that caused some survivors to tell of

the stricken vessel, weighted with the
mass of engine and boiler room wreck

herself, bows down, in the soft OoZe of
the Atlantic bottom, two miles below.
There, for aught we know, she may at

Bride Fined For Coquetry

A young woman Of Zurich has been
fined fl as and costs for "coquetry."
She was about TO be married and duly
presented her birth certificate at the
town hall, where it was found that
the figures of the year of her birth.
1883, had been changed to 1886 by the
bride, who thus became three years
younger As it is serious matter in
Switzerland to tamper with official pa
pers. the police were Informed. and
the young woman, who belongs to a
good family. had to appear before the
magistrate. She explained that she felt
at least three years younger than her
age Gwenty-nine) and therefore chang

Western Bank Loans,

The difference between the Ameri-
can east and west so strongly empha-
sized by rhetoricians and meteOrolo-
gists extends even to the banking sys-
TEN. In the west they lend money on
reputation, in the east on security. On
a day in June last six little banks in
Seattle had lent on individual or firm
notes without any other security than
the names 1851, 600. while the whole
National bank group In New York had
lent on similar paper only little more
than $9,000,000. On that same day in
San Francisco the loans of this sort
amounted to more than S47,000O00.
The western system is one of credit
based upon industry and upon much
closer and more accurate knowledge of
the man himself than can ever be pos
sible in the bigger eastern cities. -

Toll of the Iceberos.

The list OF vessels battered or sunk
by icebergs is long one, and it is we'll
to recall it at a time when all the
world is thinking of the Titanic. Thus.
to take an example or so at haphazard,
in the spring Of 1890 four steamers of
the England-America route utterly van
ished, and in 1899 ten steamers disap-
peared. In 1908 the Monaghan was
imprisoned for two days in the ice, but
escaped. In 1909 the Lake Champlain.
the Regulus. the BOnavista and the
Montrose were so battered by the float
ing ice that each escaped calamity by
a very narrow margin. while none can
tell how many fishing smacks are year
ly dashed to pieces by these towering
CLASSY crags.-London Queen.

Bowels are Basis
of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities Of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
a child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlesSness during sleep, irrita-
biIity and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspOonful of Or. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
neceSsary-mOre 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.
This remedy is vast improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether
The Adair County news., 1912-10-02

too powerful for a child. The homes of
Mrs Carrie Mcdonald, 1896 Trigg Ave-,
Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs. Sallie E. Grif-
fifth, Veechdale, KY, are always supplied
with DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative
1t is really more than laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels SO that after a brief
use of it all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do it's own work.
Anyone wishing to make trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular
way of a druggist at fifty cents or one
dollar large bottle (familY SiZe) can
have a sample bottle sent to the home
