DR.. Caldwcll's Syrup Pepsin an
Ideal Remedy for Con-
StipatiOn

I'm cvcry family there is more or

wells syrup Pepsin is prepared. and
that This combination Of simple laNa-
tive herbs with pepsin fuiiills IT'S pur-
pose is prosrn by Us place in thous-
and~ of American homes
Prof r. j. e. Hertzog, the well
known linEuist. 23ll North Orianna
ST. Philadelphia. Pa. wrote 10 Or.
Caldwell that he has slsed DR. tald.
Wells syrup Pepsin i'm his household
with excellent results and that he
and his family consider IT indeed a
friend in need. and always keep a
bottle Of 10 on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause OF
much serious illness and is condi.
ton that should never be neglected
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tivcs should never BE- employed to re-
lieve constipation. because the very
violence of their action shocks the
entire system. \ mild laxative, such
as Or CaldwcTs syrup Pepsin is far
preferable. being mild and gentle in
it's action. without gripping or other
pain or discomfort its freedom from
all opiatc or narcotic drugs makes

In the days trading at the stock ex-

and then at the morning session re-
acted TO $l4. In this stock the heay-

an advance of Is. Mineral Products
was much in demand this morning as
it has been for several days past.
This active demand for the stock is
occasioned by persistent rumors to
the effect that the company will be in
a position to enter upon dividend dis.
bursements regularly after July /.
These rumors are rather specific and
even go so far as to state daily earn
ings. But such statements vary in
amount, being placed at all the way
from $4,000 to 10000 -. r..
Coast quotations on most mining
stocks were lower, this being attri

Softly from afar comes the muir
muir of its gathering forces. Louder
and louder the sound comes as it
gains momentum for its futile de-

cold and indomitable rock, and then
like a whimpering child it breaks
with a fearsome cry along the beach

SEED SUPPLY
Turkestan Variety Imported to
Help Out Domestic Stock.
Not We'll Adapted for General Use in
United States and Particularly Un-
desirable for Eastern Humid
Sections.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
During the fiscal years ended June
80, 1913, 1914 and 1915, approximately
six million, five million, and seven mil
lion pounds, respectively, of alfalfa
seed were imported, while during the
fiscal year ended June &c. 1916 less
than three and One-fOurth million
pounds were imported.
For several years Russian Turkestan
has been the only country having
large surplus of seed available for in
ternational trade, but the supply of
seed from this source has been prac-
tically shut off since the beginning of
the European war, until the past win
ter. when shipments were begun by
the way of the trans-Siberan railway,
Vladivostok, and the Pacific ocean. OF
the seed imported into the United
States since July 1, 1915, more than
half has been from Russian Turkestan,
and no doubt more of this seed will be
brought in as transportation can be
arranged.
The short domestic supply of last
wear together with the decreased i'm
ports, have resulted in a marked in
crease in the price Of seed over that
of a year ago. The lack of alfalfa
seed in this country this year must be
made up by importation, and this will
necessarily be largely Turkestan seed.
II is known that Turkestan seed is not
we'll adapted for general use in the
United States and that it is particu,
larly undesirable for use in the eastern
humid sections. On the basis of its
relative crop-producing capacity, the
nrice of Turkestan seed should be low
or than that of domestic seed, and pur
chasers should know when they are
buying Turkestan seed. Conditions
may often be such that only Turkestar
