Cures Dyspepsia;
 Trial Is Free

It is a popular mistake that only wealthy people who eat rich and highly-spiced foods suffer from dys pepsia, or, as 1t is also known, indi- gestion The laborer in the street, the worker in the field also finds him. self victim of this disorder. Among the very greatest sufferers from 1t are women.
 Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant feeling of laziness, by loss of appetite and troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis tress after eating, by bad complexion and lust terleSS eyes.
 There is no surer and speedier cure for this trouble than Dr. Caldwells syrup successfully for twenty years. This great herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark, of Buffalo. la, of dyspepsia and sour stomach that he had had for forty years. or until the lucky day that he heard of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsln It cured Joel Adams, of Montgomery, Ala, after suffering continuously for sixteen months. These are only q few of the many. But 1t is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy, as it can be bought at any drug store in a 50-cent or $1 bottle.
 Your very neighbOrs are probably life long users of Dr. CaldWeHs Syrup Bepsin, but if you want to know without expense what 1t will do for you personally, send your name to Dr Caldwell and he will be glad to send you a free trial bottle. He is actually anxious to have you make test of his remedy.
 Thousands of families everywhere keep it Tn the house against such an eaaeF- gency as constipation. sour stomach In- digestion bIiousaess. dyspepsia. heart burn, torpid liver etc. which may come on a member of che family any day.

TEMPERANCE ACTOR
CRAZED BY LIQUOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-After
years of total abstinence, Charles
Warner, noted English actor in
Zola's Drink thrilling temper
ance drama. fell under the lure of
liquor, and strangled himself to
death.
For the past two months he had
been drinking heavily and his
friends say his indulgence in
liquor unbalanced his mind.
During his production of Drink, y
Warner, who was at that time a
teetOtaler, said that in the charac-
ter of "Coupeau." he could under
stand the terrible fascination which
liquor must have for the poor un.
fortunates who are its slaves.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-02-17

In the struggle bill" Vinson,
head of the outlaws, and Law
renee county officer both met
death. Several others on both sides
were wounded before the beseiged
raised the white flag. The young
sters never wavered.
The Vinson chase is not the only
one to Clarence's credit. He has
accompanied his father on three
other raids. He has never shown
the white feather. He has natural
instinct for finding hidden trial,
for discerning the danger signals
of the enemies presence. Raised
in the mountains. he is untiring,
or at least he never complains of
fatigue.
They say that moonshining will
go on in this state as long as the
government maintains the tax on
whisky. and they have the right,
the mountaineers say. to do what
ever they please with the grain
they grow. II one man makes flour
of his corn, why should not another
make whisky of his?
So. In West Virginia they are
raising children to be men who will
defy Uncle Sans whisky tax. and
also they are raising children to be
the human bloodhounds who will
battle with the others in the years
to come.
