Rafael Palma, Vincente Ilustre and Jaime C. De Veira, members of the Philippine commission, attended the funeral

Appetite Follows
 Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and the digestive organs are abused, resulting in conges- ton of poisonous waste that clogs the bowels and causes much misery and distress.
 The most effective remedy to correct this condition is the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. This is na- tural pleasant-tasting remedy, gentle yet positive in action, and quickly relieves indigestion, consti- patton, sick headache, belching, , etc. Drug stores sell Dr. Caldwell S Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and in thousands of homes it is the indispensi ble family remedy. For a free trial bottle write pr. w. B. Caldwell, 4 52 Washington St, Monticello, Ills.

rights in the use of the town hall by all political parties will not appear on the town records as instructions from the recent town meetings Town Clerk R. C. Usher, concurring in the opinion of Chairman Freeman and other citizens having q knowledge of parliamentary rules, declares that both votes have no legal standing as the questions were not included in the call for either sessions.
 The voters were permitted to act on them simply to show the sentiment of the meeting, MT. Usher maintains, and consequently they do not consti- ute any part of the record of the meetings.
 Failure of the officials to recognize the votes is a blow at the socialists, members of that party having been responsible for the introduction of both resolutions.
 The selectmen have decided to ig- nore the action of the meeting in ordering them to take the necessary steps to acquire the water company s plant. The board has also ruled that the socialists may have free use of the town hall for rallies and other meetings during prediction cam paigns, but must pay the usual charges at all other times.

for the Cows.

The many feeding Inquiries which
We receive from the South asking us
to formulate rations Of cottonseed
meal and cottonseed hulls ~ the
chief feeding stufs. would lead us to
believe, II we did not know otherwise,
that alfalfa or any other legume
could not be raised. We know that
cowpeas. soy beans. lespedeza, al-
falfe and the like row like weeds In
the South and It Is one OF the mys-
teries OF the world why these crops
r not more generally grown, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Cows do not do
their best work when fed q large
amount of c~ottonseed meal and when
cottonseed hulls form the entire
roughage Of the ration, but they win
milk splendidly when fed with good
alfalfa or other legume hay and corn
