Laxative Sent
 Free to Try

It may be taken for granted that there is no family of any size that goes very long without needing a lax ative. If you don't know of good laxative, or the laxative you are using is losing its effect, we want to cali your attention to Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of families are using successfully.
 We have scores of letters from moth CTS, and scores from prominent men saying they are using it personally and giving 1t to their families. men like Mr. .. K. Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and MT 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 that it Is mild, gentle laxative tonic that does not gripe-effective and yet so mild that babies can take it. It's tonic ingredients invigorate the body and strengthen the stomach and bow el muscles so that they again do their work naturally. If you have been a victim of salts, pills and strong cathar- tics you will discard them when you once use Syrup Pepsin.
 You can buy fifty cent or one doI- Tar bottle of any druggist, but before doing so you may want to try it free. IT SO send your address to Dr. Cald- well and he will promptly forward a Iree sample bottle. Then, being con Yirced, do IS others are doing and buy It In the regular way of your favorite druggist.
 Dr, Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obIi- Eation. He has specialized in stomach. liver and bowel diseases for over forty years aud will be pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free 1I charge. All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him pr. ". Caldwell. i02 Caldwell building. 4don Q, H.

At the midnight hour last night when the 9th of January turned into the 7th, Jake Don't. subscribe turned over with his face to the wall and expired. We don't know positively where his soul went to but we have an idea and we don't care. We have written loving and touching obituaries about many of Jake s friends that were like him, but on this day we are going to tell the truth.
 Jake was positively no account and not worth a whoop to his family and the community in which he lived. He was tight wad. He was able to and did not subscribe for the News, tho his wife and daughter both want ed him to. He worried the mer chants by borrowing their paper and then complained that the sheet did not contain enough news.
 He could have doubled his for tune had he advertised, but that would have cost him dollar and he would have died an earlier death. God knows we wish he had.
 He Is gone new and his broad minded wife and daughter have gotten hold of the money they have been asking for and we ex. pect another subscription to the News instanter.
