How to be Certain of
 Curing Constipation

Prejudice is a hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours. prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to est of people suffering from chronic constipation. and it is worthy of their attention.
 In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by brief use of pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of 1t before. but do not doubt it's merits on that account. or because it has not been blatAntly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom- their children today who were given it by their parents. and 1t has been truth fully said that more druggists use it personally in their families than any other laxative.
The Prescott daily news., 1912-12-04

Letters recently received from Oracle Helton. Udora. Okla. and c. w. War ren. keo. Ark. are but a few of thou sands showing the esteem in which D~. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is held. It is mild. gentle. non-griping-not violent. like salts or cathartics. It cures gradually and pleasantly so that in time nature again does it's own work without out side aid. Constipated people owe it to themselves to use this grand bowel specific.
 Anyone wishing to make trial of this remedy before buying 1t in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or ono have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing pr. ". B. Caldwsit 4o5 Washington, St.. Monticello Ill. Your name and address on . postal card will do.

A remarkable state of inefficiency and

Weapon Carrying in Canada.
From the Montreal Star.

From the Montreal star.
Saturdays wholesale cOhfiscation OF IL
licit weapons in Montreal is a good be-
ginning, but only a beginning. in a
reformation urgently needed. 1t Is not
enough to deprive the potential murderer
occasionally of his instrument of crime;
there must be effective means to prevent
him from continually and easily renew
ing his supply.
The Toronto police have been conduct
ing a vigorous campaign against the
carrying of offensive weapons by for
eigners, and they claim that fewer
weapons are now carried by the foreign
ers of the Queen city than was the case
year ago. They have been assisted in
their campaign by a new law passed by
the Ontario legislature against the sale
of offensive weapons. and by an en-
forcement of the requirement that
license must be secured for the carry
ing Of a revolver. Crimes of violence
have by no means ceased among the
foreigners, but they have decreased, and
the police give the credit to these two
influences.

Bryan and Sulzer.

The national leaders of the democratic
party are greatly interested in the New
York campaign. for two reasons: % The
state is highly important in the presi-
Dental equation. and (2) William Sulzer,
from his long service in the House. is
we'll known to and we'll liked by all Of
them. They sincerely desire his success
next month.
Among the men who will visit the state
and speak for the democratic state ticket
are Mr.. Wilson and Gov. Marshall. Mr..
Underwood. Gov. Harmon, Senators
Bacon and Hoke Smith. Gov Mann of
Virginia. and Representatives Henry of
Texas and Clayton of Alabama A nota-
bic list, and capable of doing Mr. Sulzer
much service.
But where is Mr.. Bryan? Why is his
name absent? Why is he not to stump
In behalf of a man who has shown such
faithfulness to him. and for whose well
fare he feels the nvefiest concern?
No democrat in the country has
record to compare with that of Mr. Sulzer
in devotion to Mr.. Bryan and what is
called Organism. 1t was easy for SOUTH
ern and western democrats of prominence
to support Mr.. Bryan in 1896. because
their sections had long been strongholds
of free silver. To the extent that they
strengthened Mr.. Bryan they strengthen
strong local tide.
But In New York city the democrat who
that year declared for Mr. Bryan and
the free silver platform took his political
life in his hands. He was regarded as
either stupid. or disloyal to his people,
He was lending aid to a man who had
in view pulling down the interests of
New York and the country. If such
man was in office, out with him; il
seeking Office, let him be denied
Mr.. Sulzer was in office-a member of
Congress-but he stood up for Mr.. Bryan
and all that Mr.. Bryan represented. He
both spoke and voted for the Chicago
ticket. His course was quoted against
him. but he managed to keep his place.
and has since kept it. He was as strong
a Bryan man In 1900 as he had been in
1896. and as strong in 1908 as he had
been in 1900.
Mr.. Sulzer is a Tammany man, and
Mr.. Bryan has three times co-operated
with Tammany. Judge Parker is for
Mr.. Sulzer, and in 1904 Mr.. Bryan
stumped for Judge Parker for President.
True. in Baltimore in June Mr.. Bryan
clashed with both Tammany and Judge
Parker, but what is little thing like
that between friends?
The chances are that an invitation
wound fetch Mr.. Bryan to the scene in
short order. Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Sulzer has his eyes on the White
House. and his election to the governor
ship Of New York will develop him as an
eager presidential candidate strong in
geographical position and local patronage.
