Prejudice Is a
 Serious Menace

Prejudice is a hard thing to overcome. but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay 1t aside. This Is said In the inter est of people suffering from chronic constipation, and 1t is worthy of their attention.
 In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by a brief use of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before. but do not doubt its merits on that account, or because 1t has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- mendation. Parents are giving 1t to by their parents. and 1t has been truth fully said that moro druggists use it personally In their families than any other laxative.
 Letters recently received from Oracle Helton, Udora, Okla. and c. W. War ren. Keo. Ark. are but a few of thou eands showing the esteem In which pr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin is held. It is mild. gentle. non -griping-not violent, like ealts or cathartics. It cures gradually again does its own work without out eide aid. Constipated people owe 1t to themselves to use this grand bowel specific.
 Anyone wishing to make e trial of this remedy before buying 1t in tho regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or ono dollar a large bottle tfamiiy size) can have a sample bottle sent to the homo free of charge by simply addressing Dr. w. B. Caldwell. POI Washington St.. Monticello. III. Your name and address on a postal card will do.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

The United States is growing practically the equivalent of all the rice it uses. Some rice of special varieties Is being imported for Orientals in the United States who prefer those varieties. The islands of the Carribean sea and the Philippines get rice from the United States.

SATISFACTION OR MONEY REFUNDED
Recently u prominent Texas

Recently prominent Texas
brewer died and the daily papers
had column eulogy of his great
public spirit and philan-
throphy." While reading it we
wondered if old SaintPeter would
accept the recommendation Of
his terrestrial newspaper eulo-
gists. We also thought of the
fellow who robbed Peter to pay
Paul. From our viewpoint the
brewer or distiller who makes,
for money, a poisonous decoction
which steals away a mans brains
and character and takes the
clothes from the back, the shoes
from the feet and the bread from
the mouths of his wife and child
rem, is ten thousand times a
greater robber than the man who
simply stole Peters money to pay
Paul q money debt; and no amount
of bencfactions and philanthropy
INDUCED in to ease IL turbulent
conscience can alter the fact that
he is Il robber still. - Bogata News

Read This, Boys!

The Alcade Chronicle is small
paper printed within the walls OF
the Texas penitentiary at Rusk,
and edited by cOnvect. In a
late issue it has the following
warning to boys, which every
grown person knows is the truth.
We wish that every boy reader
of The News would read and re-
member what this penitentiary
paper says, and remember also
that one Of the most explicit com
mands of the Bible is, Children,
obey your parents.
Why is it that SO many young
men yield to temptation and drift
with the tide until they get into
trouble, for which they have to
pay the penalty by serving time
in a penitentiary9 In many
cases it is because these have
failed to obey their parents,
thinking that they knew more
than father or mother and were
fully able to take care of them
selves, and that they could VIC
late the law without being caught.
Many have found out to their
sorrow that they were greatly
mistaken, that they must reap
what they SOW, and that the way
Of the transgressor is hard,

Plant More Of Something to Eat

We can't eat the dad blamed
stuff, out in the weather while we
pay intrest on the money bor-
rowed to hold it, and if another
average crop is raised next year
there's no prospect Of the price
advancing. Moral: Plant more
to live on next year and cut the
cotton acreage deep. With
plenty Of corn, oats, wheat, po-
tatoes, onions, fruit and vegeta-
bles the low price of cotton
will not be such a calamity. And
the beauty of it is, if we raise
more of the eatables and less cot
ton, the cotton crop brings more
clear money. No knowledge of
algebraic equations is necessary
to figure this out. Common
horse sense gives the answer.

On Christmas Morn.

They Jared across the lonely plains.
They dared the desert way.
Above them moved the starry trains
That rest not night or day.
One star from out the splendor shone
A rift OF heavens own light
In fearless faith they followed on.
Their eager faces bright.
Three kings were they of great renown,
And from the east afar
Until It stood Ger Bethlehem town
They journeyed by the star.
It stood above q cattle shed,
And there its light grew dim.
To heavens own child tho star had led.
Its glory paled for him.
Immanuel A little Child
That very day newborn.
They knelt before tho indebted
That earliest Christmas morn.
Each head was bent 20 give him praise
Their incense. gold and myrrh
They offered him In glad amaze
Each humble worsh!per.
What gifts have NO for Christ today
We too. have seen tho star.
And We have found the happy way
To Bethlehem at.r
Our go,i our UyrIh. our incense sweet.
Shan we not h.tEer briugf
Al. let us haste 20 kiss his feet
