This company was probably the first

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
Neglect of Important Function
May Seriously Impair
The Health

There are many people who believe
they suffer from, indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a con-
stipated condition.
Bloat. with its attendant mental de-
preston. sick headache, the belching
of sour stomach gases, etc. are fire.
Quently due TO inact!on of the bowels
Relieve the congestion and the trou-
BILE usually disappears. The use OF
cathartics and purgatives should be
avoided, however: these shock the
systeM unnecessarily and. at hest
their effect is but temporary. A mild
laxative is far preferable.
The compound Of simple laxative
herbs known as DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
fifty cents a bottle, Is highly recon-
mended. Mr.. Benz Basin. $50 Madison

Syrup Pepsin a wonderful medicine;
for four years he had severe case
OF indigestion and constipation before
trying DIR. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin.
which he Is glad to recommend to all
who suffer with stomach and bowel

the movement among American citi-

Willard said that an important fac

NO DIVIDED CITIZENSHIP.
Foreigners becoming American
citizens should be made to under

Why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system IS the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfnl
sleep, irritability and unless corrected
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-ce1ls while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
