THE PEEvISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When q child sulks drowsily, or -

disorder Of the digestive organs, and
mild laxative is very often all that -
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use OF gentle,
effective laxative stimulant Is indi-
Gated, many OF the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative. being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels.
and far preferable to violent cathart-
ics and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy.
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in Soc and
$1OO bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.

TOO EXCITING FOR CROKER
Ex-Tammany Chief, Like So Many
Others, Suceumbed to the Fascl-
nation Of Stevenson.

The ideas Of Richard Croker do not
run on bookish lines. Regretting this
circumstance and considering that a
taste for literature, once inculcated,
might be a source of pleasure In his
advanced years. a journalistic friend
who crossed the Atlantic with the one
time chieftain of Tammany hall not
long ago cornered him in the steam
ships library one evening and OBJ
tained a reluctant permission to read
Treasure Island" to him.
Much to his friends encouragement,
Mr.. Croker listened with unfeigned In
terest until the lights went out and
apparently enjoyed the narration Of
the exciting events of John Morgan,
Billy Bones. Black Dog, John Silver
and the others. Wherefore, finding
Mr. Croker in the library the next
evening, the journalist again pro
duced his volume OF Stevenson and
drew up chair. But the one-time
Tammany chieftain lifted a protesting
hand.
Don't read that book to me any
more" he said. Il couldn't get to
sleep last night for thinking about
those fellows"

Land Lease Les. THAI Taxes.

Denver.-That thousands OF acres OF
state land have been leased by tho
land board to private individuals at
less rental than the lessees would
be compelled to pay in taxes alone II
they owned the land outright is the
discovery made by members OF the
land board. Now an effort is being
made to raise the rental on these
lands at least to the figure
which would have to be paid
in taxes, and huge roar is
going up from stockmen and others
The state law provides minimum OF
s cents per acre on grazing land
which is without supply OF water. A
minimum of cents is provided for
land having water holes or other
source of water supply. The prices
range from these figures upward. but
in the majority of cases the minimum
fee is found to have been charged.
