The disposition to eat cold food and why constipation and darrhcoa is so prevalent in summer, and there is no time when people should more care fully avoid bowel disturbances, as much serious disease is directly trace able to these conditions We need all of our strength to withstand the ener- vating effect of heat.
 To regulate the bowels and quickly relieve even the most aggravated case simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin, is highly recommended by all those who have ever used it. Unlike cathartics and violent pursatives, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin acts gently OH the stomach, liver and bowels, without gripping or other discomfort, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner. It can be used with perfect
 
 child, and yet is equally effective for the strongest constitution. Mild, pleasant to take, and inexpensive, it is the ideal family laxative. By cleans ing the bowel tract thoroughly and eliminating the foreign matter and poisons that irritate and inflame, it will quickly check summer diarrhoea and restore normal conditions.

Mrs. Curtis To Speak Here

Mrs. Mamie Curtis, state president of the w. c. T. U.. will visit Pine Bluff within the next few weeks and will speak in the there's, of Prohi- bition. Mrs. Curtis recently spoke in Bristol, Va, and the Herald Courier of that city, pays her the fellow ng compliment:
 Such an introduction was p5wer- ful enought to create em2nstralion a. the temperance meeting Monday night, the Nike of which, has seldom if ever, been witnessed in Bristol. But it only partially describes this re- markable worman. Pre-eminantly a woman, with the nobility and lofti- ness of character and tine beauty of temperament which poetry has woven ialo the warld, that alone would dis tinguish her. She is an orator with a true orators power. She is of fine presence, with a pleasing voice. Hel eloquence is of that spontaneous quality which carries conviction with masculil'e force. Her ability 70 play upon the emotions of an audience in a simple, undramatic way is marvel ous. Leaving out of consideration en- tirely the burst 3f enthusiasm which she found awaiting Iher, and all the dramatic sitting into which she sud denly appeared, and judging the se- vetest standard of intellectual and forensic capacity, she is an unusual woman. Her addresses were the eli max of the temperance campaign. All Herald Courier.
