 ! the Ones If Bowels Are F Neglected.

The mother cannot do better for her children than to train them, from infancy, p regularity of the bowels. Chronic constipation in later life can be avoided if the child learns early the need for a daily evacuation of the poisonous stomach waste.
 There will, of course, be times when the little one will become con- stipated and bilious. In hot weather, especially, immediate attention is ne- cessary, as much serious illness re- suits from inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics, purgatives. and similar drastic irritants are hars hand vio- lent and only bring temporary relief while disturbing the whole system. A gentle, pleasant bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is far preferable Syrup Pepsin contains nc narcotic drug, being composed of sim Dle laxative herbs combined with pep sin, and acts gently, in natural manner, on stomach, bowels and liver By thoroughly cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter thai irritates and flames the tissue, it vii quickly check the summer diarrhoes that is so weakening in it's effect.
 Druggists sell pr. Caldwells Syrul Pepsin for fifty cents and one dollal

Maine. the first state to have prohl- bition laws pays less taxes and has more money per capita in her banks than any state in the union.
 Government statistics show every dollar collected in revenue costs the government forty. The true meaning of Personal Lib erty" by liquor dealers and brewers is freedom to spread disease, sin and pauperism and make drunken slaves of their fellowmen.
 The mistake of the State is in locking up the drunkard instead of the drink.
 Drink revenue is wet with tears and | stained with blood. < War is terrible, and many Of our best men have gone to their graves l through war; but strong drink has 1 carried more victims to the grave, in America, than war.
 1 Prohibition is in the air. The na- tions heart is beginning to throb to the music. The rising tide breaks all along the shore and each succeeding white-fringed pillow washes further l up the strand.
 Let the work for prohibition go on until every patriot who loves his country, every christian who loves his God, every philanthropist who loves | his race, every father or mother who loves their child, every son of the ! republic will march to the ballot box 1 es of the land and under an avalanche of freemen's ballot bury beyond res l urrection the American saloon. l The saloon keepers say: we

RHEA'S COUNSEL
 PLANNING BATTLE
Attorneys for Condemned Man Await Result of Appeal to U. $. Su.
 preme Court.

Little Rock, July 22.-W. s. Rhea convicted of having led the mob that murdered Vital Archard in 'Desha county last year, has made desper- ate fight for his life and his case has been taken before the highest tribu- nal in the land. Rhea is being kept at the penitentiary until the United States Supreme Court has passed up on his case He stoutly maintains his innocence of the crime, with which he is charged, and his friends and rel atiyes have flocked to his support Rhea is member of prominent family in Saline county.
 Rhea declares his case has not been understood by any of the officials whc have passed upon it; that the perJured evidence of the negro murderers up on which he was convicted is so mass ed as to obscure the real facts i'll the case, and that it takes much time t6 consider and compare this evidence in order to see the many contradlc- tions and discrepancies in the testl- mony of the negroes. Since the con yiction of Rhea, his attorneys de- clare they have obtained positive evl- dence that he was not with the mot that killed Archard A total Of l; persons, they assert, have given tes- timony to the effect that Rhea did not leave his house on the night of the killing of Archard, and five of these witnesses saw the armed mob within 100 yards of the place where the kill ing occurred.
 Courts Validity Involved.
 The Rhea case is now on appeal to the Supreme Court of the Unlteo States. which appeal acts as stay of execution. The question involved in the appeal is the validity of the court in which Rhea was indicted and also in which he was tried Should the appeal prove to be not the proner form for raising the federal question in the case, the attorneys fol Rhea will file a petition in the state court for writ of habeas corpus, al leging that the proceedings agalns' Rhea are without due process of Ia" there being no jurisdiction in the courts which indicted and tried him and that, therefore, the proceedings have been in violation of the four teenth amendment. If it is held thai the proceedings have been regular Rheas attorneys will present the new ly discovered evidence in mouoh Iol | a new trial in the state courts. Ihls newly discovered evidence they declare will show his innocence beyond doubt, and if the courts refuse te order a new trial this evidence VII he laid before the governor. The at. torneys for Rhea declare they will fight for the young mans life to the very last, and Rhea himself says that his execution as criminal would Dc a disgrace upon the name of justice in Arkansas.
 w. s. Rhea is member of the liar. rison family of Saline county, whe were early pioneers, having emigrat' cd from Kentucky. His father diec when he was years old, and he wal reared by Henry Harrison. his uncle who has laid aside his business in Rhea's interest. Rhea was assistant
