Cures Dyspepsia;
Trial Is Free

1t is a popular mistake that only
wealthy people who 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 a constant
feeling of lazlness, by loss OF appetite and
troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis
itress after eating, by bad complexion and
lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and s%peedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, which ~dyspeptics nave been using
successfully for twenty years. This great
herb axative compound cured Capt. Clark.
OF Buffalo, Ia, 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. II cured
Joel Adams, Of Montgomery, Ala. after
su1ering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only a few Of the many. But
II Is not expensive to be cured with this
grand remedy, as 1t can be bought at any
drug store In a 50-cent or 81 bottle.
You very peighb9Ts are probably life
but II you want to know without expense
what II will do for you personally, send
your name to DR.. Caldwell and he win be
glad to send you a free trial bottle. He
Is actually anxious to have you make a
test OF his remedy.
Thousands Of families everywhere keen

gency as constipation, sour stomach, m
digestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heart
burn, torpid liver, ETC., which may come

people and armies of the South
We, deeming it certain death to
fall into the hands of jim Lane,
were in a quandary for a while
but we concluded to risk the len
iency of Gen. Fremont, hoping
that he would spare our lives and
perhaps not throw us into prison.
So we turned due East without
road or guide, for the country
was all unfenced at that time, an
Travelled as fast as we could. We
took dinner with a farmer at the
only house that we saw after turn
ing east, who told us that he I'M
derstood that Fremont was then
on the road from Warsaw tOBOl-
'ivar which was only a mile or so
east of his house. We travelled
then due east and came into the
Warsaw and Bolivar road in the
timber. There was no one in sight
and we could see that several
thousand men had already passed
south on the road. After a short
consultation with each other we
concluded to try the trick of pass
ing ourselves off as "A part Of
their men going back. We knew
it could be easily done in Prices
army. Therefore we started North
along the road determined if any
one halted or arrested us we
would ask to be taken directly
to Gen. Fremont. But fortune ia
vored us in a peculiar way. The
doctor and the negro boy sat on
the front seat of the ambulance
while | too weak to sit up long
at a time was on the floor. The
first soldiers that we met were
simply stragglers, They gave us
the road and we bowed and pass
ed on. We met afterwards during
the afternoon several regiments
of infantry and batteries of ar
tillery. In each case we gave
them the road, bowed and passed
on without being halted or mo-
Tested in any way. The country
was sparsely settled, seldom a
fence or farm was seen so that
we had no trouble in passing the
soldiers who were going in the
opposite direction; but later in
the day we came to a narrow
lane about one hundred yards
long in which a train of wagons
had stopped and the train exten-
ded out in the prairie nearly a
quarter of a mile. We were on
the west side of the train and
could not go through the lane
without getting through the train
to the east side. We could not
get through unless a driver woulC
turn his mules a little; and all
the drivers had left their teams
and were in a group on the OPP
posite side of the road about
twenty yards from us eating
lunch in the shade of a tree. My
brother not wishing to attract at.
tention by shouting to them left
the negro boy on the seat of oul
vehicle and went to where the
drivers we're to get one to move
his team. He had no sooner gone
than the wagon master of the
train rode up and asked the ne.

l about a quarter of a mile as fast
, as we could when the road rar
into the timber and we drew III
and drove slowly again, meeting
stragglerS, regiments and compan
les until nearly sun down. But
no one asked us a question. Then
seeing a comfortable house on the
road side we asked permission to
stay all night which was readily
granted. We had scarcely got set
tied in the house when a train of
several wagons drove mto the
stable lot and went into camp and
a nicely dressed gentleman in
citizens clothes came to the door
and asked permission to stay in
the house all night. The proprie-
tor told him that he had given
us the only room that he had but
my brother having noticed that
there were two beds in the room
said, "Come right in, there are
two beds here and plenty room
for all three of us" The man was
a Sutler following the army with
goods to sell and l think his name
was Tatur. The next morning he
asked if he could go with us to
Sedalia, offering to pay well for
the accommodation. But we told
him we would be glad of his com
pany without remuneration; and
although Sedalia was not direct
ly in our course, we would 60 by
there for the pleasure of his com
pany. As soon as we were started
on the road we told him that we
were MEMBERS Of Gen. Prices
army and he remarked that he
had suspected that for some time
and he perferred to ride with
Southern men through Missouri
at that time on account of the
bushwhackers. He used his papers
to pass us across the river and
out of the lines of Fremont's ar
my at Warsaw and we drove a
mile or two on the Sedalia road
and stopped at a neat looking
farm house for dinner. While at
the table my brother found that
he and the lady of the house had
lived in the same county in Ken
lucky and that he was acquaint-
ed with many of her friends and
relatives all of whom were South
ern symphathizers. He asked her
if she was "UniOn or Secesh," q
common question in those days.
and she answered that she was
Union. He told her that Mr.. Ia
tur the sutler belonged to Ere
mont army, but that he and ]
belonged to Prices army. The
woman was angry and frightened
and told my brother that she did
not believe him and that he was
only setting a trap to catch her
and that she knew we were from
Fremont S army because we came
right from Warsaw where his ar
my was; and he could get no fur
ther conversation out of her. We
were satisfied that she was a
Southern sympatherizer and sus-
pected that we were spying on
: her. If l knew the lady's name
and she we're living now l would
send her a copy of this story that
: she might know hat what we
, told her at that time was true.
We left her house about four o.

ed all night reaching Sedalia be-

A Personal Recollection of War
Times.


