A Narrow Escape

Miss Flossie Biggers, eldest
daughter of R. S. Biggers, a farm
er living one mile west of town,
came near being badly burned one
day last week. She was standing
near the fireplace when the back of
her clothing ignited, the blaze run
ming up her back. Her mother and
cousin, Miss Vada, who was visit
ing her, received painful burns on
their hands in the heroic fight for
the rescue, and finally succeeded in
extinguishing the flames, but not
until most of tue top clothing was
burned off the young lady Hardy

WHAT TO READ

"Tell me what a mar reads and |
will tell you what he is" said a
wise writer; for little by little the
things that we read become our
thoughts, and make the very tex
ture of the mind.
During the last few months the
attention of the American people
has been aroused to the considera-
tion of pure and impure foods.
This agitation has done good, for
with the abundance of good food
there is little excuse for using any
food which is harmful. The time
has come when the American family
must give better attention than in
the past to another matter-the
choice between good and bad read
ing. We have read enough about
wickedness in both public and pri-
vate life; to many stories of crimi-
nal transactions; too much about
the evil and not enough about the
good in life.
Let us have the bright and clear
side of our American life only.
Let us read stories of heroes who
are both brave and noble, and not
vulgar and confessed criminals.
The mission of the press is to
help the reader, not drag him down;
to suggest high, not low ideals.
At this season the average Ameri-
can family selects periodicals for the
next year. Let the choice be only
for clean, wholesome, patriotic
periodicals. Send for the Prospec-
tus of the 1910 Volume of The
Youths Companion and see what
an amount of the best reading Sc
lected from the worlds abundance
of every sort can be had for only
I.75-52 splendid issues.
Every new subscriber receives in
addition to the 50 issues for 1910,
all the issues for the remaining
weeks of 1909, and the venetian

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 victim of this disorder. Among
the very greatest sufferers from it are
women.
Dyspepsia is indicated by a constant
feeling of laziness, by loss Of appetite and
troubled sleep, by sour stomach and dis
tress after eating, by bad complexion and
lusterless eyes.
There is no surer and speedier cure for
this trouble than DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, which dyspeptics have been using
herb laxative 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. 1t cured
Joel Adams, of Montgomery, Ala, after
suffering continuously for sixteen months.
These are only few Of the many. But
| II Is not expensive to be cured with this
grand remedy, as it can be bought at any
drug store in a 50-cent or 81 bottle.
Your very neighbors are probably life
long users of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
but II you want to know without expense
what II will do for you personally, send
your name to DR.. Caldwell and he will be
glad to send you free trial bottle. He
| Is actually anxious to have you make a
test Of his remedy.
Thousands of families everywhere keep
! It in the house against such an emer-
gency as constipation, sour stomach, in
| digestion, biliousness, dyspepsia, heart
! burn, torpid liver, etc. which may come
on a member of the family any day. 1t

The Des AToines corporations are
not all sending in their reports to be
filed with the public records of the
department at Washington and for
taxation purposes. One of the heads of
large corporations stated yesterday
that the matter had been put up to an
attorney and he had advised waiting
until after the decision of the court
in the case which has been brought to
test the matter. But little faith is
placed in the plan to suppress the
public records at Washington and pre-
vent investigation of all corporation
affairs.
