The world seems dark and life not
worth living to the person who suffers
from Indigestion and stomach trouble
year in and year out, in spite of his
efforts to be cured. But it is all a
question of being fortunate enough to
strike the right medicine. G. X. Sion

medicine for Indigestion and stomach
trouble is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which cured him. 1t is absolutely guar

CHAPTER xxxIv.
Tho Complete plvoreer.


The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. The
next stop was Reno. and in spite OF
all the wit that is heaped upon the
town, 1t is solemn place to those
who must go there in purgatorial PEN
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such d.
vorce-enporiums as dens Of evil.
where the wicked make mockery OF
the sacrament and assail the FONDA
tions Of society, by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls.
believing that marriage is human
institution whose mishaps and mis-
takes should be rectified as far as
possible, regard the divorce courts as
cities Of refuge for ill-treated or ILL.,
mated women and men whose lives
may be saved from utter ruination by
the Intervention OF Mgh-minded
judges.
But. whichever view is right. the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo 1t.
Little Jimmie Wellington turned
pale, and stammered, as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
What kind Of place is that
Reno?"
The conductor, somewhat cynical
from close association with the di.
vorce-mill and its grist, grinned:
THAT depends on what you're leav-
Ing behind. Most folks seem to get
enough of it In about six months
Then he went his way, leaving Well
ington red. agape and perplexed. The
trouble with Wellington was that he
had brought along what he was leav-
ing behind. Or. as Ashton impudently
observed: You ought to enjoy your
residence there, Wellington. with your
wife on hand"
The only repartee that Wellington
could think of was q rather unin-
spired: you 60 to -"
80 long as it isn't Reno" Ashton
laughed, and walked away.
Wedgewood laid sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder, and said:
THAT Ashton Is no end of bound
or, what?"
Wellington wrote his epitaph in
these words;

Peevish Children :
Suffer With Worms

Don't be angry with your child be-
cause he or she is.centinually irritable.
In ninety nine out Of one hundred
cases you will find that the trouble
Is worms.
Among the common symptoms Of the
presence of round worms are nervous
ness,-which often leads to epilepti-
form attacks;-dizziness, vertigo, cap
ricious appetite, restless sleep, itching
of the eyes and nose, nausea and often
hysteria. Round worms are several
inches IN length and infest the
stomach. Occasionally several hun
bred are found in a single person.
Thread worms are smaller, often not
longer than a quarter Of an inch.
The symptoms denoting their presence
are about the same, but in this case
the child has no appetite.
Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge Is unsur-
passed in removing worms. Not only
will it destroy them, but its tonic
effects will restore the stomach to
healthy activity. As Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge seldom purges, the indi-
cations of its beneficial effects, will
be the improved conditions Of the
person usirg it.
Millions of parents have praised
this medicine for more than eighty
years. Insist upon Jayne's Tonic Vcr-
Zifuge, and accept no other. Sold
by druggists everywhere. DR.. D.

He was as weary Of being 'foiled

.ELBERTON ATTORNEY OUT
FOR WOODROW WILSON
DonneIIy Bennett Fires Some
Pointed Questions at 0ppo-
Sition to Great Democrat

From Donnelly Bennett, the attorney
at Elberton. one of the leading men of
his profession in northeast Georgia,
there came the following strong card in
favor of Woodrow Wilson's candidacy
for the presidential nomination, Tuesday
morning:
"a witty wise-acre, an eminent states
man of this country, once made the re-
mark that the Democratic party could
always be depended upon to make an
internal fool of itself at the crucial mo-
ment But does any one think that the
proposition laid down by the wise-acre
will be demonstrated by the election of
either of the three candidates who from
their actions we are forced to conclude
have been made parties to a. presidential
combine. the ultima thule of it's ambi-
ton being the defeat of the greatest
living Democrat on the American CONT
nent, Woodrow Wilson.
why is this mutuality of interests
existing between three opposing candi-
dates? Why is it that Mr. Clark and
Gov. Harmon so magnanimously with
draw from the race in Georgia, ask that
their names be left off the ballot and
throw their support to Mr.. Underwood?
Why is it that in wisconsin and various

us it not enough to make the people
Of Georgia cry out in protest? Oh, We
unsuspecting Democrats of grand old
Georgia, let not the brilliant orators
and the corrupt newspapers and the
bright CLEAN of Wall street money
swerve you one inch from the path of
Democratic fidelity, but rather should
you go to the polls on the first day of
May and cast your ballot for Woodrow
Wilson, Georgian, southerner and
a statesman, the one candidate that
stands for the best interests of, the
people, and not the interests of the
trusts, combines and monopolies-th
one Democrat who if nominted can be
elected.
las Princeton's president and jerseys
governor, Woodrow Wilson has made
for himself an enviable reputation as a
safe, sane and progressive statesman,
upon whom the American people can
depend. He has already won for him

fame, but the love, confidence and adj
