King Of StomachRemedi Free to Try

1t is the opinion OF all who have used DR.. Caldwell
Syrup Pepsint that it has no equal in the cure OF all
ments pertaining to the stomach, liver and bowels. We
only have room here to print a few letters recently re-
ceived, but it is a fact that thousands have beenreceiyed.
In complaints like constipation, headache, biliousness,
drowsiness after eating, heartburn, gas on the stomach,
and similar troubles, whether in infancy or old age, Dr..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is the one reliable remedy for
you to take. Its action is so mild that it can be given to
a baby-in fact, thousands of mothers buy it for their
chpdren-and yet it is sufficiently strong so that the most
robust person will get action. People who use Syrup
Pepsin never again take salts or cathartic pills, which
often, by their violence. do much to upset the stomach,
for Syrup Pepsin is pleasant to take and does its work
permanently. Many have been able to do away entirely
with the use Of medicines after but a brief experience
with DR.. Caldwells wonderful remedy. 1t is sold in fifty

Railroad Possibilities.

William w. Whitcomb of Boston in a
letter to the Boston Herald writes con-
corning New England railroad possibilities
as follows:
1.-TWO important railroad projects are
at the present time before the people of
New England, and of Boston in particu-
lar. One is the Grand Trunk railway,
which controls the line from Montreal
via st. Adams, White River Junction
and Windsor to Bellows Falls. At Wind
sor, VT, they cross the Connecticut into
New Hampshire and back again into Yer
mont at Bellows Falls, where the Rutland
and Burlington railroad comes in from
the north to connect with the Old Ches-
hire line via Fitchburg to Boston, the
Grand Trunk line proceeding down the
river to Brattleboro and South Vernon
across the States of Massachusetts, and
Connecticut to Long Island Sound at
New London.
'The Grand Trunk railway now projects
a connecting line at Palmer, Mass, across
to Providence and Narragansett Bay for
their foreign steamship lines, and have
secured the necessary charter. This route
broadly connects the Great Western and
Northwestern country to the Pacific with
Narragansett Bay and countries abroad.
project No. 2, according to special
from Springfield, credits the Republican
with statement that the New York and
New Haven directors have decided to
complete the route from New York city
to Sherbrooke, Quebec, via Springfield,

Paris Acclaims Roosevelt

Ex-President Roosevelt and family are
now in France. Their reception in Paris
by officials of the republic and the people
has been marked by a magnitude and en-
thusiasm quite equaling that accorded
reigning monarchs. The party were the
guests of President Fallieres, who later
returned the call at the American en-
bassy. They also attended state dinner
given in their honor by the president and
exchanged fluctuations. At the theater,
Colonel Roosevelt was accorded an ova-
ton and the actors recognized him as they
do royalty by bowling low from the
stage. They visited the points Of historic
interest near the French capital. Satur-
day, Colonel Roosevelt performed the
chief duty that brought him to, Paris, de-
livering an address on Citizenship in the
Republic. at the Sorbonne before an i'm
posing array of French savants. A de-
gree was conferred on him by the French
College of Immortals.
