 112 miles of new pole line. “Work is being pushed forward ac- tively on the installation of the third addition which has bheen made since February to the toll switchhoard at Washington.

About 300 miles of wire placed at the disposal of contracto or other individuals engaged in building of cantonments or war activities, and extraordinary e forts were required to replace imme- diately the facilities which had been taken from commercial service. “The same story of emergency work in record time can he found in reports on the communication for aviation training fields, for guards at bridges, water supplies and other public works, and for plants involved in war activities. where service had to be installed without delay. Par- ticular attention has also been to telephone requirements of the rail- roads to enable them to handle effi- ciently transportation of .large bodics of troops. “The work on the Coast Guard tele- phone is Dbeing continued ac- tively in all sections where reconstruc- nanent cilities con- wa tion of repair work has been request- | ed.

Information concern- ing telephone and telegraph matters has been furnished to members of the Irench Mission. Telephone com- panis have also been called upon to do special construction work, such as erecting very high poles for masts. A large number of engineers in the employ of telephone companies have been devoting their efforts to laboratory research on special gov- ernment work. “The work under of the telephone and telegraph companies touches the war every point, and the effective srvice which they have already ren- dered the government sustains the reputation for accomplishment which American science and business has al- possessed.” DAY OF ATONEMEN Yom Kippur, Holest of All Holi- | days to Be Observed Here At the setting of the sun Tuesday, September Jewry everywhere will begin the twenty-four hours observ- ance of the holiest day in their re- construction | the | similar | work | given , ligious calendar.
