WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative Is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-.
scribed by Dr.. W. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle In action, pos
tive In effect and pleasant to the
taste. 4 spoonful Of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles Of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, II any,
further need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
procured In any drug store. Your
name and address on a postal to Dr..
W. B. Caldwell, 203 West St, Mont,
cello, Ill, will bring a free trial bot,
tie by return mail. Adv. !.

TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL
Lona-DeIayed France-EngIIsh Prolec,
Is Once More Being Put
Forward.

A tunnel between England and
France beneath the English channel
was first proposed at the beginning
Of the nineteenth century by Matthew,
a French mining engineer, says the
Argonaut. Fifty years later the
scheme was financed, but 1t was not
until 1867 that It seemed that the
project would be actually attempted.
At that time there were a dozen or
more plans for rail communication
between the two countries. The ac-
cepted scheme was that Of q tunnel
bored beneath the bed Of the channel.
The estimated cost OF the undertak-
Ing was about $50,000,0 600. Prelimi.
nary boring had been made, when the
work was interrupted by the Franco
Prussian war. In 1874 the French
and English governments resumed ne
gotiations concerning the tunnel.
leaving the matter in the hands Of q
joint commission. Failure on the
part Of the English company holding
the contract for the work to receive
sufficient funds resulted In the fail
ure of the enterprise In 1880. Now
the project Is receiving some atten-
ton, a better feeling having been es-
tablished between the people Of the
two countris.

All three have spent much time on
Georgia soil. President Taft. whose

he established his winter capitol
