Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
Regular Bowel Movement from
Childhood on ForesfdHS Future
Serious Diseases

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
born Is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of a baby its tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing 1t great suffering.
II the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There Is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but 1t should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion Of a
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: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I aver used. 1t cured my
baby of f~latulency collie when the doc
tors failed; it cured my husband OF
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." 1t is a
pleasant-tasting laxative. which every
person likes. 1t is mild. non-griping,
and contains that most excellent of all
digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially intended
for infants. children, women, old peo-
pie and all others to whom harsh
cathartics. salt waters. pills, etc. are
distressing. In fact. in the common
disorders of life, such as constipation,

 OF ARKANSAS MAN
Robert Hughes Is Found at Bottom of Memphis Firms Elevator
 Shaft.

Memphis, Aug. 6.-Robert Hughes. aged 90 years. a wealthy planter and lum5erman. after whom the town of Hughes. Ark, was named, was found dead this morning on the basement floor of the elevator shaft of a Main street furniture store.
 Hughes entered the store Tuesday afternoon and asked to be allowed to use the telephone. His request was granted. It is supposed that he fell down the elevator shaft and was so badly hurt that he could not utter a cry. He may have been killed out right
 The store was closed Tuesday night and no one thought of the old man. This morning when the place was opened for business several went to the elevator and discovered the body. The man had been dead some time
 His son, J. M. Hughes, was notified of his fathers death and the remains will probably be taken to Hughes Ark, for interment.
 The deceased owned a vast planta- tion at Hughes and is reputed to be worth from $100,000 to $1,OOO,00O.

Myers resigned June 24. and had Dr. Ellis accepted the place at S3,600 a year he would now be the superintendent. It is generally known here that Dr. Ellis has practice bringing him an income equal to the combined salaries of superintendent and medical director. If the govern ment does lot see fit to combine the salaries it is probable that Dr. Ellis Will not consider the appointment.
