FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of it's different members is
most important, and the value Of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is a combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. CaldwelIs Syrul Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in it's
action on the bowels, yet positive IN
its effect. A dose Of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
Wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR. w. B. Caldwell,
POI Washington St., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

as to these jewels, you can just bet

him up a bit And he unloaded a
great funnel of smoke and continued:
MY theory is that during some
danger, some mandarins' war, likely,
somebody got cold feet about these
jewels and roped them in with these
bits of silk-see how different they
are from the rest of the stuff! Then,
when the roughhouse came, these pa
jamas were swept along in the sack
ing-sort of spoils of pillage, you

thought one of the rubies was worth.

he had looked at them But he sighed.

That's it! That's the trouble about

times the value of first water dia-

ImpracticabiIity.

This thing Of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan says the Popular Magazine. If
you don't believe it Miss Jane Adams,
the famous sociological worker of Chi
cago, will tell you a story to prove it.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy wom-
an who delighted in doing works of
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields, and on one occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon
after his arrival on the scene of his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph of himself
and his wife
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife, in order to win the con-
fidence of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it.,
The native dress consisted of a
piece of woven straw. two inches wide
and eight inches long.

Billings rudely What did your friend
