1 pecially among the children, by the
| use of a free sample bottle of the fa
mous laxative, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctor’s to
send a free sample bottle has been re
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
This Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is a
truly wonderful laxative and especially
adapted to the needs of babies and
children because it is pleasant to taste
and no child will refuse it. Then, it ia
mild and never gripes. . It is all that
a child's remedy should be, though it is
a good laxative for the whole family
because it is effective at all ages. It
Is simply not dvnamic like salts, pills
and powerful' cathartics, which should
not be given to children anyway.
Nine times out of ten when a child
rCbmplains and you don’t know exactly
what is the matter with it, it needs a
laxative—its bowles are constipated.
Syrup Pepsin will correct the trouble,
tone up the child and soon it will be
well again—over night wonderful re
sults have been secured with Syrup
Pepsin.

CARDlll WORKED
LIKE_A CHARM
-After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked Like a Charm.
Jonesville, S. C.—“I suffered with
womanly trouble,” writes Mrs. J. S.
Kendrick, in a letter from this place,
“and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
n ita r% Aon AAr
I went to the hospital, and they oper
ated on me, but I got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Oardui, and began to
improve, so I continued using it. Now,
I am well, and can do my own work.
I don’t feel any pains.
Cardui worked like a charm.”
There must be merit in this purely

the cure was lasting.
Mrs. O. W. Blackburn, Mal

timonial which I gave in praise
of Doan’s Kidney Pills some
years ago. Th cure this reme*
; dy made has an permanent,
j but I still take a few doses oe
j casionally as a kidney tonic. At
j one time I was greatly annoyed
! by a dull pain in the smali'of my
! back and I always fell tired and
j languid. The secretions from
! my kidneys bothered me and
; other symptoms of kidney com
: plaint were present. Doan’s

Judges at avia

and others In positions of _
eponeiLility, have their own woes. The
men who figmed in the recent tourna
ment at Belmont park, New York, cer
tainly had their share of trouble. In
addition to the special harassments
connected with the work of supervis
ing the contests, there were others.
This story is toid in connection with
the affair: Their duties, however,
would have been rendered far less ar
duous nad it not been for the multi
tude of requests that came to them
over the telephone. The bell in their
stand rang almost Incessantly and In
many cases the interferes with tho
workings of the judicial mind were
women. One morning while the judges
were considering a stock of protesta
that filled the available space in the
tower the- telephone began to jingle
and Jat ■ u A. Blair, Jr., dropped a
documem he was reading to the others
and spntug. to answer It. “Are you
there?’’ came over the wire in a high
bred English accent. “Right here,”
Mr. Blair answered hr effect. "Is this
tho Judges’ stand?" “Yes.” “Oh, I
have ' try! to grt ydu. This is
the Conn teas of Blank. Will you order
luncheon for six at the clubhouse at
half past 1? I want,” went on the tele
phonist, without giving Mr. Blair a
chance to recover from the first shock
to h is judicial dignity, “a hors
d’oeuvre,, some soup, fish”—Bang!
went the receiver. What Mr. Blair:
said to he outside air may not be re
corded. But if the countess got her
luncheon that day she must have sent
her order through in another way.

Determined Fighter.

proven by his surviving body to be a
faithful portrait, showing us at least
the outward man as he was. In per
son he was tall and handsome, with
features of dreamy and almost effem
inate beauty, In no wise suggestive of
the manly traits which he certainly
possessed. For the incident at Ka
desh showed him unquestionably a
man of fine courage with ability to
rise to a supreme crisis; while the
indomitable spirit evident there is
again exhibited In the tenacity with
which he pushed the war against the
great Hittite Empire and carried his
conquests, even if not lasting, far In
to northern Syria. After hls nearly
fifteen years of campaigning, in which
he more than redeetned the almost
fatal blunder at Kadesh, he was quite
ready to enjoy the well earned peace.
He was Inordinately vain and made
far more ostentatious display of hls
wars on his monuments than was
ever made by Thutmose.
With his name perpetuated In vast
buildings distributed at all points
along the Nile from the marshes of
the northern Delta to the Fourth Cat
aract, Rameees lived on In magnifi
cence even surpassing that of Amen

