Women should
take only
liquid
laxatives
T0RE people could feel fine, be
fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose of
which can't be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use a liquid laxative,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
m Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time, snd that's why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin '
Ask your drucgist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and if
it doesn't give you absolute relief, if
it isn't a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes any sluggishness or
biliousness, your money back.

the brother for some four years, sent
a letter to Mr. Stanley stating she was
coming to visit them and asking that
he meet her at Lincoln. However,
Sherman Hardaway had gone to Mis
souri and Mr. Stanley was unable to
get away, so Mrs. Morgan came on to
Wabash via the Missouri Pacili"
train. They are enjjying a most
pleasant visit together.
Large Amount of Seed Corn
John C. Browne has in storage at
the elevator some 2, Sou bushels of
seed corn, which is owned by Rey
Frederick of the Frederick Seed com
pany of Nebraska City, Murray and
Greenwood. The corn has been closely

after which the greater part of ii
will be shipped to the east for seed,
although some of it will be disposed of
the farmers of this vicinity who are
desirious of getting some extra good
seed corn for the coming year.
Seeing; the South
Sherman Hardaway, who formerly
lived at Fairplay, Mo., together with
his wife and William Reuter and on
Albert, left a few days ago for that
section of the country, where Mr. and
Mrs. Hardaway are visiting with the
friends of their old home town, and
Mr. Reuter and son are visiting with
relatives in that part of the country.
They took their gun3 along to hunt
quail and rabbits should the oppor
tunity arise, but the opportunity ff
visiting relatives and friends is the
prime object of their trip.

Wabash store, is running the busi
ness himself at this time as Sherman
Hardaway, the manager, has gone to
Missouri on a visit. Speaking of the
matter of running the store, Roy de
clared. "I am willing that Sherman

covery. Her children, Mrs. Grace
Moore, residing in the southern part
of tbe state, and Mr. and Mrs. Clar
ence Ohms, of South Bend, were call
ed to her bedside and the pleasure at
being able to see them proved as much
a tonic as any medicine.

was put on by the Wabash school lat
Friday night, the receipts of which
are to be used in beautifying the
school room. The program was fol
lowed by a box social at which there
was some lively bidding for some if
the favorite boxes, and the sale was
most satisfactory. The teacher anl
pupils are to be congratulated on the
fine program rendered, which shows
that even a school with fcmall at
tendance can really do things when
they set about the task with determi
nation. It was a credit to schools of
much larger enrollment.
