] axafive for
Women Free

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, ETC.,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
ful for the average person.
woman at all times needs only
mild laXative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
they may be, for the object is simply to
move the bowels, and if a gentle laxative
will do it, what is the use Of a violent
one?
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin has earned
a WeII-deserved vogue among women and
children and old fOlks-people who must
necessarily be careful of what thew take
1t is liquid laxative tonic and ad-
mlttedly the greatest stomach liver and
bowel remedy before the American peopIe.
The price is only so cents or 81 a bottle
as 1t comes IN both sizes, and all drug
g1sts sell 1t. Its pleasant taste and gentle
action make 1t an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. It's use for a
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely SO that future medication will be
unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this
is so is the experience Of many heads of
families, like Mrs. Brannan, of AIvarado
Va, Mrs. K. L. Stout, Of Louisville, KY,
and numerous others; in fact, way out in
Williams, Cal, as Mrs. J. E. BIackmore,

maidens of 20 are not won by argu-

Which is a novel in a nutshell.
Ever since early August 1t had been
a forcGOne conclusion in all the region
that Rose Hartwick was to marry Karl
KeiChlinc. the postmaster of Sugar
Valley. The old squire was growing
old; the burdens of his great estate
were beginning to weigh upon him: he
needed a soninlaw who had force and
judgment and tact to help him in his
work. and TO succeed him when he was
gone. That he had chosen Keichline
for this place was no secret at all: he
even talked of il openly; and 1t was
the impression in both valleys that the
affair was as good as settled. AS to
what Rose might think very little was
said. She might protest at first-such
girls usually did-but in the end she
would yield to her fathers will. In a
hundred years there was no tradition in

old-Fashioned Nishtshirt.


No gentleman will wear anything but
pajamas.-Men's Fashions.
At the close Of the civil war the prac-
tice of wearing pajamas had not be-
come general. II was only with the rise
OF Newport that this unhappy custom
originated.
1t Is pity.
There was a freedom about the old
fashioned nightshirt, with it's flowing
tails, that somehow or other seemed to
add to n mans moral stature. 1t is
true that this garment was never beau
tiful. But, then, it was never intended
to be. Men do not pace the street at
night clad only in nightshirts, unless
they have been rudely awakened by the
cry of fire.
Every man should, when by himself
have the privilege of making himself as
unlovely and comfortable as possible
Pajamas do not accomplish this. They
construct the waist line, and when in
bed give one the embarrassing feeling
of being dressed for the evening.
The old fashioned nightshirt had the
grand quality of reducing every man to
the same level as his fellow creatures
A bishop. accoutered in one, was no
better looking than priZetighter.
And is there any man who has been
through the experience Of standing in
one OF these garments before the fur
mace fire, shoveling in coal in the dead
OF night, who does not recall with al
most binding tears the heights OF NOR
al sublimity he has reached upon those
occasions?

How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
1t is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The edrug-caffeine-in coffee and tea
is very like uric acid and is often the
cause Of rheumatic attacks which, when
coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said recently:
II am sixty-five and have had a good
deal Of experience with coffee. l con-
slider 1t very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. am sure it causes
decay Of teeth in children.
"When l drank coffee 1 had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
a year ago l had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous
could not sleep and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that medicines
did me no good, decided to quit cof-
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months l fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations, can
sleep sound and my rheumatism is all

MISSOURI CASE
DOES NOT BEAR
ON SOUTH DAKOTA
Attorney General Clarke Points
Out Local Features of ALI
Rate Cases.

