Free Sample
For Baby’s Ills
Something can and must be done
for the puny, crying baby, for tiie
child that refuses to cat and is rest
less in its sleep. And since the basis
of all health is the proper working
of the digestive organs, look first to
the condition of the stomach and
bowels.
A child should have two full and free
movements of the bowels a day. This
emptying of the bowels Is very important,
as with it comes a clear head, a light
ness of step, good appetite and sound
sleep. But it is equally important to
know what to give the child In the
emergency of constipation and indiges
tion. Cathartics arc- too strong and salts
and other purgatives are not only too
strong, but the child refuses them be
cause of their bad taste. Have vou ever
tried Dr. Caldwell’s Syiup Pepsin? It is
a liquid tonic that families have been
using for a quarter of a century. It is
mild, pleasant-tastlng and promptly ef
fective. It is good for vou as well as
the child, but there Is nothing better to
be found for children. Thev like Its taste
—you will not have to force them to
take it.
First of all. if you have not yet used
It, Dr. Caldwell would like to send you
a sample bottle free of charge. In this
way you can try It before buvlng. Later,
when convinced of its merits, vou can
get It of your druggist at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle. Just as thousands of
other families are doing. The family of
Mr. D. W. Spangler of Strattonvllle. Pa.,
as well as that of Mr. A. F. Johnson of
Walnut Grove, Tenn., started with It In
that way and now write that It Is their
one family necessity next to food Itself.
If you are unfortunate enough to have a
sicklv child, one given to constipation
and Indigestion. yOu should send for a
free sample of tills remedv.
Dr_/^ ‘rfj'fisdj personally will be pleased
- "'■'*■* \Vtfive you an7 medical advice you may
desire for voursl^ or family pertaining to
the stomach, llvtT or bowels absolutely
free of charge, f-xplatn your case In a
letter and he will T^ply to you In detail.
For the free samp!e simply send your
name and address 6n a Postal card or
Otherwise For either the doctor a
address Is Dr. W. B. (’alOwell, R.500 Cald
well building, MonticeiPy 111.
PRIZE FOR BEST ROAD WORK
(continued from page 1)
be your chief aim. Discuss it in
your meetings and work your
heads as well as your muscles.
Seventh. To the crew which
does the best, the most practical
and neatest work, 1 will give a re
ward for merit of $10; the second
best, I will give $5 to the third
best I will give Itf, and to the
fourth best I will give $2 per
crew. The names of the winners,
their overseers and their peices of
work, etc., will be fully described
in our county papers and the re
ward will be paid to the special
overseer of each crew to be by
him distributed among his crew in
’a manner to be decided upon by
I the winning crew. I will designate
as a commission, or judges, the
following gentlemen: S. A, Moore,
Nr. Adler, Burk Wright, Geo. M.
Fields and E. II. Williamson, to
serve in distributing the above re
wards of merit. I will ask that
they meet in the city of Batesville
a day or two before the road work
ing and go over the route
carefully, noticing all conditions,
and on the day following the work
ing, I will ask that they again go
over the said route and determine
what crews did the most, the best
and the neatest and most practical
work, and then make their report
or findings to me immediately
thereafter. For further and more
definite rules, 1 will ask lion. S.
A. Moore to call said commission
together and discuss the various
matters which they deem necess
ary and I will promulgate what
ever rules they desire.
Eighth. Let each special over
seer place suitable markings at the
beginning and ending of his work
so as to give the commission a
chance to fairly judge his work.
Let the overseer divide the work
between the special overseers as
equitably, so far as distance and
volume of work to be done, as pos
sible, and let each special overseer
work in his own territory and no
other.
Ninth. Any rulings made by
the commission or by the couuty
judge will be furnished to each
special overseer in writing or
printed before the work begins on
the morning of the ^bih.
Tenth. We hope each ere v can
furnish their own tools and that
the county will not be required to
purchase new tools for this work.
This matter will be considered in
connection with the rewarding of
the crews for their work by the
commissioners.
Eleventh. This is a non-parti
san, non-political good road work
ing rally. Those clamoring for good
r< ads and talking about the knock
ers, etc , who will not do anything
j for their country, now have an op
| port-unity to show their colors
l Wo will now see who are knockers
and who is for betterment of the
roads.
Again appealing to every one
who is progressive and interested
in the county’s welfare, 1 thank
you in advance for what 1 know
; you will do.
Yours for good roads,
Cul L. l'carce, County .Judge.
