II Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother, who watches close
ly the physical peculiarities of her chill
dren, will soon discover that the most
important thing in connection with
child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences OF physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DIR. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night II
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast improvement
over salts. cathartics. laxative waters
and similar things. which are altogether
too powerful for a child. The homes OF
Emma Steward 24lS f. Main St, Rich
mond. Va, and Mrs. Sadie Parhan, AZ

piled with DR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.
and with them, as with thousands of 9TH

laxative. II is really more than a laxative,
for il contains superior tonic properties
which help TO tone and strengthen the

many OF them being utterly unfit for use Deal
ers such as these are rare 1t is true; the major
ity of them are honest
To the dealers, whom the railroads designate as
the consgnees come the little fellows the traders
These also represent almost every phase of hui
man character. Many save up few hundred dol
lars and visit the freight yards with their teams
buying the trees in less than carload lots In this
way they can see just what they are getting
Most Of them are shrewd fellows. and drive
hard bargain. Your upcountryman is ofttimes as
shrewd, however as the "piker" dealer and many
amusing hours may be spent frequenting the
freight yards in the railroads where the trees
stacked or exhibited for sale
Each year there are many new additions to
the company of dealers. The lure of the adven
ture. the chance to realize money upon an invest
ment that is practically certain to bring so per
cent return, attracts many TO the business. Trees
can be purchased In half carload lots or even in
hundred lots for about so cents apiece. II they
be sold for a dollar. or perhaps more the
chance to make money quickly is irresistible to
MANY investors.
Not always does the investor succeed His
fingers are sometimes pretty badly burned. The
market may be glutted he may have a rival on the
next corner or perhaps his trees not sufficient
ly attractive TO the public to patronize him.
Perhaps he has held off, waiting for better prices
till the last moment and finds himself with half
a hundred spruce on his hands which he must
dispose of best he may
Usually however the business is lucrative The
wise dealer buys trees In hundred lots. peddles
them out quickly, and comes back for more He
does not wait for high prices, but sells his trees
for what he get.
