SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for .
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. It has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, fiatulence, indi.
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath. dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your

Proper Selection of
Vines Most Important

There is much beauty in vines
properly chosen and well placed. A
little thought regarding the purpose
for which each vine is planted will
enable you to choose the proper one,
The vines which cling to brick and
masonry have little growths along
their stems which become fastened
to the wall. Such vines as Boston
ivy, English ivy and climbing eyono-
nous belong in this group. Other
types of vines grown against walls
must have artificial support.
Many vines have a particular value
In their flowers, such as climbing
roses, wisteria and clematis These
are all adaptable to lattice and trellis
Vines with climbing habit, and heavy
foliage have their place in screening
and completely covering large spaces
The Virginia creeper, Dutchman's
pipe, clematis, bittersweet and honey
sxalzae are examples. They make ex-
cellent coverings for pergolas.
Sometimes It is fruitings qualities
that are desired. The bittersweets,
matrimony vines. climbing roses and
others have attractive fruits for pick
ing or for winter color and interest.
As important as the choice Of vines,
is their proper placing. Vines on
houses should enhance the architec-
ture and not obliterate it from view.
The outside chimney usually seems
cold and unattractive without the
companionship Of vine. -,t

: Building
Ways to Hide Ugliness
of High Foundations

"a G1A&A XOOkA06GAQAAS
High bare foundations are distinctly
out Of style nowadays, especially when
they are conspicuous and Of lighter
color than the house, but the way to
cover them up or make them disap-
pear in some way, is not so easy to
find. Very often the lawn can be
graded up to the top of the founda-
ton, or almost the top. A load or two
Of dirt is not expensive, and can be
graded up to conceal almost all the
foundation around the front part Of
the house. 1t might be we'll to terrace
it instead of merely sloping it down
adds pleasant variety to the con-
tour Of a lawn; this would be prac-
tically necessary If the lawn is deep.
Planting shrubs all around the house
will also serve fairly effectively to
conceal this broad strip. Cement
foundations are perhaps the worst Of
tenders in foundations, because the
white of cement is so conspicuous.
One interesting example of Identifying
was recently cited;- The house was
of light chocolate color, and the
trimming, cream. Against the walls of
the house, the white foundation was
extremely ugly. The painter cleaned
the surface of the concrete well, ap-
piled a coat of cement and concrete
paint in color to match the siding;
when it was dry he applied a coat of
lead-in-oil paint, harmonized well with
the siding and the foundation disap-
peared from sight.

Salt Will Kill Weeds

Weeds which grow close to a fOun-
dation where it is difficult to cut them
may be destroyed in the following
manner providing it is not planned to
grow something in the immediate
proximity. j.
Dissolve approximately one pound
Of rock salt in pail of clean water;
mix thoroughly until dissolved and
pour as close to the wall as possible.
The solution will kill the roots of the
weeds. 81:
A salt solution Is also excellent for
killing weeds in a cinder drive where
they persist in coming up.

Plants Provide Wall

The walls or barriers separating the
garden from the rest of the grounds
may often be of plant materials.
Plants used in this manner can be
very effective in serving as screen
and providing a truly beautiful ele-
ment in the general landscape scheme.
The barrier may itself become pic
ture. Where strict formality is de.
sired, it can also be obtained in plant
materials, if the varieties which can
be clipped are Used.

Acres of flowers were planted on the

ST. LOUIS COUNTY
ROAD AID IS s127,5OO
S45,OOO GRANTED FOR STATE AID
HIGHWAYS AND $82,500 FOR
COUNTY AID ROUTES.

st. Louis county has been allotted
a total of $127,500 of state money to
use on it's highways, according to in
formation received by The Miner from
the State Highway department. OF
this amount $4,000 comes from the
one mill tax for use on state aid
roads and $500 from the new gas
tax fund for use on other roads to
be designated as county aid roads.
The gas tax allotment is based on
an estimate that the gas tax receipts
for 1929 will reach $8,250,000, making
the counties one third $2,750,000. IN
der the law the minimum to any
county is y per cent of this amount,
or 20,625.
The allotment board consists of j.
A. Schmahl, state treasurer, r. G.
Chase, state auditor and G. M. Bah
cock, commissioner of highways War
rants will be sent to the county audi
tors by the state auditor August l OF
their pro rata share of all money in
the fund received up to July /. Money
received the last half of the year will
be distributed February. If the gas
tax receipts should be greater or less
than estimated the payments to the
counties will be increased or decreased
proportioately. Due to the fact that
the increase in the gas tax from to
cents did not take effect until May
/, and also because gas consumption
is less in the first half of the year,
it is likely that the payments August
1 will be about one third OF the
amounts allotted to each county.
The law provides that the county
aid shall be allotted on the basis Of
area, mileage of county and town
roads, and traffic needs. There being
no statewide traffic data available, the
allotment this year was made on the
basis of area and road mileage, except
in few counties where unusual
traffic conditions were held to justify
additional aid The board hopes to
have more data on traffic needs before
the next allotment is made.
The three large counties, contribu-
ting total of more than 40 per cent
of the gas tax, were each allotted $82,-
500, the per cent maximum allowed
by law.
The total available in the state aid
fund is 81 1864, 300. Regular allotments
total $1,834,492, special allotments
$98,458 and $31, $40 is credited to the
reserve maintenance fund. The three
large counties were allotted $4,000
each from this fund, somewhat less
than the maximum. The minimum
allotment is $19,543. In all counties
where the proceeds of the one mill tax
exceed this minimum the allotment
is equal to or greater than the tax, ex-
cept in Hennepin, Ramsey and st.
Louis counties.

