WHAT DR. CALDWELL
LEARNED IN 47
YEARS PRACTICE
A physician watched the results of
constipation for 47 years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are of
their health, diet and exercise, constipa
tion will occur from time to time. Of
next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always
■was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti
?alien, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
epsin, is a mild vegetable compound.
It can not harm the system and is not
habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did not
believe they were good for anybody’s
•ystem. In a practice of 47 yearB he
never saw any reason for their use when
Byrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just
as promptly.
Do not iet a day go by without a
bowel movement. Do not sit and hope,
but go to the nearest druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin, or write ‘‘Syrup
Pepsin,” Dept. PB, Monticello. Illinois,
for free trial bottle.

“This is a cynical age,” declared
George Bernard Shaw, "and it till

Hours of Slumber
Sleep becomes a vicious habit when
carried to excess, says Dr. H. M. John
son, “sleep expert" at the University
of Pittsburgh. Most people, Johnson
believes, get sufficient rest in the
course of six and a half to nine hours
to carry them through the day and
make their work enjoyable. Sleep is

Brazil Is Extending
System of Highways
Expects to Shorten Route
from Capitol City to
Parana
Progress in highway construction
in Brazil is noted in reports re
ceived by the Pan American Union,
it was stated September 8. The full
text of the Union’s statement fol
lows:
A short time ago, the completion
of 300 miles of motor road con
necting the cities of Rio de Janeiro
and Sao Paulo. Now, the Pan Amer
ican Union records the completion
of a modern highway southward
from Sao Paulo almost to the bor
der of the adjoining state of Par
ana, a distance of about 230 miles.
Prom the border of the state of
Parana to the capital city, Curityba,
the distance via the proposed high
way route is approximately 60 miles.
Recently a sum of $240,000 was
made available by the state gov
ernment for constructing this link.
Work is now progressing, it is an
nounced, and when finished there
will be a continuous motor highway
from the Brazilian capital through
the state of Sao Paulo to the cap
ital of the state of Parana. Added
to this route, there are highways
extending from Rio de Janeiro via
Petropolis farther northward.
The journey between the cities of
Sao Paulo and Curityba by rail
road requires about 36 hours. When
the 60 miles of highway above men
tioned are finished the motor car
route will be much shorter then
the railroad, and the time of tran
sit may be cut to a third or a fourth
of that now needed for the rail trip.
The Oil Boom.
When the newly discovered oil
and gas fields of southeastern Kan
sas were changing a hitherto evenly
tenored little world, plodding rath
er staidly along toward a prosperous
future through the corn and wheat
fields, with the railroads as allies,
into a busy and somewhat bewil
dering industrial center, we were
just entering the first 10 years of
the present century. That period,
following, as it did. the delectable
"mauve decade,” veered so quickly I
from it that it was as if a door had |
been sharply and suddenly shut in
our faces
Some day I hope the story of that
era will be written as the scintil
lating romance that it was,, a ro
mance to which no mere history can
do justice. It was a heady pros
perity that overtook us, unawares,
and swept us off our feet with a
rush; we found ourselves unexpect
edly set in new grooves, and where
we had been as one great family
in the old home town, we uncon
sciously fell away into little social
groups from which eventually de
veloped that which we loosely term
“society.”
But the outward change began on
Main street in the tearing away of
unsightly little wooden shacks,
hangovers from the pioneer days
and distinctly eyesores. Brick
buildings shot up their stead, hous
ing the growing business of the
town and the resplendent offices of
the incoming promoters. I remem
ber one such office for the splendor
of its furnishings and its ephemeral
existence. The richly tinted walls
were all but covered with oil paint
ings of more or less value, the mas
sive furniture was solid mahogany,
and—we passed the word almost in
whispers among ourselves—$25 cus
pidors! It was intended to be im
pressive and it was.
But to do them justice I must say ;
that the average office of the oil I
promoter at that time was a busy [
place and distinctly minus the j
trimmings. Some of them intro- |
duced electric fans and replaced
battered typewriters with the latest

It was about the time of the wan
ing of the oil boom in Beaumont.
Tex., and the southeastern Kansas
field had been quietly opened and
systematically worked some time be
fore the rush began. For months
there had been a steadily eastward
moving line of oil tanks on the M -
K.-T. railroad, which bore no legend
of the field from which they came.
For months, too, the man who was
directing the work and keeping the
newly discovered field pretty well
under cover was a familiar figure,
middle aged, silent and grim,
around the leading hotel. He was
uncommunicative as to his busi
ness, which, in a small town, is a
sign of unfriendliness.
One day three keen faced, clear
headed young promoters stepped
briskly off the afternoon train from
Kansas City and from that time an

