VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Bellaire, Ohio. has been without sa-
looms for nearly five years Accord
ing to the argument of the VETS 1t
should by this time be dead as
door nail" But nowhere in the Ohio
valley" the Wheeling Intelligencer
tells US, can be found a buster or live
lier town than Bellaire. This fact is
plainly demonstrated every Saturday
night. All the stores along the main
streets were so crowded that progress
was almost impossible. One merchant
stated that the crowd in his store was
SO large the he, assisted by his corps
of clerks, could scarcely accommodate
them. This city is now on a straight
and rapid road of progress, and in a
few years will undoubtedly be the
foremost city Of the valley. The peo-
pie are becoming aware of the fact
that the money spent at home builds
up the town and makes 1t better
place to live In.

What So Precious
AS a Healthy Babys

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention

constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start 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 laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tons 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug, store for fifty cents or one
dollar bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
its mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and 1t Is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t Is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose its eff
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
In constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, ETC., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

GOT HER CHICKEN TENDER
All Right for Mrs. Newlywed, But
It Was Rather Rough on the
Butcher.

Mrs. Newlywed did not know much
about housekeeping and was always
cheated when she went to the nearby
butcher store after her supplies.
After particularly tough bird had
been with difficulty disposed of she
went once more to the butcher and
purveyor of macadamized meat and
said:
How many young chickens have
you today?"a
The butcher said: Il have but
three in the shop
81 want two of the toughest you
have" said Mrs. Newlywed.
The butcher was surprised, but
brought out two and assured her that
these we're the toughest in the place.
Had them there for week or more,
he said
WELL said the lady after much
thought, I'll take the other one,

Probably the finest example Of a
popular amusement and recreation re-
sort, as absolutely successful as 1t Is
dry, is Long Beach, Cal, writes a
w. c. T. U. woman of southern Cali
fornia. Since the voting out of the
saloon 13 years ago, she tells US, the
growth and development of Long
Beach has been both rapid and sub
stantial, the census returns for the
decade, 1900-1910, showing an increase
In population of 691 per cent. In 1900
the saloons were voted out by a
strong majority, and this position was
strengthened last January by an iron
clad no-license charter amendment
which prohibits hotel licenses and any
importation of liquor into the dry
territory.
In 1900 the bank deposits were
$4,000; children In schools, 1929;
homes, 62S; churches. four, and lum-
Der yards. one. Today, the bank de-
posits are $S,500,000; bank capital
stock, 100000; surplus. $412,757;
school children, $3.50; homes, 5,220,
and the single lumber yard has grown
to 10. Real estate values have ad-
vanced, in the business area, from
$3.50 lot to $4,000 in the IS years,
with corresponding gain In realty
In every direction.
So strong Is dry" sentiment in
Long Beach that including the 15 drug
stores not more than 20 people hold

DRIVER OR pRlNksHop2

A Chicago coroner gives it a. his
opinion-the result Of his experience
with joy-riding accidents-that men
who are out all night drinking whis-
ky and beer should not be trusted
to drive automobiles. If there is no
law, he says, under which a drunken
chauffeur can be locked up, the city
council had better get busy and make
one.
How would 1t be to lock up the
places which make drunken drivers?
Why not outlaw the thing which
makes the men incapable OF handling
a machine? The people CT Chicago
or any other city can do 1t. They
can see to 1t that no automobile
fatality is caused by drink. It's up to
the voter to get busy"

NEW USE FOR GARBAGE.

1t Is matter Of general knowledge
that whisky and beer are made from
all kinds of mill and factory refuse.
And now, 1t is authoritatively stated,
liquors are to be manufactured from
garbage. such an enterprise bids
fair to become an important industry"
the National Liquor Dealers Journal
tells US. Hereafter. remarks the Chi
cayo Daily News, there may be passed
over the mahogany bar the aromatic
highball, the pony Of brandy. and 9th
er alcoholic drinks, plain and fancy,
distilled from the city's garbage APP

WHY THEY WON.

The sporting writer of large east
ern daily tells of the first notable VIC
tories won by American athletes over
those OF England. An English team
had come to New York for an easy
time in maintaining their old-time su-
periority over all other nations. The
evening before the opening of the
events few of the Americans dropped
into the British headquarters and were
astonished to And several of them sip
ping ale. In reply to their express
sions of surprise the Englishmen pro-
tested: "Oh, we always drink ale, but
not much of it" In the ensuing con-
tests Great Britain was badly beaten
Sportsmen in the tight little isle are
now speaking seriously of the United
States rise in the athletic world, and
are beginning to admit that the Amer
lean system of no intoxicants and no
tobacco at all times must be adopted
In England If the mother country can
hope for the regaining of her lost
laurels.
