Good Liver
 Remedy Free

When you suffer from any form of indigestion 1t is always well to take something for the liver. as usually the trouble lies there. If you are bilious. have a. bloaty feeling after eating, if you belch, if your skin Is yellowish you may be sure it is liver trouble.
 What you need is something to stir up the liver, to arouse the gastric juices so that they will aid in the di- gestion of your food. A very good rem edy for this, and one highly recom- mended by those who have used 1t. is pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which you can obtain of any druggist at fifty conts or one dollar bottle. But If you have any doubt about its merits, and would prefer to try it first, send your address to pr. Caldwell and he will promptly send you free sample bot tie.
 Thousands of people first learned of this remarkable cure for stomach liver and bowel troubles through a free sam pie. Mrs. Frank Lilly of Plainview. H.. sent for one and it cured her and she Is open in saying that she will never take pills or strong cathartics again. as Syrup Pepsfn acts so mildly. Mr. w. l.. Bryant. the Postmaster at Sardis. Tenn, says he will never be without 1t again. No sick person can afford to ignore remedy so highly endorsed as this. It is good for all the family from infancy to old age, because it is mild. free from griping and yet promptly ef- fectiye. Furthermore. results are ab- solutely- guaranteed or money will be refunded. f
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation- He has specialized in stomach. years and will be- pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free oS charge. All are welcome to write or the free sample address him pr. ". B. Caldwell, 5Al Caldwell. building, Monticello. Ill S-'

beautiful yerdure. The Salt Lake
News In a recent issue. made some In
teresting observations anent the
making and keeping of lawns that
are just as appllcably locally as In
the metropolis. and are worth
publishing. II says:
I'VE notice the laudable efforts of
many home owners TO make the
streets along their homes attractive
by means OF lawns aud trees In the
unpayed part OF the sidewalks. This
should be done elsewhere, not only
for the sake OF books. but for hy-
gienic reasons Vegetation Is grea

health and life. Plants give off
oxygen which supports animal life.
But for vegetation the oxygen would
continually b used up. Plants
build up living material which ami
mails use as food and then oxidlze
back 70 the fonm in which II existed
before the plant touched II, so that
vegetation has an important func-
ton In the eternal round OF life.
No matter how civilized one comes;
no matter how much he ornaments
his dwellings With tapestry. gold,
and paint: no matter how many
works OF art he possesses. there are
times when he feels a longing for
communion with nature He wants

out" The craving Is then for nature

OF Improvement 1t means so much
both from an aesthetic aud hygenic
point OF view
but We notice also the lament
able fact that some people are en-
tirely Indifferent to the efforts OF
their ueighbors to do what is right
in this matter. They will make
paths over their neighbours lawns on
permit chickens TO spoil their flower
beds. Some will steal flowers from
their neighbors with as little COM
junction as they would pick up a
piece OF paper. not realizing, or not
caring to consider. that a growing
plant may be the dear friend of
someone who has planted and nurse
it with affection and anticipation, n
