Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures Of dyspepsia, but as few are SO
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter Of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
short walk after the heavy meal Of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Amy grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided
When these common-sense aids fail.
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there Is none better than DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form combination for the
relief Of dyspepsia or indigestion that

One Of the most interesting as well
as useful pieces OF work done in
Carter county this year has been done
BY Mrs. V. A. Niblack, who organized
the canning clubs among the girls.
These girls caught the inspiration
from their teacher, they have worked
we'll and the exhibit at the court
house shows what they have done.
Corn. peas, beans, onions, potatoes,
fruits, and a dozen other different
kinds Of vegetables have been canned
under the tutorship Of Mrs. Niblack.
This woman has done the work
without pay sufficient TO keep her
horse and buggy. The government
contributed a small sum, intending
that the people Of the county should
help some But the people Of the
county have given nothing for the
work except some prizes, and they
were not sufficient 10 add zest TO the
work
Mrs. NiblacG won by her enthusi-
asm, by her own love for the girls,
by her desire 10 be engaged in a
good work, and she has made the
sacrifice of her time and talent and
energy, and Carter county has reap
ed the benefit Every girl with
whom she has worked, every family
to whom she has brought new life
and new interests. should know that
she has worked from a spirit Of love
and not for the remuneration she
ought to have had.
There is no estimating what this
