Burlington Directed
to Grant Transfers to
Encampment Special
Lincoln, Aug. 22. Members of
the u. A. R. and auxiliary organiza
tions living on the lines of the Bur
lington railroad will be permitted to
purchase tickets , at their home
towns over that road, and if they de
sire to go on the Sons of Veterans'
official train over the Northwestern
can have tickets made out allowing
them to transfer to the Northwest
ern at Omaha.
After a somewhat animated con
troversy between those chartering
the train and the Burlington offi
cials, who had held that those pur
chasing tickets at Burlington points
had to travel over that road to Chi
cago and return the same way and
could not transfer to the Northwest-
' ern either at Lincoln or Omaha, the
matter was taken up with the pas
senger board at Chicago and the na
tional railway administration and
Friday Mr. Powell, rate clerk for
the commission, was informed that
the railway administration had is
sued a supplementary order author
izing the Burlington to sell tickets
at its stations to passengers to the
national encampment over that road,
with transfer to the: Northwestern
and the special train if desired at
Cmaha, with the privilege of re
turning via St. Louis and Kansas
vCity. However, in towns not men
tioned in instructions, the rate will
be charged for the town nearest to
that station west.

Vacation as Sheepherder
on South Dakota Ranch

cial.) IVof. Milford Scott Hallman,
principal of the Aberdeen high
school, has been spending his vaca
tion as a common sheep herder on
a large ranch near Edgeniont. By

by an attack of typhoid and influ
enza last winter. The effects of his
sickness incapacitated him for his

to the Black Hills for recuperation.

as sheepherder, and throughout the
summer himself and Mrs. Hallman
slept in a tent on the open range
and ate their meals from the rear end
of a regulation sheep wagon. The
remedy, though strenuous at first
Droved a comolete success and Prof
'Hallman's health now has been ful
ly restored.

Constipation Results When Hoi
Weather Stops Exercise
WHEN the system has become accustomed to a certain daily
routine of exercise and food, health is quick to suffer if that rout
ine is interfered with. The bowels are first to notice the change.
Different water is enough to consli- combination of simple laxative herbs
pate. Changes of food when traveling,
much titling by those accustomed to long
walks will do it. It is especially true that
when elderly people change their routine
they quickly become constipated. Yet
elderly people should be particularly
careful to keep their bowels open, especi
ally during the hot rrths.
A better remedy for the purpose can
not be found on a druggist's shelf than
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a
with pepsin which trains the stomach
muscles to do their work naturally so
that medicines can be dispensed with.
Only a small dose is needed, and unlike
harsh Dnvsics And rthsrtir. it rt
gently and without griping.
A bottle of Syrup Pepsin can be
bought at any drug store for 50c and $1,
the latter the family size, or a free trial
bottle will be sent on receipt of your
address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 480
