Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here Is a Simple Way OF Correcting
1t Instantly Before II Becomes
Chronic


Chronic.
Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injure themselves by the use
of strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
ters, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
1t is true, but the good effect Is soon
lost, and the more one takes of them
the less effective they become.
A physic or purgative is seldom ne
cessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind n high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be, a
mild laxative medicine. 1t Is so mild
that thousands of mothers give It to
tiny infants. and yet it is so COM
pounded, and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
stipation. In fact among the great
est endorses OF Syrup Pepsin are eld-
erly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to Benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is a fact that millions of fam
lilies have Syrup Pepsin constantly in
the house homes like those of Mrs. G.
b. Pruitt, Rerea, KY, who used DR..
Caldwell's syrup Pepsin as a laxative

ARKANSAS SENATOR DIES.
JEFFRIES DAVIS EMPIRES SUD-

He Gained NotOriety and Office by
Radical Talk and Rough and Tum-

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-United States
Senator jeff Davis died suddenly at
his home at 1 o'clock as the result
OF an attack of apoplexy.
Besides being a picturesque char
acter in Washington during his one
term in the Senate, which began in
1907. Senator Davis had the distinc-
tion of being the only man elected to
the governorship OF Arkansas three
times. Previous t. his seven years in
cumbency as governor of his state,
Mr.. Davis had been prosecuting at
torney of the Fifth Arkansas judicial
district and in 1898 was elected at
torney general of the State.
Mr.. Davis was born in Little River
county. Arkansas, in 1862 and receiv-
ed his education at Russelville, Ark,
and at Vanderbilt university, gradua-
ting from the latter institution in
1884. He was admitted to the bar
the same year and soon after began to
practice.

NEGROES TO BECOME EXTINCT.
so Declares Prof. Smith Basinp His
calculations on the Census Report
Figures.

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-"The negro
race in the United States will be-
come extinct in the year 2132, or 22O
years from date.
THE last black person will be a
negress, and she will die in the
South"
These are the statements just is
sued by Professor William Benjamin
Smith, a noted Southern educator who
occupies the chair Of philosophy in
Tulane University, New Orleans.
They come as a result of his study Of
the United States census report for
Louisiana, as recently sent out.
Never was there a more perfect
exemplification of the Darwinian law
of the "the survival Of the fittest,"
said Professor Smith, than in the
future Of the negro race, as foretold
by this census report. The negroes
as race will pass forever from the
United States in approximately 23O
years, and the last one of them will
be very mixed blood, probably
French and negro, so slightly imbu-
ed with the original African taint
that it will show only in her hair and
eyes.
The report shows he continued,
that among the whites of Louisiana
male births are gaining in proportion
10 the female-a sure indication Of
the virulency, permanency and stam-
ina of the whites. But the same re-
port shows also that among the ne
groes female births are increasing
over male This means the gradual
disintegration or dissolution Of the
black tribe.
information from other Southern
States, also contained in the census
report shows the same condition to
exist in other heavily negro inhabit-
| ed States.
If the negro race were in the as
cendacy, or even holding it's own,
male births would be at least equal
to the female births. From the fig
ures, therefore, there can be no other
conclusion except that inexorable law
of the survival of the best is coming
into its own, not only in Louisiana
but throughout the South.
The negro has come almost to

CAN'T PROMOTE COCKTAILS.
TAFT PLAN AROUSES STRONG
OPPOSITION.
Democrat and Republican Senator'S
hgrcc That Elevation of GOethals
and Dismissal OF Other Members of
Panama Commission Would be
Rank FayOritism.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Opposition Of
Democratic senators to President
Tatt's plan of putting Col. George W.
Goethals, builder Of the Panama
canal, at the head of the civil gover n
ment of the zone, took such proper
tions today that some of Mr.. Taft S
advisers urged him to forego the plan
and leave the creation Of the zone gov
ernment to his successor, President
elect Wilson.
Some who talked with the president
early in the day were convinced that
he would canvass the situation fur
ther before abandoning his plan. 9th
ers in close touch with the president
were positive that out Of consideration
for Col. Goethals, whom he does not
wish to involve in a political dispute,
he would give up the idea.
One feature of the plan, however,
If Col. Goethals is not put at the
head of the zone government, is to
place all employees of the canal work
under civil service by the PRESIDENT S
executive order few employees on
the isthmus already are in civil SER
vice, hut the great number Of the
canal workers have been appointd
by the isthmian canal commission.
The attitude OF the Democratic sem
ators is that the present canal COM
mission should not be displaced and
disorganized until the canal is COM
pleted.
'The bill authorizing the president
to organize a civil government for the
canal zone never could have become q
law, but for the assurance that there
would be no premature action" said
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. 1--WE
accepted this assurance as meaning
that the commission would be allowed
to continue its labors until construc-
ton should be finished and the water
running"
The Democrats further take the
position that the services Of all the
members OF the commission are need
ed still and they contend that to pro-
vide for Col. Goethals and summarily
dismiss all other commissioners would
be an unfair discrimination. General
ly they express admiration for Col
Goethals. Senator Smith went so far
as to say that he would favor con-
ferring all possible military honors
upon him.
But to lift him alone out Of the
commission for any purpose and leave
| the commissioners out Of considera-
tion and to deprive the country Of the
| service of the commission at what
may be n critical time, believe to
! be neither wise nor fair" Senator
Smith continued.
He said that many Republicans sen.
ators expressed this view, and he add
ed his conviction that if Col. Goethals
nomination should be sent in it could
not be confirmed at this time.
