THE lKK: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1913.
By MELLIFICIA.
Tuesday, November 23, 1915.
OClETY editors everywhere are commenting upon the great numbers
of enagagemenu announced, the short engagements following. and
the Increased number of weddings for the coming ssason.
The engagements usually announced In the autumn are the
weddings of June. This year all seem going to tbe altar before Christmas.
We have heard of "marrying men" and "marrying parsons" this Is
clearly a "marrying" year. The spirit of the year seems affecting the
most confirmed bachelors and the men who are becoming benedicts ars as
much a surprise as the year Itself. Three of the most set bachelors of St.
Louis are soon to be led to the altar, and every town reports commotion In
the clubs at the surprises of engagement announcements.
Some lay It to the war no sooner was peace broken than that old
philanderer and bachelor of the world, Mr. James Gordon Dennett, took
unto himself a wife.
No man could be relied upon after that.
What Is going to happen. In Omaha this "marrying year There are
some very hardened bachelors here, but no more so than other towns boast.
If the craze has already struck Chicago and St. Louis and appeared In spots
farther west, Omaha Is surely In line to watch It, too.

An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers
Car Shortage Not
as Bad as It Was
With a slight letup In the movement of
grain to market the freight car shorter.
Is not quite as acute as ten days ago.
though none of the roads H overstocked
with cars. Freght officii Is assert thut
should there be a bulge In wheat and
other grain prices the car situation would
be the worst in the history of the west.
Right now, out at country stations in
Omaha trade territory, wheat prices are
considerably below $1 per bushel and con
sequently most of the farmers are hold
ing onto the crop of th' year. Should
the demand be sufficient ao that wheat
goes to $1 or better railroad nien expect
to see the demand for cars unprecedented.
Compound of Simple Laxative
Herbs Safe for Baby
and Mother.
Constipation Is a condition that effects
th old, j ouiib and middle-aged, and
most people at one time or another need
help in regulating the action of the
bowels. Harsh cathartics and purgatives
should not be employed to relieve con
stipation, as their effect Is only tempo
rary while they shock the system un
necessarily. A remedy that can be used with per
fect safety for the tiniest babe and that
la equally effective for the strongest con
stitution Is foumi In the comolnstion of
simple laxative herbs known as Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug
stores everywhere for fifty cents a bot
tle. This is an ideal houaehold remedy
and should be In every family medicine
chest.
Mr. F. 1. Baraolow, 18 Leslie St.,
Holyoke, Mass., wrote to Dr. Caldwell,
"Syrup Pepsin certainly Is fine. 1 gave
It to my baby, Evelyn, and also took It
myself. It is the only medicine I have
been able to take without affecting Baby
in the nursing. I have used It for all

and ask for It."
