have it. They will complain Of head
ache, drowsiness or bilionsness. all
unconscious of the cause of the trou-
BILE.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once day. If you
pass day you are conStipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
cold easily or have more serious
allment. To cure the constipation
and forestall still graver trouble take
dose OF DR.. Caldwell'S Syrup Pep
sin at night before retiring and by
morning relief will come, without dis
turbaDce from sleep or any inconven-
ience.
Legions Of people use it regularly

There is nothing so destructive to

it's very life; eventually producing
feverishness and itching Of the scalp,
which if not remedied causes the hair
roots to shrink, loosen and die-then

Ghangeable Climate
IS A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE,

DR.. Hartman, Of Columbus, Ohio.
discusses an important health topic.
He says:
Yes, 1t Is the climate, not the germs,
that we have to fear in this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are OF some significance In
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate, Is the true cause Of disease.
The atmospheric pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms IN
the northwest. Moves rapidly SOUTH
east, subjecting millions of our
population to its influence. The re-
suit Is, thousands upon thousands Of
people catch cold. a small per cent.
OF these thousands do not get we'll of
their cold. 1t goes into pneumonia,
or chronic catarrh, or bronchitis. or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
NOW, what I am getting at Is this,
Ihese climatic changes are inevitable
NO one can prevent them. The very
pest we can do is to prepare for
them, defend ourselves against them
Good health IS the best preventive
The very best. Vigorous health, with
excess vitality. this Is Natures own
preventive and protection.
We do not all have this, however.
Some of US must have assistance.
The assistance that / use for myself,
would recommend for my friends TO
use. my neighbors and my country
men. Is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house. .." ...- -......'...
II the children indicate they are
catching cold, give them Pe-ru-na.
II the parents, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so well known which precede
a cold, few doses OF Pe-ru-na and
the deed Is done.
Some people are very subject TO
colds. Others who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather. take Pe-ru-na off and on
during the whole winter season.
The plan Is good one. The medicine
Is inexpensive. 1t does no possible
harm to the system. 1t Keeps the
appetite regular and keen. 1t as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the inclement weather of
winter.

els Lewis Clark, mili!,Laire, of Spo-

| 600 ransom in or near this city, ac

ceived by a morning newspaper.
Clark disappeared from Santa Bar
bara January II, after seeing his
wife on train, and was thought to
have committed suicide by his throw
ing himself in the ocean.
The letter demanding the ransom
for Clark's release was addressed to

not. He is we'll taken care of.
Yours, The Blackmailers."
Across the top Of the letter was
reply in the papers, as he is very
| anxious to get out"
Those who knew Clark intimately
are said to view the letter seriously.
Mrs. Clark was located last night at
Paso Robes, and over the long dist
ance telephone dictated the follow
ing reply to the note with the re-
| quest that it be published as de-
| manded in the letter.
Il want to communicate with you
fully, concerning my hush"nd's dis

that inspired the supposed kidnap-
ping. If my husband is held for ran
som | will entertain the proposition
contained in the letter addressed to

While the local police admitted
that the letter might be hoax, every
effort will be made to trace the wri-
