1t will be welcome news to dyspep-
tics to learn of remedy that, in the
opinion of thousands, is an absolute
cure for indigestion and all forms of
stomach trouble, and, better still, it
is guaranteed to do so. The remedy
is DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
We all know the value of pure pep
sin in indigestion, and add to this
some exceptional laxative ingredients
and you have truly wonderful REM
edy. Mr.. T. w. Worthy of For
sythe, Ga, got to the point where
he could not even eat or digest veg
etables and after many years of seek
ing he found the cure in DIR. Caid-
wells Syrup Pepsin. Mr.. Rudy Kas-
ner of Moline. Ill, was in the same
bad predicament with his stomach,
took Syrup PeDsin and is now cured.

that the decrease of 1929 in the to-

donna County Ponds Protected.
The legislature tackled some of
the big bills and settled their fate
last week. After a warm debate
the House killed the bill giving
women the right to vote on the
question of granting liquor licenses
in their town.
The Senate has passed the big
highway appropriation bill of $3.50,
600 for good roads. The Senate al
so passed in concurrence, the bill al
lowing a mans taxes to be doubled
in certain cases and also the bill
preventing the pollution of the wa
ter of Joe's Pond in Danville and
Coles Pond in Walden by the plac-
ing of sawdust in it's tributaries.
Senator Butterfield of Orleans
made up for the slap that the House
tried to administer Friday to Fish
and Game Commissioner 1ltcomb by
a bill providing clerk hire and Office
help for the commissioner and also
providing the commissioner with
means to attend conventions outside
the state.
House Passed Primary Law.

of candidacy feature was stricken out
the primary election bill introduced

has been passed by the House by a
vote of 107 to 65.
There seems probability that
compromise may be affected
between Gov. Mead and Ex-Lieut. Gov
Stearns on the normal school fight.
To this end an amendment has been
reported to the house committee of
state schools and the committee on
appropriations. IniS amendment
would save the normal school at
Johnson and make it better than
ever, and provides that the state
shall lease the buildings at Johnson
for term of SO years and erect a
dormitory suitable to house the stu
dents. The normal school to be
maintained there is to be on par
with any school which the state may
maintain.
