Unusual Pear Tree
Flourishing in Iowa

Fort Madison, Iowa.-Edward G.
Dobey claims to have pear tree
which is unique in horticulture. The
tree is more than 80 feet high. 1t
produces a crop of from % to 80
bushels. But the harvest is a fruit
about the size of a mans fist,
round, and without the characteris-
tic protuberance near the stem
which marks all other pear species.
The tree is about 100 years old,
and none now living knows its
origin.

WOMEN: wotch your
30 w ELS

What should women do to keep their
bowels moving freely? A doctor
should know the answer. That is why
pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for
women. 1t just suits their delicate
organism. 1t is the prescription of an
old family doctor who has treated
thousands of women patients, and
who made a special study of bowel
troubles.
1t is fine for children, too. They
love its taste. Let them have it every
time their tongues are coated or their
skin is sallow DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harm
less ingredients.
When you've a sick headache,
can't eat, are bilious or sluggish;
and at the times when you are most
apt to be constipated, take a little of
this famous prescription (all drug
stores keep it ready in big bottles),
and you'll know why DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative
of over a million womenl

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 1S CO..
P.)-Under a blazing desert sun far
out in the wastes of the Arizona
uesertland, chieftains of the mesa
dwelling Hopi Indians snake clans
are turning their attention toward
the most savage of southwestern
Indian rituals-the HOpi Snake
Dance. The rites will be held Au-
gust 1920.
Mystic signs, shadows cast by
the sun or moon, according to
legend, set the date for the Hopis
to plead for the Gods of the Un-
derworld to send ram. Runners
carry news of the date across the
desert to the seven mesas about
Is days before the dance.
If custom is followed, dances
will be held at Walpi and Mis-
honghovi, because this season in
Eopi calculations is an odd num-
bered year. On eeven-numbered
years the ceremonies are held at
Hotevilli, Shipaulovi and Shun-
gopovi, larger of the settlements.
Dead Clan Leader
Mystery shrouds the death OF
Chief Shu-pela, high priest Of the
Snake Clan. Whether successor
will be named the Indians de-
clined to say, but the ceremonies
will continue as usual. The ageC
clan leader, director of the cere-
monies for many years, died last
winter and fears that the dances
would be discontinued were cur

For years Chief :Shu-pela di-
rected the ceremony. He partici-
