Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
It's effect, strengthening the muscles
Of stomach and bowels SO that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.O0 bottles. If you have never tried
it, write for sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

Teaching is a business which re-
Quires a great deal of brain and nerve
force. Unless this force is renewed as
fast as expended the teacher is ex-
hausted before the close of the year.
Many resort to stimulating tonics for

For years struggled against al
most complete exhaustion, getting

the cost of the new building is put
at 100000.
The second chamber of the riks-
dag, by vote of 100 to 40, requested
the government to abolish the custom
of awarding decorations of honor.
Nothing will be done, of course, but
the vote is a great surprise. The
main opponent of the motion, an edi-
tor named Hildebrand, argued that
If the decorations of honor were abOl-
ished money would soon become the
basis of social standing, as in Amer
ica and he would also impress upon
his hearers that decorations of honor
afford a cheap and practical way of
rewarding people, at home and
abroad, who have distinguished them
selves by noble deeds.
America has already been picked as
winner in the Olympic games at Stock
holm by those best informed across
the water. This in face of the fact
that never in the history of athletic
sports have athletics trained as hard
as they are doing right now in Swed-
en-. Never before has athletic train
ing been brought to such a system as
is in vogue throughout Sweden. Ern-
est W. Hjertberg is the man RESPONSE
BILE both for the training of the Swed-
ish athletics and the sentiments ex-
pressed as to Americas chances In
a letter Mr.. Hjertberg. who was prac-
tically selected as trainer in chief by
the Swedish government itself, said
that his charges are doing splendidly,
but that he cannot figure how any
other team in the world will be able
to down Uncle Sans strong men.
The detective police of Stockholm
made a rich haul when they captured
an American woman who enjoys the
reputation of having assisted success

port her observations to the gang.
Her real name is Mrs. James William

About one hundred Russian saw

George Lister, French Lapp, died
in a Lapp tent in Undersaker, Jamt-
land. He was born in France and
took part in the Russo-Turkish war.
After knocking about and leading a

old at his death.

LOGICAL Millinery.

People say there is no reason, no

The speaker was George AIDE. He
continued (the occasion was an after
theater supper in Chicago:
Hats, whether Easter or otherwise,
are full of logic, of reason. A lit
tie boy said to his father one day:

Southampton, April 19.-The widow
of Captain Smith, who went down

continually mutters, "The Olympic's

the Titanic.
Yesterday she wrote a pathetic mes
sage, which was posted today outside

follows:

The New York Press, one Of the
leading Republican newspapers OF the
country, T. also one Of the fairest in
matters Political. IT has been making
what appears to be an honest effort to
Ascertain the sentiment of voters Of
the party which It supports, relari ge
tsthelr presidential preferences. The
method 1t has adopted Is the sending
OF letters 10 Its Republican subscribers
In New York and throughout New
England. The result OF its canvas is
somewhat startling.
or the last T25 replies it received
from Republican voters, only $50 adj
vocated the reconciliation Of President
Taft, while 204 expressed preference
tor Mr. Roosevelt. But 1877 Of them
declared that they would not vote for
Taft If he were the nominee, and l27
declared they would not support Roosc-
welt II he were placed on the ticket by
the Chicago convention. In other
wores, either Taft or Roosevelt faces
detection OF upwards Of Is percent OF
the regular party vote, which would
count twice as much II east for the
Democratic candidate. IT IL the con-
clusion OF the Press. fully justified by
the facts, thar the loss OF Republican
votes by either Taft or Roosevelt would
.leavc his party cut to ribbons In vir-
tuaiIy every Republican state In the
East. y
A detection Of IT'S votes In every
Thousand in New York would mean
loss to that party of 10000 votes in
the state. Ifthey were transferred 10
the Democratic column, the Repubii-
can less would be $50, 900 Votes The
same ratio would mean loss In West
Virginia Of %, 900 votes, which would
reduce the Taft majority OF 1908, TO
5000 provided all the Republicans
who would not support the nominee
should keep away from the polls. II
they should vote the Democratic tick
ct, the Democratic nominee would CAR
nv the state ps 1900 votes A slnilar
floss Of kspas-I5csn votes throughout
the country would give Democracy
the electoral vote Of nearly every state
In the Union.
II the figures Of the Press are reliable
it looks like political suicide for the
Republicans to nominate either Taft
or Roosevelt. And rs there In no other
candidate whe stands the ghost'of .
show of securing the nomination, IL is
apparent that unless the Democrats
make very serious blunder, the nomi-
nee Of the Baltimore convention will
be the next president Of the United
States.
