Baskets Now Rule Favorite.
The favorite form taken by Easter
floral gifts is in baskets Of assorted
flowers arranged in harmonizing or
contrasting colors. These baskets
may be made as simple or as elabor.
ate as the taste and the purse of the
purchaser may desire, and they are
often adorned with ribbons, which
add materially to the cost. The
prices of the floral baskets as pre-
pared by the best florist range from
$40 to $50, and in few instances they
come even higher than the latter fig
ure. The basket itself, while resemb.
ling the ordinary market basket in
shape and basic material, is frequent

ordered to Jail by Judge Markey

the action of the Federal Surety

Of $4,000 for the appearance of

This appeal.from Freeport is in
line with the action of business
men in other sections who, be-
cause of the loss to their business,
are requesting the road to recog-
ME the federation of the shop
men and put stop to the strike.
At the federation's headquar-
tiers today it was said that Mr..
Markham's declaration would
have no effect on the strikers. La
Dor leaders said that the pressure
from business men would become
so great that road officials would
be forced to yield. In addition to
this, it was said, the road was ex-
periencing difficulty with its mo-
tive power, and was severely
crippled by the present weather.

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 undar the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
five in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful Of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for q
brief period, will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, If any,
further need for medicine.
DR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin can be
procured in any drug store. Your
name and address on postal TO DR..
w. B. Caldwell, 203 West ST., Monti.
