Millions Of Families Depend
on Dr.. CaldwelPs Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DIR. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human be-
ings TO put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name Of DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is o the largest selling LIQUID
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions Of bottles are used n year
proves that it has won the confidence
of people who needed it to get re-
lief from headaches, biliousness,
fiatulence, Indigestion, loss Of appe-
title and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and il you will once start using
It You will also always have a bot
tie handy for emergencies.

Its Sunday. Can't I have some

manded w~rathfully. There's no

Mile, and Mile glared back at her.
There is no quarrel 80 bitter rs the
quarrel between two sisters. That is
one Of life's puzzling facts.
Sally and Mile were always hav-

them since their mud-pie days, and
il had always been Sally who spoke
the first pleasant word. Mile was
rs stubborn as q mule, for all her
outward softness.
II was Sally who spoke the first

Sleep played hide-and-seek with
Sally Jerome that night until the
wee small hour of three.
Then, just as she was doing off,
the slow, soft voice Of Mile came
from the darkness on the other side
Of the room, and Weakened her.
"lt's too bad I'm not the one that
Ted Sloan likes" she drawled,
isn't it?"
Because it wouldn't be any trou-
bic to me 10 get those checks away
from him. the young siren ex-
planned. I'D just tell him that II
ne cared about me he'd tear them up
and forget them. Why don't
you tell him that? He's so crazy
about you that he'd do it if you
asked HMM the right way"
There was a long. heavy silence,
and then Sally spoke:
81 couldn't take advantage Of his
liking me, Mile"
The other girl laughed. "You sure
are a Daft" she said serenely. You'll
never get to first base in this world
with ideas like that, Sally. .
What 90 you suppose a girl has looks
for except to make some man do the
things she wants him to do? And
there isn't much use in having Ted
Sloan crazy about you, unless you
a make him e up the checks or
give them TO you. / bet I could
make him do it, believe you mel"
In the %shrouding darkness Sally
shook her head, and her little chin
set itself firmly. The only decent
thing 70 do is TO give Ted the money
that Beau got from him-and ID was
more than 500. Mile. 1t was a

For a second she was tempted 70
tell her the whole story How she
had gone to Mr.. Peevey for a loan.
How she owed him a hundred dollars
now, in addition to the $il0 that
Beau owed'Ted Sloan-the $110 that
she would have to pay, as she knew
full well.
"Two hundred and ten d%ollarsi"
she groaned to herself. "Ill never
get it paid. Neverl" 1t was no
wonder that she had a hard time get
ting to sleep that night.
Her last troubled thought was how
to tell her mother about Beau's
elopement the next morning.
Five hours later she was awakened

Pennock May Play
Pennock's injury, suffered in bat
ting practice yesterday when he was
struck above the knee by a liner
from the left handed bat Of Cedric
burst, appeared serious although his
physician declared that the left
handler who has never been charged
with a worlds defeat, will be ready
10 work when the teams move to
New York.
Some OF the pitchers teammates
shook their heads in doubt.
IL Pennock should be denied par
t%icipation in the series he will lose
an opportunity to tie or break the
record Of Jack Coombs, former pitch
err for the Philadelphia Athletics and
Brooklyn Nationals who won five
world series games and was not de-
feated. Coombs won three for the
athletics in 1910, one the next year
and one in 1916 for Brooklyn. He
pitched three innings for the Ath-
ietics in 1914, but the performance
did not near anything in worlds
series records.
