"In time of war," this serious lad

the enemy cut all the telegraph lines,

"But doesn't it cost a good deal to

Now mark the words of wisdom that
fell from this boy's lips.
"I think I've spent about $100 on
mine," he said? "but I think I have
gotten more good out of it than that.
You learn a lot, and besides, if I
didn't have the wireless I'd want to
be out at night, doing something

Constipation, or inaction of the i
bowels, a condition that nearly every
one experiences with more or less
frequency, is the direct cause of much
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stom

quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to at

Mr. Nash before leaving. "Wc expect

Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon. John D. Keister of Bran

his district in the State Legislature
for six years, writes that he uses Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it
a splendid laxative, easy to take and

that it should be in every household
for use when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs I only fifty cents a

sufficiently powerful to act easily on
the strongest constitution.

substitutes be sure to get Dr. Cald

Relatives Usually Respond
In Blood Transfusion Cases
The relief of patients by transfusion
of blood is not a serious problem in
Omaha hospitals. Usually, when
transfusion is necessary, relatives or
friends respond with their life blood.
Only occasionally is it necessary to
pay the person whose blood is trans
iused to save a life.
Whether the person is a relative,
friend or stranger, his blood is care
fully tested before he contributes to
the life of another.
In a few cases those whose veins
were tapped were paid $25 to $50 for
this service. Most of the patients
::
are anemirs.
In some of the large cities of the
country subjects are selected from
such institutions as workingmen's
hotels or charitable shelters. On an
average one out of four are accepted.
Police Take Part in the
