~ ; ... „ How Old People May Retain or Restore Qood Health Usually the bowels are not so active In middle or advanced years as in youth. Just as the eyes grow dim, the skin wrinkled, the hair gray, the muscles flabby, so do the Internal organs show their age if we could but see them. However we sometimes find a person whose age Is near the meted three-score and ten and yet bis step Is sprightly, his eye keen, his flesh firm, his appetite good and his bowels regular, and upon close questioning you will find a life’s history of right-living, good food, keen appetite, perfect digestion and regular bowel action. Regular bowels and proper digestion of the food we eat is absolutely necessary to the enjoyment of good health by old or young. If the readers of this article are interested, we are glad to tell them how they can restore good health and prolong their lives. Step into a drug store and purchase a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It will cleanse the bowels of any waste matter that has clogged them up and restore to them strength and nerve force for regular natural dally action. It aids digestion by stimulating the stomach and digestive glands to a proper and sufficient secretion of the fluids necessary to perfect digestion. It acts on the liver and kidneys in a mild, quiet yet effective manner. Rev. A. J. Fletcher, of Rutherford, Tenn., is 80 years old, and it cured, him of 60 years of dyspepsia. W. W. Ster4 ling, Sioux City, la., says: “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is the best medicine I ever used and lam 88 years old." B, F. Thompson, Shenandoah, la., says: *T suffered 16 years with dyspepsia arfd It cured me.” It is certain and effective in the most obstinate old cases, and yet mild and safe for the most delicate woman or child. All druggists, sell it at 60c and 11.00 per bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 304 Caldwell Bldg., Montlcello, 111., is glad to send a free sample to any one who has never used it and will give it a fair trial. SOLD BT A. F. LONG.

Notre Dame Freshmen Defeat College Team.

In weather that would have been extremely raw for a foot ball contest the St. Joseph’s college ball team was defeated by the Notre Dame Freshmen In a rather loosely played game of base ball Saturday afternoon. Apparently the varsity was not in form. To have each inning punctuated with a new and wilder snow flurry was more than they could overcome. Hasser pitched well enough, the Freshmen getting only two hits and ten going to the bench by the strikeout route. It was the seven errors by his teammates that lost the game for the local team. Sommars’ pitching Was not at all of jthe phenomenal variety, but the team back of him played ball all the time. The Freshmen showed great skill and knowledge in base running, taking advantage with good effect of the least opening given them by the varsity. The game opened in approved style, three up, three down for three innings. The fourth proved fatal for the Varsity; two hits and a number of errors gave the Freshmen four runs, and the game. Hasser could do no more than score the captain. The game then went along as nicely as the snow storm would permit to the eighth when the Freshmen added three more runs to their list without the semblance of a hit. The Varsity scored again in the fifth and seventh, but the Freshmen refusing to take a Wright trip their safe lead could not be overcome. The score: Notre Dame ....0 0040013 o—B College 0 0010101 o—3 Earned runs, college 2; two base hit, Nageleisen; three base hit, Hasser; base on balls, off Hasser 5, off Sommars 1; struck-out by Hasser 10, by Sommars 8; hit by pitcher, Hasser 2; time 1:50; unmpire, Fr.

Why, this is an everyday occurrence with Studebakers for the last fifty years and still at it The world’s best mower and binder, the McCormick, also the McCormick hay rake; they have double coil teeth which makes them more than as good again as the single coil.

BUBBLES WHICH ARE NESTS

A i|ht; You May See in a Tjjwlk at w Aquarium—'Tiny Eggs Hatched in Air Bubbles in (he Waters—Busy Times for the Domestic Minded Fathers. "Just watch these clever little fellows,’’ said the acquarium man, peering down into one of his glass tanks.’ The visitor peered too and saw 8 bout a dozen little fish not much bigger than minnows, but banded across their sides with dull red and green stripes. "What are they?” he asked indifferently. They didn’t look exciting. "They’re Japanese paradise fish, and they’re mighty clever little beggars. They’re among the yery Tew kinds of fish that build nes •.s." Tie visitor began to be interested and peered more closely into the tank. On the surface he saw something ’which roused his curiosity. The acquarium man pointed to this object and went on. ‘ Ain’t that as cosey a nest as you can imagine being made in water? See that fellow nosing around in the 00 11 cm of the tank? He made that nest. He’s going to be a paterfamilias pretty soon, and he did a good job in anticipation of it. his missus down there near him. This is their busy day. I don’t know just how she conveys the information to him that there’s going to be call for a nest pretty scon, but she manages to give him the lip somehow, and then he gets to work. “First he comes to the surface, sticks his nose out of water, opens his mouth and gets it full of air. Then he shuts it tight, goes down to the bottom of the tank, opens his mouth, and up comes a nice liti'e bubble of air. “It rises gently to the surface and rests there without breaking. Maybe he'mixes something with it in his mouth so that it won’t break easily. I don’t know. “As soon as he sees that bubb’e fairly placed he comes to the surface again, gets another mouthful of air and goes down to send up a second bubble close to the first. They’re mighty good shots too. They dou’t scatter their bubbles all over the place, but bunch them right together.

“He keeps on up for air and down with a bubble of it in his mouth, until he has made that little nest there, with its nooks and crevices underneath, as dainty.and pretty a place to hatch a family in as was ever built. Then apparently he tells the missus that everything is O. K. Or perhaps she sees that for herself. “Anyhow, pretty soon she goes down to the bottom of the tank, and lays a batch of eggs, perhaps eight or ten of them, little bits of black things not' nearly as big as the head of a small pin. They kind of float around in the water and the missus and the pater take them, one at a time in their mouths and fetch them up to the nest and put them up in one of the little crannies among the bubbles. They go back for another and another, and so on until they get every single egg that was laid. “Then the missus lays another batch, and again they pick up the eggs and bring them to the nest. W’hen the missus has finished laying the pater seems to think he’s perfectly competent to finish the job. He drives her off and won’t let her come near the nest. “He watches it himself until the little fish hatch, when they can take care of themselves. If the water is warm and the fish are in good condition they’ll go through this nest building business about every month, and I never get tired of watching them.’’—New York Sun.

Making Matrimony Pleasant.

At a wedding in Greater New York the other day the guests engaged in the usual pleasantry of throwing rice at the newly married couple upon their departure. The bride and bridegroom received this invocation to the goddess of good fortune in the proper spirit of appreciation, but unfortunately some of the rice kernels lodged In the bridegroom’s ear, immediately causing intense pain, which increased until it became necessary for the bridal journey to be postponed while the sufferer was given medical attention. An operation was performed and te Intruding rice was removed from the man's ear, and then the tour was started. The bridegroom in this case was fortunate. He might have been hit in the head with an old shoe. He might have been star performer in a runaway accident as the horses of the bridal chariot became frightened at the joyous cheers. of the assembled

multitude or at the floating ribbons fastened to their harness by the merrymakers. Weddings nowadays are no light and tame affaire. They have reverted to the ancient type of barbaric force and valor, wheh the bridegroom won his bride by the exercise of the big stick. As long as the custom of speeding a bridal couple with ribald cheers and flying mlßSles continues accidents will happen, and bridegrooms will be Injured and possibly slain in the melee. The other day a bride was dragged a square by horses that had been frightened by a shoe flung at her by an unskillful hand as Bbe was about to enter the carriage. This was a triumph of tbs joke matrimonial. And yet, despite such handicaps, the marriage institution Is maintained and the license clerks are kept working over time—Washington Star.
