neighbors not to be dtsagrreable,

Ask him if he ran be equally sue

those are worthy of imitation. 1'utut

Hut things don't just "turn up" of

A Silly Song
By A CUCKOO BHD
A woman Is lite dannlest thing
that ever was invented and still,
without one of their own, few men
will be contented. A feller gors and
gels a girl and feeds and entertains
her and birr a cab to take her home
berau.e a street car pains her. He
goes in debt for what be wears and
lives on beans and liver and spends
his shekels and bis yen for fancy
things to give her. And when he's
spent his weekly wage on eats and
syncopation and laxicab to haul her
from, and to, her dad's plantation,
the sweet young thing gets on her
ear and says he's mean and hateful,
if. having paid the evening's bills,

Uolike these. Dr. Caldwell'a
Syrup Pepsin Is admirable for
children, as it is for grown
people, too. Mothers have
been givioff it to children for
30 years. They know it doca
not gripe, and is free from
narcotics. The formula Is on
every package, and you can
see it is vegetable, just a com

other laxative herbs with pep

will find it la not necessary to take
it every day, nor to increase the
dose, and that it ia pleasant to the

hesitanry giving it to a baby in
