Most Effective Remedy

DIR. CAIlDWELES SYRUP PEPSlN
KEIilEVES BABY WHEN OTHER
MEDICINES FAILED.

There Is nothing so necessary to Il
child's health and comfort as regu-
larity of tho bowels. All children
are especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any overstrain of the
sensitive organs has tendency to
obstruct elimination. This condition
Is responsible for much OF the illness
OF childhood.
To relieve constipation 4 mild laXa-
tive should be employed. Cathar-
tics and purgatives are violent in
their action and should be avoided.
Mrs Alfred Du Bois, Mt. Holly. n.
j., says DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsln
Is without doubt the most effective
remedy for constipation she has ever
used and that it IS the only remedy
she could find for her baby. Little
Earl was badly constipated during his
first year and nothing she tried
seemed to help him until she got n
bottle Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. Now he IS fine, strong, healthy
boy. and she thanks DR.. Caldwell
for it.

with pensin, free from opiates or mar

THE SOY BEAN,
Anderson u. Il o. Co. will Put in a
Plant for Extracting OIL.
(Anderson Mail.)

The action of the Anderson Phos-
phate and Oh Company IN announc-
ing that it will put in machinery for
extracting oil from soy beans, If the
farmers Of this section will plant
sufficient crop to justify the expendi-
ture, is in the line Of progress and Is
to be commended. 1t is also good
business.
1t is plain to all intelligent people
that the farmers Of this section will
have to get away from the all-cotton
system, and that the sooner they do
IL the better. Owing to the advance
of the boil weevil cotton can no
longer be depended on for money
crop.
Farmers who have been Investigate
ing the soy bean say there is big
money in it, provided the right kind
Of seed are planted and proper care
is taken in cultivating and caring for
the crop. There is more money In
soy beans, they say, with proper
methods, than in cotton even at 20
cents pound.
1t will take little nerve to break
away from cotton and go to planting
ether crops, but wherever it has been
done the results have been good. In
the districts that have been over-run
by the boil weevil, where cotton can
no longer be grown. the farmers are
more prosperous to-day than ever be-
tore.
They suffered severely just after
the boil weevil appeared, for they had
not prepared themselves. They found
themselves cut off from cotton and
without experience in other crops
For the time being they were practi-
ca,,y ruined. They are prospering
nov, but they will never regain the
losses of the two or three years just
follt wing the coming OF the boil
weevil
Efforts are being made to save the
farmers of this section from that ex-
perience, and anything that will help
along this line Is to be commended.
Merchants, bankers, cotton seed oil
mill people. fertilizer people, and all
others are Interested no less than the
farmers themselves, and 1t is gratify-
ing to see such general spirit Of
Willingness to cooperate.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure catar-
rhai DEAFNESS, and that is by q consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness
Is caused by an infiamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube is inflamed Won
nave a rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Many cases OF deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts
