At the first sign OF such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night 81
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.

too powerful for child. The homes of
Mrs. E. B. Jackson. Burr Oak, Kas.. and
Mrs. ]. H. Walters, Mulberry, Kas.,

contains superior tonic properties which
help TO tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after a brief

James Bodkin of Mead, Colo, was a
witness before the special committee
of the House which is investigating
the sugar industry. Bodkin conveyed
the impression in his testimony that

disposed to favor the sugar trust as
against the raisers of sugar beets. He

the results of tests made in the labor
atory of the institution.
