THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. MARCH 10, 1917. HARD SURFACE ROAD OMAHA T0 LINCOLN Bill Passes House to Permit Constructon of Toll Auto Line. TO BE COMMON CARRIER (From ft Butt Correfpondent.) Lincoln, March 9. (Special.) A hard surface road built and operated by a corporation with toll privileges, all to be under the jurisdiction of the State Railway commission, may be a possibility between Lincoln and Oma ha, if house roll No. 170, a bill spon sored by Speaker Jackson and Repre sentative Peterson of Lancaster, which passed the house today, goes through the senate and meets the ap proval of the governor. The bill provides that not less than three persons may form a corporation and apply to the State Railway com mission for stock and bond issues for the purpose of building the road, which is to be used for the transpor tation of passengers and for carrying freight and express. The company has the same rights as a railroad to obtain land through which the road may run and held to be a common carrier and under the same restrictions as any other com mon carirer. It may charge a toll for the use of the road by outsiders. While no one will admit that there is any deal on at the present time for building such a road from Omaha to Lincoln, it was notived that in a de bate a reference was made several times to it. Tracewell of Cherry said he had authority from his people to say that any company formed for the purpose of building such a road would find plenty of encouragement for building it through his county and he was will ing to put up a bond guaranteeing such assistance. The bill passed by a vote of 72 to 23. Notes from Beatrice And Gage County Beatrice, Neb., March 9. (Special.)

All children are especially susceptible to stomach trouble and any overstrain of the sen sitive organs has a tendency to ob struct elimination. This condition is responsible for much of the illness of childhood. To relieve constipation a mild laxa tive should be employed. Cathartics and purgatives are violent in their action and should be avoided. Mrs. Alfred Du Bois, Mt. Holly, N. J., says Or. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is without doubt the most effective remedy for constipation she has ever used and that it is the only remedy she could find for her baby. Little Earl was badly constipated during his first year and nothing she tried seemed to help him until she got a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin. Now he is a fine, strong, healthy boy, and she thanks Dr. Caldwell for it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is i combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, free from opiates or nar cotic drugs; it acts gently without griping or other discomfort, and ap- peals to children because of its pleas ant taste. Druggists everywhere sell it for fifty cents a bottle, and every mother should have it in the house for use whenever occasion arises. To avoid imitations and ineffective substitutes always be sure to ask for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signa ture and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. IVV. B.
