EAST JORDAN PEOPLE
PRAISE SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many in East Jordan praise the
simple mixture of buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka.
This remedy is the most THOROUGH
bowel cleanser ever sold being even
used successfully in appendicitis. ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE
of constipation, sour or gassy stomach.
ONE MINUTE after you take it the
gasses rumble and pass out. Adler-i-ka
cannot gripe and the INSTANT action
is surprising.-James Gidley, druggist.

Permanent Relief for
Chronic Constipation
KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE OF
CORRECT DAILY HABIT THE
GREAT ESSENTIAL.

Constipation is a condition affecting
all classes of all people and can be per
manently relieved U1;y by acquiring
habits of regularity
The most natural time for the elm
nation process is in the morning
when both the muscular and nervous
systems are relaxed by sleep and rest
When relief does not come readily
it is an excellent plan to take mild
laxative at bedtime. Cathartics and
purgatives that by the violence of
their quick action shock and disturb
the system, should not be employed
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not grippe or otherwise disturb the
organs involved, is found in a combi-
nation of simple laxative herbs known
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that
can be bought at the drug store for
fifty cents a bottle.
Mrs. G. c. Allen, 215 Foam street,
Monterey, Cal, wrote to DR.. Cald-
we'll that she found DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin just what was needed

thsnkless and patriotic work done by
the national guard since it's organiza-
ton in 1903 is given recognition by
the provision that any individual of
the guard shall be entitled to admis-
sion TO the continental army without
loss of grade or any unit without
change in personnel
The national guard itself is to re.
ceive an increased appropriation from
the federal government and to be
transferred from the first to the sec
ond line of defense.
The cost Of the system when in com.
plete working order is put at $780,
100000 a year In addition, it is esti-
mated that the necessary material
can be purchased for $104, 100000, to
be paid out in four annual INSTALL
ments.
The increase over the present cost
Of the army and the national guard
is small The gained efficiency is
great. There is no menace to republi-
can institutions. There is marked
improvement in the protection afford
ed the country and its possessions.
Really it does not appear that the
opposition of Mr.. Bryan was needed to
cause the plan proposed by Mr.. Carl
son and approved by the president to
commend itself to general and gener-
GUS approval.

Booker 7. Washington.

When any man scales the heights
of eminence and becomes the fore
most leader of his race, he has achiev-
ed real distinction and at once be-
comes a national figure and a mate
rial factor in his country. When he
does that under such difficulties as
beset Booker T. Washington, the not
ed colored leader, who passed away
at his home in Tuskegee on Sunday,
then his work assumes its place in
the rank of the really wonderful DR..
Washington belonged TO that class Of
men who have trained themselves to
the constructive things in life; he be-
lieyed in building up and not tearing
down. He was a strong character
and he drew upon all of his power,
that his race might better its condi-
tions and at the same time, so live
as to merit and command the respect
of the Southern white man, whom he
regarded, after all, as the truest and
best friend the negro has, or will
ever have
He taught the Southern negro to
cultivate his hand and keep his heart
clean, to learn the lesson of thrift
and to migrate as much as possible
from city to country and till and own
the land and his forty acres and a
mule. His work at Tuskegee 10 our
mind has been one of the most Won.
derful developments this country
ever witnessed and the fact TIL
Washington went about that
