Y THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, FEBRUARY 25, -m When the Baby Needs a Laxative- No one knows better than the ever-watchful mother the natural doctor of the family in all the small ills that when- the babv is out of sorts it is usually due to indigestion or constipation. ' It is always well, in any of its illnesses, to look for this cause. The diet may have to be changed, but before good can result from it, the bowels must be moved. The mother has the choice of many medi cines cathartics, purgatives, bitter-waters, pills, physics, etc. But the little body doesn't need such harsh remedies for they wrench the system and do only temporary good, so often followed by an unpleasant reaction. A better plan Is to employ a mild, gentle laxative of which only a little is required. There is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that thousands of mothers have used successfully for baby's constipation and its accompany ing ills, such as belching, wind colic, rest lessness, sleeplessness, etc. The nursing mother will also find it ideal for herself, and it is especially important that she be free from constipation. Syrup Pepsin is guaranteed to do as prom ised or the druggist will refund the money. Thousands of cautious families have it the house, secure against the little ills. in Dr. Caldwell' YRUP PEPSIN The Perfect II Laxative PRICE AS ALWAYS - In pite of greatly Inert ted laboratory costs due to the War. by sacrificing profit and absorbing war taxes we have maintained the price at which this family Uxat've has been sold by druggists for the past 26 years.

The text of President Wilson's address at Boston yesterday is as follows: Governor Coolidge, Mr. Mayor, Fel low citizens; I wonder if you are half as glad to see me as I am to see you. It warms my heart to see a great body of my fellow citizens again, because in some respects during the recent months I have been very lonely indeed without your comradeship and counsel, and I tried at every step of the work which fell to me to recall what I was sure would be your counsel with re gard to the great matters which were tinder consideration. I do not want you to think that I have not been appreciative of the ex traordinary reception which was given to me on the other side, in saying that it makes me very happy to get home again. I do not mean to say that I was not very deeply touched by the cries that came from the great crowds on the other side. But. I want to say to you in all honesty that I felt them to be a calL of greeting to you rather than to me. I did not feel that the greeting was personal. I had in my heart the over crowning pride of being your repre sentative and of receiving the plaudits of men everywhere who felt that your hearts beat with theirs in those great greeting, it was not a tone of mere greeting, it was not a tone of more generous welcome; it was the calling of comrade to comrade, the cries that come from men who say "we have waited for this day when the friends of liberty should come across the sea and shake hands with us, to see that a new world was constructed upon a new basis and a foundation of justice and right." I can t tell you the inspiration that came from the sentiments that come out of those simple voices . of the crowd. And the proudest thing I have to report to you is that this great country of ours is trusted throughout the world. I have not come to report the pro- u-edings of the peace conference: that would be premature. I can say that I have received very happy im pressions from this conference; the impression that while there are many differences of judgment, while there are some divergencies of object, there is nevertheless a common spirit and a common realization of the necessity of setting up new standards of right in the world. whole case; hear it from the mouths of the men most interested; hear it from these who are officially commis sioned to Btate it; to hear the rival claims; hear the claims that affect new 'nationalities, that affect new areas of the world, that affect new commercial and economic -connections that have been established by the great world war' through which we have gone. . And I have been struck by the moderateness of those who have represented national claims. I can testify that I have no where seen the gleam of passion. I have seen earnestness, I have seen tears come to the eyes of men who plead for down trodden people whom they were privileged to speak for; but they were not the tears -of anguish, they were the tears of ardent hope. . ' And I don't see how any man can fail to have been subdued by these pleas, subdued to this feeling, that he was not there to assert an individual judgment of his own, but to -try to as sist the cause of humanity. And in the midst of it all every interest seeks out first of all, wjien it reaches Paris, the representatives of the United States. Why? Because, and I think I am stating the most wonderful fact in history because there is no nation in Europe that sus pects the motives of the United States.' Was there ever so wonderful a thing seen before? Was there ever so moving a thing? Was there ever any fact that so bound the nation that had won that esteem forever to deserve it? I would not have you understand that the great men who represent the other nations there in conference are disesteemed by those who know them. Quite the Contrary. But you under stand that the nations of Europe have again and again clashed with one another in competitive interest. It is impossible for. men to forget those sharp issues that were drawn between them in times past. It is impossible for men to believe that all ambitions have all of a sudden been foregone. They remember territory that was coveted; they remember rights that it was attempted to extort; they re member political ambitions which It was attempted to realize and while they believe that men have come Into a different temper, they cannot