DR. CaldweIrS Syrup PepSin The Family
Laxative for Many Years.

Mrs Aug Doellefeld of Carlyle, Ill,
recently wrote to DR. Caldwell, at
Monticello, Ill, that she has used DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home
for a number of years, and would
not be without it, as with 1t she has

DrCaldwell's SyrupPepsini is COM
bination OF simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that acts on the bowels in an
easy, natural way, and regulates the
action of this most important func-
ton. Nearly all the sickness to which
children are subject is traceable to
bowel inaction, and a mild, depend
able laxative, such as DR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin should have place IN
every family medicine chest. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and children
like it, and take it readily, while it
is equally effective for adults.

Urges Larger Exhibit In Fancy
Work Department at Fair.

AS the time for the county fair
approaches l wish to ask the CO.
operation of ladies throughout the
county in the fancy work depart
ment.
Last year this was one of the
largest and most interesting depart
ments of the fair. This year it
must be even larger. More space
has been given over to it and the
hand work can be displayed to much
better advantage. Then again this
department must be especially good
to help take the place of other de-
partments in which ladies are inter-
ested, for these of necessity will be
smaller. We urge all ladies to send
some hand work, whether they ex-
pect it to take prize or not. 1t may
give an idea for some one else and
be admired by others. We also urge
every lady to come to the fair and
invite them to visit the fancy work
department.
Remember dates of fair-Novem-
ber 8.ll. Send work a few days
prior to beginning of fair and thus
aid the committee.

How CataPrh Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought

their children contract. The in

disease that is seldom cured and
that may prove life's burden.

The postoffice at Andrews has
been advanced from fourth to third
class. The postmaster will receive a
salary of 81. 100 per year. The re-

when the receipts increase rapidly
each year it is a clear indication that
the town is growing. No one will
dispute the fact that Andrews is
growing more rapidly. perhaps, than
any other town in the State. Her
people are hustling and going after
