Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
iractice 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
oeinga to put into their system. So
he wrote 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 DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven it's worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used q year
proves that it has won the confidence
Of people who needed it to get relief
from headaches, biliousness, tlatu.
ience, indigestion, loss of appetite
and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. CaIdwell's Syrup Pep
ain, and if you will once start using
it you will also always have bottle
handy fos esaeygenoseA .

The male long-horned grasshop-
pers and crickets fiddle by rubbing
their wing covers together. The
male of the field crickets chirps by
rubbing the file on the under side
Of one wing against the roughened
surface on the upper side of the
other.
Crickets can be made pets and
kept indoors to sing in the win
ter months, but keep them away
from your woolens, The genus
srullus has. an omnivor0us appe-
tite and will soon eat holes in
wooden clothing. 1t is suggested by
one entomOlogist that a lantern
globe set on soil in a pot will make
a good cage. Lettuce. moist bread

Only that amt any idee | want

What say to it?"
Once more Brennan looked Simon
Judd in the face What he sought
was the eye Of an insane man-tho
eye OF man who might have como
to this house and murdered John
Drane to make case worth solving.
Or, perhaps, the eye of man who
had held a grudge against John
Drane and had come here to satisfy
it. What he saw, if he could il &c,
was the keen eye of man who as
not such fool as he locked the "a

The girl went into the house and
Simon Judd looked after her When
he saw she was gone he drew closer
to Brennan.

Re TER WAY TO
BOIL EGGS

There are several ways Of cook.
ing q soft. boiled egg-the best of
which is not to boil it at all,
Use one pint of boiling water for
each egg to be cooked. Carefully
lower the egg into the water. cover
the saucepan and let stand on back
OF stove for eight or ten minutes.
Do not increase or diminish heat.
The white Of the egg will be tender
and the yolk firm all the way
through, instead OF the yolk being
partly uncooked and the white very
tough as is the case with three
minute boiled egg.
Still another way is to put the egg
on in cold water and remove as soon
as the water boils.
Remove egg from shell to a hot
egg cup and add q large piece of
butter, bit of salt and two or three
drops of Worcestershire Sauce.
Blend well and serve at once.

One Of the first things the house,
keeper checks when she is making
her market list is the supply of
bread on hand. If she makes her
own supply of this staple Of staples,
she will. Of course. make sure
there ii plenty Of bread flour and
will not forget to put yeast on her
order list. Even when home made
bread is baked regularly in the
household, q loaf Of baker bread
for toast is often put as regularly
on the list.
There are All kinds of other uses
besides that Of rounding out the
meal which can be- made of bread.
You are all familiar with some Of
these such as bread pudding and
brown betty, that intimate name
for scalloped apples. Perhaps you
also put chocolate bread pudding
among your favorite desserts.
French toast, sometimes known as
German or Spanish toast fried
bread served with syrup or honey
makes a.quick and delicious lunch
con dessert. Another variation Of
toast which Ii even easier to make
than fried bread Is n1armalade
toast.
