Peoples Cure
for Stomach Ills

II would be folly to say that person
should always be his own doctor. There
are times when one cannot be too quick
in consulting a competent and reliable
physician, but the fact does remain that
there are many ailments that can be
cured at home at very little expense.
Such remedies can be bought at any
,hrst-class drug store for small sum.
Among the diseases that can be effec-
lively treated at home are such as per-
tain to the stomach, liver and bowels,
like constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness.
natulency. sour stomach. bloated stomach. sick
headaches. heartburn, etc. For these troubles
there is no better remedy than DIR. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin. the great herb laxative compound.
and among its staunchest friends are the doc
tors themselves. In such troubles they know
they have nothing better to orer than the I'M
gradients contained in this remedy. and hence
the liberal ones advise their patients TO take ~.
IL often happens that at the commencement
OF an attack some people hesitate TO take such
simple remedy. and run to DOCTOR but after
trying various doctors they finally take Dr.

Is that OF Mr.. Herrin. OF Lawrencevine. H.,
who suffered from what the doctors called ca
tarrh Of the stomach. He was given up TO die
by three leading physicians. He had no appe-
title couldn't digest what little he did eat, had
severe pains in the stomach. and finally, mo-
ments when he himself thought he would DIE.
Ultimately he was advised TO try DR.. Calqwell's

Wonderful Modern Boat Breaks All
Records For River Travel at Trial

Peoria. H., Aug. 1O.-Thirty-ive
miles an hour in a motor boat was
the remarkable speed attained today
by a boat radically different from
the ordinary craft of its Kind. The
test was made on the Illinois river
over a measured course and under
the supervision of officers of the Hi
nois Valley Yacht club. The boat
which turned the trick is a forty-foot
open launch with a pair of four cyl
Under forty horse power engines.
The boat is known as the Hydro
curve, and is the invention of c. A.
Marker, of Pearl. III. The hull and
not the engine power, according to
the inventor, is responsible for the
high speed possible TO attain.
Built ON New Lines.
The hull is built entirely on new
lines, though above the water it has
the same general appearance Of the
ordinary launch. The form Of the
submerged portion is wider and of
less draft at its prov and narrows
gradually to an apex at the stern
where it is of greatest draft The
bottom is slightly concave, both
lengthwise and erosswise. The sides
are slightly convex, both lengthwise
and vertically. BY this means every
particle of water is set in motion
gradually and handled with the least
possible application of power.
Instead of blowing through the wa
ter and displacing 1t to each side OF
the boat. the water is displaced from
the surface downward, moving the
water in one direction only. The
Hydrocurye running at the same
speed as an ordinary boat notonly
moves the water at about one-third
of the speed. but handles it accord
ing to its tendency by natural flow.
instead of blowing into the watef at
high speed, the boat has a tendency
to rise from the water and skim over
the surface. The owner of the boat
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-08-10

has patented the invention in this
country and abroad, and says he is
confident it will revolHionize boat
building.
Breaks All River Records.
The Hydrocurye boat came up the
river yesterday and broke all river
records on the trip. though the own
ers claim that it can do better From
Alton TO Peoria is just 1923 miles
and this distance was covered in
seven and one-half hours. The own
Ter of the craft claims the boat has
gone a distance of one and one
eighth miles In one and oue-holf min
utes. lie says high speed is just as
practicable in small or large boats
built on this principle He is at the
head of a company which has been
formed to manufacture tho new boats.
This afternoon former Gov Van
SAINT, of Minnesota. who Is interested
in boat building or the great lakes
rode in the boat and expressed him
self as highly pleased with the per-
Torrance.
This boat may attempt to carry a
message from Chicago to st. Louis
Oct. ~ when President Roosevelt is
to visit st. Louis. The Illinois VAL
ley Yacht club. the Chicago Power
Boat club and the St Louis Motor
Boat club already have plans under
way for relay race from Chicago
to st. Louis on that date.
Further trials of this remarkable
boat will be made during the next
few days. A new propeller is being
prepared which it is claimed may
drive the boat from forty to forty
fiyesmiles an hour.

MULES EAT BONNETS
OFF EACH OTHERS HEADS

Many have been the unrighteOus
acts laid to the Missouri mule. but
according to authorities on this sub
iect. never until yesterday has It been
said that a Missouri mule is an cpl
cure. But the man whb makes this
statement now Is a Seventh street
baker, and. being such he ought to
know. All the more 80. because he
SAYS il about his own two "Mauds.
which are hitched every day to a
wagon to deliver bread to the bakers
customers.
II was while playing as an amateur
detective that the baker made his
wonderful discovery in regard to the
Missouri mule.
Al this time of the year. when the
city pavements are sizzling with the
heat.the minds OF all turn 20 thoughts
of shade. And some one. moge hui
name than others. not only thought
OF shade for himself. but also planned
a way 10 keep his horse cool. And Il
was simply by cutting holes In the
rim of large "hayseed' hat. This
method of keeping the horse from
dropping was invented several years
ago. and is in general use at this
time.
Every day. for over a week. when
he sent his mules out in the morning.
the baker would place their bonnets
nicely on their heads. tying them
with blue or pink ribbon. and every
night the mules would return TO their
stalls minus the pretty headgear. The
bonnets that the baker used were
of straw, and to the mules. when the
sun was shining brightly on the straw
there came the odor, more or loss. Of
new mown hay. After a week of de-
toctiye work the baker found where
his hats were disappearing to. The
mules we're eating them off each
others heads. 1t is geedless to say
that the mules now roam the streets
without headgear Of any sort.-Globe

HIS TOMBSTONE WILL BE 4
HUNDRED TON BOULDER

Morristown, n. j.. Aug. 10
There was taken from Cranberry
Lake granite boulder Weighing 100
tons. which VIII be placed in the fam
lily plot of Col. William Barbour In
the Patterson cemetery
Fifty years ago Col. Barbour sat
upon the rock while on his way from
Dover to Newton He had just come
to this country poor boy, and was
Obliged to walk to Sussex county.
The Colonel who is now a million
.aire. related with delight the time he
sat upon the boulder. II was noon
time and he stopped 10 rest and eat
"a frugal lunch. The thought struck
him that the stone would make a
beautiful monument and he declared
thar if he ever got enough money he
would have it.
Several months ago Mr.. Barbour
called to mind the incident. went to
Cranberry, purchased the stone. and
made arrangements for its removal.
The railroad at first declined to trans
port the stone to Paterson. but finally
consented after constructing a spe-
clal fiat car. After the rock was
brought TO the railroad tracks AMI
placed upon the car it was found Ia
be TOO high TO pass under some OF
the bridges
Upon communicating this to Col.
Barbour 1t was decided to trim on
about thirty tons to obyiate the diff
.cultN. The cost of the stone and It's
removal to Paterson cemetery was
more than $4,000.

Efforts are now being made in this

OF heads and horns, and Dr. w. T.
Hornaday has given impetus to the
movement by presenting his private
collection of over 100 rare specimens

of the enterprise are Mr.. Madison
Grant for the Boone and Crockett
club and Mr.. John NJ. Phillips for the
Lewis and Clark club. Circular let

sportsmen and travellers of America

the matter calling attention to the
scheme and thereby giving them an
opportunity Of obtaining inches for all

are the result Of personal prowess or
of funds contributed to the commit
