Mr. Joseph M. Weber’s re
markable tliree-aet play “The
Climax,” by Edward Locke, for
which our local theatre manage
ment arranged a date a few days

What Children Teach Us.
Children make us kindly toward all
children. They open up fountains of
sympathy. Children teach us infinite
ly more than we can teach them.
Children are really given to train up a
parent in the way he should go. Chil
dren brlngvus messages straight from
heaven—messages of Innocence, ten
derness, dependence, love, A parent's
love and sacrifice—a true father or
mother would die for their child—is a
vision of the supreme sacrifice In
Christ. A true home with the child
in the midst becomes a very window
of heaven.

When a person has become discouraged
through years of failure to find a cure,
and finally, perhaps, gives up trying, it
is small wonder that he becomes skep
tical. And yet, to all who have con
stipation, we would say, “Try just one
thing more."
We wish you would try Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, a laxative tonic that has
been used for a generation. Thousands
are using it; surely some of your friends
among the number. You can buy it of
any druggist at fifty cents and one dol
lar a bottle, but better still, send your
name and address to Dr. Caldwell for a
free sample bottle. He will send you
enough to convince you t>f its merits, and
then if you like it you can buy it of your
druggist. • Mr. J. J. Petty of Unionville,
Mo., Mr. George W. Zimmerman of Har
risburg, Pa. and many others of both
sexes and in all parts of the country first
used a sample bottle and now have it
regularly in the house. e “ ,
You will learn to do away with salts. 1
waters and cathartics for these are but I
temporary reliefs while Dr. Caldwells I
Syrup Pepsin is guaranteed to cure per- ■
manently. It will train your stomach and
bowel muscles so that they will do their
work again naturally without outside ail
Cast jaside your skepticism and try Syrup
Dr Caldwell does not feel that the 'i'i
purchase of his remedy ends his obli
gation. He has specialized in stomach
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the M
reader any advice on the subject free -
of charge. All are welcome to write !
him. Whether for the medical advice
or the free sample address him Dr.
