THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily, or Is
.retful, 1t is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
Ouoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimUlant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
Iy 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 1t especially de-
sirable in 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
by druggists everywhere in soc and
H.00 bottles If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Mon
hcello, ILL.,, for sample. He will be
very glad to send trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

The rural districts are being de-
populated of peaceful citizens as
rapidly as the limited transportation
facilities permit. Devastation is the
chief occupations of both rebels and
guerillas. The country has been set
back FIVE years and bitter race hatred
aroused.
The details of the warfare in many,
instances are unprintable. Instead of
civilized warfare, it is anihilation and
a majority of those being killed are
not insurrectos, but unarmed blacks
who took refuge in the brush.

Another condition which invites
corruption is the demand of the gov

interests make contributions to sup
port the volunteers. Such a demand
has been made on G. Peterson, gen
eral manager of the Guantanamo
Western railroad, and others. 1t is
admitted that Gomez has no money
to combat the uprising. Some days
ago congress voted an appropriation
of $1,00O,0O0, but the treasury is

CROSS-STATE ROAD IS MARKED
SIGNS PLACED ON GOLDEN BELT
ROUTE IN KANSAS.
First Highway in the State to be
Finished-Much Interest in
improvement Work.

Abilene, Kansas.-The first Kansas
motor highway on which signs have
been placed marking every turn is
the Golden Belt road from Kansas
City to the west line of the state,
where it connects with the Colorado
highway to Denver and Colorado
Springs. More than $50 road signs
and 175 danger signs have been
placed. The road signs are 12x1S
inches on enameled iron with the
words Golden Belt Road" in yellow
letters against a blue background.
The danger signs have the word
Danger" in yellow letters on blue
background. The signs are placed on
iron posts painted yellow and every
turn is marked by two road signs.
Preceding each, three telephone
poles or fence posts are marked with
yellow bands to indicate a turn.
In addition to the road signs, most
of the cities have erected large town
signs 10x12 feet, giving the name of
the town, population, distance to the
next town in each direction and any
important facts about the city. This
gives the tourist a perfect guide en-
tirely across the state.
The Golden Belt road starts with
rock road for ~ miles out of Kansas
City to Bonner Springs. This road
probably will be continued in the
present year to Lawrence. Thirty
miles further is Topeka, the capital.
Under the new road laws of Kansas
counties are authorized to lay out
county roads to be kept up at county
expense, and many of the counties
along the Golden Belt road have de-
signated the route followed by this
highway as a county road, and much
work is being, done to put it in per.
feet condition.

TAFT GIVEN 173; ROOSEVELT 10
Weeks Work Ends With Presi-
dent in Lead.

Chicago, Ill.-Thirteen delegates
for Col Roosevelt and 173 for Presi-
dent Taft marked the total gains of
the two chief rivals for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination, from
the decision of contest cases by the
Republican national committee. In
addition, the committee settled dis
putes between rival Roosevelt factions
in two districts of North Carolina,
thus clearing the colonel's title to
votes from those sections.
Missouri's contests, which threat
ened another battle between the Taft
and Roosevelt factions in which the
lines would be closely drawn, were
compromised so effectively that the
committee was unanimous in giving
Roosevelt eight and Taft six of the
contested delegates from that state.
At the end Of a week of constant
work over the contested delegations
the committee has given President
Taft a total Of 173 delegates and Col.
Roosevelt total of 10.
