ELECTRICITY TO DISPEL FOG
London to Try to Get Rid of Its Light
DESTROYER.

Electrical discharges to rid the Brit
ish isles of fogs is the proposition of
Sir Oliver Lodge, a scientist whose
name commands respect for any plan
in natures domain he might express
willingness to father, says a London
cable dispatch. The Westminster coun-
ell has provided ground near the Gros-
venor canal where experiments are
to be made under public auspices at a
cost of $4,000.
The. plan involves the discharge of
electricity at light voltage from a
series OF disks placed on the tops of
insulated poles. Precipitation of mois-
ture follows, and the fog laden at
mosphere is cleared.
The idea is said to have been sug7
gested by noting improvement in Lon
don atmospheric conditions since the
modern introduction and growth of
electrical industry.

Cures Dyspepsia;
] Trial Is Free

< 1t is a popular mistake that only
wealthy people who's eat. rich and
highly-spiced foods suffer from dys-
pepsia, or, as it is also known, indi-
gestion. The laborer. in the street,
the worker in the field also. finds him
self a victim of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by constant
feeling of lazineSS, by loss of appetite and
troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis
tress after eating, by bad complexion and
lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
successfully for twenty years.. This great
herb laxative compound cured Capt. Clark,
of Buffalo, Ia, of dyspepsia and sour
stomach that he had had for forty years,
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup -Pepsin. 1t cured
Joel Adams, of Montgomery Ala. after
suffering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only a few of the many. But
grand remedy, as it can be bought at any
drug store in 50-cent or 81 bottle.
Your very 'neighbors are probably life
long users of DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin,
but If you want to know without expense
what it will do for you personally, send
your name to DR. Caldwell and he will be
glad to send you free trial bottle. He
is actually anxious to have you make
test of his remedy. -
Thousands of families everywhere keep
gency as constipation, sour stomach, in
digestion, biliousnesS, dyspepsia, heart
burn. torpid liver. etc., which may come
on member OF the family any day. It
does not grippe. It is the great children's
laxative tonic. ~.

having practically coa--eted his study
of the monkey language.
The latest triumph of his novel pur-
suit is the preparation by him of
lexicon of the monkey language By
means of this lexicon it is calculated
that any apt student of languages may
readily acquire knowledge of the Ian

From his youth Professor Garner
was devoted to animals and in child
hood was wont to initiate birds in their
+ forest songs. He gained the idea early
N life that all animals have a Ian
guage as complete, so far as its pur-
poses are concerned, as any of the Ian
guages used by human beings.

Remember.

And do your Xmas shopping
early. Because, you get first choice
when you do. Because you save
time and worry. Because it is a
pleasure for the clerks to then wait
on and assist you. Because when
you 90 late, the clerks are physical
ly worn out and naturally they can
not be themselves nor be to you
what they would like Therefore
90 early and trade with those who
advertise in the Democrat, because
they want your patronage and will
treat you on the square, making
your shopping a pleasure instead Of
a worry.
