WOMEN AND HEALTH.

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 fol-
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, Is
a combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs 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.. Caldwellss Syrup Pepsin is q
tonic laxative, mild in its action
pleasant to the taste and positive IL
it's effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs fegain the
power to perform their natural func
lions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sole

THANKSGIVING PSALM
A Rhythmical and Grateful Chant.

A teacher in a Terre Haute public
school joins in the chorus:
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
relief.
Fer 3 years I struggled against al.
most complete exhaustion, getting
what relief / could from doctors ton.

had an attack OF la grippe and ma,
laria which left me too weak to con.
tinue my work. Medicine failed to
give me any relief, a change Of eli
mate failed. l thought 1 should never
be able to go back in school again.
81 ate enough food (the ordinary
meats-white bread, vegetables, etc.,
but was hungry after meals.
81 happened at this time to read an
article giving the experience Of an
other teacher who had been helped by
Grape-Nuts food. l decided to try
Grape-Nuts and cream, as an expert
ment. 1t was a delightful experience,
and continues so after a year and
q half of constant use.
First, I noticed that I was not
hungry after meals.
in a few days that tired feeling left
me, and l felt fresh and bright, in.
stead of dull and sleepy.
"In three months, more than my usual
strength returned, and l had gained Is
pounds in weight.
81 finished the years work without
any kind Of tonics-was not absent
from duty even half a day.

all who know me wondering at the I'M

Panics in Politics.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
William r. Hearst's declaration for
Wilson and Sulzer affords a big point
er on the outlook for election day.
Meanwhile further evidence Of the
lead which Woodrow Wilson is get
ting throughout the country is to be
found in the unanimity with which
both the Republican and the third
term orators are agreeing in assuring
people that g. Democratic victory
may be expected to produce panic
conditions in business. Men of busi-
ness long ago decided, while contem-
plating our magnificent crop report
that the time had come for fully di-
vorcing politics from business. rec
ognizing those great natural laws
which determine prosperity or the re-
verse for this country. Nevertheless
the Boston Post deems it best to fire
shot at the panic argument and
here it is:
Since the civil war three panics
nave hit the country. The first was
in 1873, under a Republican admin
istration and a high tariff The sec
ond was in 1898, under a Republican
administration and high tariff. The
third was in 1907 under a Republican
(moose) administration and a high
tariff. When the stand patters Of
either party begin to prate Of the
awful things that are to happen with
the success of Wilson and genuine
tariff revision. ask them politely but
firmly how 1t is that all the p3nics
since 1860 have been in the company
of high projections"
The reminder may hc deemed per
tincnt by some. but II is not ncces-
aary for a majority OF the American
people.

repeated. peasants circulated It; many
credited; few disbelIeved. Like

trace, save one-an overturned car
and severed rope at the foot of ths
poulain. without the Notifications. And
docking to that point, Of greater inter
est now than shrine or sanctuary, the
pilgrims gazed around; down the
rocks; up the almost perpendicular
plank!ng to what looked like q mere
pigeon-hole In the side of the cliff.
Then ominous grumblings escaped
them; some shook their fists at the
black wall; others scofred at distant
sounds Of priestly hallelujahs. Had

would have ensued. For the time.
