next Importance, then, is how 10
treat it when it comes. DIR. Cald-
well always was in favor of getting
IS close to nature as possible,
hence his remedy for constipation,
known as DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin. is a mild vegetable compound.
Tt can not harm the most delicate
system and is not a habit forming
preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleas.
ant-tasting, and youngsters love it.
1t does not grippe. Thousands OF
mothers have written us to that
effect.
DIR. CALDWELL did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hut
man beings to put into their sys-
TENS. In q practice of AZ years ne
never saw any reason for their Use
when a medicine like Syrup Pep
sin will empty the bowels just as
promptly. more cleanly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation 1t
robs your strength. hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let q day 90 by
without q bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope. but 60 to q druggist
and get one OF the generous bottles
OF Syrup Pepsin. Take the proper
dose that night and by morning you
will feel like q different person.

and from his home on earth he went
to home in heaven.
Young, enterprising, Industrious, and
devoted to the material advancement of
his community, he was a type of the
progressive man of today.
This death which seems so premature
is yet part of the inscrutable design the
perfectness of which may not be
questioned, and out of it good will come
which is now hidden. He was of those
who even though death do good, and
so post-humously work out the economy
of Providence for
GAS thrills Of long hushed tone
Live in the viol, so our souls grow fine
With keen vibrations from the touch
divine
Of Nobler natures gone"
The most compensating thought of his
early death-he was only thirty-five-
lies in the reflections that he had lived
a life of almost unparalleled fulness,
crowded to the brim with those ex-
periences and achievements which he
particularly aspired to have. He left
while the tide was at its flood. He
escaped the bitterness of seeing the ebb
set in. Peacefully he has crossed over
the river and under the perennial shades
of the leal lands, he awaits the coming
of the beloved sisters and brothers and
of the heart-broken companion-always
worthy of his love-devoted to him
ever dear to him. Dear ones, look up
to the hills crimsoning with eternal
morn! That happy reunion will more
than make up for the parting, and the
joyous welcome will obliterate the sad
good bye.
Goodnight, Good byel Above our
sorrow,
Comradel thine is fair good tomorrow
In some far luminous world of light,
Yet, take this farewell-Love's last
token;
We leave thee to thy rest unbroken-
God have thee in his care-Good night"
