RENOWNED HERB

JACKSON, MISS, Nov 16-The
startling career of a colored faith-heal-

He was taken in custody at Wood Greek

Meanwhile, the complainant declared
he would have a complaint filed fol-

Doctor Found Women
and Children Sick
More Often than Men

AS a family doctor at Monticello,
Illinois, the whole human body, not
any small part of it, was DR.. Cald-
wells practice. More than half his
''calls" were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most
often sick But their illnesses were
usually of a mild nature - colds,
fevers, headaches, biliousness - and
all of them required first a thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
In the course of DR.. CaldwelPs Az
years practice Che was graduated
from Rush Medical College back in
1879, he found good deal of sue
cess in such cases with a prescription
of his own containing simple Taxa
tive herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he
decided to use this formula in the
manufacture Of a medicine to be
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and in that year his prescription
was first placed on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great a success in the drug stores
as it previously had in DR.. CaldwelPs
private practice. Now, the third
generation is using it. Mothers are
giving it to their children who were
given it by their mothers. Every
second of the working day someone
somewhere is going into drug store
to buy it. Millions Of bottles Of Or.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin are being
used year.
It's great success is based on merit,
on repeated buying, on one satisfied
user telling another. There are thou
sands of homes in this country that
are never without bottle of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we
have gotten many hundreds Of let
tiers from grateful people telling US
that it helped them when everything
else failed.

VOTE CONDITION
IN THE SOUTH To
DE FULLY PROBED
Supporters Of Smith And
Ware Plan To Hit Back At
Southern Democrats

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-Pre-
pairing for the impending fight over the
seating of Senators-elect William S.
Ware of PENNSYLVANIA and Frank l..
Smith of Illinois, an exhaustive PROBE
into the disfranchisement practices IN
the southern states is under contem-
plation.
The Republican supporters Of Ware
and Smith already have their agents
at work collecting evidence to show the
extent to which the letter and spirit
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments are being violated in the south.
This evidence is to be used primarily
to coerce southern democrats into with
drawing from the opposition to Ware
and Smith, but it also may aid incl
dentally in reScuing the stolen vote OF
the black man in the south.
Question Right of Congress
The opposition to the seating OF ware
and Smith is based mainly upon the
large sums of money spent nthe Penn
sylvania and Illinois primaries. 1t IS
claimed that the primary is an integral
part of the election and that Congress
therefore has right to regulate it.
Republican senators who favor the
seating of the two men declare that if
Congress has the right to regulate the
primaries in Illinois and Pennsylvania.
it has also the right to regulate the
notorious white primaries" in many
of the southern states, which are closed
to black voters.
An analysis of election returns from
southern states made by Senator David
A. Reed, Republican Of Pennsylvania,
reveals the fact that Democratic Sena-
tors from these states won their cleo
tons with vote of less than two per
cent of the population of their states.
Typical examples are cited in the

Columbia ruled Monday that James

over to the southern officers. A writ
of habeas corpus was filed, but denied
Then an appeal was taken, counsel fol-
defense contending that five errors had
been made.
The Ruling
The Court of Appeals held that il
was not necessary for the indictment
to state when the offenSe was COM
mitted, but that it is sufficient to show
that the fugitive has been charged with
crime in the state fro mWhich he fled
The question of whether an OffenSe
is eXtraditable, the court held, is moi
open to inquiry in habeas corpus pro-
ceedingS. Counsel for Blevins had con-
- tended that he was not guilty of ar
extraditable offense.
The court dismissed the contention
that the indictment was part Of 6
conspiracy to collect a debt. 1t helt
that the question of whether the pro-
ceedings were instituted by improper
motives will not be considered in habeas
corpus proceedings.

valid because the grand jury that re-

port Of their appeal to set aside the

The colored Shrine had existed in
the state of Texas for IS years and
