Prejudice Is a
Serious Menace
Prejudice Is a hard thing to overcome,
but where health Is at stake and the
opinion of thousands of reliable people
differs from yours, prejudice then be
comes your menace and you ought to
lay It aside. This Is said In the Inter
est of people suffering from chronic
constipation, and It Is worthy of their
attention.
In the opinion of legions of reliable
American people the most stubborn
constipation Imaginable can Tie cured
bv a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. You may not have heard of It
before, but do not doubt Its merits on
that account, or because It liaB not been
blatantly advertised. It haB sold very
successfully on word of mouth recom
mendation. Parents are giving It to
their children today who were given It
by their parents, and It has been truth
fully said that more druggists use It
personally in their families than any
ether laxative.
Letters recently received from Mr.
E. M. Connelly, Genoa Jet., AVIs.,
and Mrs. E. Bolch, Hatfield, AVIs.,
•re but a few of thousands show
ing the esteem In which Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin Is held. It Is mild,
gentle, non-grlplng—not violent, like
■alls or cathartics. It cures gradually
and pleasantly so that In time nature
again does Its own work without out
bids aid. Constipated people owe It to
themselves to use this grand bowel

Trying to Catch the "Aura.”
From tho Springfield Republican.
Seeing "something" Ii ave the human
body at death Is a claim which has
been heard of in times past, but the
Chicago papers present a physician of
high standing, Dr. Patrick S. O’Donnell,
an X-ray specialist, who makes the
statement that ho has witnessed a vis
ible "flight of life" from a dying per
son. Ho used to be associated with Dr.
W. J. Kllner, of London, who lias lately
published a book, "The Human Atmos
phere or Aura.” Some time ago Dr.
O'Donnell Invited a number of physi
cians to a demonstration In the observ
ance of this "aura,” or sort of elec
trical radiation from the body and de
veloping It. The medium used was a
chemical film of undescribed composi
tion placed between two small plates of
glass. Persons were then located at the
end of a dark passageway and observed
through the glass. At the demonstra
tion, It Is said, all tho physicians pres
ent made positive admission of seeing
such an emanation or aura. Later on
I)r. O’Donnell alone sought observation
through a similar medium of a dying
person—a charity patient In one of the
hospitals. When It was said the man
had but a few minutes to live Dr.
O'Donnell began his observation, and
now reports:
“I looked at tho man through tho
screen for almost half an hour. Tlio
auro was plainly distinguishable. Tho
attending doctor said the patient was
sinking rapidly. 1 did not take my eyes
from the subject. Suddenly the physi
cian announced that death had oc
curred. At the same Instant the aura,
which ns a bright light, hnd been ra
diated from tho body at all points, be
gan to spread from tho body and dis
appeared. Further observation of tho
corpse revealed no sign of aura.”
Dr. O’Donnell regards the discovery
as of value In ascertaining tho nature
of diseases and ns of more Importance
than the X-rny. He Is very far as yet
from assorting an Identity of the aura
with soul or spirit, but that is appar
ently tho Inference and tho next ques
tion to he answered by him will be
whether animals have such aura, or
souls.
The Magician from Georgia.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
General Grenville M. Dodge, president
of the Society of the Army of the Ten
nessee, was talking one Memorial day In
Council Bluffs about railroading.
"The best piece of railroad work I ever
heard of.” he said, "was performed In
1S«4 In Maryland. Tho confederates were
in great need of a locomotive, and their
only hope was to capture one. So a small
band of men was selected from Lee’s
army and placed under the command of
a tall Georgian who had been a foreman
of a quarry and knew a good deal about
derricks and rigging.
"Well, the Georgian took his men Into
Maryland, they tore up a section of the
Balllmore & Ohio tracks, nagged the nrst
train and, with nothing but rope, dragged
a locomotive 67 miles up hills, across
streams, through woods and swamps, till
they struck a line built by the confeder
acy.
"When tho president of the Baltimore &
Ohio heard of this feat he would not be
lieve It. He went out and personally In
spected the route, and he said on his re
turn that ti was the most wonderful piece
of engineering that had ever been accom
plished. After the war he sent for the
tall Georgian and, on the strength of that
one exploit, made him roadmaster of the
whole Baltimore & Ohio.
