More Exquisite Pleasure.

My brother had. in 1920 CT 1721, be-

jamin Franklin in his autobiography.

America and was called the New Eng

twenty. He went on, however, with
the undertaking, and, after having
worked in composing the types and
printing off the sheets, l was en-
ployed to carry the papers through
the streets to the customers.
He had some ingenious men among
mis- friends, who amused themselves
by writing little pieces for his paper,
which gained it credit and made 1t
more in demand, and these gentlemen
often visited us. Hearing their con-

Cat Only Living Thing on DereIIct.
From derelict ship cat was
rescued near Plymouth, England, a
few days ago. H. M. S. Donegal

Sleep of Plants.

Stahi, German botanist who gave
his attention to the attitude of the
leaves OF plants during the day as
compared with their attitude in the
night, noted that many plants take
such a position for the night that
their leaves can transpire easily and
at the same time be sheltered from
the dew.

AUSTRALIAN
BEEF CUTS
CAL. PRICE

LOS ANGELES, May 20. =
Lower prices for meat became a
realty today when the first ship
ment of Australian beef and NUT
ton was unloaded and placed on
sale here at 20 to 80 per cent be-
low the American prices.
AS well as lowering the price of
meat, the experimental shipment
is the opening wedge in having
Pacific coast cities made ports OF
call for the Union Steamship COM
pany of New Zealand, one of the
largest steamship companies in
the world.
The consignment included 50,-
600 pounds of beef and mutton.
Az quickly as the meat could be
unloaded it was sent to different
stores and placed on sale at prices
that ranged from 80 10c a pound
lower than the prices of the prime
grades of local meat.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
CrippIed-up Sufferers Find Re-
lief After Few Doses Of
Croxone are Taken.

It is needless to suffer any
longer with rheumatism. and be
all crippled up, and bent out of
shape with its heart-wrenching
pains, when you can surely avoid
it.
Rheumatism comes from weak,
inactive kidneys, that fail to fill
ter from the blood, the poison
GUS waste matter and uric acid;
and it is useless to rub on lini-
ments or take ordinary remedies
to relieve the pain. This only
prolongs the misery.
The only way to cure rheuma-
tism is to remove the cause. The
new discovery, Croxone, does this
because 1t neutralizes and dis
solves all the poisonous substances
and uric acid that lodge in the
joints and muscles, to scratch and
irritate and cause rheumatism,
and cleans out and strengthens
the stopped up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poison
from the blood, and drive it on
and out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find
1t different from all other RENE
dies. There is nothing else on
earth like it. 1t matters not how
old you are, or how long you have
suffered, 1t is practically impos-
sible to take 1t into the human
system without results. You will
find relief from the first few
doses, and you will be surprised
how quickly all misery and suf-
fering will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any first
class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to sell 1t on pos
tive money-back guarantee.
Three doses day for a few days
is often all that is ever needed to
overcome the worst backache or
urinary disorders.

WATCHMAN WINS
A DUEL WITH
TWO ARMED MEN

SPOKANE, May 20.-Discov-
cred in the act of setting fire to
the warehouse of the Standard
Oil company in the eastern part
of the city shortly before 2 O'Clock
this morning, two armed Grimm
ais engaged in a revolver fight
with Ben. F. Dean, night watch
man. Dean was dangerously
wounded in the left under arm.
Deans attention was attracted
by a strange light coming from
the warehouse, where great guam
titles of high explosives were
stored. The light of the fire re-
vealed two figures retreating.
Dean rushed upon them. The
next instant a shot was fired, and
Dean, revolver in hand, fell to the
ground, wounded in the left arm.
Dean raised himself to
crouching pose and opened fire on
the retreating forms.

Healthy Baby is
Precious Blessing
70 Make II Healthy and Keep 1t
Healthy Use a Reliable Baby
Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent at
tention to diet, babies and chill
dren will become constipated, and
II Is a fact that constipation and
indigestion have wrecked many a
young life. To start with a good
digestive apparatus is to start life
without handicap.
But as we cannot all have per-
feet 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 a laxative-tonic very highly
recommended by a great many
mothers. The remedy is called
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup-Pepsin and
has been on the market for two
generations. 1t can be bought
conveniently at any drug store for
fifty cents or one dollar bottle,
and those who are already con-
viI,ced of its merits buy the dol
lar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal
medicine for children, and it is al
SO very pleasant to the taste. 1t
Is sure in its effect and genuinely
harmless. Very little of it is re-
quired and its frequent use does
hot cause 1t to lose its effect, as
Is the case with so many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its
merits in constipation, indiges-
ton, biliousness, sick headaches,
etc. among them reliable people
like Mrs. M. Johnson, 752 Dayton
ct, Kenosha. Wis. She is the
mother of little Dorothy johnson
who was always In delicate health

rapid improvement in the health
of anyone. Syrup Pepsin is a
wonderful remedy and / shall
never be without 1t again. I"
Thousands keep DIR. CaIdwell's
Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, for every member of the
family can use it from infancy to
old age. The users of Syrup Pep
sin have learned to avoid cathar-
tics, salts, mineral waters, pills
and other harsh remedies for
they do but temporary good and
are shock to any delicate sys-
tenn.
II no member of your family
has ever used Syrup Pepsin and
you would like to make a person
