When a child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and
mild laxative is very often all that Is

buoyancy of spirits.

effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many Of the best physicians arc
now prescribing DR.. Caidwells Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable III the case OF children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold

To some, each new spring comes
with the freshness of first one, and
there is an evanescent charm about
1t which no other season possesses
1t is long series of progressions,
beginning with the first soft southern
breeze, the melting Of the snow and
the earliest MARBLE of the pioneer blue
bird, tiny patch of sky flown down
to earth, the unlocking of mountain
streams, the soft pussy willow buds
and the twilight piping of frogs. There
is premonition and expectancy in the
air. Then, with alternating showers
and sunshine, the dreary-looking earth
takes on little by little fresh robe
of verdure, pale green at first, half
hiding the skeleton outlines OF the
trees and wrapping the landscape in
a misty dream of beauty. There are
varying shades; here and there where
there are oaks, splotches of brownish
purple, and along the hillsides great
masses of blossoms, dogwood and
judas tree and billowy reaches of
white and pink orchards All along
the way in dooryards are white and
purple lilacs loading the air with
fragrance, and the fields are spangled
with golden dandelions.

lumbia, he won two, Committeeman
Sidney Beiber going to defeat with
the Roosevelt delegation.
The finish of the long contest hear
ings was marked by incidents more
strongly indicative of the division be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces
than any in the preceding days.
In the end Col. Lyons was called
upon to fight a resolution for an in
yestigation and reorganization of the
whole structure of the Republican
party in Texas. Presidented by
Thomas L. Devine of Colorado. 1t
proposed a subcommittee OF three
from the national committee to at
tempt a change in the Republican or
ganization of the state that would
destroy the system of county represen-
tation described by the Taft attorneys
as a survival of the rotten borough
methods of England.
The Washington cases which con-
tinued almost to the last to engage
the committees attention before the
conclusion OF it's ten days work, were
preceded by a threatened personal
combat betyeen Francis J. Heney and
Committeeman Kennedy of North Da-
kota, which was prevented only by
the interference of their associates.

on that point are, as practically all
husbands will attest, based on what

When a wife, for instance, comes into
the room wearing new dress, with
smile on her face, and turns around
several times and asks him what he
thinks of the fit, he replies without
hesitation that it is all right-that he
likes the pattern exceedingly and that
he doesn't think he ever saw her wear
anything more becoming. IL, on the
contrary, she comes in with corrugated
brows and inquiries in distinctly dis
satisfied tone what he thinks OF the
dress, he instantly remarks that,
though it looks fairly nice, yet there
is still something about it that he
doesn't like. He can't say exactly
what it is that seems out of keller,
but there is certainly something
wrong with that dress and 1t ought to
