Good Liver
Remedy Free

When you suffer from any form Of
indigestion it is always we'll to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have 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 recon-
mended by those who have used 1t, is
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. which you
can obtain of any druggist at fifty
cents or one dollar a bottle. But If you
have any doubt about its merits, and
would prefer to try 1t first, send your
address to Dr. Caldwell and he will
promptly send you a 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, Ill,
sent for one and 1T cured her and she
is open in saying that she will never
take pills or strong cathartics again,
as Syrup Pepsin acts so mildly MT.
w. l.. Bryant. the Postmaster a t Sardis,
Tenn, says he will never be without 1t
again. No sick person can afford to
ignore remedy SO highly endorsed as
this. 1t is good for all the family from
Infancy to old age, because 1T is mild,
free from gripping and yet promptly ef-
fective Furthermore, results are abb
solutely guaranteed or money will be
refunded.
DR.. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obll-
cation. He has specialized in stomach,
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years and will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free
him. Whether for the medical advice
or the free sample address him DR.

ers with shotguns and even boys with
their small 22-caliber rifles caught
the spirit of the chase.
The second big hunt occurred last
Sunday when nearly one hundred
farmers took up arms and searched
the two townships as thoroughly as
possible.
One of the most interesting tales
brought back to camp after the wolf
hunt is that told by Ralph Wright, Il
man who works on the farm of A..
Hollingsworth, of Keokuk, who also
Mr.. Wright declares he saw the oldest
wolf of the pack and was close enough
to take shot. He emptied both bar
;rels of his shotgun into the animal,
which fell to the ground, momentarly
stunned. Wright advanced cautiously
to the fallen animal, simultaneously
lreloading his gun. But before he had
gone up many steps the wolf recover
ed and hurried off. For several miles
the animal could be followed by the
blood, but eventually the tracks dis
appeared, and it is not supposed the
animal died.
At different times no less than four
wolves have been seen and many of
the farmers are inclined to believe
that the number is even greater than
this.
Hounds Have no Luck.
1t is difficult to estimate the num-
Der of lambs and sheep that have
been killed by the wolves. In four or
five flocks in Montrose township alone
no less than seventy-fye have been
slaughtered.
During the past few days hounds
secured from a Denmark man, have
joined in the hunt. Ten times the
bounty offered by the county has
been offered by the farmers to the
man who will bring the wolves in
dead or alive.
During one of the hunts consider,
able excitement was occasioned when
| the men followed a trail to the ravine
| in Jack Owens pasture.
4 The wolves are what are known ms
! timber wolves, and damage incurred
4 by them may be recovered from the
county. 1t is said that a big bill will
! be presented to the county.
And in the meantime the wolves are
still at large and hunts will be con
tinued until they are captural.

Appeared Several Weeks Ago.

The wolves made their first appear
ance more than two weeks ago and
since then have been preying upon
the sheep and lambs almost nightly.
Estimates differ as to the number o.
animals in the pack, but a conserva-
tive estimate places the number at
four They are blood-thirsty beasts
who are ever hungry for the blood oil
I the defenseless young stock. In many
! instances the wolves have only placed
4 their teeth in the back of the sheep or
lambs head and then passed on to an
sother animal. When hungry, IN othe.
Instances, much of the flesh meat OF
the animal killed has been consumed.
The destruction of stock continued
for several days before the farmers
were sufficiently alarmed to take col
$certed action in the matter AS they
organized the work of the wild beasts
broadened out to assume ALARMING
proportions. and before the first real
hunt was engaged in it is said that
more than one hundred lambs and
sheep had been destroyed. These fg
ures give an estimate of the speed
Il and persistence with which the wolves
worked during those first few nights
The wolves have worked over an
area OF about twenty-five square miles

Wolf Hounds are Helping

Not since the days of early ciyiliza-

animals nightly came from their lair
to prey upon the unprotected stock of
the pioneer settler, has there been
such pillage as is now going on in
Lee county. Farmers have already SUI
fered hundreds of dollars worth of
damage with no prospects of bringing
the costly devastation to an end.
For two weeks pack of timber
wolves have been thriving on the
stock Of the farmers of Montrose and
jackson (outside) townships. More
than one hundred men, comprising in
their numbers the youngster in knee
pants and the gray bearded old man.
have joined in the wolf hunt, which is
now becoming nightly occurrence.
& Despite their efforts the slaughter has
continued without abatement. Many
of the farmers are already prepared to
file claims with the county because OF
the damage they have suffered. 1t is

outlying districts of the county are
teeming with excitement for the peo-
pie. Never has wolf hunt carried
with it more thrills than the present
one and farmers for miles around
have been attracted to the scene. The
wolves have been seen on numerous
occasions. One hunter claims to have
filled one of the animals with buck
shot, to have seen the wild beast
tumble over, only to recover and sour
ry away without being captured. Seg-
eral times the wolves have been track
ed to a deep ravine, only to elude pur-
suit. Two wolf hounds have been Sc
cured from Denmark and are being
put on the trail.

The Doubt Removed.

Be it understood, although there has
been no loud voicing of disapproval
because of domestic science instruc-
ton in the schools, the board of di-
rectors have been skeptical as to the
good results that can be accomplished
in that department and from time to
time have said SO.
Happily, Superintendent Aldrich
struck a cue, conferred with Miss Par
sons and her older students, then IN
formed the board members that they
with their wives, were invited out to