for get these things, and so they do not resert to one another for a dispas- dnrtnta viaw nf tho mflt.tera in con Because the men who are In Con- troversy. They resert to that nation terence in Paris realize as keenly as' WH hns wnr, the enviable distinction of being regarded as the friend of mankind. Whenever it is desired to send a small force of soldiers to occupy a niece of territory where It is thought nobody else will be welcome they asK for American soldiers. And wnere otn er soldiers would be looked upon with suspicion and perhaps met with re sistence, the American soldier is wel corned with aclaim. I have had so many grounds for pride cn the other side of the water that I am very thankful that they are not grounds for personal pride. I'd be the most stuck-up man in the world. And it has been an infinite pleasure t a 1 J 4 any American can realize that they are not the masters of their people; that they are the servants of their Peoples and that the spirit of their People has awakened to a new pur Pose and a new conception of their power to realize that purpose and that no man dare eo hom from that conference and report anything less "ome than was expected of it. the conference seems in vmi to eo slowly; from day to day in Paris it seems to go slowly: but I wonder if ou realize the complexity of the task nich it has undertaken. It seems as i the settlements of this war affect. and affect directly, every great, and 1 meumes think every small, nation n the world, and no one decision can Prudently he made which is not' prop erly linked in with the great series of ether decisions which must accompany And it must be reckoned in with ne final result if the real quality and toaracter of that result is to be prop erly judged. "hat we are doing is to hear the I have been searching for the funda mental fact that converted Europe to believe in us. Before this war Europe did not believe in us, as she does now She did not believe in us throughout the first three years of the war. She seems really to have believed that we were holding -off because we thought we could make more by staying out than by going in. And all of a sudden, in a short 18 months, the whole ver dict is reversed. There can be but one explanation of it. They saw what j we did that without making a single claim we put all our men and all our means at the disposal of those who were fighting for their homes, in the first instance, but for a cause, the cause of.human rights and justice, and that we went in, not to support their national claims, but to suport the great cause which they held in com; mon. And when they saw that America not only held ideals, but acted ideals, they were converted to America and became firm partisans of those ideals. T met a group of scholars when I was in Paris some gentlemen from one of the Greek vniversities who had come to see me, and in whose pres ence or rather in . the presence of those traditions of learning, I felt very young indeed. I told them that I had cue of the delightful revenges that- sometimes comes to a man. All my life I had heard men speak, with a sort of conde scension of ideals and of idealists, and particularly those separated, enclois tered horizons which they chose to term academic, who were in the habit of uttering ideals in the free atmos phere when they clash with nobody in particular. And I said I have had this sweet re venge. Speaking with perfect frank ness in the name of the people of the United States I have uttered as the ob. fjects of this great war ideals, and nothing but ideals, and the war has been won by that inspiration. Men were fighting with tense muscle and lowered head until they came to realize those things, feeling they were fighting for their lives and their coun try, and when these accents of what it was all about reached them from America they lifted their heads, they raised their eyes to Heaven, when they saw men in khaki coming across the sea in the spirit of crusaders, and they found that these were strange men, reckless of danger not only, but reckless because they seemed to see something that made that danger ; worth while. Men have testified to me in Europe that our men were possess ed by something that they could only call a religious fervor. They were not hke-any of the other soldiers. They had "a vision, they' had a dream, and they were fighting in the dream, and fighting in the dream they turned the whole tide of battle and it never came back. One of our American humorists, meeting the criticism that American soldiers Were not trained long enough said: "If it takes only half as long to train an American soldier as any other because you only have to train him one way, and he did only &o one way, and he never came back until he could do it when he pleased." And now do you realize that this confidence we have established throughout the world imposes a burden upon us if you choose to call it a bur den. It is one of those burdens which to me to see those gallant soldires of j anv" nation ought to be proud to carry. ours or wnom me consuiuuuu ui United States made me the, proud commander. You may be proud of the 26th division, but I commanded the 26th divisicn and saw what they did under my direction,, and everybody praises the American soldier with the feeling that In praising him he is subtracting from the credit of no one else. feaaaiftrjii Don't let your beauty be spoiled by a dark or ashy skin.

The Europe that I left the other day i was full of something that it had I never felt fill its heart so full before. I it was full of hope. The Europe of the -second year of the war, the Europe -f the third year of the war, was sink ig to a sort of a stubborn desperation, "hey did not see any great thing to ie achieved even when the war should se won. They hoped there would be some salvage; they hoped that they Dressmaker Doing Her Bit "Since I was a child, I have suf fered with stomach trouble and gas tric attacks.

