Must. Look and Listen. “It is the duty of such traveler on a highway, when approaching a rail- rudlft'mning to look and listen for the approach of a train. He must look, when by looking he could see; and listen, when by listening he could hear; and if he fails, without reason ahle excuse, to exercise such precal tions, no recovery can be had for his death by collision with a passing ‘train,” g e case is one in which-the admin- tor of the estate of Carl Rickert tte county against the Union Pa- .'R‘MD his, automobile ickert, who ran his,a ‘the second section of train No. 9 It was alleged by plain- | 'fl t the buildings of the company ed a view of the track.

Then Foster examined the reports and discovered what appeared to be an error, and asked for a recount of the vote.

Says Simple Remedy Dr.Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin | Effective as a Remedy for Constipation Among older people the various or-| gans of the body have a tendency to slow up and weaken, and this is usually first manifest in a pronounced inactivity of the bowels. Good health is dependent on regu- larity in this important function; whenever there is the slightest indi- cation of constipation a mild laxative should be taken to relieve the con- gestion and dispose of the accumu- lated waste. Cathartics or purgatives should not be employed, however; these are too violent in action and their effect is only temporary. A mild laxative such as the com- bination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. It is gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy, natural manner, without griping or other pain or discomfort, is pleasant to the taste, and can be obtained in any drug store. Mr. Robert LeForgee, 918 Kirk- wood Boulevard, Davenport, lowa, says he has always had a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house for the past eighteen years, and that by using it occasionally as the in Nebraska and Iowa, is now visiting her Prolonged His Life his health good, it has prolonged his life and brought ease and comfort. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere, and costs only fifty cents a bottle. To avoid { imitations and ineffective substitutes I be sure to get Dr. Caldwell’'s Syrup Pepsin. See that the facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed.
