WHEN a man is in the S3rd
w year of his age, as I am,
there are certain things he has
learned that only time can
teach him. The basis of treat
ing sickness has not changed
since l left Medical College in
1875, nor since / placed on the
market the laxative prescrip-
ton l had used in my practice,
known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment Of con-
sdpation, 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 medicines
have been brought out for
constipation that contain cal

MORE WORK THAN PAY
FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS

The time and attention now being
given to improving the streets of the
town reminds us that 1t is doubtful
IL the average citizen realizes the
amount of time devoted to the public
welfare by town oficiais and mem
bers OF the town board and trustees
of our schools. They can not consider
their time their own Scarcely day
passes but what some Merfdianite
approaches them with some request or
suggestion relative to the affairs OF
the Meridian community. Each must
be considered. This requires time and
thought. all OF which is taken from
their private business affairs. The
slight tor MOI compensation they re-
ceive from the town or school dis
trict treasury is but pittance, not
to be compared with the value OF the
time and energy they devote to the
public good. One may ask why our
people do these things. For many
years j. NJ. Anderson, one of our hon
ored citizens, performed this kind of
work and during his term the city
water works and other improvements
were provided, involving much time
and thought. The reason that act
uates the average citizen is love and
pride In the home town and commun-
ity. 1t is the desire OF all to see our
own town become credit to the cit
iaeRshiR OF the place The hours spent
In bringing about this result is not
considered. It Is the result that
counts.

no VOTE on PLAN

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the town board of Meridian, held
Monday night, the time was occupied
In hearing the civil engineers who
presented estimates for the proposed
state highway Improvement thru the
town. They estimated that at cost
OF $4,000 the mile OF highway could
be improved with 400 yards OF
crushed rock and gravel. 10 inches
deep and 1s feet wide. In the two
blocks of the highway thru the center
of the town the gravel would be laid
from curb to curb. This estimate also
inciudes the removal of $500 yards
Of dirt, and also filling in particular
ly In the stretch extending from the
railway right of way south to the
town limits. Tits road In the south
part OF town has been one big
mud hole during the last few months.
In removing the dirt, the engineers
recommend that ten inches or more
Of dirt be removed In the district near
Idaho street and the state highway,
as the ground is too high for the
cross walks, and there is no drainage
for the garages and other business
places In this locality.
The engineers estimate that the
work complete can be done in first
class shape for $4,000, and acting
on this report, the town board will
commence next week the publication
of the necessary proceedings prepar-
atory to submitting the proposal at a
bond election, which will probably
require SO days and the election may
be held the latter part of next month.
The success OF the Nampa bond ell
ection. which carried four TO one, on
a similar proposition, gives eneour-
agement to those who think there Will
be no opposition to the plan. In case
the bonds are voted there will be con-
siderable work for Meridian men this
summer, under the contract, and IL
will come at a time when the rush of
spring farm work is over. Whoever
gets the contract, should agree to
give preference to local men.
