Now A \ to Little Ones if Bowels Are Neglected A mother cannot do better for her than to train it from early in- fandy to regular habits, not oniy as a preventive against much of the ill- ness to which children are more or less subject, but also to insure their health in later life. Normal activity of the bowels is the basis of sound health. This is es- pecially true with children in hot weather. Do not neglect any tend- ency they may show to constipatio; but promptly administer a gentle lax- ative, that will carry off the congested waste without shocking the system. An excellent -remedy for this pur- pose is the combination of simple lax- 8tive herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores for only fifty cents a bottle. It does mot contain opiates, narcotics, ‘or harmful habit-forming drugs of any description, acts easily and naturally without griping or re the Days' ‘Children Need Care other discomfort and is positive in its _effect. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been’ the standard remedy in count- less homes for a quarter of a century and thousands of mothers testify to its virtues.

German Admiralty Has Not Received Any Report of the Sinking. Berlin, Aug. 31, via London, 7.50 p. m. —The German admiralty today ad- vanced the suggestion that the sub- marine which may have torpedoed the steamer Arabic possibly had foundered or had been sunk by the British. A high official of the admiralty, in again declaring that absolutely no news on the sinking of the Arabic was as yet available, said: “Would it not be lamentable if the submiarine should have been lost and we should never learn what happened? Soon after the "Arabic sank I id we should in all probability have the de- tails by the end of August, or early in September at the latest. Most of our boats which were on the west coast uf England at the time have now return- ed, but none so far knows anything about the Arabic. “It probably will be possible within a very short time—I cannot say pre- cisely how many days—to tell whether our apprehensions regarding the sub- marine are correct.” The official would not say whether one or more of the submarines in ques- tion etill were out, nor how long any one vessel had been away from its base, but stated suggestively: “They seldom remain out longer than three weeks, and we usually get a re- port on any torpedoing operations in from eight to fourteen days—rarely later than a fortnight after{the occur- rence.” FUNERAL OF JOHN D.
