The kImono Cape.

The kimono cape is to be noticed
among the latest fashions, and a most
attractive fashion It is, giving the
daintiest of finish to the one-piece
gown of linen or pongee. These two
materials are for the moment the
most desirable, but Just as In the
other model this can serve for next
winter in cloth or velvet or In velvet
with fur. It is smart, II is novel, and
most becoming, and surely there is
nothing more that could be desired

there is no family of any size that
goes very long without needing lax
alive. If you don't know OF a good
laxative, or the laxative you are using
is losing its effect, we want to call
your attention to Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of families
are using successfully.
We have scores of letters from moth
ers, and scores from prominent men
saying they are using 1t personally and
giving it to their families. men like Mr..

House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mr.. George
B. Turner, lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The
thousands OF mothers who use 1t them
selves and give it to their children
would take too much space to mention.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin
is mat II is mild. gentle laNative-
tonic that does not gripe-effective and
yet so mild that babies can take it. Its
tonic ingredients invigorate the body
and strengthen the stomach and bow