Q. How did coats-of-arms origin
ate? G. E. C.
A. The coat-of-arms is a relic of
medieval times of the armorial in
signia which were embroidered on
the cloth worn over the armor to
render a knight conspicuous in bat
tle. Heraldry was developed during
the Crusades when it was necessary
for a knight to have some mark by
which he might be known Later
the emblems were systemized and
recorded.
it was, as father used to say, "every
fellow for himself ad the devil help
the hindmost” in the oil business
Fortunes were made, lost and for
gotten. Romance budded and some
times flowered in society, and when
one of the three above mentioned
young promoters married the pretti
est stenographer in town we felt the
peak of drama had been touched.
I like to remember those days,
their varied activities, their gleams
of pure romance and flashes of
black tragedy. It was *n day when
the old men dreamed dreams and
the young men saw visions, accord
ing to the prophet Joel. Diamonds
sparkled on slender fingers over so
ciety card tables and dazzled the
eye from the multi-colored shirt
fronts of the newcomers on Main
street. "Big Bill” Kaney trundled
down through the business sections
in the first "devil wagon” I re
member seeing, his bulk seeming to
overflow the tiny red vehicle that,
clattered past our envious eyes.
"Jimmie” O'Hara—"Sunny Jim,”
they called him because of his im
pervious smile—rode gaily to the
field in his smart nitroglycerin wag
on in which he never permitted a
passenger to share his danger. And
Jimmie, the carefullest shooter in
the field, came to his predestined
end in Oklahoma some years after
leaving the old home town. No one
ever knew how it happened to one
so cautious as he, but only frag
ments of the blithe little Irishman,
the horse and wagon, were ever
found and tenderly laid away. One
other brother of Jimmie’s precari
ous calling, a gaunt, sad faced man,
carried an empty right sleeve as his
personal sacrifice to the game.
They were not, these oil well shoot
ers, the daredevils public fancy
would have them, but for the most
part serious minded men wrho took
their grim calling rather splendidly,
as a matter of course, and looked
forward to but one end.
Smile and Keep Cool.
It isn’t hot the hottest day
If you can go the smiling way;
It makes it cool to look upon
A man’s face shining in the sun
And see that it is shining fer
Not bitterness and hae and war,
But just for simple will to know
The inner light, the loving glow.
Smile and keep cool—it does a lot
To keep the world from feeling hot;
And from your smiling others take
A touch of smile for smiling’s sake.
To pass it on and help is swing
Through time and time till hard
men fling
Their somber thoughts away to turn
To happy thoughts that cheer and
burn.
It is a gift, but one you share
With others who have toil and care:
Thus round and round in joy it
goes—
The smile that brings the world a
rose,
The smile that lifts sad eyes until
All life is circled with the thrill
And hot days in their burning seem
Green gardens in a vale of dream.

WIFE MUST MATCH
HER SURROUNDINGS
Chicago.—Here is something for
the serious consideration of alleged
ly mistreated husbands.
The Illinois Retail Hardware as
sociation has found out why friend
wife has the uncalled for habit of
meeting you with a rolling pin when
you attempt to sneak in late at
night. It's because you haven't
matched your better half to her
surroundings.
They say that if your wife is
partial to red trimmed in gold it
would be suicidal to put her into a
kitchen decorated in sky-blue
trimmed with white. For the sake
of marital happiness they recom
mend that every husband provide
the madam with decorations and
utensils to suit her color complex.
Eating the “Profits.”
From Tit-Bits.
A young wife, two pennies short
in paying a bill, called to the cook:
"Maggie, have you a couple of
coppers downstairs?”
"Yes, ma’am,” replied Maggie;
"but they are cousins of mine.
Q Why is ermine considered the
royal fur? M. G.
A. Its beauty caused it to be worn
by royalty and King Edward III
made it a punishable offense for
any persons except those of royal
birth to wear It. This restriction
has long been removed, but the fur
fur still enjoys royal favor.
Talleyrand's Fame as
Diplomat Well Won
Madame De Steel, talking to Talley
rand, suddenly snapped at him, with
pointed coquctterlc:
"If Madame Giant and I had the
misfortune simultaneously to fall luto
the river before your eyes, which of
us two would you attempt to save
first?’* •
Talleyrand, old fox, answered smil
ingly :
“But, madurne, you are a perfect
swimmer.”
At dinner Talleyrand was once
asked what was the difference be
tween a diplomat and a woman of the
world. Instantly he replied:
“If a diplomat says ‘Yes' he means
‘Perhaps,’ if he says ‘Perhaps’ lie
means ‘No’; If he says ‘No,’ he is not
a diplomat. But If a lady says ‘No,’
she most likely means 'Perhaps'; If
she says ‘Perhaps’ she means ‘Yes';
but If she says ‘Yes.’ she is not a
woman of the world.”—Kunsas City

Cadw alder St., San

“Our physician told us to give her
some California Fig Syrup. It inude
her pick up right away, aud now she
is as robust and happy as any child
in our neighborhood. I give California
Fig Syrup full credit for her wonder
ful condition. It is a great thing for
children."
Children like the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup, and you can
give it to them as often as they need
it, because It is purely vegetable. For
over 50 years leading physicians have
recommended it, and its overwhelming
sales record of over four million bot
tles a year shows It gives satisfaction.
Nothing compares with it as a gentle
hut certain laxative, and It goe,s fur
her than tliis. It regulates tlie atom
ach and bowels and gives tone and
strength to those organs so they con
linue to act normally, of their own
accord.
There are many imitations of Cali
fornia Fig Syrup, so look for the name
‘California” on the carton to be sure
you get the genuine.
