es after a year of suffering, he found
permanent relief and full recovery to
health by using Eckman's Alternative,
| a medicine which has been effective in
many cases of tuberculosis
PSI Laruston ST, Phila., Pa.
"Gentlemen:-In March, 1909, was

Medical treatment did not help me, and

and at times would have cold sweats
and fever. In April, 1910, returned
to the hospital, but the continued
operations were not benefiting me.
I'm the meantime, a friend of mine
advised Eckman's Alternative, saying it
was good for tuberculosis. The
wounds in my neck were still open and

They called him Cheerful Hymie."
The pet of the Omaha hospital. his
death was the occasion Of widespread
and genuine grief.
Hymie was eight years Of age. was
afflicted with an incurable hip disease,
had undergone several operations and
had lived in the hospital three years.
He was known as Cheerful Hymie
because of his disposition. Bearing a
burden Of suffering that would have
taxed all the patience and philosophy
Of an older person. Hymie never COM
planned Of his own troubles. The
nurses say his funny sayings were
better medicine than any the doctors
gave.
BY his request he was wheeled about
the hospital and gave cheerful greet
ing to all, giving special attention to
any newcomer who might be having
a hard time.
He never spoke Of his own suffer
ing, and If questioned made joke
about it. Living in the constant at
mosphere and amid the depressing
scenes Of hospital. he did not permit
the surroundings to affect him.
Knowing his disease was incurable.
the little cripple faced the future
with smile.
Nobody knows how many sleepless
nights he spent on his little cot squeez-
ing back the terrible pains.
The little fellow never stopped to
question his Providence nor to debate
in his mind the use of it all; and he
put to shame .the petulance Of many
q complaining neighbor.
He suffered-and smiled.
Despite his crippled state. the boy
found something sweet-even amusing
about human life; something mex
tinguishable and worth while.
He died as he had lived-with smile
on his face
What made him so brave?
At his age he could fortify himself
with no deep philosophy respecting
life. it's compensations, its needs OF
optimism.
He merely made short cut to the
doctrine that. whatever happens. 1t is
always best to make the best of it.
And so the lad went about in his
wheeled chair. keenly alive to every
slight humorous phase. making his
quaint sayings. scattering his winsome
smiles. bringing into the dark corners
of suffering every CLINT of sushine he
was able to get and transmit.
/ know men who have lived to be
eighty years Of age and who have
been Of much less use to the world
than this boy of eight.

Growing Children
Need Good Bowels
Give a Mild Laxative Occasionally to
Insure Regular Bowel Action.

AS child grows older it requires
more and mere personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
lions of the bowels are OF the utmost
Importance 10 health great attention
should be paid 10 them.
Diet is OF great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another. and so We have
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness TO thousands, and wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
II is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes are
taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally according TO the indi-
vidual circumstances. is DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin. This is laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that IL is Civ

LAWRENCE V. SHERMAN,

Lawrence Y. Sherman, the choice of
the Republican party in Illinois to sue
coed Shelby Nj. Cullom in the United
States senate, was born in Miami
p County, Ohio, November s, 1858. Less
than year later he was taken by his
parents to Illinois, which state has
been his home ever since. At the age
of sixteen he went to work on his
fathers farm, and for several years
all the schooling he had was acquired
through his own efforts from books.
With money earned by helping his
neighbors through the threshing sea-
son he was enabled to attend McKen-
dree college, where he graduated in
law in 1882. Within few years he
was elected city attorney of Macomb
Ill.,, which position proved a stepping
stone to the office of county Judge.
After one term on the bench, Judge
Sherman returned to the practice of
his profession and soon was rated one
of the leading lawyers of central ILL
nois. He became a member of the
Illinois house of representatives in
1896 and later served as lieutenant
governor of the state.
Congratulations to:

senator from New Hampshire, 6S years

MONEY MAKING A TRADE.
But Money Saving is an Art-An Op'
portunity to Learn This Art.

An exchange very tersely says tnat
money making is a business; money
saving is an art. 1t matters not
how much money you make, writes
the editor Its the money you save
that counts in the long run. If you
have not begun yet now is the time.
Had the above been written eX-
nrassly for Ardmore it could not have
been more in point Almost any
one can make money. Money max
ing is not only a business, as the
writer above quoted says, it is an
occupation. Labor, skilled and un-
skilled. can go into the fields OF daily
avocations and turn out dollars and
cents. but 70 save them is truly an
art
4 safe, sound and paying invest
ment for the fruits of our daily toll
is the most accredited means of ac-
curing the art of saving. Saving IN
itself does not mean the niggardly
cutting down of the expenses OF
every day life to a degree OF miserli'
ness. One can enjoy the good things
of life and at the same time save
by putting his odd change. the over
plus of his weekly wage into some
legitimate business concern whose
methods of doing business is open
and subject to inspection. The PeO-
pies Building and Loan Association
OF Ardmore is just such a business
institution. Its methods are method
ica and open: it is under the in
Spection of the state banking depart
ment: it affords an opportunity for
investment for the small investor as
well as for the man with greater cap
ital Money placed in this institution
works for YOU. While you make or
sleep. in fair weather or storm your
dollars, if placed with this concern,
will continue 10 earn other dollars
for You. For full particulars of the
methods of the company, together
with an explanation of their absolute
ly safe and sound business methods
see the secretary,
w. 4. EDWARDS.
