Elsewhere in this paper appears an
announcement that the United Nor
wegian Lutheran church property 1.-THE
old M. E. church, is for sale. This
move has been decided upon as owing
to the removal of several families, the
congregation no longer feels able to
keep up church services. With little
remodeling, the building could be used
as a private or business school, being
nicely located for such purposes, and
such use would be Of great value to
the town. There is no reason why a
good business school here would not be

agement.
Contrary to the experience of the

A Staple Medicine
 For All Families
From Infancy to Old Age Reliable Family Laxative Is Most Needed.
 Try This One

It is inconceivable in this day of general intelligence that any family would he without simple remedy for the minor ills of life. for often by giving such a remedy in time seri- ous disease can be frustrated and q life saved.
 For example, if at the first sign of cold simple laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin were given the beginning of a serious lung affection or of a typhoid fever might be avoided. And also in headaches, nervousness, etc. a small dose of this remedy would relieve the eongestion and replace distress with comfort. Mothers give 1t to tiny infants and little children, and grown people take 1t with equally good effect.
 Thousands of good American homes are never without 1t, among them the homes of Mrs. q. B. pruitt, Berea. Ky, and MT. T. $. Cox. of the Central Furni- ture Co, Gadsden, Ala, who say they would as soon be without the necessities as without Syrup Pepsin 1t saves the health of the family, and it saves doc tors bills It is a guaranteed cure for any form of stomach, liver and bowel trouble, constipation, indigestion, bil- lousness. gas on the stomach. headaches, drowsineSs after eating. etc. Have no hesitancy about giving it to any mem Der of the family, however young or old, for it contains nothing injurious to the youngest person.
