Women Find Clear Skin
In Simple Laxativ^Kj^^
A sense qf false modesty often prevents women from
admitting that many of her ills and disorders arc due primarily
to cohstipation.
But women who know themselves have learned that head*
ache remedies and beautifiers only cover the trouble but do
not dislodge it.
What is needed is a remedy to move the bowels and stir
up the torpid liver. An ever-increasing number of sensible
women take a small dose of a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and
sold by druggists under that name.
It will save a woman from the habitual use of headache
remedies, skin lotions and similar makeshifts. Once the
bowels are emptied and regulated, the headache and the
pimples and blotches disappear. It is the rational, natural
method.
A bottle of Syrup Pepsin lasts a family a long time, and
all will find use for it from time to time. Thoughtful people
are never without it in the house. > -
The druggist will refund your money if it fails
to do as promised.

Quicklime Recommended to
Keep Potatoes From Rotting
When Stored in Damp Places
The French department of agricul
ture lately issued the following indl- !
cations as to the best method of pre- j
serving potatoes against rotting, such
as is likely to occur In damp places.
By employing the proper method, it
Is possible to diminish the dampness
within the piles where the air does not
enter or only circulates very slowly.
To avoid this, a substance which ab
sorbs water and having io action up
on the potato must be employed, and
for this purpose it is found that lime
is the best substance, as it costs least,
Is easy to bundle, and is best known.
In practice the method can be ap
plied In the Yellowing way. It is to lie
remarked that when potatoes are
stored up after being well cleaned be
forehand, they commence to exude
moisture, and must he gone over again.
The storage place is sprinkled with
quicklime, and each layer of three or
four inches of well dried potatoes Is
sprinkled over with lime; the same
on the outside of the Tile. When sort
ing as above stated, the imperfect
ones need not be thrown away, but the
bad parts cut out and the rest fed to
stock after cooking or passing through
a dryer or baking in a furnace; or they
can be sent to a starch factory if one
is near by. As to the amount of lime
to- be used, the proper quantity is
about ton pounds of lime to 1,000
pounds of potatoes.
Big Jobs Are Filled by the
Men Who Produce the Results
Some men are cursed with the abili
ty to do chores. They can do all the
little tinkering jobs well and can’t get
busy with the big ones until all the
petty tasks receive attention. To be
sure the groat man is master of details.
He will know every step in his busi
ness. But he will delegate to others
what belongs to their work. No man
can be the brains for the whole busi
ness. Neither can he be the handy
man for the concern and direct its
policy at the same time. If he is the
business is small. Where you find a
man who delights more in winding the
clock that he does in keeping his desk
clear you can mark him factotum and
recommend him to any one of a thou
sand big firms that need a handy man.
But that's as far us he will get. The
big places are filled by men who get
down to business.
Employing Disabled
Soldiers
Englishmen Are Taking Their
Duly Seriously
Advertisements printed in the Lon
don papers by British business con
cerns frequently carry this line:
“We have put a disabled soldier on
our pay roll. Have you?”
The extent to which tho line is used
indicates that Englishmen are taking
their duty to employ injured British
soldiers very seriously. They are not
talking vaguely about tho nation’s
dobt to the army. They are paying a
debt to tho mon.
Every concern employing nny con
siderable number of men has places
that can be filled by partially disabled
men, and whenever such a place is
filled the disabled soldier should have! r
the first chance.

Should Learn to Know Trees
When Without Their Leaves
No tree lover should he content to
know the trees only in summer. The
summer trees may be more beautiful
thns the bare trees of winter, but it is
the leafless tree that most clearly be
trays the specific arboreal characteris
tic. Leaves are distinctive, but the
distinction is somewhat superficial, for
the leaves are no more than the sum
mer dress. When the leaves are gone
the tree stands <nore truly disclosed.
Yet comparatively few of those who
familinriy know the trees of summer
can readily recognize all their friends
in the honest nudity of winter.
Straw Hats Will Cost More
Men's hats, both straw and felt, will
not undergo nny changes in style this
year, either spring, summer or fall, ac
cording to predictions made at the sev
enth general convention of the Amer
ican Association of Wholesale Hatters,
recently held at St. Louis. Prices of
straw hats are expected to be ad
vanced, it is said, while felt hats will
remain about as at present.
Lake of Sait in Australia
Supplies an Immense Crop
—Carts and Plows Are Used
In South Australia there Is a won
derful lake of pure salt. It is a huge
depression in the earth which fills up
in the winter months. In the summer
the water quickly evaporates, leaving
a thick deposit of pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the '
lake has all ihe appearance of being!
covered with a shoot of ice. The salt
is so thick that strong men and even
carts and plows can traverse it with ’
perfect safety. Yet below the crust •
there is a considerable body of slug- j
gish water. After the rays of the sum
mer sun have played their part, the
salt is gathered. This Is a simple
operation, the salt being raked into
heaps, making pyramids that are a
striking feature of the landscape. The
salt is then shoveled Into carts and
conveyed to various works to undergo
the process of refining.
Gathering the salt is trying work on
account of the great heat and the daz
zling reflection, and It is often neces
sary for the workers to wear colored
glasses to protect their eyes. After
the loose salt has been collected from
the surface a plow Is run over It,
when another harvest of the valuable
material can be reaped. The yield
of salt from this strange lake amounts
to several thousand' tons a year, and
it is among the finest obtainable. The
lake is several square miles In area
and is naturally a very valuable
property.
