Plain Common Sense.

When a man has ten minutes to eat
la zeal and "catch the train" a lecture
o. how and what to eat and what time
60 levote to the MEALS not just the thing.
When a woman has stood around over
@ Tot stove preparing a meal and in
he ing the fumes from boiling kettles
an frying pans, a lecture telling her
he she must eat this or that is not
t. gible. She can't eat; sheis not hungry.
When visiting with friend or relative
and being obliged from policy or
diplomacy to eat what is set before you,
the rules of what and how much to eat
become untenable. When delayed by
work, business or elements of the weather
till you are nearly famished and could
not get bite to eat though you pay
double the price, these lectures and di-
rections on food and its mastication
become so inconsistent as to be OBJ
noxious. It has been left for DR..
Caldwell's (Laxative) Syrup Pepsin to
fill the long felt want and it is the medium
by which (if you take it according to di-
rections) you may defy the laws and
disregard the warnings of lecturing
philosophers about your eating.
Eat what you want if you can get it
and all you want as quickly as you have
to or as slowly as you must, whether it
is rare or well done, green or ripe, fat
or lean, boiled, fried or baked.
Take DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin ac-
cording to directions, then you will get
relief and keep free from all the ills that
follow the Irregularities from which
nearly everyone suffers and which pro-
duce indirectly nearly every disease or
ailment known to suffering humanity.
Do not call your ailments by too long a
name. Do not enlarge On your ap-
parent illness. Remember If you keep
your stomach and bowels in order, 20
must feel well and keep well.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does for
you all this and more. Take It accord
ing to directions You will need no
further proof than your own experience.

UTAH'S IRON ORE EXHIBIT.
Specimens from Iron County win be on
Exhibition at 81. Louis.

Iron county will be represented at
the st. Louis exposition by very fine
display OF iron ore says writer for
the Iron County Record. The gentle
men who have charge OF the Utah ex-
hiblt realize that the iron deposits Of
that county are likely 10 become the
most valuable resource In the state and
are therefore giving II the most prom
inent place In our state mineral exhibit.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron company
was asked 10 contribute some Of lis iron
ore for the exhibit, but II refused all
aid In the matter. So far as can he
learned from reliable sources II seems
to be- the companys policy TO depreclate
the value OF the deposits here, and to
keep other investors out.
When Colonel S. Il. Milner was APP
preached In regard TO the same mat
ter he gladly consented to do all In his
power to make such collection OF iron
ore as would do justice TO the county
and TO the state.
To b. a. Perkins, who Is making the
collection, he gave letter OF introduce
ton TO his foreman, Fred Cronton, en-
pressing the desire that he be furnished
with whatever ore he wanted. and also
that he be aided In securing representa-
tive samples from other properties. Five
tons OF hematlte were secured, partly
from the Miner property on Desert
mound. and partly from the McGary
property on Iron Springs mountain and
five tons OF magnetic were taken from
the Great Western blowout