" ’Any man,’ Mr. Garrett said, "who can
pick up a locomotive with fishing lines
and carry It over a mountain has passed
his civil service examination with rne.’ ”
A Mighty Mean Man.
From the Saturday Evening Post.
Tho into Senator Elkins, of West
Virginia, was exceptionally good ,
natured and spent much of his ttmo i
trying to redeem promises of Jobs and
legislation he made when approached
by constituents he hated to refuse.
One day Senator Carter said to him:
"Steve, why In thunder do you make all
these promises and then stew around
trying to make good on them?"
"That reminds me of a trip 1 once
made across Iowa by stage,” said El
kins. "I rodo on the box with the stage
driver, end we spent se\eral days get
ting to Council Bluffs. The driver was
acquainted all along the line. He had
a dog that usually traveled with him,
but on this trip the dog wasn't there.
He was asked about tho dog at every
stopping place and ».e explained that
she had Just become the mother of a
fine litter of pups. Each person to
whom he made this explanation asked
for one of the pups and In each case
the driver promised one.
"When we got to Council Bluffs I said
to him: 'My friend, I have heard you
promise about 40 pups on the way
across the state. How many pups did
that dog of yours have?' ”
"Four," he replied.
“ 'Well,' 1 asked, 'why did you promise
to give away about 40?’
“ ‘Mister,’ he said, 'did you ever stop
to think It's a mighty mean man who
won't promise a friend a pup?' ”
The French Forces in Africa.
Charles Furlong, In World's Work.
The French, like the ancient Romans
and the British in India, support their
power In the conquered territory by
means of native troops. In extending
her Algerian military system, trained
native troops were gradually substi
tuted for French regiments, then Into
these native regiments there has con
stantly entered a sprinkling of French
and other Europeans so that they have
developed a Fiancohybrld force. This
mixed conglomerate has a remarkable
homogeneity of esprit de corps. Accli
mated In the rugged mountain regions
of tho coast, and able to withstand tho
heat of the flree sun-scorched hills and
plains and deserts of tho south, It Is
an effective, hardened, unscrupulous
fighting machine, composed of season
ed veterans—soldiers of fortune, whose
regiment is their country. They are
particularly adapted to protecting this
territory.
It Is safe to Bay t,hat, at the present
time, her military force In Tunisia, Al
geria and Morocco probably amounts
to over 100.000 men.
Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EX
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.
A carload of grain In straw, grasses
and other of the products of Western.
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the “Back to the land movement” will
find in the Canadian exhibit one of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit -will attract
a great deal of attention, and some
marvelous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
It is true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk of that now to be had lies north
of the Saskatchewan river in a por
tion of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large quan
tity of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay is plenti
ful and consequently fodder for ani
mals is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show com
mencing on the 18th of November
and closing on Dec. 8th, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES ;
“Four years ago I hail places break
out ou my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. I would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it “dry
eczema.” I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what I needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until I got
the Cuticura Remedies which have ;
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, I have never felt
any of its pest, and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always uso the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.”

quart of berries, add one pint of water,
and boll five minutes. Press through a
sieve, return to kettle, and add one
pound of sugar. Stir until sugar has
dissolved, boll for a minute, and turn
into a mold. Stand over night in a
| cool place before serving.
Carnegie’s Great Reform.
•'What do I think the greatest re
form of the present day?” asks Mr.
Andrew Carnegie in the Strand.
“What single act would I select for
instant consummation if I had the
power? I would enact the abolition of
war. i would abolish war between na
tions, which belies our claims to civili
zation. As long as men kill each other
they are savages.” BiA think, adds
the editor, what a tremendous act this
would be, and of what far reaching sig
nificance. A decree would be signed
disbanding armies, dlsmanning navies,
I and putting ships, guns and weapons
| on a scrap heap. It is certainly dif
ficult to conceive of a more sweeping
reform than this, but if it were brought
about by a stroke of the pen it would
probably throw millions of men in idle
ness, and disorganize irreparably the
whole machinery of civilization.
