special grand jury July IL, 1911. The
jury in the first trial stood 9 to 3 for
conviction. The indictment covered
four propositions which were placed
before the public by Lewis through
the mails. 1t was alleged that he OBJ
tanned millions of dollars from inves-
tors by making misleading statements
in the advertisements in his publica-
tions. Lewis was the incorporation and
is the mayor of University City. a
residential suburb.
Lewis's defense was that the post
office department by issuing a fraud
order prevented him from carrying his
companies to a successful end. He
was acquitted May IA, 1908, of
charge of misuse of the mails in the
organization and conduct of the Peo-
pies United States bank.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly 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, IT.
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. Caldwell's 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 DR.. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.Ol

TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
Remarkable Chinese Holy Shrine
in Peking.
For Imperial Worship Only, and Cere
monies Never Witnessed by For
eianers-Customs of Centu-
ries Observed.

Peking, China-The Temple OF
Heaven is the most sacred as we'll as
the most beautiful of all Chinese re-
ligious edifices. 1t is used only Tor
imperial worship, and no foreigner
has yet seen the stately and elaborate
ceremonies that take place here on
fixed dates every year The buildings
of which it consists are situated in
large walled in park in the southeast
section of the Chinese city of Picking.
A broad stone paved road leads to
the temple from the Cinnamon, the
largest gate of the Tartar city. This
gate is exactly in front of the main
entrance to the imperial palace. The
massive doors at it's central entrance
are thrown open only when the en-
peror leaves his palace to visit the
Temple of Heaven or the Temple Of
Agriculture.
The park in which the Temple OF
Heaven lies is almost square in shape
and is surrounded by a stout, wall,
nearly four miles long. Inside it is
divided into sections by other walls
and the visitor is bewildered by the
number of gates through which he
passes when being shown round the
sacred buildings. At each he has to
pay a small sum to the gatekeepers,
who rely upon these tips as their
main source of income. Some of the
Enclosures contain majestic build
ings; others encircle the grazing
grounds of the sacred animals, reared
for immolation upon the temple al
tars.
The striking edifice, which is gen.
orally known as the Temple of Heav-
en-, but is called by the Chinese the
Temple of Prayer for the Year, to
which the emperor repairs each spring
to make offerings and pray for an aus
picious year for his people, is a land
