COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Oct 6. Charges that Joseph Tumulty secretary of President Wilson, had evaded the issue, were voiced ' today by J. Frank Hanly, Prohibition presidential nominee and Dr. Ira J.

This Simple Laxatine A Household Necessity

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Should Have a Place in Every Home , Constipation, or Inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly everyone experiences with more or less frequency, is the direct cause of much 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 in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination 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 narcotic drug, does not gripe, and is h.....$3.50-$7.00 Last,
