Harsh cathartics and violent purga- tives should not be employed, as these afford only temporary relief, while they serve to shock the entjre system. A mild laxative such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable and is now the remedy generally used and prescribed by many doctors. It is free from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts ‘easily and pleasantly, without griping or other pain and is a safe, effective family remedy. S Mr. Chas. Schell, 132 Church St., nada, Miss., writes that he found MR. CHAS. SCHELL Syrup Pepsin and now. keeps it on hand for family use. A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle can be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B.

I believe that our children and chil- dren’s children are going to see as r markable transformation in the world’ history as we have seen. The young men of this country are liable to be called on, we know not how, for the same self-sacrifice that we have. Capt. Alvin M. Crane Speaks. Captain Alvin M. Crane of Malden, Mass., paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of Chaplain Brown who went with the solafers in their battles. He was a man who fought the good fight and gained the victory.

Allen, president advisability of building a new bridge' in piace of Bingham’s b or'! whether the bridge should be repair-! ed, or whether—a portion of the ruad should be closed. The resolution _offered by Town| Consel William A. King as to the first clause was: - That the selectmen are| afimrfi:xfl and empowered and in-; structed to sell the building belong-} Ing to the town located at the corner of Prospect and High streets, known as Ross O'Loughlin property, and that the selectmen are authorized to dis- pose of the building, otherwise than by sale, if in their opinion it is for the| best interes's of the town. Attorney ! P. J. Danfhey offered an amendment ! that no-action be taken in regard to| the clause. > He soid that the matter had been : thoroughly discussed at the previous | meeting and it was voted down at: that time. He says the town recives 4 or 5 per cent. on the investment and he considers that a good investment on the money invested in the property. The town expenses are increasing and the town is in need of money, and he did not think it was wise to sacrifice the investment. H. C. Lathrop said that the school hoard favored the disposing of the preperty. That the space could be used fori high School playgrounds. He considered it a poor investment for the town. Mr. Chesbro said that the reason this matter was brought up was that when the selectmen got together they found that it was going to cost so much they thought best to bring it before the people. He said that he had disinterested parties look the! houses over and they said it would cost $500 at least to put them in san- itary condition. Selectman Gelinas also spoke of the sanitary condition. A vote on amendment was taken and 64 were in favor of amendment and 42 against. Resolution was car- ried as amended. = Long Cut Tobacco is made of good old Kentucky leaf.
