 The community has sustained a great loss in the death of this man. His life stands as an ex- a mp e to all wEo would obey the injunction: Whatsoever ye wo uld that men should do urto you, do ye even unto them."
 During his last illness he ex- pressed himself as being ready and willing to go. and his great est desire seemed to be to meet his wife who had preceded him a few months before. He was confined to his bed nine weeks but died rejoicing in a Christian Faith.

There is a great difference in the purposes to which a laxative should be put Tablets and pills, salts, etc, are usually violent purgatives or cathartics, and altogether too power ful for the average person.
 A 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 gentle laxative will do it, what is the use of violent one?
 Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin has earned . well-deserved vogue among women and children and old folks-people who must necessarily be careful of what they take.
 It is liquid laxative tonic and ad- bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only 50 cents or $1 bottle. as 1t comes in both sizes. and al! drug gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom- ach sick headache, heartburn and such like digestive complaints. Its use for a short time will remove the trouble en- tirely so that future medica tion 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 or families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado. Va. Mrs. K. L. Stout, of Louisville. Ky. Williams. Cal. as Mrs. J: E. Blackmore. of that place, writes, the whole town seems to be using it.
 If the remedy is new to you and you send your name to the doctors address as below and free test bottle will be sent you. Then, if results are satisfactory you can buy it of your druggist.

NEW YORK SUMMER FASHIONS
Low ecked Frocks for Hot Weather,
Graduation Gowns, Etc.

Many of the very newest and prettiest
of the thin dresses intended for hot
weather wear and made collarless and
cut slightly round or square at the neck
and completed simply by an insertion
and with tiny frill of Valenciennes or
Cluny or perhaps by round Dutch col
lar. This fashion is GOODNESS and COM
fort personifed, and if a woman pos
sesses a plump and pretty neck it is dis
tractly becoming, but, on the other hand,
the maiden whose neck is thick and bony
should avoid this mode like the plague,
as she will find it most disfguring.
DAINTY GRADUATING FRocKs.
Graduating costumes are now begin
ming to receive attention, and very
charming are some of the models seen
in the shops and at the fashionable
dressmakers. All sorts of sheer ma
terials are used for the purpose, trimmed
with laces and embroideries galore. The
smartest models are made in the prin-
cess and semi-princess styles. A simple
and easily made yet very lovely frock OF
this sort is of white batiste, lawn or
India linen with front panel of the
material running from the hem to the
lace yoke and bordered by bands of
lace insertion. Sometimes this panel
is plain, at others it is pin-tucked from
top to bottom or set off by lace medal
lions or crossed strips of insertion. A
sash of white ribbon starts under flat
rosette at each side of this panel and is
knotted gracefully in the back.
NEW IDEAS IN SLEEVES.
Some of the hot weather frocks are
made with short sleeves but by far the
largest number have sleeves coming
down to the wrists. The very latest
feature in sleeves is the breaking out
into small puffs at the elbow and wrists
In some models where the sleeve is
three-quarter length it is extended bysAI
small under-puffing OF sheer material,
this putting being in the familiar bishop
effect completed by tight band at the
wrist. Evening gowns are made with
very short sleeves or almost no sleeves
at all, though few models have tight
fitting transparent sleeves of net.
SILK AND LACE COATS.
s Silk coats form the very smartest pos
sible sort of separate wrap this season.
MORE, faille and Ottoman silks are used
for the most elegant varieties, while the
cheaper coats are of taffeta. Black lace

FOLK TAXES THE STUMP AGAINST

graft in Eastern cities that a very

four months campaign against its
sway in municipalities. He is an
nounced to speak in Pittsburg, Bos-
ton, New Orleans, st. Paul, Chicago
and San Francisco. From the same
platform with President Roosevelt
and Governor Wilson of Kentucky.
Governor Folk will speak at the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, near
HoganSville, La Rue county, Ky, at
the centennial celebration of Lin
coins birthday, on the 18th inst.
The time for his crusade has not vet
been arranged, but aside from the
above cities, there will doubtless be
many others, as invitations are being
received by him daily, and it seems
the people are simply astounded at
the prevalence of corruption in high
places.

\ SALT t\RM pnr of the. >j,an"
est farms in the world is situated in
Southern California, 295 feet below
the level of the sea. The place is
known as Salton 1t is a salt farm of
about 1909 acres. Here the salt lies.
as deposited by nature, from six to
sixteen inches in depth. The salt
farmers are busy harvesting this crop
the year round and though the har-
vest has continued for over twenty
years, during which time more than
10, 900 tons of salt have been harvest
ed, only ten of the 1000 acres of the
farm have been worked. The salt is
first plowed up into burrows; it is
then thrown into cOnical piles by
men with barrows, after which it is
taken to the reduction works near by,
and put into marketable condition.
The work is done by MexicanS and
Chinese, the intense heat being more
than Americans can endure.
