No Longer Cn Ab HAS PERFECT INGESTION PROM THE USE OF A WELL-KNOWN REMEDY THAT ALL CAN OBTAIN. The 'temper of the family and the good cheer around the table, depend so much ou tho good digestion of each Individual present that the ex periences of som? former dyspeptics who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give-but it is advice that is seldom heeded is to eat slowly and masticate each mouthful carefully. However, If slow ea*in.g and careful masticaron fail the next aid is one close to na ture, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy Is an excellent dlgestant, and in addition to helping in the di gestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of -waste that should long ago have been passed off. lt is safe, reliable, pleasant-tasting, and results are guaranteed. In the opinion of such people as Mr. L. J. Quinn, 1117 Newport ave nue, Chicago, it is the ideal remedy for indigestion, no matter how ?cvere, constipation, no matter how chronic, biliousness, headaches, gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar annoyances. Mr. Quinn says: "We use Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin ns a family rem edy and every member of the family I rom tho ilve-year-old, who is the youngest of six children, t< Mrs. Quinn and myself, use lt for stomach trouble, t-ick headache and to reg? lalo tho beweis."

New York, April 4.-Trial mar riages for young women under 18 years old are legal in New York, ac cording to a decision by Supreme Court Justice Cohalan yesterday. If she marries with the consent of 'her parents and leaves her husband be fore she attains that age, the present law in effect permits her to come int', court and obtain a decree of annul' ment as a matter of course, he d' elaTed. "This is to all Intents aad purposes providing in such cases fo trial marriages," he said, "but it is*' condition the remedy for whicn lie with the Legislature and not with thl court." The decision was in the case oil Mrs. Iva Mundell Coster, who sueil to annul her marriage with Normac B. Coster. The justice found thal although Mrs. Coster's mother had consented to her marriage, as she was only 17 when she became Coa ler's wife, she was entitled to main tr in an action for an annullment.

Washington, April 8.-Setting aside precedents of more than a cen tury, President Wilson appeared in the halls of Congress to-day to de liver his first legisPitlve message in person. He had announced to Demo cratic Congressional leaders that he would KO to the floors of the House ivhon, convened Tuesday and give il dy his views on the tariff. ; li lecision of the President evokfa : much comment among the onal leaders. He is the ; Ident of the United Slates to ap i war officially before either brunei, of Congress in deliberative .essie', since John Adams, in the drat few years of the last century Ah attorn pt was made exactl y 100 reute in 1813, to revive the cus loni, bul President Madison declined af i ?non to discuss foreign re?a lo... i*1' the Senate. Since then no Ijtlenl has even suggested joining i, the dei i berations of Congress. Pr i.ident Wilson <made his plans kiMMv to Majority Leader Under wo? i :{*.vresentative A. M. Palmer of Peu PS vi vania, and -the other House at ic leaders that they might pT< tor the event. 1 ' i President believes that he can gel i r touch With the members of '.

Those who have discussed this with -him say he is convinced that Congress will not misunderstand his .ntentlons; that he will go to the capitol in a spirit of friendly co-ope ration, so that there may be at all tl'.ies unanimity of purpose between .One executive and legislative depart ments of the government. The President, it is learned, has read with considerable surprise re ports that re had actually written parts of the tariff bill or that he had ?forced agreements with committees of Congress. He declared he simply had been asked to make suggestions and had cheerfully done so; that the bill is the work of Congress, and that his part in it has been that of coun sellor and adviser. It ls known, too, .that the President is anxious to give equal consideration to the 'leaders in both Houses of Congres ' in seeing that party pledges are carried out.
