Positive Relief
 For Constipation

The progress of modern medical
 science is, perhaps, no moro force fully evident than in the simplify ing of many of the old-time rem edies of past generations. For in-
 stance, the harsh cathartics and
 violent purgatives used by our forefathers to relieve constipation are now known to be not only un-
 necessary but really harmful. Con- stipation can be more effectively
 relieved without the discomfort
 and pain these old-time remedies occasion.
 A ombination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of pr. Cald-
 wells Syrup Pepsin is most effect i've, yet mild and pleasant. It is ab- solutely free from opiates and mar cotics and equally as desirable q remedy for the tiniest babe as for
 Z rugged manhood. A free trial bot ) tie can be obtained by writing to ! pr. w. B. Caldwell, 452 Washing ton St., Monticello, Ills.

HAVE YOU HAD THE GRIP?

The debility and depression following m attack of the grip is not fancied disorder. "Post-grippal neurasthenia" is the medical name for this condition and it's seriousness is recognized by all medical writers.
 One authority oays: Broadly speak ing, every victim Of the grip will suffer from post-grippal neurasthenia also. Lowering of nervous tone, with increased irritability is the most striking effect of the disease, with languor of mind and body, disturbed sleep and vague pains in the head and elsewhere"
 Every sufferer will recognize the symp- toms. What is the remedy?
 After the fever has passed and the in- fuenza has subsided the diet should be more liberal but be limited to articles easily digested; rest and sufficient sleep are essential and Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the only medicine required in most cases. This treatment should be con- tinued until the patient is completely restored to normal health and spirits. It is specific treatment and rarely if ever fails.

 Secretary Patton Thanks Church.

AoCSAO~Aly
 Expressions of appreciation, when any particular piece of work has been faithfully accomplished, are always In order but are all too infrequently uttered in our busy and prosaic life. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Congregational church, has re- ce1ved most courteous and refresh Ing letter from Secretary Patton of the American Board in which, among other things he says:
 Please tell the people of your church that their gift has been re- ceived and that the officers of the board are exceedingly grateful for tn1S help. These are serious times for us and it brings much encourage ment to have churches like yours stand up for foreign work and showing interest in such practical ways. I note with satisfaction that your offer ing last year went ahead of other years by quite sum- May a great blessing come to you in your local work in return for this blessing which you are sending far away
 The sentiment among the mem bers of the church is that this simple human word of appreciation is more  for support from the officers.

 Asked by Prosecutor Gibney as to how he sustained a deep cut in his right hand, he replied that he fell on the back stairs and cut his hand on broken whiskey bottle.
 How did Smith get that cut on his head?" queried the prosecutor Did he fall on the steps, too?' Beck man said he didn't know, but yentured that he bumped his head on the edge of table as he fell.
 Consta ble Polo testified that the blood was flowing freely from the wound on Smiths head and the cut on Beckman's hand when he arrested them. In his opinion there was no doubt but what they were inflicted by the glass from the bottle Beckman wielded
