S. Watkins, Gcrmantown, Ohio,
school teacher, as its standard bear
er and D. Leipih Colvin, New York
author, as his running mate. The
nominations tame after William Jen
nings Bryan, nominated Wednesday,
had sent word that he could not ac
cept because he wished to remain a
democrat although he had not de
cided how he would vote this fall."
In addition to planning for the
campaign the national committee ex
pects to issue a statement soon, mak
ing known its feeling toward Sena

study it.

hibition party candidates for the
presidency, today issued statements
presidency and vice presidency to
day issued statements condemning
the stand on prohibition taken by
Senator Harding in his speech of ac
ceptance yesterdav.

ator Harding mentions and even em
phasizes the fact that many dissent
from the law and he will, if possible.
I think, secure its repeal."
It is all right for Senator Hard
ing to speak of law enforcement,"
said Mr. Colvin's statement. "Any
one voufc do that. But his broad
statement about repeal makes his
stand absolutely unacceptable."

Keeping Healthy
in Broiling Sun
Whenhead f eels heavy or tomach
it acidy, get quick relief with
Dr. Caldwell' Syrup Pepsin
IN spite of the lighter foods we
eat during summer months, it
is the season of greatest dyspep
sia and constipation. Many find
it difficult to stand the heat.
They exercise little and are
, always tired and half-sick.
It is good policy to take plenty
of ripe fruit and vegetables, lots
of cool, clear water and walks
when the sun has set. But with
all these precautions it is often
impossible to regulate the daily
elimination, with the result that
thousands suffer from constipa
tion, indigestion and similar ills.
There is nothing better for clogried-up
bowels, for a stomach that refuses to
work, than that well-known combina
tion of simple laxative herbs with pepsin
known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. It is America's standard
relief for conatipation. It has the great
merit of being sure to act, yet acting
mildly and without griping.
Thousands of mothers give Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin to infants, and it
is especially popular in hot weather.
Mrs. E. C. Wilson, who lives in Hugo,
Okla., where the heat in summer is
intense, is the mother of eight children.
All of them, and including herself,
maintain their health in spite of ener
vating heat by frequent use of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See what it
will do for you.
