BULL SNAKE DEAD;
 CHICAGO COPS WIN
IS Bullet Holes in Six Foot Rep.
 tile in Restaurant

Chicago, Juno l. (UP)-The Loops great snake hunt is ended. but it took two detectives and a hal: dozen uniformed officers to rid the business district of six foot bull snake.
 The snake caused a near riot Mon- day night when it calmly slithered its way into a restaurant. Two po- licemen emptied their guns, butithe snake crawled on unharmed. That tho policemen were excited was tes- tified by the fact that they insisted it was fully 12 feet long.
 This morning an employe in the restaurant spied the bull snake talk ing its morning nap in the base ment. He called police and the eight officers stood at respectful distance. opening fire at a given sig nal.
 It sounded to passersby like re- newal of the gang war. A large crowd gathered. apeculating on the number of dead. The fears were al- layaS when the officers emerged from the restaurant proudly bearing the snake. The snake bore IS bullet holes.
 The corpus deficit was removed to police headquarters where it will be stuffed, mounted and exhibited as proof that Chicago police get their game.

 Most Popular Laxative

When Dr. Caldwell started 10 practice 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 physics and purges for the relief of consti- patton which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beinEs to put into their system. So he wrote prescription for laxative 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. Gala wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vego. table remedy, intended for women. children and elderly people. and they need just such mild. safe. gentle bowel stimulant as Syru? 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 a year proves that it has won the con- fidence of people who needed 1t to get relief from headaches, bilious ness. natulcnce. indigestion. loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath. dys- pepsia. colds and fevers.
