There must be genuine merit 10 al article that has stood the test ol two generations of users.
 In the field of medicine none mas had greater success, nor retained that success to a greater degree, than pr. Oaldwell's Syrup Pepsln. which IS now being used by three generations of people. It's use in families IS constantly becoming more general. The reason, primarily, is that 1t has merit. It is what it represents ltsell to be, laxative-tonic; it does nos make exaggerated claims nor use coarse language to set it's virtues.
 It is medicine, but so mild and gentle a medicine that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet, in slightly larger dose, It IS equally effective for groWn-ups, IL is for any disorder of the stomach liver or bowels, for constipation no matter how chronic, for dyspepsia no matter how severe, for biliousness, sour stomach, gas on the stomach, headaches, droWSinesS after eating and similar complaints arising from a clogged-uD condition of the bowels. It is pleasant to the taste and does not gripe. It can be used with safety and good results by anyone at any age or in any condition of health, and that persons health will improve. Every druggist sells it and the price is only fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.

KEY MEN MAY STRIKE TODAY Said That Unless Cotton Belt Grants Demands Walkout Will Occur. DEPENDS ON BRITTON Railroad Is Preparing New Schedule to Become Effective May 1,
 But Acceptance Is
 Doubted.
DEPENDS ON BRETON

Unless the Cotton Belt officials submit to the schedule proposed by the telegraph operators, it is very likely that a strike will be had today strike vote was taken by the oper- ators some few days ago and, it is said, that 95 per cent of the employees were in favor of strike, if they de- mands were not met.
 If President Britton says the Cotton Belt will not agree to the schedule asked for, a strike order will be is sued and it is possible that the local telegraphers will walk out today, but if President Britton seeks further arbitration, the strike will be post poned for several days.
 An order has been issued by the company to the effect that a new schedule is now being prepared and will become effective May 1. Whether it will be accepted it not known.
 Should the strike be called, Pine Bluff and Texarkana will be made the striking telegraphers' headquarters. It is said that in case the men do walk out, there will be little or no delay in the train service, as recently the telephone system has been estab- lished by means of which train orders are transmitted, and, it is reported that the company has secured num- Der of men to put in place of the op- orators should they strike.
 According to Deputy President Charles F. DeBus, the operators are ready to quit at moments notice Eight deputy presidents stationed at cities throughout the Cotton Belt ys- tenn, are ready to receive the strike orders.
