Caldwell's Syrup l'epsin Highly iUs-nmiueiuled ns n Family Hemedy. In children the slightest irreguyrity of the bowels has a tendency o disturb the entire digestive sysem, and unless promptly remedied nvites serious illness. The expeienced mother knows thsit i>v iroi?_ rig her children to regularity in this espeet, and when occasion arises adnlnistering a tnild laxative, she will ave little need for the doctor's serices. Mrs. Leo Weigand. 3 251 Central ive., N. S., Pittsburg, Pa., whose two oys, Frank and Joseph, are shown n the illustration, writes that she as found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepin a most effective laxative, not only or the children but also for herself, nd that she will always keep it in he house to use when needed. Dr. laldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a conization of simple laxative herbs with lepsin that acts easily and naturlly, without griping or other pain r discomfort. It is pleasant to the aste so that children like it, and is qually effective on the strongest onstitution. EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN. The Hon. M. L. llrittain, state suerintendent of education for (leoria, declares: "The state, county, or community, s a rule, has as good educational raining as it at heart desires. This eing true, the following extract 10111 the program of the Southern onference for education at New Or jans is worth consideration: "Hon. . Y. Jovner, of North Carolina, snbect. 'What is the Meaning of This0 lorth Dakota spends $9.62 per capi? for the support of common (hools; Minnesota, $6.23; Oregon. 7.60; Nebraska, $8.10; Kentucky, 2.87; Tennessee, $2.60; (leorgir 1.98: Alabama. $1.97.' " All good things cost. People who ant it good school must be willing o pity the price ?the better tin chool and the longer the term th reater the cost. The plea of Henry i.

To educate your children -every child of th?'ni?at common riniary free schools at state charge. I That is my legacy of advice to you eforc I leave my country's shores to ft urn. perhaps, no more forever. Distrust all attempts to disturb tbo peration of a tax bill already passtl. Disbelieve any set of men who nme before you with false promises f freedom from taxation. Listen onr to those sincere friends who will onestly tell you that you must bej ixed, how much you ought to be] ixcd, and who will counsel freely nd fully with you beforehand as to tie mode and subject of taxation. In word, learn to love taxation as the nly means of accomplishing such obects as those of paying the public ebt and of educating your children, ich and poor. See to it well that no evenue raised for legitimate purioses is wasted; see that it is all aithfully applied to the true ends of :overnment. but be sure to raise nouph and ample enough for every :ind of state necessity, usefulness, ml honor. There is no easy mode if taxation, no royal road to paying lebts or to education. Industry, honsty. economy, and education alone an make you a free and happy peole.

Quick r-Cold Relief-i is usually found through the prompt administration of a mildly laxative, dispersive tonic?one that will scatter the inflammation, remove the waste, and help Nature to build up resistance. Peruna is That Tonic. Its action is prompt, usually very effective, and i ts use is without harmful effects. Every household shouid keep it ut hand for this purpose, and every catarrhal sufferer should regularly use this reliable remedy. I i ne tablet form will be found very convenient. A tablet or two at the very beginning of a cold will frequently prevent its development, and these tablets may be taken regularly with beneficial results.
