Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor a quarter or a half cent of every
dollar they take in, most of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to Off
GERS and investigators for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert
of Denver, Colo, was condemning
these charities He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable George, to give
away?'
Its the agent of the Alpha lncor-
porated Charities that's at the door,

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be
picture Of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. II lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
ii is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re
quirements,, is DR.. Caldwelfs Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. 5.
Vance. of 511 S. Ray St, New Castle,

eestion so severe that she thought she
would die Syrup Pepsin regulated her

utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
