liberal by reason of his acts; Roger
Williams, William Penn and James
Oglethorp.
These seven are notable figures in
the field of this consideration, and, if
we accept the evidence above adduced,
the greatest of them is Cecil Calvert,
in that he was the founder of the first
commonwealth based upon the posi-
tive practice of religious freedom and
the absolute separation of the funct-
ions of church and state.
Some time after the restoration of
the Calvert regime in 1859, George
Alsop, poet and narrator, set down his
observations of maryland" as the
Emblem of Tranquility" Here, he
quantity declared, "All inquisitions,
martyrdom and Punishment are not so
much as named \ The several
Opinions and Sects that lodge within
this Government meet not together
in mutinous contempts."
However, In it's utter lack of con-
scious purpose, the most appealing
testimony as to this happy state of
affairs is contributed by Friend Wen
lock Christison, who, after restlessly
passing from place to place in the
Old World and the New, had attemp-
ted to establish himself in Massachus-
sets. Here he Hwas cruelty whipped
and suffered confinement, from which
he emerged with his historic warning
to the Puritan magistrates, "Thar
we shed no more innocent blood" This
saying even school books have re-
ported, but nowhere is it recorded,
in any general narrative, re-
CARELESS of bulk, that following a
brief sojourn in Rhode Island, this
prosecuted Quaker finally turned to
Maryland. Here he purchased plot
of land and built himself a home,

Dr. Caldwelrs 3 Rules
 Keep You Healthy

1 Dr. Caldwell watched the resu.s
 Of constipation for 47 years. and
 believed that no matter how careful
 people are of their health. diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much one tries 10 avoid it. Of next import ance, then. is how to treat it when in favor of getting as close to na- ture as possible. hence his remedy i for constipation. known as Dr. Cald-
 wells Syrup Pepsin, is mild vege- table compound. It cannot harm the most delicate system and is not q habit forming preparation. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect.
 Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for hu- man beings 10 put into their system In a practice of AZ years he never saw any reason for their use when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. more cleanly and gently. without gripping and harm to the system.
 Keep free from constipation! lt robs your strength. hardens youi arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let day go by without a bowel movement Do not sit and hope, but go to a druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pcpsin. Take the proper dose that night and by morn. ing you will feel like different per son. Use Syrup pepsin for yourself
