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 tress after eating. by bad complexion and luSterlesS eyes
 There is no surer and speeder cure for this trouble than Dr. Caldwelfs 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. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It cured suffering continuously for sixteen months. These are only a few of the many. But 1t is not expensive to be cured with this grand remedy. as it can be bought al any drug store in a 50-cent or s1 bottle.
 Your very neighbors are probably life long users of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. but If you want to know without expense what 1t will do for you personally, send your name to Dr. Caldwell and he will he glad to send you a free trial bottle. He is actually anxious to have you make a test of his remedy

To abolish the annual prize for historical

statements made In the prize essay to
which particular exceptions are taken
By the Daughters, such as, "lntellecIn'

Hmost OF of the people were denSely
Ignorant" "Roberl E. Lee vas traitor

the very purpose for which the prize
was Siyen-.hst Is, q truthful reference
nankr. Mrs. Robinson maintains that
the per capita tax of the Organization
should not be used to encourage the
Ratification of history. The prize essay
on G General Lee, to which exceptions are
taken. has crtaed moro of furote
among the Daughters than any incident
which has taken place in the organize
ton In recent years. This, however, Is
mainly due to to the fact that such
monument educators IS DR.. Edwin A.
Alderman, president of the University
of Virginia. and DR.. O. AlPhonso Smith,
professor Of EOglsh at the University OF
North Carolina, were two out OF three
members of the committee making the
award. The other member Of the COM
mittse was DR.. Finney, Of the College

aud DR.. Smith have made responses to
the criticism of the Daughters, both tax
log the ground that the prize was Award
ed to the paper which was best from
literary standpoint, thOughtfulnesS and
general literary worth. The Daughters
however very properly maintain that
literary worth should not have been
placed above the truth of history, and
that the essay as a whole is contra
diction of almost all that is true of the
South and her people.
