This simple, inex- pensive laxative compound brought rellef and Mrs. Jewell wrote to Dr. Caldwell about her case. In her letter Mrs. Jewell says, “I had tried so many things for the piles, without being helped at all, I had about given up hope of ever being any better, I knew it was the condition of my bowels that caused them, and after I had taken a bottle of your Syrup Pepsin I knew it was just the medi- cine I needed.

Today it looks gloomyv enough. The anti-German agitators have the opportunity they have wished for. They vee themselves nearer to the accomplishment of their effort to drag the United States into the war The.tone of the whole American press, even of that part that by no means holds pro-British opinions, is serious It reveals the fear that it can no longer be pre- vented. But for all that we belleve vet today that when deeds have fol- lowed words, when Germany has shown that the sole object is to give proud England a spoonful of her own medicine by means of & starva- tior blockade, then this tone, as well as the conviction that ‘war is as good as declared,’ will again give away to sober delliberation. “ ‘He kept:out out of war’ On this slogan Woodrow Wilson was elected president for the second time In his heart he may be pro-this or pro-that —he is first of all the man of peace— pro-American.

They show why, apart from the growing difficul- ty of obtaining supplies from over- seas, special attention is devoted to increasing the home production of certatu food staplss, more particular- | nation’'s man-power being reduced on | ly wheat. potatoes and pigs. Clean-Up Sale | The area under wheat In 1916 amounted to 1,012,208 acres, being 257,962 acres or about 12 per cent. less than in the previous year. The arez under potatoes last year was 427,946 acres, 35,461 acres below that of 1915. The total number of pigs raised was 2,187,941, a decline of 252,086, or nearly ten and a half per cent. as compared with the preceding year. On the other hand the total num- ber of cattle returned last year was 6,215,781, the largest number re- corded since returns were collected and showing an increase of 161,627 over the total of 1915. English people are the greatest consumers of mut ton in the world and it is satisfactory to note that the total number last year was 17,951,123, an increase of 428,546 as compared with the preced- ing year. The total number of horses on agricultural! holdings was 1,359,566, an increase of flve and a i half per cent. The total area of jand in England ‘and Wales is 37,137,564 acres. Of this 11,051,101 were returned as ar- able land, 16,022,983 scres as perma- nent grass and 3,816,083 acres as mountain and heath land used for grazing last year. These figures in- dicate an increase of 85,894 acres of arable land and a decrease of 64-‘ 410 in permanent grass, while rough \grazlngs increased by 51,377 acres The area returned as bare fallow ml & —— R GOUNTY GLERK KELLY With No Appetite, All Run-Down Tells How Vinol Helped Him.
