WHEN a man is in the S3rd
w year OF his age, as | am,
there are certain things no has
learned that only time can
teach him. The basis OF treat
ing sickness has not changed
since left Medical College in
1876, nor since | placed ON the
market the laxative prescrip-
ton had'usedin my practice,
known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment of con-
stipation, biliousness, head
aches, mental depression,
indigestion, sour stomach and
other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely
by means OF simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots.
These are still the basis of my
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination of
Egyptian SIENNA and other mild
laxative herbs with pepsin.
Recently new me dicines
have been brought out for
constipation that contain cal
omel, which is mercury, salts

LAND LEASING LAW YIELDS 500
PER TEACHER

On March 18th at the request OF
the State Department.. Mr.. Baker,
the State Land Commissioner asked
the Land Office in Washington fo1
the following information:
|. THE amount actually available
and payable to the State of Wyo,
ming April 1st from the States por.
tion OF the royalties and bonuses
then paid to the Government from
the oil land leasing law"
2. THE estimated amount due and
payable to the State OF Wyoming
from this source June 80, 1921"
In reply he received the following
information:
THE receipts on account OF rent
and royalties under the Mineral
Leasing Act in the State of Wyo-
ming are as follows: For past pro-
duction.' s2,O30,156.46. and for
future production. $12O,33O.47. OF
the receipts for past production the
states share is 20 per cent or s451,-
1922, and OF the receipts for tut
ure production the states share is
Btu per cent. or ~$45,123.93 a total
of $496,279.15."
As reports from the United States
Land Offices for the month Of
March have not yet been received
these figures are subject % change
but are substantially correct. Con-
siderable sums are still due the Gov
eminent for both past" and "fut-
ure" production but such amounts
have not yet been determined and I
am therefore unable to advise you
the States share Of the uncollected
royalties. Neither a I give you
an estimate Of the amount that will
be due the state on June 80; the
data is still too Incomplete"
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the sum OF $~498,279.15 and per-
haps a little more, will be ready for
distribution to the various counties
this summer. Fifty per cent OF this
money or $243,139.57 will be dis
tributed to the school districts ac-
cording to the number OF teachers
employed. There are approximately
24OO teachers In the State. The law
provides that school districts shall
receive IN times as much for high
school teachers as for teachers of
other grades. There are about 285
high school teachers in the State.
Therefore districts will receive be-
tween $50 and 800 for teachers be-
low the high school.
Since nearly all school districts
are in debt, 1t seems that 1t would
be we'll to ignore this new source of
revenue this year and proceed to
vote on May End for the full amount
~ originally planned. The oil roy
atty money could then be used to
