FASTING WON'T
 CURE STOMACH ILLS
Diet or starving will not take the place
 of medicine.

Dyspepsia and constipation cannot be cured by cutting down the food supply. NO matter how much we eat if the di- gestlve organs create the proper amount or gastrlc and peptic juices there will be no dyspepsia, and if the bowels expel the waste matter regularly there will be no consumption. To cure dyspepsia we must create an abundance of the necessary digestive juices. To cure constipation we must force the bowels to do their share or the work This can be done by the reiable tonic digestive laxative-Dr. CaidWelIs Syrup Pepsin. Take it regu- iariy ana you will soon be cured of dys- pepsia ana constipation and the dis asreeapie symptoms such as heartburn, SICK headache, sour stomach, bloating, pelchihg, pimples etc., will disappear. The nrst few doses give easy, regular, natural daily movements even in obsti- nate cases Of constipation, without pain or srlpe yet is safe and pleasant fof paoies or delicate women.

"Here's To You DAD

We happened in a home the
other night and over the parlor
door saw the legend worked in
letters Of red, "What is home
without a mother" Across
the room was another brief,
God bless our Eome."
Now, whats the matter with
"God bless our dad?" He gets
up early, lights the fire, boils an
egg, grabs his dinner-pail and
wipes off the dew of the dawn
with his boots while many a
mother is sleeping. He makes
the weekly hand out for the
butcher, the grocer, the milk
man and baker, and his little
pile is badly worn before he has
been home an hour. He stands
off the bailiff and keeps the
rent paid up.
If there is noise during the
night dad is kicked in the back
and made to go downstairs to
find the BURGLAR and kill him.
Mother darns the socks, but
dad bought the socks in the
first place and the needles and
the yarn afterward. Mother
does up the fruit; well, dad
bought it all, and jars and SUI
gar cost like mischief.
/ Dad buys chickens for the
Sunday dinner, carves them
himself and draws the neck
from the ruins after everyore
else is served. "What is hon e
without a mother?" Yes, that is
all right; but what is home
without a father? Ten chances
Ito one it is a boarding house,
father is under a slab and the
landlady is the widow. Dad
here's to you! You've got your
faults-you may have lots Of
sem-but you're alright, and
we will miss you when you're
gone.

Letter From w. E. Grigsby

The following letter was re-
ceived by ]. j. Amen this MORN
ing from w. E. Grigsby, who is
spending the winter in Texas:
Corpus Christa, Texas, Dec.
Is, 1907. MIR. j. j. Amen,
Dear Sir: / suppose that it is
about time for me to report.
We had a very pleasant trip.
We stopped at San Antonio
eight days, and found it a large
city with many places Of inter-
est to see. The old Spanish
part is peculiar in its con-
struction. The streets are mar
row, with sidewalks about four
feet in width and about 18
inches above the street, with a
jump off at every crossing.
The streets run every way.
The new part is different and
has some very fine buildings.
We arrived in Corpus Christa
last Saturday. Mr.. Wilson
rented two rooms and keeps
house in one of them; / use the
other and board out.
The weather is fine and is said
to be very healthy. / am much
disappointed in the bay. There
are no vessels, that are of any
size, coming in here. No FISH,
ing of any amount, nor any
shooting near by. About
twenty five miles across the
bay there is good duck shooting
now. 1t is very pleasant here
and not very expensive hotel
board only from seven to twelve
dollars per week.
We we're two nights and ore
day going to San Antonio.
Only saw the south part Of
Oklahoma and north mart Of
Texas. l did not like the part
could see from the cars, too
much of a sameness -no tim
Der nor open prairie, all mos
quote bush, cactus and sn all
farms. We expect to stsy here
a month anyway, then we may
go back to San Antonio and 90
out in the country from there,
and think that l will be we'll
pleased with the trip. The
mercury stood at about 20 to-
day at noon, but it is always
cooler in the evening. We
keep real we'll. How is every
4 thing there? Would like to
hear from you. Best regards
to you and yours.
Respectfully,
w. z Grigsby.
