Carter's home on West Main street, concerning the conditien of the popular repre- sentative, were most unfavorable this morning and hopes for his recovery entertained by his many friends were somewhat upset, Mr. Carter showed such an improvement the latter part of last week that it was thought his chances for recovery were bright. While he won his fight against pneumonia, complications set in dur- ing the past few days and on account of his weakened condition it is feared that he may succumb. Mr. Carter's temperature has been lowering stead- ily but although the danger from pneumonia is practically passed, gall stones and heart disease, which have developed since his illness, have made his condition more serious than ever.

Their delicate or- ganisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and. purgative remedies, Which, while they may afford tem- porary relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the function- al organs. A mild laxative is far preferable and, if properly com- pounded, much more effective. The combination of simple lax- ative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup. Pepsin, is ideal for women's use, A free trial bot- tle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W, B.

One of Milwaukee's moet important concerns is of the opinion that It would be a great blessing if a radical stand could be taken whereby all pre- miums, gifts, etc, be abolished.
