II Grows NlcotIneless Tobacco.

Gloucestershire, England, where
nicotineless tobacco is now grown,
used at one time TO supply the genu-
inc article. Both James l. and his
successor issued proclamations pro-
hibiting tobacco growing, but In 1861
it was grown in many English coun-
ties-notably in Worcestershire. In
the state papers OF that year there IN
a report from an officer sent to d.
stroy the tobacco crops around Chel-
tenham. He took a troop of 80 eul-
diers with him, but had to retire fsr

men guarding the fields.

to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion OF
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs Earl Dudley writes: Or.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I ever used. 1t cured my
baby of flatulency collie when the doc

constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." 1t is a
pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. 1t is mild, non-griping.

the recent decision of the Telephone Company to dispose of it's stock in the Telegraph Company in order that the two properties might be entirely in- dependent of one another in their management should occasion no mis- givings on the part of you or your organization. There is no reason that we can see why such beneficial plant and traffic relations as exist between us, and them should not be continued. The telegraph property is in much improved condition. Large sums out of earnings have been used to rebuild and rejuvenate the property.
