Woman's Health Requires Care Wemen ?re ao constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to con 8tlpaton, and ther general health depends in large measure on care ful regulaton and correction of thia tendency. Their delicate or ganisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and purgative remedies, which, while they may afford tem porary relief, shock'the system and serously disturb the functional organs. A mild laxative ls far pre ferable and, if properly com pounded, much more effective. The combination of simple laxa, live herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, ls ideal for women's use.

Business Way From Having Modern Theatre Shown Very Convincingly Already A concrete Instance ot tho manner | In which an up-to-date theatre ls so- | lug to prove a great benefit to An derson in a commercial way alone was furnished in the attraction nt "The Anderson" last Tuesday even ing. The large audience that filled the theatre to its capacity WOB not com posed of Anderson people alone. In fact, there were people from two States and a dozen or more towns in the audience. It ls conservative ly estimated that ?here were 40 peo ple from Hartwell, (la., in atten dance on the show, some 10 cars com ing over in the afternoon preceding the performance Tuesday night. Practically all of theso visitors took supper al local hotels and restau rants. And while several of them re turned to Hartwell arter thc show, quite a number remained Ii?"*,? over night, putting up at tocal hotels. Yesterday those who spent the night in Anderson did considerable shop ping about tho city before they departed for the! rhomea. It will be seen from this that tho hotels, cafes and some of the merchant;; of the city profited by the visit of theBe Georgians to the city. And had there not been a particularly .attractive theatre here these Georgians would not have been In Anderson, in all probability, oh that occasion. In addition to the Georgians, there were a large nunmber of people pres ent from other townB. particularly, Helton. Monea Path, Williamston, Iva. Starr. Pendleton,' Seneca.
