Well kno1ur1 Remedy

Important to Dispose Of Waste from
the Stomach With
Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fall
ure Of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to ag-
gravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels
in condition, there Is no more effec.
tive remedy than the combination Of
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Of Pepsin which is
sold in drug stores for nifty cents a

Them.
poor HELP EACH OTHER
Little Instances Of HelpfuIness Show
That Poverty 10 Not One Of
the Heart Among Those
Here.

Some one Of the old writer's has
said that the greatest charity, love,
is to be found among those people
having the least. This is proven
many times right here in our midst.
Take for example the following:
Several weeks ago one OF the west
end families became tired of life here
and moved south, leaving behind a
bright though none too robust young
boy. He remained In the deserted
house for day or two without food,
fire or bed. A man much poorer than
lie child's parents took him into his
home and has uncomplainingly shared
with him the little he possessed.
Furthermore he has never tried to
secure material relief because OF the
added burden.
A well dressed woman came to the
Office of the United Charities the
other day, asking groceries and when
not be duplicated anywhere except
among the poor The hat belonged
to neighbor, the skirt to another.
the cloak to the third, while the
shoes had been loaned by fourth.
Had this woman applied to the aver
age home, dressed as she came to
this office she would have met with
rather cold reception. The majority
Judge by appearances.
Helpful charity must go below the
surface and find out actual condi-
lions and their cause. Sometimes but
little material help is required to put
family on its feet and again there
are homes in which material help
will be needed for years. A deserted
wife endeavoring to raise family
may need some help until the Oldest
child Is fourteen and II charity is
wise, that help will be continued I'M
til they will have little more edu-
cation and better opportunities. All
this work takes money and often a
great deal Of 1t, but it is well invest
ed and will yield large returns In
better general conditions and re-
duced poverty. You intend to support
this work. why not send your con-
tribution at this time when the
money is SO greatly needed. One
tenth Of what was spent on baseball
in Keokuk last season will support
the united Charities for year.

CARTHAGE GIRLS
DEATH MYSTERIOUS

Her Home-APparentiy in Good
Health on Saturday.

CARTHAGE. H., Feb. 15.-Mystery
surrounds the death of Miss Teenie
Hulls, 16 years old, at ! o'clock Mon
day morning. She was the daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs. Gayet Hulls. and
lived with her parents on farm
about a mile and a half south Of this
place.
Saturday afternoon, Miss Hulls was
in the city, and apparently in the best
OF health. She was pretty, vfvacious
girl, and her death is blow to her
many friends in this part Of the coun-
try.
No cause for death can be found.
There is a rumor around town that
fresh sausage, which may have con-
tanned ptomaine poison, may have
been the cause, but physicians are un-
able to verify the rumor. None Of the
other members OF the family was i'll,
and If seems that they would have
been, had this been the cause.

HOW MANY WINTER CLOTHES

Many people delude themselves into
the belief that an accumulation OF
garments will prevent their taking
cold We remember one gentleman
who came to the writer for treat
ment. says J. H. Kellogg in Good
Health. He had the appearance Of be-
ing a large, portly man, but when his
case came to be investigated In the
examining office, it was discovered
that he was not above ordinary proper
tons, but that he had a great deal OF
clothing on his body. He wore, out
side OF his clothing, a WOODEN blanket
folded into four thicknesses; then he
had on a thick coat, pantaloons, vest,
and knit jacket, and under these,
two thick. WOODEN undeTshfrts and
underneath all these, he had sheep
skin with the wool On and next to
his body, This patient was disap-
pointed because his tTea tments were
not all warm baths. He had been In
the habit of cooking himself until he
was nearly parboiled, and had lost
his power to resist cold. IN order to
train his body to better resistance, he
was induced to dispense with one ex-
ira garment, and then another, but 1t
was difficult to get rid of the WOODEN
blanket and the sheepskin. One morn
ing his attendant came to the ply
stcian's office with sparkling eyes, and
almost shouted out. i've got his pelt
off at last" By careful training the
gentleman's skin had become active
and strong enough to react properly,
and he finally went home relieved OF
his trouble.
Clothing is necessary, but more than
is needed is Objectionable; 1t weakens
the body and keep poison from be-
hg eliminated.
