Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her Baby
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Is a Dependable Family
Laxative

Nearly all the sickness incident to {
baby's life is due to constipation, OF
inaction of the bowels. At the first in
dication of irregularity in this import
ant function, relief should be afforded
promptly. A mild laxative should bt
administered to gently carry off the
congested waste and leave the stomach
and bowels free 10 perform their al
lotted tasks.
Of the various remedies recommend

ton of simple laxative herbs with pep

ate or narcotic drug, is pleasant to the
taste, mild and gentle in action, and
quickly brings the desired relief in an
easy, natural manner.
Mrs. G. J. Douglas, Mason, H., writes
that she cannot say enough in praise OF
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsn as a de-
pendable family laxative. Little Mary
Eva had been badly constipated until
they tried DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which brought the first natural relief
the child had had in two weeks.

cannot tell you. He grew more and
more silent, yet ] never thought he was
tired or faint. gave him a glass OF
water, but he just wet his lips and told
me not to go away. Then he asked me
to bring the Presbyterian Book of Pub
lie Prayer which lay there, and said,
with smile, that it would open at the
right place-and so it did. There was
his double red mark down the page;
knelt down and read, and he repeated
with me, For ourselves and our country,
o gracious God, we thank thee, that,
Notwithstanding our manifold transgres-
sions of thy holy laws, thou hast con-
tinued to us thy marvellous kindness
and so to the end of that Thanksgiving
Then he turned to the end of the same
book, and read the words more familiar
to me: Most heartily we beseech thee
with thy favor to behold and bless thy
servant, the president of the United
States, and all others in authority
and the rest of the Episcopal collect.
'Danforth,' said he, Il have repeated those
prayers night and morning, it is now
So years. And then he said he would
go to sleep. He bent me down over him
and kissed me; and he said, Look in my
Bible, Danforth, when / am gone And
went away.

said, laughing, brought off good deal
besides furs Then lie went back--heav-
ems, how far-to ask about the Chesa-
peake, and what was done TO Barron for
surrendering her TO the Leopard, and
whether Burr ever tried again, and he
ground his teeth with the only passion
he showed. But in moment that was
over, and he said, God forgive me, for
am sure forgive him. Then he asked
about the old war-told me the true
story of his serving the gun the day we
took the Java-asked about dear old
David Porter, as he called him. Then
he settled down more quietly, and very
happily, to hear me tell in an hour the
history of so years.
"How ] wished it had been somebody
who knew somethingi But ! did as well

war. ! told him about Fulton and the

very gallant officer named Grant, and
that by our last news, he was about to

emigration, and the means OF it-of
steamboats, and railroads and telegraphs
of inventions and books and literature
of the colleges and West Point and the
naval school-but with the queerest in
terruptions that ever you heard. You
see it was Robinson Crusoe asking all
the accumulated questions of So years.

who was president now; and when /

Benjamin Lincoln's son. He said he met

to be alone.
'But in an hour, when the doctor went
in gently. he found Nolan had breathed
his life away with smile. He had
something pressed close to his lips. 1t
was his fathers badge OF the Order Of

"We looked in his Bible, and there was
a slip of paper, at the place where he
had marked the text
"'They desire a country, even heay-
emily: wherefore God is not ashamed to

JUDGE MCMILLAN
FOR REELECTION.

The Official announcement of Judge
I. A. Mcmillan for reelection as COUNTY
Judge of Bourbon county appears in
this issue of THE BOURBON NEWS
1t has been the custom in Bourbon
county for the past half century to
compliment the holder of this Office
with a second term. Mr.. Mcmillan
has certainly made good and has
friends and supporters say there is no
doubt that this custom will be follow
ed in the coming election. If elected,
Mr.. Mcmillan promises to re-appoint
his able Road Engineer, Mr.. Ben F
Bedford, who has been a God-send In
the users OF the public highways of
Bourbon county, as every dollar that

not one penny went elsewhere.
Judge Mcmillan is a practical road
builder, having taken a course in this
line of work and has made it a prac-
tice during his administration to per-
sonally oversee the road Improvements

program for an address at nearly
every one Of the meetings.

the Quarterly Court
We believe Mr.. Mcmillan has been
as fair and impartial in his decisions
on the bench as a Judge could be-
He has always given his service and
money in every campaign where q
Democrats chances were at stake. We
believe the Judge has fulfilled all his
prediction promises and are sure he
will do just what he says he will do If
reelected. In his card in last issue he
promises the following:

ness administration and to devote my
