OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL.
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed .on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, Indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipac
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. 1t is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
ALI drug stores have the generous bottles,

conducted tour from the Capital to

clusiyely for the eXcursionists.
While Alaska is the principal goal
of the trip, efforts will be made to
show as much of the western part of
the United States as possible. One
day, for instance, will be devoted to
sightseeing trips around Salt Lake CITY.
and Columbia River gorge, in Wash
ington, will be on the itinerary. The
northern trip from Seattle will be
through the famous scenic inside pas

stripes alternating, and a union which
consists of white stars of five points
on blue field placed in the upper
quarter next the staff and extending
to the lower edge of the fourth red
stripe from the top. The number of
stars is the same as the number of
states in the union. The canton or
union now contains As stars arranged
In six horizontal and eight vertical
rows. each star with one point up
ward. On the admission of state
into the union star will be added to
the union of the flag, and such addi-
