BaIky Horses.

Whenever you see balky horse you
may be sure that the fault lies with
the man who trained him, or who
overloaded him, or beat him. or in
some way robbed him of part of his
senses. No horse balks from pure
meanness. much as we may sometimes
think so, and we have never yet dis
covered anything that will cure a
balky animal Occasionally a fine
tempered beast may be coaxed and
petted until his fear or anger is al
layed and be taught to do his share of
the work. but as a rule the horse that
balks in the harness should never be
used except under the saddle.

Healthy Baby is

To Make Ii Healthy and

liable Baby Laxative

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated. and it is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
star life without handicap.
But as We cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great

DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsjn and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. 1t can be bought conveniently

Slready convinced Of its merits buy

Its mildness makes II the ideal medi-
icine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. It is sure in
its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little of 1t is required and its
frequent use does not cause II to lose
its effect, as is the case with SO many
other remedies
Thousands can testify to its merits

PLAN TO LOWER FOOD PRICES
Formation Of Society by Citizens
Would Afford Farmer Market for
Selling His Products.

While the high cost of living is the
leading topic of the present time and
while we are confronted with our high
priced market conditions, II has been
suggested by many that IL the middle
man or commission man was driven
out of the market and the farmer CIV
en- free rein IT would remedy the con-
ditions and bring us lower prices.
l cannot see how when we consider
that farmers surrounding Indianapo-
lis within reach Of the market do not
raise half enough fruit and vegetables
to supply the market, writes George
]. Dudley in the Indianapolis News.
This would leave the other half to be
supplied by the commission men un-
der present conditions. Does anyone
believe that under such conditions we
can get lower prices?
When we can consider that supply
and demand regulate the price of all
commodities with very few exceptions
and also the fact that human nature
is to get all 1t can we can see that
Tic Ochu hCCP bhC sup
ply short and give the farmer a
chance to raise prices, which he GER
tainly will do, as / have never heard
of a farmer going to the market and
not trying to get all he can for his
produce.
There is only one solution, and that
is to bring on competition. This can
be done by the citizens joining togeth-
er and organizing stock company
somewhat on the order of the Citi-
Gems Gas company, establish a large
provision and supply house, call it
the Citizens Provision and Supply
company" for the purpose Of selling
to consumers direct only, at a small
profit, just enough to pay expenses.
and about ten per cent. interest to
the stockholders on their investment
This would bring prices down at
least 25 to rs per cent. and would
practically establish a retail price for
all the dealers in the city. This would
also give the farmers a good whole
sale market and would not prevent
them coming to the city market TO sell
at retail. Being the original produc-
ers, they could certainly compete.

URGING GREAT SALE
OF CANNED FOODS

Dealers, grocers, jobbers and manufac-
turers all over the country are joining
hands during the week OF March 3lst to
April 9TH in an effort to acquaint house,
wives with the economy and quality of
canned foods.
1t is now a well known fact that heat
is the only preservative used in preparing
these economical foods. The cans are
sealed and sterilized at q temperature Of
$50 degrees. which prevents any contami-
nation and keeps the contents fresh and
wholesome as the day the tins were filled
in the canneries.
National Canned Foods Week, during
which dealers and grocers will make
canned foods their sales-features, Is for
the purpose of demonstrating to house
wives that the cost of living can be cut
with such foods, and that they may be
served in hundreds OF delightful ways,
and thus served daily without monotony.
The farmers wife especially finds II adj
vantageous to relieve herself of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en-
able her to do this and at the same time
improve the quality OF her meals.
Women in every community should OBJ
serve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting in a sup
ply. The saving and general satisfaction
In the use of Canned Foods is entirely
worth while.-Adv.
