It is sponsored by Supt. L. M. Haupt man and produced by a staff of high Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irtilate ihe kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup . Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxa tive; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child. school people. The paper is given free to adults represented in school by children and free to real estate tax payers. It will be issued each month.

OPP0BTUNITY FOB BOYS TO JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS Persuant to a meeting of the Leg ion Scout committee Monday night, it was decided to ascertain the exact number of boys of twelve years and older who are not now Boy Scouts and desire to join, in order to con clude arrangements for the forming of a second troop here. Accordingly, ail bo3 who wish to become Scouts are requested to leave their names, age and other desired information with E. H. Wescott at the Wescctt clothing store not later than next Friday, October 12th. There is already a waiting list of some ten or twelve boys who should not be denied the privileges of Scout ing because the one troop now exist ant here is recruited to its permitted strength. As soon as the survey is completed and it can be definitely as certained how many boys want to come into Scouting and are willing to study and work to advance in proper manner, steps will be taken to rem edy the situation. The crying need is for adult lead ership, as it is difficult to find men who can give the required time to the program. The proposed troop will have to be sponsored by an or ganization of the town, backed by an active troop committee and led by a capable Scoutmaster, with one or more adult assistant Scoutmasters. As coon as the survey is completed arrangements will be made so that no bey desiring to really become a Scout and put forth the effort required to remain one, will be denied that privi lege. The local Legion troop is planning cn sponsoring a Marionette show in the near future at the Library audi torium to enable continuing the tele phone service at the Scout cabin and meet other incidental expense con nected therewith.

(My commission expires Oct. 17. 1939) Wabash News William Reuter is having a new furnace installed at the farm, along with some other improvements and will realize much convenience from the same when the cold wintry days arrive. Frank Colbert, Bert Austin and Lester Bothworth were over to Weep ing Water last Tuesday afternoon, where they were looking after some business matters for a few hours and visiting with friends as well. W. L. Murfin and Carl Jensen con tinue to go to Plattsmouth, where they are working for the Norfolk Packing company, getting in thirty hours per week sometimes and some times not. Traveling sixty miles to and from work is a long ways, but it is better than not having any employ ment, they aver. The Ladies Aid of the Wabash church were meeting with Mrs. Carl Hansen on last Tuesday afternoon, where they looked after the business demanding their attention in connec tion with the furtherance of the pro gram of the church. After this part of the meeting was concluded, they enjoyed a social hour and were en tertained by the genial hostess with a fine lunch. Attains Three Score and Ten John Browne, who says his mid dle name is "Careful" was born 70 ago on October 1st, and was duly celebrating his birthday anniversary last Monday, being well pleased that he has passed the alloted three score and ten years of man's span of life, and that he is able to do a day's work not only that but he does it every day of the year. Here's to you, our old friend, John C. Brown, may you have another seventy years of good health and many friends and prosper ity as well. Hauling Much Corn Fodder There is much corn fodder being hauled from east of Wabash, passing through Wabash and destined for Otoe county and the counties south of that. While there is little more than tedder as a crop here, people to the south are even worse off than in this section of the country and have to buy corn to feed their stock even now. It is no uncommon sight to see truck load after truckload passing through Wabash every day in the week. To Spend Winter in South Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hammond, of Davenport, Iowa, the latter a daugh ter of Mrs. Henrietta Lawton, were visiting in Murdock and Wabash and were guests of Mrs. Lawton for a short time.

Mrs. Lawton accompanied the daugh ter and son-in-law and will make her home in the south for the winter, at the home of her son, Fred Lawton. Saw the World Series John C. Browne, Herman L. Borne meier, Albert B. Stroemer, Ivy Mc Crory, Ralph Door and Arthur Din ges went to St. Louis the latter part of last week, where they took in the world series baseball games Saturday and Sunday, returning home this Monday morning. Although the out come is still undecided, they, like all true westerners, speak well of the Cardinals. We are sure they had a most enjoyable time and that getting to see the games was a real treat to each and every one of them, as they are all dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans. Glad you got to go, boys! FATALISM Could we but only see the end Of the obscure paths we tread, It might from many a stumble fend Our steps on the way ahead. We lay our plans, then sadly wake To find them naught but dreams; And then another view we take A perfect course it seems. But "best laid plans of mice and men," Bobbie Burns eaid, "gang agley"; And the rock of failure, once again, Is met on the stormy sea. Yet, even then, through flood and foam At length we reach the shore. Again to welcome friends and home, And a haven safe, once more. So destiny, that weaves the chain Which furnishes the test, But demonstrates our schemes are vain And that whatever is, is best. "K" RETURN FROM COLORADO Charles R. Troop of this city, with his brother, W. O. Troop of Nehawka, have returned home from a short business trip to Colorado. They visit ed the sections of the state where Mr. C. R. Troop has land Interests and checked the conditions there and the prospects for the crop for the suc ceeding season.
