The Stomach and How
To Cure Its Ills, Free

More thought is being given to the
stomach to-day than to any other or
gan. Dieting and hundred other
things are suggested. but the fact re-
mains that we have to cat and that IN
the main we are eating the same food
to-day that has been eaten for hun
dreds of years. The point. then, IS TO
find way of remedyinS an evil when
We find 1t.
There comes a time in the lives or
all of us when laHitive Is necessary,
only with some this requirement oc-
ours more frequently than with others.
But whether the occasion is frequent
or rare 1t is important that you take u
simple. natural remedy The farther
you get away from the man made tab
let or pill and the salty purgative
water the better. You want something
that combines the virtues OF q laNa-
tive and tonic, something that is sure
in its effect and yet pleasant to the
taste, remedy containing earth
grown vegetables and plants: Such
is DR.. Caldwcll's Syrup Pepsin, now

Poindexter Hard Hit.

"The worst enemy of true progress is
the demagogue or the visionary who, in
the name Of progress, leads the people to
make some blunder which will result in
reaction" said Colonel Roosevelt in his
Denver speech. Which is precisely what
the Republic has been endeavoring to
point out for several weeks. Roosevelt
has no time for the Poindexters in poll
tics. He scorns the sort OF man who
breaches "dry" doctrine in "dry''
locality, and wet" doctrine in "wet''
locality, high protection for the indus
tries OF his state, and free trade for in