But they thought it would simply be: the' resumption of the old life that Europe had led led in fear, led in anxiety, led in constant suspi cious watchfulness. They never dream ed that it -would, be a Europe of set tied peace and of justified hope. And now these Ideals have wrought this new magic, that all the peoples of Europe are buoyed up and confident in the spirit of hope, because they be lieve that we are at the eve of a new age in the world when nations will understand one another, when na tiens will support one another in every Just cause, when nations will unite ev ery moral and every physical strength to see that the right shall prevail. If America were at this juncture to fail the world, what would come of it? I do not mean any disrespect to any other great people when I say that America is the hope of the world, and if she does not justify that hope the results are unthinkable. Men will be thrown back upon the bitterness of disappointment not only, but the 'bit terness of despair. AH nations will be set. us as hostile camps again; the" men at the peace conference will go home Avith their heads upon their breasts, knowing, that they have fail ed for they were bidden not to come home from there until they did some thing more than sign a- treaty- of peace. Suppose we sign the treaty of peace and that it is the - most satisfactory treaty of peace that the confusing ele ments of the modern world will afford and go home and think about our la bors; we will know that we have left Avritten upon the historic table at Ver sailles, upon which Vergennes and Benjamin Franklin wrote their names-,- nothing but a modern scrap of paper. No nations united to defend it, no great forces combined to make it good, no assurance given to the downtrodden and fearful people of the world that they shall be safe. Any man who thinks that America will take part in giving the world any such rebuff and disappointment as that does not know America. I invite him to test the sentiments of the nation. We set this nation up to make men free and did not continue our conception and purpose to America ad now we will make men free. If we did not do that the fame of America would be gone and all her powers would be dissipated. She then would have to keep her power for those narrow sel fish, provincial purposes which seem fo dear to some minds that have no sweep beyond the nearest horizon. I should welcome no sweeter challenge than that. I have fighting blood in me Fnd it is sometimes a delight to let it have scope, but if it i.c; a challenge Cn this occasion it will be an indulg ence. Think of the picture, think of the utter blackness that would fall on the world. America has failed Amer ica made a little, essay at generosity and then withdrew. America said: "We are "your friends,'' but it was only for today, not for tomororow. America said: "Here is oUrTowr to vindicate right'' cud then the next day said: "Let right take care of itself and we will take care of ourselves." America saick "We set up a light to lead men along the paths of liberty but we have lowered it, it is intended only to light cur own path.'' We set up a great ideal of liberty, and then we said: 'Liberty is a thing that you .must win for yourself, do not call upon us.' And think of the world that we would leave. Do you realize how many new nations are going to be set up in the presence of old and powerful nations in Europe and left there, if left by us, without a disinterested friend? Do you believe in the Polish cause, as I do? Are you going to set up Poland, immature, inexperienced, as yet unorganized and leave her with a circle of armies around her? Do you believe in the aspiration of the Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs as I do? Do you know how many powers would be quick to pounce upon them if there were not the guarantees of the world behind their liberty? Have you thought of the suffering of Armenia? You poured out your money to help succor the Armenians after they suffered; now set your strength so that they shall never suffer again. The arrangements of the present peace cannot stand a generation unless they are guaranteed by the united" forces of, the civilized world. And if we do not guarantee them, can not you see the picture? Your hearts have instructed you where the burden of this war fell. It did not fall upon the national treasuries, it did not fall upon the instruments of administra tion, it did not fall upon the resources of the nations. It fell upon the vic tims' homes everywhere, where wo men were toiling in hope that their men would come back. When I think of the homes upon which dull despair would settle where this great hope is disappointed, I should wish for my part never to have had America play any part whatever in this attempt to emancipate the world. But I talk as if there were any questions. I have no more doubt of the verdict of America in this mat ter than I have doubt of the blood that is in me. And so, my fellow citizens, I have come back to report progress and I do not believe the progress is going to stop short of the goal. The nations of the world have set their heads now to do a great thing, and they are not going to slacken their purpose. And when I speak of the nations of the UFT OFF CORNS!

They are in the saddle and they are going to see to it that if their present governments do not do their will, some other governments shall. And the secret is out and the present "governments know it. There is great deal of harmony to be got out of common knowledge. There is a great deal of sympathy to be got out of living in the same atmos phere and except for the differences of languages which puzzled my American ear very sadly. I could have believed I was at home in France or in Italy or in England when I was on the streets, when I was in the presence of the crowds, when I was in great halls where men were gath ered together irrespective of "class. I did not feel quite as much at home as I do here, but I felt that now at 'any rate, after this storm of war had cleared the air, men were seeing eye to eye everywhere and these were kind of folks who would understand and that they were thinking the same thing. I feel about you as I am reminded of a story of that excellent witness and good artist, Oliver Herford, who one day, sitting at luncheon at his club, was slapped vigorously on the back by a man wtiom he . did not know very well. He said: "Oliver.-old boy, how are you?" He looked at him rather coldly. He said: "I don't know your name, I don't know your face, but your manners are very familiar," and I must say that your manners are very familiar, and let me add very delightful. It is a great comfort for one thing, to realize that you all understand the language I am speaking. A friend of mine said that to talk through an in terpreter was like witnessing the compound fracture of an idea. But the beauty of it is that, whatever the impediments of the channel of com munication, the idea is the same; that it gets registered, and it gets registered in responsive hearts and re ceptive purposes. 1 have .come back for a strenuous attempt to transact business for a lit tle while in America, but I have really come back to say to you, in all sober ness and honesty, that I have been try ing my best to speak your thoughts. ' When I sample myself, I think I find that I am a typical American, and if I sample deep enough, and get down to what is probably the true stuff of a man. then I have hope that it is part of the stuff that is like the other f el- j low's at home. And. therefore probing deep in my heart and trying to see the things that t are right without regard to the things ; that may be debated as expedient, I j feel that I am interpreting the purpose j and the thought of America; and in j loving America I find I have joined ; the great majority of my fellow men throughout the world.
