Dr. Curtis threatened to call an officer if Conine did not de- sist. Then the chairman told MT. Conine a few things. In well chosen language and with no apparent feel ing he told how Conine had crawled into the Republican party when he had been repudiated and was now 1oing the dirty work for that party. He called Mr. Confines attention to he fact that he had been allowed he privilege of the floor and that he aad abused it. His scathing arraign- nent was heartily approved by the Bull Moosers present and by the crowds of Democrats on the outside

CONSTIPATION is A
MENACE IN SUMMER
Regularity of Bowels Very I'M
portant To Health at This
Time.

At no time should people more
closely watch the condition of their
bowels than during hot weather. Sum-
mer conditions contribute in various
ways to cause constipation, but what
ever the cause the trouble should be
quickly corrected; constipation. If
neglected, leads directly to serious,
and often fatal disease.
Some people find that certain fruits
have laxative effect but this cannot be
depended upon; a mild laxative tonic
that will act gently and positively,
without gripping or shock to the sys-
TEN, is far preferable. The COM
pound of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, is highly recommended as be-
ing easy and natural in action, pleas
ant to the staste and certain in its ef-
feet. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at night
Will restore normal action in the
morning, carrying off the heaviness
and bloat. Salts, purgative waters
and cathartics should be avoided. as
they upset the entire system and af-
ford at best but temporary relief. BY
cleansing the bowels and removing
the foreign matter that irritates and
inflames the tissues, a spoonful of
Syrup Pepsin will quickly check the
summer diarrhoea that is so weaken
ing. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
sold by druggists for fifty cents a bot
tie, the larger, family size costing one
dollar. A free trial bottle can be
obtained, postpaid, by writing to DR..

MONKEY DINNERS GO;
WOMAN SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Newport Society Leader Says WOm-
EN- Drive Out Frivolous Things
and Sit on i'd

New York.-The real reason why
the lid is on tight at Newport, why
there is no gambling, no Sunday dane
ing. no grizzly bear, no turkey trot
and no monkey diners, is woman suf-
frage. At least this is what Mrs. o.
H. P. Belmont, she of the millions
anl the marble palace, says, and she
is sitting on the lid, so she ought
to know.
The frivolous gaiety," said Mrs.
Belmont, because the woman
are becoming interested in bigger and
more vital things than monkey din
ners and are themselves doing the
things that they have previously de-
pended on the men to do for them.
If we look far enough into things
we will see that suffrage is the cause
of it all, and a better and a cleaner
city is the result. 1t is really the
women who have done these things.
THE American woman, particular
ly the eastern woman, is hopelessly
lacking in pride. She must take for
her watchwords pride, independence
and courage. The highest sphere for
woman is not the home, but inde-
pendence. The girl who is earning a
good salary is unwise and a coward
if she gives it up to marry any man.
A woman without sufficient pride to
urge her on to do her best until some
man approaches on the scene who is
willing to marry her and give her a
home, is no more capable of being
a successful wife than she is of being
a successful breadwinner."

SEND "JAGS" TO THE FARM.
New York Hereafter Will Not Impris-
on Habitual Drunkards.

New York.-The cries for the up
life of the perpetual souse have tri-
umpher at last. There is to be a
fine home on a big farm away out
in the country for the booze fighter.
The board of estimate this after.
noon authorized the appropriation of
$4,000 to purchase the Durland $40
acre farm near Goshen. Money will
be set aside later for buildings.
After this place gets in working
order, habitual drunkards will not be
sent to prison. On the farm they
will be taugh many things about
farming, and that work, with pure
country air in the boozologist's lungs
may cause a man to leave drink alone,
unless he likes to be on that farm.
