How to be Certain of
 Curing Consti patton

Letters recently received from Oracle
 Heton. Udora. Okla. and c. w. War ren, Keo. Ark, are but few of thou sands showing the esteem in which Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is held. It is
 mild. gentle. griping-not violent. like
 salts or cathartics. It cures gradually
 and pleasantly so that in time nature again does its own work without out
 side aid. Constipated people owe it to specific.
 Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying 1t in the regular way of druggist at fifty cents or one
 have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing pr. W. B. Caldwell, 405 Washington St.. Monticello, III. Your name and address

Prejudice is a hard thing to overcome. but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay it aside. This is said in the inter- est of people suffering from chronic constipation, and it is worthy of their attention
 Tn the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by brief use of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of 1t before, but do not doubt it's merits on that account. or because 1t has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- their children today who were given it by their parents, and it has been truth fully said that more druggists use it personally in their families than any other laxative.

PRESS ASSOCIATION
 HOLDS MEETING

The meeting of the Arkansa State Press Association held in Little Rock Thursday was the most successful ever held..by the members of that organization. Though it was a semi-annual meeting, and not a regular one, the members decided it was so successful, both from the stand . point of attendance as well as business transacted, that more attention will in the future be paid to the winter meetings. A vote was taken on this question late in the afternoon.
 The entire afternoon was de. voted to the cost system, which was started by paper read by A. D. Murlin, state manager for the Western Newspaper Union. This paper was Eprepared with the assistance of H. G. Mitchell, of the Democrat Printing and Lithographing Company. It had to deal with the cost of produc. tion of job printing and news papers, and at it's completion the whole assembly joined in dis, cussion. This was kept up for several hours before it was final ly decided to leave the matter to a committee which will make a close study of newspaper con. ditions in the next few months and then report at the spring meeting, This mittee, ap- pointed by President Arthur Livingstone of Russellville, is composed of V. A. Benson of the Morrilton Headlight, Claude Mann of the Malvern Times Journal, c. A. Berry of the Hut. tig News. Frank Robins of the Conway Log Cabin Democrat and c. E. Funk of the Rogers Demo crat. This committee will go in to the matter thoroughly and a report which will be printed and circulated among the mem. berS of the associati

 At the close of the session the question of where the next spring meeting would be held, was brought up, and Marianna was the only town which presented a formal invitation. Some were in favor of accepting this invitation, but others thought there were several towns that were anxion s

 The automobile owners of the state are slow about paying their licenses to the state under the new law of 1911. Last year the Secretary of State, who has this in charge, issued 1,563 licenses, but the first five weeks in 1912 show only 800 licenses issued, all though the law specifically says it is due and payable January 1. It is estimated that there are 2,500 automobiles in the state that should pay license. and all that have not paid are therefore delinquent.

Is It Kinds or o,Rrien?


The friends of Hon. Asher C. Kinds
are rallying Loyalty around him and
fighting calmly, as Mr.. Kinds would
have them battle for him, the bonn
bastic, spectacular and wholly unfair
and unmanly campaign of his OPP
ponent. One of the most cowardly
weapons ever used by a candidate for
high office is the insidioug lie. quietly
but persistently circulated against the
physical condition of an opponent
whose physician restraints him from
the excitement of the campaign
stump.
1t is not only a matter of pride in
the First congressional district but to
all Maine, that man of Mr.. Kinds
ability which is recognized throughout
the nation, represent this State in the
national law making body. Every
member of Congress. every newspaper
editor and correspondent. every man
who knows anything of national af-
fairs. knows that Asher c.. Kinds is
the greatest parliamentarian in the
United States today. His reputation
is world wide and a by-word in
