Swedish Ministerial Crisis Threatened.
London, Sept. 25.-Advices received
here indicate that Sweden is on the
verge Of ministerial crisis. The
causes are three.fold, namely. the
election, the results of the BuenQs
Aires telegram revelations, and the
fact that Germany has not yet given
9 satisfactory answer to Sweden's de-
mand for a full explanation of the
Count Won Luxburg affair.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, Oct. 9.-After our few
days of pretty Indian summer wealth
er this morning has brought us cold
rain. Have had fine weather for pick
ing cotton and it is opening fast and
guess most of it will be gathered this
month.
Our regular services were held at
New Hope Sunday morning with our
presiding elder with us, and he deliv-
cred an excellent sermon. The Come
to-SundaySchool Day., Nov. 4th, was
explained and this message is from
our governor for all the people to turn
out in a mass on that day, and we
hope all Sunday schools will have a
large attendance.
Saturday, Oct. 13, will be "Work
Day" for the Epworth orphanage, and
we are requested to give our day :.
work. We hope everybody will do
their part in this good work, for there
are many dependent on our gifts for
their support.

Get 10-cent box
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up
with a cold-always trace this to tor
pid liver; delayed, fermenting food in
the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges-
ton and that dull, throbbing, sicken-
ing headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

straighten you out by morning They

from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE. SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion for a Few
Cents and See for Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon Juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into q
bottle containing about three ounces
Of orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have a whole quarter pint Of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
Of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for months.
When applied daily to the face, neck,
arms and hands it should help to
bleach, clear, smoother and beautify
the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

SEA RAIDER CAPTURED?

London, Oct. S.-An exchange tele-
graph dispatch from Melbourne says
it is reported there that whale boat
with crew of Germans from the raid
er Seeadler has been captured in the
vicinity of the Fiji islands. The boat
contained a gun and machine guns,
the dispatch says, and the Germans
admitted they had been detailed from
the Seeadler to make raids.
The presence of two German sea
raiders in the South Pacific was made
known in dispatches from Samoa to
the navy department last week. Both
vessels were said to have been
manned by the crew of the Seeadler.
Several merchantmen are reported to
have been sunk. The Seeadler was
active in the South Atlantic last
spring, sinking II merchantmen there.

Most Old People
Are ConStipated

The wear of years impairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
1t is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective,
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
tho name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents bottle, ard should be
in every family medicine chest.
A trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to

The cherry, Uncle Sans original

Favorite camping grounds are usual

But too often it is these attractive

are often clear and sparkling, yet load

This summer tie waters may be
more dangerous than usual because OF
the hurried arrangements of military
camps, with the want of sanitary plan

Don't be deceived by the old.fashion-

frequently they have been poisoned by
people who are not yet sufficiently

When camping in strange locations
