When the bowels are inactive, loss OF
appetite. restlessness during sleep, IT.
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured At the first
sign OF constipation give the child a
teaspoonful Of DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You VIII find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin Is far
preferable to salts cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sample to Dr. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.

to buy. One Of the big agencies in
getting the people from distant
towns to come here to trade is the
market day which has been In vogue
here for two years. The quality
and price 6ffered In Abilene Is as
good as can be found in trading
centers much larger than this and
the people are taking advantage OF
It. The railway fare of 1920 spent
by Mrs. and Mrs. Oberholser was

BANK COMMISSIONER WILL
STAY UNTIL MARCH 4.

Topeka. Dec. 21.--Democrats who
are interested In the resignation Of
state Bank Commission J. N. Dolley
win be disappointed to learn that
he doeen't intend to resign ut all.
He intends to keep right serving
until his term expires and that Will
not be until the first Of March. Mr..
Dolley would be willing to step out
the first Of the year. but when ne
goes the probabilities are that his
office force will 60 out, too. and
he intends to stay on the Job until
they can get located or until his
term expires,
George H. Hodges, governor-elect'
announced many times during the
campaign that he would fire Mr..
Dolley within fifteen minutes after
he took the governors office. But
Mr.. Dolley was appointed by Gow
ernor Stubbs for a term Of two years
beginning with March 1, 1911, and
that appointment was confirmed bs
the senate. 1t Is possible that Gov
ernor-elect Hodges will ask for Mr.
Dolley's resignation, but unless ne
changes his mind Dolley will not let
that bother him. g4 s.,4