By T.. c smith.
In 1861 the Southern force il
Missouri was known as Gen
Prices army, it was the Missouri
State Guard, legally organized by
legislative enactment and consis.
ted of one brigade from each con
gressional district. Gen. Rains
commanded nearly half of the ar
my because he had the district in
Southwest Missouri which had all
ready been at war with the Kan
Sas Freesoilers for several years,
and where the men were safer
in the army than at home All
looked upon Jim Lane of Kansas
as a deadly personal as well as
public enemy. The Missouri State
Guard was nothing more than a
well organized mob, which did
good and effective service as an
army; but the men could come
and go as they pleased and there
was no semblance of discipline.
Many MissourianS known as bush
whackers wandered at their own
will doing as they pleased and
joining the army whenever they
thought it expedient to do so for
safety from the enemy. In Sep
TENDER, 1861, when Col. Mulligan
surrendered to Gen. Price l lived
on a farm about six miles South
of Lexington and was a private
in Bledsoe's Battery. About thirty
days after Gen. Mulligan's sur.
render Gen. Price moved his ar.
my to Mcdonald county in the
Southwest corner of the State. ]
started with the battery but wa,
taken sick with dysentery which
resulted in a case of typhoid fe.
yer. When we reached DadC
county | was too weak to walk
and was left near Greenfield al
the home of Col. Coffee who com.
manded a regiment in Gen
Rains brigade. My brother, DR.
Robert B. Smith, was the surgeon
of Col. Coffee's regiment and il
was through him that | was left
in such comfortable quarters. My
brother also left his body servant
a negro boy about my age, as a
nurse for me; and well he did his
work, for without him | am Ger.
tain that | would have died il
less than two days. His loyalty
and attention was characteristic
of the attachment of the negro
for his master at that time. He
did all that anybody could have
done for me, and / believe would
have risked his life to save me
from the enemy. This was in the
latter part of October or first OF
November, 1861. Gen. Fremont
was moving on Price from Soda
liza with an army of thirty or for.
ty thousand men and a large a
mount of field artillery. He was
crossing the Usage at Warsaw
Gen. Jim Lane was also moving
Southwark with his forces and
we we're informed, was crossing
the Usage at or near Papinville.
When | had been at Col. COT
fees house about ten days my
brother returned from the army
and took me on South, but after
seeing me said l could not live
through the winter unless | coulC
get to better quarters and hc
would take me home. The fever
had left me, but / could walk on
ly a few steps at a time. ThC
next morning we started home ex
pecting TO go between the armies
of Fremont and Lane and eros,

the first night with a farmer neal
Bolivar. He also had heard Of the
movements of the Union army al
stated above. So we started The
next morning for Osceola. Wher
we were about twenty or thirty
miles South of 0sceola we met

NO MORE SEIZURES
OF BLEACHEO FLOUR
PENDING TEST CASE
Millers Continue to Bleach
Product Till Wilson Ruling
Secures Approval.

Des .io:nes, Ia. Oct The Miliina
and Grain News is authority for tho
| statement that there will be no more
seizures OF bleached flour IN this state
or other states till there has been Il
ltcst in the courts OF the ruling made
by Secretary james Wilson. The great
or number of the seizures have been
made in Iowa flour taken at the girls
industrial school at Mitchellville. ut the
army post in I)es Moines. and & num-
/ Der of other places.

ter in the courts to determine whether
or no, bleaching flour is against the
provisions of the national pure food
law state food commissioners will not
make amy ruling on the matter till the

ion
There are a number Of processes by
which flour is made white or blcachcd.
Taking Oxygen out of the -four is what
bleachcs it, This is done By different
processes. ono is to internationally dis
charge an electric fame near the -four.
There are chemical processes also and
all of them are technical and conpli
Gated.
Ii is claimed by millcrs chat he
bleaching proco IS does not add Or de-
tlact from the food value of the -four.
1t is claimed that tests made show that
in the majority of cases the bleached
flour makes a slightly larger loaf. This
difference is so slight. however. that
| it cannot be detected outside of a
Laboratory. The great claim OF the
milling concerns is that they mast have
their flour of uniform color SO that 1t
will maxi bread of uniform color and
they cannot do this unless they bleach
the -four Northern spring wheat and
soft winter wheat make the whitcst
unbeached flour, Red Turkey or Kan
