BESSEMER MEETS GADSDEN BUNCH THIS AFTERNOON
CITIZENS OF MARVEL CITY ARE NOT PERFORMING THE CLUB AND MONEY CANNOT BE LOST ALWAYS

The support that the people of Besse- mer have given the Bessemer Baseball club has been both disappointing and dis astrous. The promoters are losing money daily with one of the strongest ball clubs in the league. The franchise will be moved at once unless the good people of Ressemer show immediate signs of doing better.
 Ressemer has never received as much legitimate advertising as of late. The baseball team has practically placed Bes- semer on the map. Before Bessemer was represented In the Southeastern league, tha name was hardly ever seen in the parers of other cities. Now, every day Bessemer is brought before the eyes of thousands.
 Practically every newspaper in the south carries items of the Southeastern. This brings the city before the eye of the world. The business people of Bes- semer evidently do not appreciate the vast amount of publicity a baseball team | gives the city. 1t is one of the best ad- vertisements that the Marvel City ever had. Yet 1t will not support or even show signs of supporting, the Bessemer club
 1 The cost of operating a baseball club is immense. The people of Bessemer must have at least 400 people each day at the game in order for the promoters to break even. In the past crowds of 250 and fewer have witnessed the efforts of the Pipemakers. About 100 have been admit ted free to each game.
 | Something muse be done immediately: It Is time for the merchants and people or Bessemer to rush to the guns They are getting advertisement 1nat cannot be secured in any other manner. | This afternoon show the club that you believe in a square deal. Go out to the game. Besides going yourself take some one with you. You will enjoy It. 1 R A L.

The Oldest Metal

From Harper's Weekly.
 A recent paper presented to the Royal institution at London, in discussing the question of metals used by the great na- tions of antiquity, pointed out that gold was probably the first metal known to man, because it Is generally found na- tive The oldest metallic objects to which we can assign a probable date are thought to be those found In royal tomb at Nagada, in Egypt, supposed to have been that of King Menes. In one of the chambers were some bits of gold and bead, button and q fine wire of nearly pure copper. If the tomb had been properly identified these objects are at least 6300 years old. Nearly all the an- cient gold that has been examined con- tains silver enough to give 1t a light color. It was gathered by the ancients in the bed of the Pactolus and the other streams of Asia Minor.

DR.. Beede showed that Ananias was

HOME NEEDS
this fine REMEDY
A MILD, RELIABLE, LAXATIVE.
TONIC is SOMETHING NO FAM
jLY SHOULD BE WITHOUT.

No well regulated home should be
without a laxative for there is scarce
ly a day in a family of several persons
that someone doesn't complain OF a
headache, of sleeplessness or show the
first signs of a cold.
A laxative then becomes a necessity
or what was a tritling congestion at
the beginning may into a serious
cold or fever. No harsh remedy is
needed, but simply a mild laxative
that will make the liver active and
stir up the bowels. People who tried
a great many things, and are them
selves heads Of families who have
seer the little ills run to big ones,
will tell you there is nothing better
than DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
which you can obtain at any drug store
for fifty cents or n dollar a bottle,
the latter being the family size.
Among the great believers in Syrup
Pepsin for constipation in old or
young, and as a general household
emergency remedy, are Mrs. Eph.
Trotter, Myford, Cal, and Mr.. r. e.
Williams, Galloway, Neb., and they al
ways have a bottle of it in the home.
1t is scientifically compounded and
it's purity is vouched for. Mothers
give it to tiny babies, and grown peo-
pie, taking a little larger amount, find
it equally effective. 1t is mild and
gentle, rleasant-tasting and free from
gripping.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-11-22

1t does not hide behind the name
of a popular fruit OF vegetable, and
is absolutely free from any prohib-
tied ingredient. Families who once
use Syrup Pepsin forever after avoid
cathartics, salts, pills and other harsh
medicines, for these only do temper
airy good, are nauseous and a shock to
any delicate system. Such things
should never be given to children.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial Of 1t be-
fore buying it in the regular way of a
druggist, send your address a postal
will do-to DR.. w. B. Caldwell, AIS
