Charles Johnson sat doubled up
in IA knot in the federal courtroom
today rs his lawsuit was drawing
to close. lie is "a human wreck.
A beam fell on him as he was
helping to load ship, and he is
asking the American Trading COM
pany for $4,000.
The doctors say he cannot live
long, but $4,000 would help
ease off his few months. Possibly
it might secure expert skill and
save him. At least it could pro-
vide for his young wife and the
little blue-eyed baby of three
years that sat by his side in the
courtroom.
There was just CLINT of hope
in the eyes of Charlie Johnson as
the case was closing, and the at
torneys We're presenting the final
argument. His attorneys had pre-
sented the opening argument. In
the darkest moment of the argu-
ment of the defense deputy
sheriff of the county tiptoed up
to the knarled body of Johnson
and handed him paper.
1t was writ of ejectment
from his home.
For six years Charley Johnson
has lived in little cot he built
over on the tidelands near Gig
Harbor. He had planted his lit
tie truck patch and added such
conyeniences as he could. But
| the state asserted ownership of
the property, sold the tidelands
to Charles and Annie Lowrie and
Judge Clifford issued a writ OF
eectment for the crippled long
shoreman and it was served on
him as the final chapter was be-
ing enacted in court to decide
whether he shall have a chance
or whether he shall be trampled
under foot.
Without a home, with health
and strength gone, Charley john
son waits this afternoon for the
verdict of the jury.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health Is In
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss OF
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health Is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is far
preferable to salts. cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh In
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts or
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping OF
discomfort. It's tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DIR. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $10(
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DIR. w
