We cannot all start life with the ad-

to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is. however, no occasion for
alarm and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion Of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark. the
proper remedy is DR.. Caldwel's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: Or.

constipation My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." It is a
pleasanttasting laxative, which every
person likes. 1t is mild, non-griping
and contains that most excellent OF all
digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially intended

After being in poor health for the last

1.-THE average home is and should be

For economically considered, marriage
is business partnership with two

What is spent on clothes serves,

TRACTION PL0N DOES
MUCH WORK VERY WELL
International Harvester Com.
paDy Represented

Cutting width of fifty inches and
moving at a speed of two and a quar-
ter miles an hour, a large motor en-
CINE operated this week upon the farm
of Mr.. T. B. Hooks, near Americas
demonstrates conclusively the advant-
age of the motor over mule power N
breaking up land, both from the stand
points of utility and economy Many
practical farmers who have witnessed
the excellent work thus done declare
that the motor engine does all that is
claimed for it; does better work, and
at one-third the cost of disc blowing
by mule power.
The engine, 25-horsepower mo
gull" purchased from Mr.. C. P. Tomp-
kins, of Americas, representing the In
ternational Harvester Company, at
cost of $4,000, pulls run of five disc
plows and does the same work as
twenty mules, pulling as many plow3,
does the work better and with more
regularity, and at considerably less
cost.
A comparison of the expense ac-
count in the operation of this kerosene
propelled engine and pillow is as fol-
lows:
Cost of engine, $4,000; daily cost for
kerosene, and man to drive the engine,
s., the engine consuming about thirty
gallons kerosene daily at a cost of IL
cents per gallon, $3.50; and allowing
$1.7O as wages for the two boys driv-
ing it.
Against this would be the initial
cost of twenty mules, estimated at S.
900, besides $1,000 for plows and
equipment. The cost of operating the
mules, for labor and stock feed, would
be SIS per day, as compared with IS
for operating the motor engine. Mr..
Hooks is preparing large field for

land thoroughly broken up. More eff
fective work in blowing could not be
done, and at such nominal cost. The
ground can be broken to a depth of
eleven inches, if desired, and additional
discs attached to the pillow beam. Mr..
Hooks uses his oil motor for various
farm purposes; hauling, blowing,
threshing, ginning and in driving his
sawmill, as it takes the place of any
engine of 25 horsepower.
Mr.. Tompkins states that it is the
purpose of the International Harvester
Co. to make Americas headquarters
for the sale of their engines in this
section of Georgia. A shop will.be es-
tablished here, in charge of a compe-
tent mechanician, who will look after
the upkeep of International engines
sold in this territory, a very decided
advantage. 1t is well worth the drive
of mile out Lee street to witness the
excellent work done by the Interna-
tional Harvester Company's engine on
the Hooks form; a revolution in farm
work in Sumter county.-Advt.
