This Simple Lax

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Should
Have a Place in Every
Home.
Constipation, or inaction of the bow

of simple laxative herbs with pepsin
that is sold in drug stores under
the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon. John D. Keister of Brandywine,
W. Va., who has represented
his district in the State Legislature
for six years, writes that he uses Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it
a splendid laxative, easy to take and
mild, yet positive, in its action, and
that it should be in every household
for use when needed.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists in all parts of the United
States and costs only fifty cents a
bottle. It contains no opiate or narcm

STORY OF A FAMOUS CRAVAT.
Aft?r His Historic Qusrrsl With Wslsa
ths Bssu Won s Sartorial Triumph
That Almost Choksd His Royal Master
With Envy and Dismay.
It was Beau Brummel who was described
as "the glass of fashion and
the mold of form," and today there are
ordinarily only two things which the
name of the famous dandy of the English
court suggests. One is an arbiter
of fashion, the other the incident in
which Brummel asked of a companion
of the Prince of Wales, "Who is your
fat friend?"
In 1836 Beau Brummel still was living,
and the New York Mirror, a weekly
publication "devoted to literature
and the fine arts." Drlnted a bloernnh
leal sketch of him as a figure In contemporary
history. Reading It today
makes very real a character now little
more than a tradition.
"For an obscure Individual without
fortune or rank to have conceived the
idea of placing himself at the head of
society in a country the most thoroughly
aristocratic In Europe, relying,
too, upon no other weapon than well
directed Insolence; for the same Individual
to have triumphed splendidly
over the highest and the mightiest?to
have maintained a contest with royalty
Itself and to have come off victorious
even in that struggle? for such a one
no ordinary faculties must have been
demanded," the Mirror said In its issue
of June 4, 1830.
It will be well to recall here that
George Bryan, Brummel's father, was
Lord North's secretary; that the son
at Eton and later at Ballol college acquired
a reputation for being a "swell
dresser," and that still later he was a
favorite of the Prince of Wales, who
whh iu uBcorae licorge XV. of Great
Britain. The Mirror related the famllinr
story of the "fat friend," Immortalized
in a Punch cartoon, explaining
the circumstances which led up to it.
A mutual friend had dared Brummel
to give an order to Wales, who was
then prince regent, and at a dinner the
dandy said to him, "Wales, ring the
bell!" The prince did so and when a
servant appeared said, "Show Mr.
Brummel to his carriage." It was to
repay the regent for this public humiliation
that Beau Brummel uttered his
famous question the next day in the
street. The prince was growing corpulent
and sensitive of the fact, so a
feud between the two was launched
with the remark.
It is an old story up to this point, but
the Mirror proceeded with some facts
which probably have never been published
since. Brummel boasted that
he would put the prince regent out of
fashion, made his plans at once and
sprang his coup at a brilliant hnll
given by the Duchess of Devonshire.
In the Mirror's own words:
"When tllo wholA nssomhlv wopo nnn
versing upon his supposed disgrace,
Ilrummel suddenly stood in the midst
of them. Could it be indeed Brummel?
Could it be mortal who thua appeared
with such an enclncture of radiant
glory about his neck? Every eye
was upon him, fixed in stupid admiration;
every tongue, as it slowly recovered
from its speechless paralysis, faltered
forth, 'What a cravat!'"
And then the description of the cravat
which confounded the guests at
the Duchess of Devonshire's ball:
"There it stood, smooth and stiff, yet
light and almost transparent; delicate
as the music of Ariel, yet firm as the
spirit of Regulus; bending with the
grace of Apollo's locks, yet erect with
the majesty of the Olympian Jove;
without a wrinkle, without an indentation.
What a cravat! The prince regent
saw and shook, and, ottering a
faint gurgle from beneath the wadded
els, a condition that nearly everyone
experiences with more or less frequency,
is the direct cause of mu:!i
disease. When the bowels become
clogged with refuse from the stomach,
foul gases and poisons are generated,
and unless the congestion is
quickly relieved the system becomes
weakened and most susceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve constipation
are prescribed, but many of
these contain cathartic or purgative
agents that are harsh and violent ib
their action and shock the system. The

SACKING A THEATER.

a theater In New York from the
zette of that city of May 3, 1705:
"The play advertised to be acted

Origin of tho Pitcher.
Some of tho earliest drinking vesi
were made of skins, sewed toget
in such a manner as to bo water tij
The skins were well tanned, and
vessels made from them were i
nigh Indestructible. leather drink
vessels in England were called "bit
Jacks" and were made In about
same shape as the pitcher of mod
times. The Inside was coated wit
layer of pitch, thus giving rise to
word "pitcher," It Is believed.
