A Laxative for Babies
Good for Everybody,
Dr. CaIdWeIpS Syrup PepSin Safe
ahd Efficient Family Remedy

Every member of the family is
more or less subject to constipation,
and every home should always be
supplied with a dependable remedy
to promptly relieve this condition.
Whenever the bowels become clog
ged and the natural process of elm
ination thereby disturbed, the entire
system is affected, and readily sub
ject to attack by disease. Constipa-
ton is a condition that should never
be neglected.
Mrs E R Gilbert, of Millbro, Va,
says that DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin is splendid laxative for children
because they like its pleasant taste,
and it acts so easily and naturally,
without gripping or strain, and she
finds it equally effective for the rest
of the family.
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that contains no opiate
or narcotic drug. 1t is mild and gen.
tie in its action, and does not cause
pain or discomfort. Druggists every
where sell this excellent remedy for
fifty cents a bottle. "

how to Get Eggs from Hens.

If you want hens to lay in winter
you must have green food for them,
and they must be kept busy. The
idle hen that sits ON the sunny side
of the rose bush in the back yard all
day long and eats all you will feed
her will never make any woman
rich. But cover the hen house or
shed floor with chaff and get her to
scratching for her living, and she
will fill the egg basket.
For the morning feed scatter corn,
cane seed, millet or any kind Of
grain, in a deep, dry litter and let
them dig for it. At night, feed a
mash of table scraps, meal, wheat,
bran or anything you may have on
hand. At night, give a warm feed. |
find parched corn ahead of most
anything. This keeps the hens warm
through the long, cold hours when
they can not warm themselves by
exercise. Of course in our mild
climate we don't need to feed them
suppers every night. only on coldest
nights.
If you have buttermilk for hens
and will beat up all the bones lett
from meat you will not have to buy
beef scrap. always sow a few
patches of rye, crimson clover, bar.
ley or wheat near the hen houses 10
they can get their own green feed.
When we feed as above we never
fail to get a fair amount of eggs.
but if we just do ANY old way" we
don't get many and don't deserve
them.-Mrs HoweU in Progressive
Farmer.
