Well.knoWn Fact That Extreme
Heat Conduces to Chronic
Constipation.

The disposition to eat cold food and
indulge In iced drinks Is one reason
why constipation and diarrheoa is SO
prevalent In summer, and there is no
time when people should more care
fully avoid bowel disturbances, as
much serious disease Is directly trace
able to these conditions. We need all
OF our strength to Withstand the
enervating effect OF heat.
To regulate the bowels and quickly
relieve even the most aggravated case
Of constipation, the combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, is highly recommended by all who
have ever used 1t. Unlike cathartics
and violent purgatives, DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin acts gently on the
stomach, liver and bowels, without
gripping or other discomfort, bringing
relief in an easy, natural manner. 1t
can be Used with perfect safety by the
most delicate woman or child, and yet
is equally effective for the strongest
constitution. Mild, pleasant to take,
and inexpensive, 1t Is the ideal family
laxative. BY cleansing the bowel tract
thoroughly and eliminating the for.
eign matter and poisons that irritate
and inflame, it will quickly check sum-
mer diarrhoea and restore normal
conditions.
Druggists sell DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin tor fifty cents bottle-a

CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS NOW
Five Cents in the Plate Now
Day of the Penny Gone.

"Everything has gone up" said Mr..
Graytop, Everything. You take, for
Instance, church contributions, the
money that we put in when the plate
is passed around.
Nowadays the minimum, the small
est amount that we could put in or
that we'd want to put in would be
five cents, nickel, wouldn't it?
Surely; no matter who it was, nobody
would think of putting in less than
nickel now; but in my younger days,
before the war, the standard cOntri-
button of the run of respectable per-
sons of moderate means was one cent,
penny; and the contribution plate
was commonly called the penny plate.
"In those days, just the same as
now, the plates were passed by dea-
cons or other officers of the church,
one to each aisle OF course We had
then, just as We do now, some in the
church who had more money than 9TH
ers and these would put in more,
half-dime or dime or quarter or
half-dOllar, and sometimes some
body would put in bill, but silver
coins were not over numerous and
bills were rare.
"Our folks were not rich, as mat
ter of fact we had no money except
what my father earned, but though
we were not rich we were self-respect-
ing, God-fearing people and We always
went to church and the children went
to Sunday school. We had in our
church quite number of people COM
fortably well off and two or three who
were in those days called rich, but
there were more people like us.
"Of course we contributed some
thing more than pennies to the sup
port Of the church, We paid our pew
rent at the fixed price and occasion
ally there were special calls when we
contributed more, whatever we could
afford or thought we ought to give,
but our standard, regular contribu-
tions On Sundays were in pennies. We
children took each penny to Sun
day school. When the plate was
passed in church we put pennies in
that.
CAS- we grew older our father would
give more than one of us pennies to
put in the plate and then there was
a larger contribution from our pew,
but still in those days our church con.
tribution, as l am trying to set forth,
was in pennies"

said at recent fish dinner:
"The successful fisherman is the
man who can take advantage even of
adverse things-head winds, storms,
blizzards, and so on.
In word, the successful fisherman
is like the little boy who entered the
poulterer's shop and said:
rs it true that there's a turkey
trust, sir?'
Yes, my boy, I am sorry to say 1t
is true there is turkey trust the
poulterer replied.

for a plump young turkey of nine
