You men and women who can't get

coated tongue, bad taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill

with a sick, gassy, disordered stomach
and colds.
Are you keeping your liver and
bowels clean with Cascarets, or shock
ing your insides every few days with
Calomel, Salts, Oil and violent pills?
Cascarets work while you sleep !;
they cleanse the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested, fermenting food
and foul gases; take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out Of the
system all the constipated waste mat

IN MEMORY OF OUR BABY

Ellis Ravin, little son of W. G. and
Kate Jennings, was born December
9th, 1915, died October 18th, 1919,
aged three years, ten months and
thirteen days. His body was laid to
rest in Gethsemane to await the COM
ing of our Lord.
How he is missed in the home !
How he was loved in the homel Not
only in the home, but by all who knew
him, will he be missed. He was the
only baby in the home and the joy
and pride of his parents.
Little Ravin is gone but will never
be forgotten. 1t is true, "the dear
Lord giveth, and He taketh away, but
His will be done.
In taking the little one our home
has been left in sad condition. Lit
lie Ravin only budded on earth ia
bloom in heaven. It has been our
loss but heavens gain. How his lit.
tie presence will be missed in the
home no one can tell. He can never
come back to us, but thank the dear
Lord we can go to him.
A precious little one from us has
gone;
A sweet little voice we loved is still
A place is vacant in our home,
Which none other child can fill.
Written by his father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Jennings.

a Billion for France?

Plans for arranging a $4,000 100000
commercial credit in this country for
private French interests have been
abandoned, it was learned yesterday.
Actually there were no really official
negotiations, an American banker hav-
ing gone to Paris to look over the situ-
alton. On his return here he told q
leading banking group that conditions
were not favorable to arranging a credit
at this time. 1t develops, however, that
long range discussions are on which
indicate that the French government
will, in due time, arrange for the flota
tion of long term bonds to provide
funds for reconstructing the devastated
parts of France. The plan is to have
Investment groups in this country
take these bonds. A banker said yes
terday that France might borrow a
billion dollars or more here in this
manner if it can be worked out sue
