CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee did for him (Tea is just as
injurious because It contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
MY wife and drank our first cup
Of Postum little over two years ago
and We have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
/ had an attack of pneumonia, which
lett a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly. neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but l became convinced, after
4 time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. l happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
be suggested that l give Postum a
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
hciently. and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like it so much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing a food beverage instead of a drug.

MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'S branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my cot

nervousness and the blues. These

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With q Mid
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age Is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the
bowels that great care should be taken
to see that they act regularly The fact
is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome to most elderly people One
thing is certain, that state of CON
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it is suggested
that ,cathartics, purgatives, physics,
saltsiand pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to lie a shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take gentle laxative-tonic
IKE DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature as is
possible. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
to act naturally again, when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is tho opinion OF many
people of different ages. among them

Insurance measures took consider
BILE of the time in the house resulting
in the bills which tax both life and fire
insurance companies 1 IL per cent
on their gross premiums collected in
Arkansas. The bills have both passed
the senate and now await only the sig
nature of the governor to become a
law. The fire insurance taxation bill
was introduced by Senator Raney, and
the life insurance relief measure was
the product of Senator Woods. Both
bills were strenuously fought, but the
supporters outvoted the opposition.

Mr.. lobe, of Hampstead, began sew
eral days ago to file notice he would
raise a point OF order on every local
measure to be considered if it had no,
complied with the constitution, and
been advertised for a certain time in
the county effected, before the bill
was introduced. He caused several
of this kind to be sidetrack-
ed, among them a senate bill provd-
ing for a depot at Monticello, to be
erected by the Iron Mountain. Friends
of this measure went after Mr.. lobe
and asked that his notices be eX-
plunged for the records. When they
finished there was nothing on the rec
ord to show the notice had ever been
given, and the law regarding local bills
complied with. The record was gain
made to speak a lie"

Sammy Jay followed Farmer
Browns boy all the way through the
Green Forest scolding and saying i'm
pudent things to him. But he was
wasting his breath. Farmer Browns
boy didn't pay attention to him..
He just didn't notice him at all. OF
course, this made Sammy angrier than
ever but try as ne would no couldn't

You see, Farmer Browns boy was

about that splendid pond and that
splendid dam and that splendid
house and that splendid canal back
there deep in the Green Forest. and
how wonderful 1t was that they had
been made BY Paddy the Beaver. The
more he thought about it the nor his
respect for Paddy grew. 1t was the
respect for any Of the little meadow
and forest people, and it gave him a
queer feeling.
Why said he, talking aloud as he
walked along. ''If / should meet that