SCHOOL THESP|ANS
DO FINE WORK

Shakespeare's GAS You Like It" was
given by the Ely High School Senior
Glass at the Washington Auditorium
on Friday evening to packed audi
torium.
The play was well given and created
considerable enthusiasm. The several
pupils essaying the heavy roles Of this
immortal drama showed ability in
mastering the difficult lines Miss
Mama Forbes, who directed the play
evidenced rare ability in producing the
overly difficult play with q minimum
of mishaps. When it Is considered
that the greatest actors of both the
English and American stage spent
lifetime mastering the portrayals of
ShapeSpeare'S characters, it shows
much effort and directing force in so
successfully rendering GAS You Like
It" on Friday night.
Not the least pleasing of the enter
tainment was the excellent selections
played by the High School orchestra
between the acts.
Those who had parts in the play
were the following: Lowell Anderson,
Frank Sasek, John Nankervis, Reyno
Koski, Clarence Thompson, John

Wilbur Cook, Reyno Passi, Matt

ELECTRIFYING A NATION.

While the electric industry was con-
ceived to furnish light, it now fur
niShes motive power for from IS to 70
per cent of manufacturing facilities
of the country, according to Vice
President Farrar of the Electric Bond
and Share Company.
The $500 power companies in Our
Country serve 100000 customers and
are reaching on an average of 2,000,-
600 more each year. Output doubled
in the six-year period from 1909 to
1915, and during the following six years
again doubled.
10 meet this expansion, millions Of
plain, everyday American citizens
have invested $9,500,C00 in electric Sc
curities and are expected to inves5
another $9O0,0OO,OoO this year to build
new projects and extend lines to every
nook and corner of the land, like the
rural mail delivery system.
While the cost of living today Is
two and one-half times what it was
in 1890, the cost of electricity is but
one third of what it was at that time,
according to a review just issued by

With the exceptions of 1918 and
1925, electricity has decreased in cost
every year since 1890. The average

ANTI-PISTOL Laws IRRATIONAL.

In attempts to curb crime we'll
meaning people often advocate laws
to make the sale and possession Of
small arms illegal
It is interesting to note just what
effect anti-pistol laws have had in
practice. nj New York, which has its
drastic Sullivan law applying to small
arms, there is no dearth of crime. The
underworld which does not pause at
robbery and murder, is not stopped by
a felony law against gun ownership.
Large American cities are hot-beds Of
crime Yet most of them have anti
pistol laws of some kind.
AS matter of fact, the most repre-
hensible and best organized criminal
activities, gang outrages, employ ma
chine guns and automobiles almost
exclusively, because of their greater
destructive possibilities. 1t is note
worthy that in number of COM
munities where strict anti-pistol laws
are in effect, machine guns are openly
sold
A citizenry which owns guns and
knows how to shoot them Is a strong
protection against underworld depre-
dations Laws which make protection
difficult for the law-abiding, defeat
their own object and aid the criminal
class.

WHO Is A CONsERvATIONIsT?

(Fairmont Daily Sentinel0
Much of this conservation talk and
effort is mere twaddle.
Many conServationiStS merely want
to head off the other fellow so that
they can do the destroying themselves.
There is an overload of that spirit
in the numerous organizations claim
ing conservation as their object.
A real conServationiSt should be de-
voted to some such program as this:
Be content to see migratory fowl
resting upon our waters or pursuing
their journeyings without wanting to
shoot and kill;
Look upon the fur bearing animals
in their natural habitat without covet-
ing the money their hides will bring
on the market;
Behold a forest without mental
calculation as to what they would put
into his pocket when reduced to lum-
Der or other products;
Consider a lake or stream without
wanting to drain and destroy 1T Tor
the sake of few tillable acres;
Permit fish to inhabit the waters
without the primal urge to yank them
hence and hear them Sizzle in the skill
let that he may gorge on what ne
probably does not need;
Gaze with pleasure upon the beauty
of wild flowers without the ruthless
impulse to gather them and cause
their disappearance.
The true conservationist carries no
rod or gun, yet gains the greatest
pleasure from nature.
The Indian, usually accounted de-
Stroyer, was a true conSerVor or ma
lures bountieS.
For centuries this region was his
home.
For his livelihood he took of that
provided by the Great Spirit In the
stream, forest and plain. For his
needs only he hunted.
When disposseSSed by the white man
he yielded back to the Great Spirit
what he had received, giving good
account of his stewardship.
He left forests unScathed, the fer
tile soil undepleted, the bison and the
deer in numbers as he had found
them, the waters undistured, the fish
and the fowls of the air undiminished.
The white deSpoilers, calling them
selves sportsmen and custodianS of the
worlds civilization came, taking pos
session of what the red man had
found sufficient for centuries, without
destruction.
The sad story of three quarters of
century OF white dominion finds our
forests gone, our soil already robbed
of it's fertility, our food animals, birds,
and fish vanishing, water reservoirs
acknowledgements the record of
pillage and destruction for temporary
gain or sacrifice i'll the name of sport.
There is but one way to conserve.
That is to quit destroying.
The mad scramble tor wealth and
pleasure, directed against the once
sufficient bounty Of nature, if per-
sisted in will reduce a region of
plenty to desert waste, incapable Of
sustaining human life.