Redfeld, s. D., March 13.-"The de-
clsion by Judge Smith Mcpherson in
the Missouri 2-cent fare case neither
decides the suits brought against 2
cent fare laws in other states of tho
middle west nor creates a precedent
for Them declared Attorney General
s. w. Clarke, Of South Dakota, when
asked for a statement concerning tho
decision against Missouris reduced pas
senger rate.
THE 2-cent fare case is truly a local
issue" he went on Just as condi-
tions are alike in no two states, no
two cases involving the constitutional
ity of the 2-cent fare are alike.
1T is easily possible that a 2-cent
rate would not be sufficiently remuner
Rtive i'm Missouri. but would be in South
Dakota. The mere fact that Missouri
has five or six times the population
of South Dakota is not material. 1t Il
quite possible that, in proportion TO the
population, there is larger railroad
| mileage in Missouri than in South Da
kota. Again, il may be that a larger
amount OF travelling is done by SOutE
Dakota people. Again, it is probably
true that in Missouri. where there are
more railroads and therefore there is
more competition, IL is necessary to run
may be that, because of competition,
trains are run more frequently in Mis-
souri, than in South Dakota, in respect
to the patronage meaning larger pas
senger train loads in this state, and,
therefore, a lower proportion of operat-
ing expenses. All these elements enter
into the question and 50 II is that each
state must have its own case adjudi-
Gated before IL can know what rate its
people are entitled to have.
"One of the questions that arises in
the consideration of the constitutional
ity of a 2-cent fare is the allowance to
be made for interstate business. One
theory Is that a passenger ticket from
Sioux City to Aberdeen should not be
taken into consideration, because the
trip is begun six miles outside of the
state. 1t is the claim of the state, of
course, that the South Dakota proper
tion of Interstate business should be
included in the railroad income. 1t is
not clear to me from Judge MCPhcr-
sons opinion, or the newspaper reports
of 1t, just how he disposed of this Ques-
tion. The courts have held both ways
on ii.
we are not a bit discouraged i'm our
case by the Mcpherson opinion, but we
Will press the states right to a 2-cent
fare just as vigorously as ever before
Judge Garland. No new principle has
been laid down by Judge Mcpherson
and II he had found the rate valid, il
would have had no significance in South
Dakota"

ELECTRIC MACHINE
SAVES MUCH TIME
The Electric Motor Made to do Gen.
eral Work Around the House.

The electric motor has now appeared
in the role OF general assistant around
the household, and in this capacity II
can be made to do numberless tasks
which will relieve the housekeeper to
the extent of saving her time, allow
ing her with the machines help to give
her attention TO several things at the
same time. For instance, instead OF
devoting herself for some time in turn
ing and feeding the meat chopper, she
has but to roll the motor up to the
chopper and make the necessary con-
aection between them, and then turn
on the current. In this manner, the
operation can go on with only occa-
sional attention from the housekeeper
or servant, who may in the meantime
devote herself 10 other work.
There is much work of this charaC
ter which may be done by the motor,
such as operating washing machines,
gas mangles, clothes wringers, coffee
mills, grating machines, sewing ma
chimes, grinding machines, polishing
heads and ice cream freezers.
The household motto is mounted on
a stoollike platform, the height OF
which may be readily adjusted to suit
the character OF work being performed.
1t is Of one eighth horsepower, is cas-
lily moved around, and the mechanism
is entirely lnclosed, so that there Is no
danger of shock or injury from 1t.

WHAT WIFE SAYS "aoEs,n
But II Sometimes In Bad for The
Painting.

But II Sometimes In bad for the
Painting.
When property-owner knows moth
ing about paint It is bad for the prop
erty-owner, and bad for the painter. It
would not be so If the property-owner
would always hire a skilled painter
and then really leave everything to
him. But the houseowner so often
fools himself on one or the other Of
these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some Of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed consci-
entious workman or contractor, and the
incompetents get Jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property.owner boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without inves-
tigating whether they are good or not.
Or perhaps they insist on the painters
hurrylng the work.
I'm not going to have this painters
mess around my house a month";" the
wife says. and what wife says goes
at the cost Of lot Of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away few days
to allow the paint to thoroughly dry
the owner says: THAT painters neg
lecting this work-guess he's side-track-
ing me for Jones work. won't stand
It."
What chance does a painter have to
do good work for a man who Is con-
tnualIy nagging at him and otherwise
handicapping him without meaning 1t,
of course)? A poor job is the inevita-
BILE result Of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money--don't forget that. 1t might
