normal habit of children is to be

Perhaps theyjhave missed that
daily function so necessary to
comfort and health. Look at the

which you can buy at any drug

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin. v Unlike the
harsher physics it acts gently and
without griping so that while
grownups can use it freely it can
also be given to a tiny baby with
perfect safety. Thousands of

Psychology - Experiment at
Chicago Execution Ends
With Men Crying, "When

31st and Harney Sts. Robert F. Leavens,
Minister. Sunday morning at 10:30.
By The Associated Press.
Chicago, Jan. 2. Out at the coun
ty jail, in the grizzly dim hour of
dawn, an .experiment in, psychology
was tried this morning when 200
prisoners were forced to witness the
hanging of RafTalo Durrage, con
victed murderer.
Hardened criminals other mur
derers, and felons whose expiation
is not yet the gallows were placed
in cells, tier on tier of which sur
rounded the square in which the
scaffold had been erected.
Claimed Would Reform.
It was the contention of Sheriff
Peters that the sight of thegrue
some trappings, the watching of the
noose adjustment, the listening "to
the administration of last rites, the
sound of the click of the spring trap
and the jerk of the rope as its slack
was snapped up by the falling body
all those would have a most sair.
tary effect upon those in whose life
might come future teniptations to
slay or to rob or to burn.
And so firmry did the sheriff be
lieve in the efficacy of this idea that
he persisted in it, despite the request
from Governor Frank O. Lowden
that he abandon the plan, and the
added protests from scores of other
persons who thought the scheme
was unnecessarily brutal.
Accordingly the stage was set in
the death chamber.
"When Do We Eat?" is Cry.
Durrage was led forth. The quiet
in the death chamber became abso
lute for a moment. Then the noose
was slipped over the murderer's
head. From one of the higher tiers
came a strident shout.
"When do we eat?"
Tier by tier, cell by cell, the cry
was taken up. It became a roar,
above which the wardens' voices
could not be heard.
The trap was sprung. Durrage
dropped into the space bene"ath he
scaffold dead.
"When do
eat?" was his
requiem.
Sheriff Peters declared after the
execution that Governor Lovvden's
secretary, Mr. Sutton, telephoned the
jail and asked regarding plans for
the hanging, but did not object to
the sheriff's program.

For Another Year
Linfoln, Neb., Jan. 2. (Special.)
Emergency telephone rates au
thorized by the State Railway com
mission for the Lincoln and the Bell
telephone companies during the war
period are to remain in effect
another year, under a supplementary
order issued Friday. These rates
are about 25 per cent higher than
were formerly charged. Under the

rates probably will be fixed.
All the rates affected by the pres
ent order are exchange rates. The
commission now has before it the
question of taking the same action
on toll rates which it has done with
reference to the' exchange rates.

Special Assessment
For Bank Guarantee
Fund Is Explained
Lincoln, Neb'., Jan. 2. (Spe
cial.) A special assessment levied
the first of the year on a large
number of state banks for the pur
pose of bringing their guaranty
fund reserve up to 1 per cent of de
posits is explained in a statement
which Secretary Hart of the De
partment of Trade and Commerce
has given out. This is additional
to the regular semi-annual assess
ments amounting to 1-20 of 1 per
cent levied on all banks that have
been in business for more than a
year.
-The banking bureau aims to re-1
adjust the guaranty reserves once
a year, but during the war this was
not done. This is the first time that
it has bee.H- attended to since 1916.
In the meantime deposits have been
increasing fast,' and in a majority
of cases the accumulated guartXv
assessments fall considerably belo!
1 per cent.
Banks which had more than 1
per cent of deposits set apart for
the guaranty fund were not re
quired ,to add anything January 1,
except the regular semi-annual assessment.

Congressman Andrews
Voices Opinion Peace
k Pad Will Be Ratified
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2. (Special.)
Legislation strengthening the
.hands of the government in dealing
with radicalism and permitting
broader powers for the deportation
of disturbers advocating lawlessness
is favored by the national congress,
according to Congressman W. E.
Andrews of the Fifth Nebraska dis
trict, who spent Friday in Lincoln
on his way back to Washington.
The congressional recess was spent
at his home in Hastings. He was
the only member of the Nebraska
delegation who left the national
capital for the recess.
Congressman Andrews expressed
the opinion that the peace treaty
would be ratified with reservations.
and that a satisfactory compromise
with the administration would be
reached.
A bill to provide railway legisla
tion to cope with conditions when
the government turns the roads back
to private hands will also be passed
without serious dimculey, the con
gressman said.
While in Lincoln Congressman
Andrews was the guest of W. H.
Ferguson.
Scores Release of
Gen. Wood From the
"Recall Provision"
Huron, S. D., Jan. 2. (Special.)
Attorney General Payne's legal
ruling to the secretary of state's
office in effect releasing; General
Wood from signing the declaration
of candidates to the party, required
under the primary election law, has
brought forth the following state
ment from Mr. Richards, author of
the law: x
"The spectacle of General Wood
and General Payne co-operatiiig to
dodge the legal moral recall of prin
ciples of heir own platform merely
witnesses the degeneracy of ma
chine politics. If the South Dakota
legal moral party recall is of no
effect as to presidential candidates,
why dodge it? The law is not in
tended to favor any special individuals."