of the venerable line which he repre
sented.—Breadsted’s “A History of

Real Jekyll and Hyde.
Honest by day and burglar by night
was James Coombs, a man of the
Jekyll and Hyde type, who, at South
ampton pleaded guilty to several
charges of burglary and one of unlaw
fully wounding. Some hundreds of
keys were found In the prisoner’s
house, and so numerous were the sto
lon nrtlrloH thpv had to he removed !
in a van. Coombs used to preach at i
Methodist chapels and Salvation Army j
meetings in the district. By day he
worked on the docks and at night;
burgled, chiefly unoccupied houses. In
defense it was urged that the prison-1
er’s acts amounted to monomania on ;
his part, and that he led two lives, one |
respectable and the other criminal, j
The judge said the prisoner was a i
danger to society, and might have I
done well if he had applied his In*
genuity to better directions. A sen-!
tence of three years’ penal servitude !
was passed.
Dollar Bills From All Over.
“That dollar silver certificate you

the bank cashier. “Part of the paper

Samovar of the Romans.
The samovar seems so distinctly a

In the Swiss city of Avenches, which

that the ancient capital of the Hel- j

He believed, therefore taught, that
health is the necessary result of
obedience; disease that of diso
bedience to physical laws; that
all stimulants, whether alcoholic
or narcotic, are pernicious, and should
be rejected, save, possibly, In those
rare cases where one poison may be
wisely employed to neutralize or expel
another; he condemned tea and coffee,
as well a3 tobacco, opium and alcoholic
potables—cider and beer equally with
brandy and gin, save that the poison is
more concentrated in the latter. He
disapproved of all spices and condi
ments save (grudgingly) a very little
salt; and he held that more suitable
and wholesome food for human beings
than the fle3h of animals can almost al
ways be procured, and should be pre
ferred. The bolting of meal, to sep
arate its coarser from its finer parti

porter for the London Times. He was
sent one evening to write up the story
of a rich and beautiful gk-1, who had
taken chloroform because her lover
failed to appear at the altar when due.
The young Philadelphian raced nimbly
about, gathering various particulars,
and hurried back to the office in a cab,
after getting his copy into shape. Not
far from midnight he sped upstairs
to the local room, and turned in his
copy with apologies for his unavoid
able lateness. “It doesn’t matter,"
said one of the editors, calmly, “this

Society of the Blue Shield.
A French contemporary advises the
head of the school for hotel keepers
recently established in Paris to study
the precepts laid down ky Doctor
Auerbach of Frankfort, who presides
over the society known as the Ene
mies of Noise. He has devoted spe
cial attention to the unnecessary
noises heard in hotels and has is
sued a number of rules to be ob
served by hotel managers. Those
who comply with them are allowed
to display outside their establish
ments the blue shield of the society.
Some of the rules are by no means
easy to follow, notably one which for
bids the admission “of noisy, ill bred
or foul mouthed travelers, and those
afflicted with loud, squeaky or snriil
voices. Such travelers should be In
scribed on a black list, and will thus
soon be excluded from all hotels cer
tified by the society.”
A Slow Town.
“Talk about Philadelphia being a
slow town!” said a real estate man
in New York, “I know one In New
Jersey that has it walloped to a con
clusion. You knbw there is money
sometimes in cemetery lots, so I
bought some acreage near this town—
I won’t mention names—and laid out
Just as nice a cemetery as the most
fastidious could ask for. Prices for
lots were simply scandalous, they
were so low. That was more than a
year ago, and, by Jove! I haven’t sold
a lot since—not a lot. The people
there haven’t got energy enough to
die, that’s what’s the matter! Unless
they begin to move in pretty soon I’m
going to turn it into a cabbage patch.”
“You won’t try to raise early cab
bages on it, will you?” inquired a soft

It Saved the Calf.
Deacon Brown had dressed for
church and had suddenly remembered
that he had not fed the calf. The calf
was very young and the deacon was
v«ry tenderly and cautiously raising
him on a bottle. lie hesitated about
venturing to feed the animal without
changing his clothes, but his time was
limited, so he took the bottle and
went to the barn. The calf choked,
and accidentally coughed milk all
over the deacon’s coat—a fact which
irritated the good man severely, and,
losing his tempre, he said:
“You fool calf! If it were not for
the love I bear my Lord and Master
I’d chop your-head off.”

mass by the outnumbering womep
and run about the sacred edifice and
beaten until they declare (often false

Christmas come around.
