Parents Should KnoU
this Splendid Remedy
Simple Laxative Compound Helps To
Correct Constipation in
Children.

With all children there are times
when the bowels fail TO act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cathar-
tics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tenn
porary relief while their violent ac-
ton shocks the system unduly. Mrs.
Eva f. Gaff, 517 10th St., Washington,
ID. c., says that her little girl, Marie,
had been subject to constipation, and
that she found DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin the best remedy because of it's
mildness, and now always keeps a
bottle of it in the house.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs
of any kind and is an ideal remedy
for children because of its mild action
and positive effect. Its use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.
1t is important that parents should

BRIEF STATE NEWS

Appraised of the fact that he had
been made heir to $4,000 estate,
left by an uncle in New York city,
Jack Burke of Pueblo, Colo, painter,
who had been employed at New Rock
ford, laid down his brushes and is
bound for New York city to claim the
estate. Burke obtains almost the en-
tire estate by the terms of the will.
Last Friday Sheriff Nelson Of Cros-
by captured Martin Asbren, recently
escaped from Jamestown. Mr. Nelson
was on his way back from Minot on
the 500. He happened to notice As
bren on the train. He had a distinct
recollection of having seen the man
before. But to make sure, he re-
manned on the train until it arrived
near Westby. In the meantime he re-
sorted to the use of the telegraph and
ascertained that he was on the trail
of the right man. Mr.. Nelson took
the unfortunate man into custody and
he will soon be sent back to James
town. Asbren escaped from the asy-
lum about July II. He was sent there
from Crosby in March.
Tuesday afternoon while the funeral
procession was following the remains
of Miss Pearl Brekke from St. Olaf's
church at Reynolds to the cemetery, a
bad accident occurred near the Anton
Haugen farm. A team hitched to a
bundle wagon which James Evenstad
was loading became frightened and
started to run. The Evenstad boyy
stepped in front of the team in an eff
fort to stop them, and was run over,
suffering four broken ribs, sprained
back and partial paralysis of both
arms. The team then ran onto the
road and into two-seated rig, tipping
it over and smashing it badly. Mrs.
Ole Hammer was badly cut and bruis-
ed and had several ribs broken. Mrs.
Henry Brekke suffered a fracture Of
the skull, fracture of the nose and
fracture of the upper jaw. All the VIC
Tins of the mix-up are doing as we'll
as could be expected and will all re-
cover unless unforeseen complications
should set in.
A terrible accident occurred at
Guelph last Monday evening that has
saddened the whole community. At
about 1880 Sven Hedberg drove load
of grain into the Farmers Elevator.
Just as he was ready to drive out
again the horses presumably took
fright at something and started to
run. Mr.. Hedberg, or Swan, as every
body knew him, had not got clear into
the wagon and was thrown off as the
team ran down the grade from the
elevator. Two wheels of the wagon

BUSINESS AND CROP
REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER

1t is generally agreed that the small
grain yield Of 1916 will not measure
up to last seasons crop" said Mr..
Zehringer Of the Union National Bank
yesterday. "The shortage is various
~ estimated at from Is per cent to so
per cent, though some localities were
unusually favored with abundant
yields.
However, taken as an average, the
outlook is even better than was indi-
Gated by the last government report.
Replies from two hundred banks in
twenty-five states in response to in
quirles regarding crops show an aver
age by states as follows:
Corn crop is reported in good con-
dltlon and nearly average crop in Ne
braska, South Dakota, North Dakota,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, Washington. A report
of fair from Kansas, Illinois, Missou-
ri, Montana, Ohio and Oklahoma.
The oats crop is reported good from
Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Ohio and
Washington and as fair in Kansas,
North Dakota, Wisconsin, South Da-
kota, Arkansas, Missouri and Mon
tana.
Hay and produce is a good crop in
all these states, with the possible ex-
ception Of California, Idaho, Oklaho-
ma and Washington.
The live stock industry is reported
as unusually active with farmers feed
ing all they can take care of.
In Colorado, sugar beets are max
ing so per cent above the u S. aver
age with the highest price for same
$3.50 per ton.
The copper mines in Arizona are
wor king full capacity as this commod-
ity is commanding high war prices.
The Great Lakes tonnage this sea-
son will no doubt break all records.
The tonnage through the American
canal at the 500 will almost equal that
passing thru the Panama Canal this
year.
SO, instead of year of unprece-
denied yields, it looks as though Am
erlcan business must be content with
a fair average season of crops and
business. AS for business generally.
1T is healthy and the outlook is not at
all discouraging.

CARLOAD WEIGHT RULING.
Public Service Commission Fixes the
Minimum at :}6, 900 Pounds.

On the ground that an additional
and unwarranted burden would be
placed upon dealers in towns, the
state public service commission has
denied a petition made by IA rail-
roads doing business in Washington
to increase the minimum weight nee
essary to be loaded in order to obtain
carload rates to 10000 pounds in
stead of 10000 as heretofore.
The proposed weight increase
would have raised the merchants
cost about 5000 per car on flour and
milling stuff shipments, as he could
not have obtained car without pay
ing for 10000 pounds more than he
shipped customarily, whether he
could profitably handle the excess or
not. In order to allow for the con-
stantly increasing number Of larger
cars being put into service, however,
the commission permitted the mini
mum to be increased to $4,000
pounds, which the commission con-
siders fair in all respects to the roads
and not detrimental to the dealer.

The indictment of jeff. Davis and

tract very little attention and excite
no comment, says Chicago dispatch.
Congressional dispatches say it is re-
ported on good authority that the jul

conclusion that the evidence pro-
duced before it does not warrant the
charge that Davis is guilty of COM
plicity in the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln.
We state elsewhere that the object

to prevent any expression of good

sway over national legislation.
More Congressional "Wisdom"-It
will be seen by reference to the tele-
graphic news published elsewhere
that congress has now under consid-
