Nv Fellow Citizens:

My Fellow Citizens:
Owing to sickness IL my family,
my official duties and the size of the
circuit, it has been quite impossible
for me to make a house to house
campaign, OF even address the
voters in all the communities Of the
circuit. I am, therefore, taking
this opportunity to repeat largely
what l have said in the speeches
made by me.
A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
I started my campaign upon a
high plane; l propose to end it that
way. l have made no assault upon
the character of any competitor, o
have I any secret agent dong work
of that kind. And l am frank to
say there is no office in the gift of
the people that l would have if l
had to get it by a resort to dirty
politics, by a resort to disreputable
methods. And any mar who gains
an office by corruption will bo cor
rupt in it. AS / run my campaign
so will | run the Office.
OFFICIAL RECORD.

upon my official record. At the

seems to be necessary. My official
record is an open book, and the
book has not been kept b. me, but
by the clerks Of court in the several
counties of this circuit. 1t speaks
for Itself, and | invite all good citi-
zer,s to inspect it. Do not take th"
word of some political enemy work

teeth make their appearance through
out life the teeth should have daily
care. For the baby very soft brush
is necessary and the utmost care
should be taken not to injure in any
way the delicate tissues of the mouth
when brushing the tiny teeth. After
the baby has several teeth, the mother
should see to it that no particles of
solid food are left between them after
the baby has eaten. If the first set of
teeth is well taken care of, the second
set will be healthier, and in addition
the child will have been taught good
habit that will last all his life.
There is considerable variation in
the time that the teeth first appear,
but if the baby has no teeth by the
time he is one year old, he should
have medical attention to see if any
disease is causing this unusual delay
in the development of the teeth, or
whether it is due to improper diet.

The Standard Remedy

Relieve Constipation Easily
Without Gripping or
Discomfort.

Indigestion and constipation are two
conditions that are closely related and
the cause of much physical suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaXed or
gans of digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy that will
quickly relieve the congestion of poi
sonous stomach waste and restore reg
ularity, is the compound of simple lax
ative herbs sold in drug stores for fif-
ty cents a bottle under the name of
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. This is
mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rene
dy in thousands of homes for many
years.
Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis,
writing to DR.. Caldwell, says, she
knows of nothing so effective for regu
lating the stomach and bowels; since
taking DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin she
feels ten years younger; her work

soloists of merit in the school to
provide an evening of rare entertain

third year the entire set of 20 milk
teeth.
The process of teething in healthy
baby cannot properly be held respon-
sible for the illness commonly attribut-
ed to it. The first half-dozen teeth
rarely give the baby any pain, but as
the double teeth appear there is oc-
casionally at the same time a little
disturbance, such as loss of appetite,
and possibly evidences of slight indi-
gestion, which may last for a few
days. But if the disturbance is more
serious than this, some other reason
for it should be sought.
Teething takes place through the
weaving period and during the second
year, when mistakes in feeding are so
often made which upset the baby's di-
gestion, even if they do not make him
seriously i'll. On this account it is oft
en- unjustly blamed for making the
baby sick, when the real reason lies
in the fact that he was overfed or i'm
properly fed, or perhaps that the
weather was very hot
1t must be remembered that eXces-
sive heat aggravates any ill the baby
may have, and is quite sufficient in
itself to make the baby sick. 1t is nee
essary in summer, therefore, both on
account of the heat and because of the
disturbances connected with weaving
and teething, to take great care of the
baby in all respects, and especially to
feed him with great caution. Direc
tions for feeding the baby are given
in a pamphlet called Infant Care"
which will be sent free to anyone
who asks for it, applying to the chief
of the children's bureau, L. S. depart
ment of labor, Washington, D. c.
The baby may not gain in weight
during the cutting of his various dou-
Die teeth, Dut III is not serious matter
to have the weight remain stationary
for a short time. The baby will quick
ly regain the lost ground when he is
well again, and eating his full rations.
The mother should never allow any
one to persuade her to give the baby
patent medicines such as soothing syr-
ups to relieve the pain of teething If
they do relieve it, they probably con-
tain opium in some form, which is
much worse for the baby than the suf-
fering 1t is a safe rule never to give
medicine of any sort to a baby, save
that which is ordered by doctor.
