Mother Praises Remedy
That Relieved Her Baby
DR. CdIdtOeRs Syrup Pepsin
Is a Dependable Family
LdxdtiOe.

Nearly all the sickness incident to
a baby's life is due to constipation, or
tnaction of the bowels. At the first in
dication of irregularity in this impor-
tant function, relief should be afforded
promptly. A mild laxative should be
administered to gently carry off the
congested waste and leave the stomach
and bowels free to perform their al
lotted tasks.
OF the various remedies recommend
ed to relieve constipation, the combina-
ton of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, as prescribed by DR.. w. B. Cald-
well and sold in drug stores under the
name of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
is the most effective. 1t contains no
opiate 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. c. J. Douglas, Mason, ILL.,, writes
that she cannot say enough in praise OF
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a de-
pendable family laxative. Little Mary
Eva had been badly constipated until
they tried DR.. Caldwell's syrup Pepsin,
which brought the first natural relief
the child had had in two weeks.

GENERAL GRANT AND HIS
BRAVE HORSE.

General Ulysses s. Grant was one Of
the bravest soldiers who ever lived.
Yet,, he did not like war, but did all
in his power to end 1t as soon as pos
sible. Like every great and brave man,
he had O kind heart. One of his staff
officers who was close to him during
the Civil war, said that he never saw
him angry but once That was when
he saw one Of his soldiers abusing his
mule. He gave that soldier a scolding
he would never forget.
When he was a boy. he was sent to
West Point, where the government has
q great school to train young men to
be soldiers. He was noted even then
for his Craftsmanship. No horse was
too wild for him to tame, yet some
times he made the horse feel that he
was not only his master but his
friend. This skill in riding horses came
into. use afterward, when he became
q great general. 1t saved him at one
time from being taken as q prisoner
OF war. III.
After the battle of Belmont, near the
banks of the Mississippi river, Grant
and his men were chased by the Con-
federates toward the river. They had
to get down to some large boats which
lay in the river, in order to escape.
General Grant was the last man, and
when he came UP to the brink of the
river, the last boat was just starting.
The captain signalled the engiAeer
to stop the boat. and then they threw
out a plank. General Grant did not
have a minute to lose, and the horse
seemed to know this as well as his
master. The bank was high and very
steep but the horse put his front feet
over the edge, gathered his hind legs
under him and Just slid down with
General Grant on his back. When he
got down to the bottom, he saw the
plank. and trotted into the boat, al
though it was nothing but q single
plank. l.l5 -,... a.. - f. ss-,
How well must the horse and Gen.
eral Grant have known each other.
Such an act could not have been done
unless each had perfect trust in the
other. No one can tell how much we
owe to that brave act of the horse,
for il General Grant had been taken
prisoner or killed at that time. 1t
might have, changed the history of
our country. s.s. 81.

TREASON, rs CHARGE

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. 27.-Charg-
ing government without representa-
tion. and, to all intents and purposes,
held in bondage by this special, ia
vored interest, DR.. III. C. r. Norriss OF
Enderlin today addressed an open
letter to the governor the supreme
court. the senate. house OF represen-
tatives, attorney general and the

Of government as provided for in the
enacting clause of the constitution,
failing which they shall ''be individu-
ally and collectively guilty of treason
to the people of North Dakota and to
the federal government itself-and by
this act shall brand themselves as
traitors" Further he advises that
when an official commits an act OF
treason he by that traitorous act for
feits all rights to any Office or au-
thority" and that until such time as
he is provided with a republican form
Of government in the state OF North
Dakota he disclaims any legal or NOR
al right of the present officers to rule
over him; and furthermore, IL the
state of North Dakota does not take
official action on this complaint, he
will insist that the department Of JUS
tice of the United States enforce the
constitution. declare all Of the various
state offices vacant. and demand d
new election.
No .official notice has been taken OF
the letter. Governor Frazier, one of
the officials upon whom DR.. Norriss
makes his demand. handed his copy
to the press without comment. Copies
were received in both houses Of the
legislature. by the supreme court and
