BARLEY wATER FOR GEORGE.

BARLEY WATER FOR GEORGE.
 The favorite tipple of King George of England is barley water, although there are times when he toys with lemonade, ginger ale, soda water and fruit cups. His indulgence in wines appears to have been limited in the past to perfunctory sips not oft repeated. His views on al- coholic drinks-we might have guessed 1t are shared by the Queen Now that the King is expected to set a good example to England by strict teetotalism, he may drink deep of barley water for the sake of his country. The Kings beverage may have excellent qualities, but no doubt the average person in this country com pelled to act as a paragon of "dryness'' would prefer grape juice highball.

Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive

Says Simple Laxative
Better than Castor Oil
Case of Chronic Constipation
Yields to Mild Laxative
Compound.

Writing from The House Of the Good
Shepherd, at Sunnyside Ave. and 5th
st., Seattle, where she is the guest of
her lifelong friend the Reverend
Mother, Mrs. Mary Austin, widow of a
wealthy San Franciscan. who lost ev-
erything in the fire of 1906, says she
experienced speedy relief from the use
of DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and
that she found this gentle. pleasant
tasting laxative more effective than
several doses of castor Oil.
The active principles of certain lax
alive herbs are combined in DR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin to act on the
eliminatixve organs in an easy, nat
ural way, without gripping or other dis
comfort. Its freedom from opiate or
narcotic drug of every description,
combined with it's gentle action and
positive effect, make it the ideal lax
alive for family use. Druggists every
where sell it for fifty cents bottle.

Pin,ples Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom fails

Any druggist can supply you with zemo,
which generally overcomes all skin dis
eases. Acne, eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes. black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
tshes disappear overnight. Itching usu-
easy to use and dependable. 1t costs only
25c; an extra large bottle, 500. It
will not stain, is not greasy or sticky and
Is positively safe for tender, sensitive
