An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very SER
iously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
Ike; food sours In the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along. and h stools are forced and
irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion
80 until Il becomes chronic and UNDER
mines your health. II is good advice to
suggest TO you that YOU go to your drug
gist and get a bottle OF DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That
Is what G Fowler OF Carson City. Mich,
did aud he is well today. Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A. For-
tune, OF Grand Junction, Tenn, B. F.
Thompson, of Shenandoah, Ia, who ac-
tually considers that It saved his life.
You can obtain a 50-cent or 81 bottle OF
the druggist. and, taken according TO d.
reetions. Il win probably be all you need.
II Is a liquid, acts gently, never gripes,
and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach, and that is what Is es-
pecially needed in Indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsln
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
the doctor. II will be sent direct to your
home without n charge. In this way
thousands rave proven to their own sat
isfaction DR.. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin is
the very remedy they needed 20 cure IN
digestion. When once you use this grand
remedy you will throw violent cathartics,
tablets. salts, etc, away,

scheme" he had struck lately
and was netting him about $500
monthly. OF course the sacks
are a great advertising medium
as there will be 10000 printed
and when the head of the house,
hold takes home a quarters
worth of beans the whole family
will rush for the paper sack to
find the latest news.
The strangers strong point
was the number of sacks that
would be printed mot the num-
Der that would be read. A little
figuring on the same amount of
money spent in the local paper,
(which, by the way, is admitted
by all leading advertisers to be
the best known medium) would
show a result like this.
Space in The Advance, with a
circulation of 1900, may be had
for 10 cents per inch. The sack
space would cost Is cents per
week in The Advance, and $3.50
would carry the same space SO
issues. In the SO weeks there
would be $4,000 papers circu-
lated, to say nothing of those who
borrow the paper. Thus it viii
be seen that through the home
paper almost three times the cir
culation could be had for the
money. But the sack space had
a fascination to it similar to the
mail order proposition.
This incident called to mind a
circumstance of but a short time
ago. The Advance was asked by
a business man to print (gratu-
itously of course) a long poem
telling the fallacies of mail order
buying. A few days following
this we were asked by said bust
ness man to make "a price, on
some printed work which we did
and the matter was taken under
consideration. In due time we
asked about the work and were
informed that it had been let to a
concern in another state whose
price was just FIVE per cent
below ours. OF course we
thought something, but said
nothing. The mail order poem
was plainly before US.
1t is needless to say the out OF
state concern spends nothing in
Higginsville and gives employ
ment to no one here. The
Advances income is spent in
Higginsville and at present
gives employment to nine PEG.
pie, all Of whom spend their
earnings within the business
circles of Higginsville.
These facts are mentioned on
ly to show the inconsistency that
prevails, and is not done in a
spirit of criticism or fault find
ing, as The Advance enjoys a
liberal patronage, which per-
haps does not come from as
many different firms as it might,
for all should join in the work
and assist in pulling trade from
a distance. But, alike all towns,
Higginsville has it's barnacles
who are content to let the other
fellow do the hustling and take
what comes their way. But GO
ing back to the first part of our
story, we believe the business
men of Higginsville should unite
themselves for protection against
the many CRAFTS that are worked
by strangers under the mask of
advertising" In many towns
merchants have taken such ac-

COST STILL GOING UP.

Although the railroads earning about $780,
900 for each Of the days iii the year" MIR Brown
said with much earnestness. 'the problem OF the
constantly increasing OF everything which en-
ters into construction operation is an extremely
serious While everything the railroads are
using is advancing in price there has been no cor
responding increase in the charge for transporta-
ton In the ten years between 1897 1907 fuel in
creased 80 per cent in price, ties. 76 per cent;
rails II per cent cast iron wheels, 50 per cent;
bridge timber. u per cent: car axes. Al per cent;
locomotives 80 per cent cars 70 cent, labor
about 30 per cent.
''On the price basis Of 1857 the railroads in 1897
would have spent Sl76.J00O00 less for material used
in operation and maintenance, $254 0o0O0O less for
labor, and S219 10000 less for cars, locomotives
rails, ties. etc. In the time freight rates on
s97 articles have been increased it is true but the
result in money being reduction of about II per
cent TO the profit Of the public and consequently TO
the loss of the railroads.
DO you know" Mr.. Brown asked, that railroad
transportation IS 40 per cheaper here than
anywhere else in the world. but that the wages OF
the employees 30 per higher than in any
other country where railroads are in operation?
While certain and influences have been vio-
ently attacking the credit integrity OF railway
management Of our great transportation systems

awake al night in an attempt 10 solve the problem
of increased expenses and decreased net revenues.
