a Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute 1t who have
not tried 1t, vet thousands of others, who
speak from personal experience, assert
that there is a permanent cure for chronic
constipation Some testify they We're
cured for as little as fifty cents, years
ago, and that the trouble never came
back on them, while others admit they
took several bottles before a steady cure
was brought about
The remedy referred to is DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin- It has been on the
market for over a quarter of q century
and has been pOpuIarized on its merits,
by one person telling another The fact
that its strongest supporters are women
and elderly people-the ones most per-
sistently constipated-makes 1t certain
that the claims regarding its as a perman-

Connections at SaIina


Salina. Kan, Nov. 29.-The reports
that the Midland Valley railroad.
which is building in this direction
from the south. is a project under the
control of the Union Pacific railroad,
will not die.
A southern Kansas employment
agency has furnished many of the men
Tor the construction of the Midland
Valley railroad and the men are paid
Tor their work in Union Pacific checks.
1t will be remembered that a year
or more ago survey was run from
the Midland Valley railroad to the
Union Pacific tracks at Mcpherson.
The surveyors refused to say any
thing at the time other than that the
Union Pacific railroad paid them for
their work.
The Midland Valley is penetrating
through Wichita and leads close to
Denison. Texas, where the Hartman
system has its outlet to the gulf.
There are many who will persist in
believing that the Midland Valley is
to be the connecting road from the
Union Pacific at Salina to the South
ern Pacific at Denison.

train was due and that it was his duty
to flag it. He dragged himself back
over the track and placed the torpe-

Gaul and Wallace I. Sabin, the latter the well-known composer. An orchestra of hundred veteran musicians will augment the pipe organ, MT. Sabin being orchestra leader, while MT. Husband directs the chorus.
 No such aggregation of musicians has ever been brought together in San Francisco, and Mz. Husband feels high ly elated at the progress which has been made, for it not only augurs well for the big entertainment feature of the International Sunday School Con- vention. but it gives promise of what San Francisco may hope to accom- plish as a musical center in 1915. When MT. Husband first talked of or ganizing the choir singers last winter, no one hoped that such cordial support would be given by the professional and amateur musicians, the majority of whom are so busy with their own various ambitions as singers and mu- sicians that it was not expected they would be so generous in volunteering to give their time and talent.
 Besides the grand choral concert, there will be fine musical programs at all of the big mass meetings during convention week. The Coliseum and the Greek Theater will be occupied on Sunday, June 25, with noted speakers, when large choirs, made up of sec tions of the grand choral society of the convention, will add to the attrac- tiveness of those occasions. MT. Illus band has worked diligently at the mu- sical features of the big convention, with the result that unprecedented success has crowned his efforts.
