OVER THE FENCE
Neiehbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and so
weak / could scarcely walk.
"One day was chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me-.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit it and give
Postum a trial. ] did not take her
advice right away but tried a change
of climate, which did not do me any
good. Then 1 dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
MY improvement began immediate
ly and got better every day used
Postum.
My bowels became regular in two
weeks, all my pains were gone. Now
am well and strong and can eat any
thing / want to without distress. AL
of this is due to my having quit cof
fee, and to the use of Postum regu
larly.
MY son who was troubled with indi
gestion thought that if Postum helped
me so, it might help him. 1t did, too
and he is now well and strong again

Same ThInu?

Mosie was a typhoid convalescent.
He had been in the hospital seven
weeks, but in all that time no one
had succeeded in winning even the
faintest smile from the little fellow.
Perhaps the sorrows of Russia were
still too vivid a memory.
And then one day the nurse tickled
him playfully under the chin. He
looked up with pitiful little smile.
"Oh, so you are ticklish,'' said the
nurse, laughing.
NO, ma am he replied. the smile
instantly vanishing, I'm Yiddish.''-

AN INDIGESTION
REMEDY FREE

Many people who atA = otherwise
healthy suffer from Indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you-con3ider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, 1t would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very seri-
Ously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things
they like; food sours in the stomach,
then chronic constipation begins, or,
as is often the case, you have been
constipated all along, and the stools
are forced and irregular.
But there is no use letting Indigestion
go until II becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t is good advice TO
suggest to you that you go to your drug
gist and get a bottle of DR.. Caldwelrs

and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach. and that is what is espe-
cially needed in indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have

the doctor. 1t will be sent direct to your
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat
the very remedy they needed to cure in
digestion. When once you use this grand
remedy you will throw violent cathartics,

Kansas investors, mostly farmers,
have appealed to State Auditor James
Nation to help them in their unequal
fight with eastern bond houses for
the purchase of Kansas securities.
They have $175, 100000 of idle money
in the banks and they want to put it
TO work. Kansas bonds are looked
upon by them as the safest paper they
can buy. But whenever they make a
bid for an issue of bonds they find
that some eastern bond house has had
contract for months for those bonds.
The same agents of eastern houses
who are so eager to gobble up Kansas
securities are willing at any time to
sell the Kansas farmers eastern secur-
tiles. The activity OF these agents In
wanting to buy Kansas securities, and
at the same time wanting to sell east
ern paper, has strengthened the be-
lief OF the Kansas people that their
own securities are the best on earth.
Auditor Nation base come to the res
cue Of home purchasers by issuing an
order that after this he will register
no new bond issues unless they are
accompanied by a certificate that the
bonds have been offered for sale to
the state school fund commission.
There is a law OF that kind on the
statutes.
