Pills Make Them worre-Take . safs
 Remedy.
 When people become constipated their first thought is to take a compound cathartic pill or calomel or salts or mineral water and get a movement
 It Is much more safe and sensible to take a mild, effective remedy that re :, moves the waste matter at once with out pain or gripe, and that soothes and strengthens the bowels and restores to them regular daily movements without the slightest injury.
 Such remedy Is Dr. Caldwelrs Sy- rup Pepsin. It brings immediate re- lief in an easy. natural manner to old chronic cases of constipation and con- tinued use will nearly always cure.
 Doctors recommend 1t for babies and delicate women. It is a popular rem edy in thousands of homes because 1t Is just as effective for old as young.
 F. M. HarringtoS. Peoria, Ill.,, suf- fered from constipation for years, but pr. caldwells Syrup Pepsin cured him quickly and to stay cured.
 Lafe D. Weathers, the popular In- dianapolis hotel man. says: "The chil-' dren like 1t and we wouldn't be with out it Tn the house." other parents send in equally good reports of 1t.
 All druggists sell 1t as soc. and sl.00 per bottle. Pepsin Drug Co, $40 Cald- we'll Bldg, Monticello. IlL. will send a free sample to any one who has not used it. and will agree to give 1t fair trial.

GOOD ROADS,

One of the best speeches ever made in favor of the good roads proposition was that of Senator Bank head In the Senate on the 24th of last April. The speech was in advocacy of his amend. ment to the postoffice appropriation bill. which was in these words:
 Provided further. That a sum not to may be expended by the Postmas aster General in cooperation with the Sec retary of Agriculture. in improving the conditions of the roads over which ru- hereafter established. to be selected by them for the purpose of ascertaining the. possible increase In the territory and the possible increase of the num- Der of delivery days each year. the amount required for proper mainten- rural delivery routes. and the relative saving to the government in the main tenance of rural delivery routes by ed further, That the State or county. or counties. which may be selected for improvement of rural delivery routes therein under this provision shall fur. nish an equal amount of money for the jmproyement of the rural route so SC. lected."
 The extension of the free delivery mail system depends upon the condi- ton of the roads, and the people as large are therefore interested in this matter. The plan of receiving mall at the home of the farmer and the dwell CT in the country is far preferable to the old method of trudging over mud dy roads to the neighborhood postoface often four or five miles distant. Tho other advantages like easy transporta- tion to and from the market towns are of untold benefit to town and country alike.
 Senator Bankhead did what few if any other Senators ever did in a speech in the Senate He demonstrated by pho- tographs the conditions along a bad road and conditions after improvement The illustrations are given In full in the Congressional Record and there fore have been sent to every postofice in the United States. The locality se- lected for these illustrations was our own Montgofery county. and any one familiar with our roads in the old days can readily understand what a power full argument in favor of good roads can be made by comparing the old and the present good highways in Mont gomery county. The speech ought to be circulated by the thousands in Al abama. It will do a great deal of good in securing support for the Overton Good Roads Amendment to the State Constitution.

IS DEATH BY ELECTRICITY ACTU-
 AL DEATH

Is the prevailing opinion that death by electricity Is irremediable a correct theory? The common belief is that one who has received an electric shock causing insensibility is dead beyond all hope of reconciliation. but Is that a correct belief2 Some days ago Chi cago girl twelve years of age touch ed live wire and received a charge of 2.Soo volts of electricity and was pronounced dead. but she was revived and is now alive and well.
 This Is a recorded fact. and now for the theorists. Dr. Peter J. Gibbons. a New York physician of standing and reputation. argues that death by elec- trocution Is little better than a myth. Not a murderer" he declares. whose body ever went to the grave from the death chairs in use in New York and New Jersey was ever killed by the cleo tric current. Every one met death from the dissecting knives of the sur geons. or were smothered in quicklime. with which their bodies were surround ed after their so-called deaths"
 The cause of these remarks by Dr. Gibbons was the case of a laborer who while at work in a manhole, was shocked by coming in contact with a live wire and was pronounced dead. but was resuscifated and fully recovered from the effects of the shock, pr. Gtb- bons has petltioned the State authori- ties of New York for permission to ex- pertinent on any criminal who is put to death in the eleo&ic chair. He says he has no wish to interfere with or em- barrass the authorities, but desires to demonstrate that in at least a great many cases a supposed death by cleo 4rioity is not actual death but merely

In ainety-nine cases out of a hundred of death by electricity animation may be. and would be. restored. if the physi- elan understood the situation" In the words of The Kansas City Journal. dis oussing these matters. we quote:

After clinging to the wire a few moments the girl fell to the ground unconscious. but was taken nome and revived by physicians who worked on her body applying the usu- al restoratives in cases of suspended animation. The issue raised by Dr. Gibbons and corroborated to some ex- tent by this girls experience recalls the awful question as to how many persons are buried alive when In a state. of suspended animation It Is small comfort to be assured by medi- cal scientists that such cases never come to life again. Who knows how many hfdeous scenes of agonizing death struggles are enacted in the nar- row. black confines of coffins. In all cases of suspended animation. by elec- tric shock. drowning or otherwise the body should at least be kept until the signs Of dissolution are certainly ap- parent.

~rHE BLESSED DEAD"

(Selected for The Advertiser.) Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord Rev. xiv. 13.
 It was voice from Heaven which uttered this benediction. It needed a voice from Heaven in those days to convince them that the dead were wholeness, is a voice from Heaven, It is the unveiling of the world from which Jesus came and to which He passed.
 Genesis tells us of Eden: the Apoc- alypse tells Us of Heaven. Heaven transcends Eden just in the measure that Christ transcends Adam. and the counsels of creation are eclipsed by the counsels of grace. Between Eden and Heaven lies this sorrowful and sim full pilgrimage. Man Is ever fondly re- calling his lost paradise. and the mis- sion of the Gospel is to transfer his Goldman reveals.
 To "die in the Lord'' was the end of those who had lived In the Lord. And it also means to die in possession of and passion, has won for man. and then to pass up to live with Him.
 The question is not Has Christ giv- en you the right to live with Him?'' Many an heir has been set aside from reiEning from sheer want of power to rule. Have you the power to live with Christ, to bear His presence and the
 
 ton of aG .homeness.
 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord"-who have lived with Him here, wrought for Him. whose life Is a strenuous. steady self-conquest and self government. till death itself Is made the path to triumph, through Christ.
 There are multitudes Of weary nor tals. heather and Christian. who long to die. that they may, at any rate, be free from their pain. But here we rise into another reEion--a region of intense conscious. joyous vitality; a region of intelligent, responsible. glo- rious activity. in which the dignity and grandeur of life remains. and only the burden and pain are laid down.
 Death Is birth to the believer. and birth Is ever blessed. Our life here is hidden, buried. beaten by storms, nip ped by frost. drencbed by floods. But 1t Is thus that fife grows hardy, its fibre though. its stem strong. We shall see in Heaven what this stern culture was worth. One gasp one struggle and the soul passes out into a sunlit. glo- rious freedom-the world of Its home was worth. One gasp, one struggle. and glad-"at home with the Lord"
 They pass from a life of long pain to one of long bliss. All life's sad fea- lures vanish They pass from relations and fellowships here. to those which abide and enlarge and intensity throughout eternity. The love on earth Is to suffer. Love enriches life un-
