Overnight Relief
for Constipation
"A Small Dose ON Retiring
and You Are We'll and
Happy by Morning

II is only natural that the simplest
Of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and so we have whole nation
suffering from constipation and indi
gestion, for they are closely allied. But
common as constipation is many peo-
pie do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache
drowsiness or biliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a
dose of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morn
ing relief will come, without disturb
ance from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly in
such emergencies, some of them form
erly chronic invalids who have suf-
fered from constipation all their lives.
Mr.. A. B. Danner, 1876 Riley ST., Har-
risburg, Pa, says: "Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin gave me almost instant
relief from stomach and bowel trou-
BILE. / now eat anything l want, and

There With the Nerve"

The conversation led to the beauty
of having abundant nerve the other
evening, when Senator Clapp of Min
nesota told of a man who went into
fashionable restaurant, accompanied
by couple of children, and after
ordering a lemon soda, asked the
waiter to bring him three plates.
This, according to Senator Clapp, the
waiter did, but when he saw the man
take some sandwiches from his
pocket. put them on the plates, and
pass them around to the kids, he re-
ported the matter to the boss. What
are you doing?" Indignantly cried the
manager, rushing over to the sand
wich party. Don't you know that
this isn't free picnic ground, where
you bring your own food?" rs that

man, passing along another sandwich.

MAY Revive Old Law.

An old, forgotten law, enacted in
Kansas at a time of great need and
never used, is to be called into action
after lying dormant in the statute
books more than a third of a century.
1t is the old warning OUT law, made
to fight the grasshoppers after the dis
astrous raids of the locusts in the
early seventies. There never has been
a time when it was needed heretofore,
but Gov. George II. Hodges has been
petitioned to invoke it's use in central
Kansas to fight the chinch bugs, which

WEED HARMFUL TO WOMEN
Scientific Investigation Has Proved
That Tobacco Should Not Be Used
by the Fair Sex.

1t seems that at last purely physio-
logical reason has been found why
women Should not smoke, apart from
the very general prejudice which ex-
lists in this country.
Smoking says Dr. Hargrave, a
London physician, docs not have the
same effect on women that it does
on men. An imperious necessity felt
by most smokers to satisfy their pas
sion after eating is physiologically ex-
planned by the eXcitation of the sail
vary glands whose secretions, so use
full in digestion, the smoke augments.
Moreover, it has been shown that it
sterilizes the saliva and that this is
really beneficial from the viewpoint
of the possible infection from the
foods themselves.
But with women it is a serious con-
clusion reached from many expert
ments that few of them need tobacco.
While the proportion of men whose
salivary secretions were stimulated
and sterilized by smoking was very
large, the proportion of women, on the
other hand, was very small. Even
in women who have been habitual
smokers for years the action of this
weed was found to be less marked, in
fact, almost negligible
So apparently Dr. Hargraves is of
the opinion that women should not
smoke, because they do not need it.

To Clean Rubber.

A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned
by the use of automobile soap, jel-
lylike substance of dark color, which
can be procured at any automobile
supply store or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, as it does not injure
the finest finished material, but the
goods. The first step in cleaning is
to make a strong lather. Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over small portion of the gar
ment. Carefully wash off the soap
by sponging with clear water and pro-
ceed to next space to be cleaned. Dry
out of doors.
