Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect LQxQtiDe
DR.. cALoWELL's SYRUP PEPsiN
AN IDEAL REMEDY FOR
CONSTIPATION,

In every family there Is more or less
occasion for laxative remedy. 1t is
to meet this need that DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin is prepared. and that this
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin fulfills its purpose is prov.
en- by its place in thousands Of Amer.
lean homes.
Prof. F. J. c. Hertzos, the well.
known linguist. 234l North orianna
ST.. Philadelphia, Pa. wrote II DR.
Caldwell that he has used DR.. cald
wells Syrup Pepsin In his household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider It indeed a friend
in need. and always keep bottle Of
II on hand.
Constipation IS the direct cause OF
much serious illness and Is a condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatiyes
should never be employed to relieve
constipation because the very violence
OF their action shocks the entire sys
tenn. a mild laxative. such as DR.
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is far prefer
able. being mild and gentle In its &C
ton. without gripping or other pain OF
discomfort; its freedom from all OPT
ate or narcotic drugs makes It an ideal
remedy for children.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR cATAR.
RIAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD
NOISES.

II you know someone who is troub.
led with head noises, or Catarrhal
Deafness, cut out this formula and
! hand 1t to them, and you will have
been the means Of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
Recent experiments have proved con.
clusively that Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises, ETC., were the direct cause
OF constitutional disease, and that
salves, sprays, inhalers, ETC., merely
temporize with the complaint and sci.
dom, II ever. effect a permanent cure.
This being so, much time and money
has been spent of late by noted spec
ialist In perfecting pure. gentle, yet
effective tonic that would quickly dis.
pei traces Of the catarrhal poison
from the system. The effective pre-.
scription which was eventually formu.
lated, and which has aroused the be.
lief that deafness will soon be extinct
Is given below in understandable form,
So that anyone can treat themselves
at home at little expense.
Secure from your druggist / OF.
Parmint double strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to 1t
Y pint Of hot water and OF. granulat-
ed sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times a day.
The first dose should begin to re-
lieve the distressing head noises.
headache. dullness, cloudy thinking.
etc., while the hearing rapidly returns
as the system is invigorated by the
tonic action Of the treatment. LOSS of
smell and mucus dropping in the back
OF the throat, are other symptoms that
show the presence Of catarrhal poison.
and which are often entirely overcome
by this efficacious treatment. Nearly
ninety per cent OF all ear troubles are
directly caused by catarrh; therefore
there must be many people whose
hearing can be restored by this simple
home treatment.
Every person who Is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca.
tarrh in any form. should give this
preparation trial. Holt Drug Com.
pany can supply you.

That q satisfactory quality Of book
paper can be made from hemp hurds.
the waste stalk fragments produced
In preparing hemp fiber for market, is
q conclusion reached by the U. s. De.
partment OF Agriculture as a result OF
commercial tests made in cooperation
with paper manufacturer.
The investigations demonstrated
that the hurds can be reduced chemi-
cally to paper stock by the soda pro-
cess under practices little different
from those employed for the manufac.
ture Of pulp from popular wood. Slight.
ly more bleach was necessary. and
beating was found desirable for a
somewhat longer period.
Hemp. is now grown In Kentucky.
Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin. and Califor-
MIA. In Kentucky, however, the fiber
is separated from the stalks by hand
brakes moved about the fields, and
the hurds, therefore, are so scattered
that their use for paper making is not
economically practicable. 1t is only
In the other states named, where large
machine brakes are employed and the
hurds are deposited in stacks. that the
waste may be drawn upon practically
as a paper-making material.

The publisher of the Hartford Her
aid is out against the road bond issue
in an editorial in that paper and at
the same time admits that good roads
lead to prosperity. Tell us, Mr.. Pub
Usher, how we can have good roads
without borrowing money. If we had
$500, 900 in the county treasury you
would surely be in favor of using
most of it on the improvement of our
roads. We know you would because
you admit that good roads lead to
prosperity. Now, we can use borrow
ed money for this purpose more prof.
tably than we could our own $780,
900 because by voting bonds we will
not be forced to pay but four or five
per cent interest, whereas our $780,
900 would be worth six per cent.

BLACKMAILERS HUNT
IN GANGS OF FOUR

New York, April 2S.-A number
of arrests are expected here soon in
a police campaign to break up gangs
of blackmailers who have been prey
ing upon wealthy visitors. Police
Commissioner Woods said today that
his inv estigation has been proceeding
for several months, and action might
be expected in the near future.
A rich harvest reaped by the black
matters is attributed to recent pros
ferrous times, which have brought
thousands of well-to-do business men
to New York. The typical blackmail-
ing gang is described as including
two rnen and two women.
The women make the acquaintance
of prosperous victims and the men
pose as detective and lawyer. The ia
vorite scheme, the police say, has
been to induce victims to give up
money to escape threatened prosecu-
tion under the white-slave law.
