You can obtain Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size be ing bought by heads of families al ready familiar with its merits. Re sults are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. When you use Syrup pepsin you will see the fallacy of chewing mints and tablets, or of taking cathartics, salts, pills and similar drastic medicines.

She is survived by her husband and three sons, besides one sister Mrs. Mary Morgan of Palmyra, Mo., who is in the city, called here by the sick ness of her sister. Mrs. Johnson was a thoughtful and friendly neighbor and she will ta sadly missed in a large circle of church Msociates and among her hosts ofsociai friends, with whom she was h'^ld in high esteem.

MEIGS APPROVES PLANS FOR HARBOR Fort Madison will Not Have to Peti tion War Department, Local Man Believes. Through Major Montgomery Meigs of the government river engineering corps, who visited Fort Madison yes terday, authority was given to pro ceceed with the proposed launch har bor for Port Madison without the for mality of petitioning the war depart ment, and ultimately congress, for permission and regulations, says the Democrat. At the invitation of the city council Major Meigs came up from Keokuk, made soundings, com pared maps, and stated that "as'the proposed harbor did not extend tha shore lines of the Fort Madison levee as shown by present government sur veys and as existed previous to the raising of the watsr by the construe tion of the Ctooper dam, permission for its building need not -be sought except from the city itself. The movement for a launch haMttor at Fort Madison had its beginning in the Fort MadSson launoh club which sought a part of the $-10,000 given the city by Hugh Coopsr of the water power company for levee improve ments to construct a breakwater pro tective to the hundreds of launches and other craft owneid by local resi dents. Part of this $10,000 was ex pended in rip-rapping and extending the river parkage in front of the city, and still more for the construction of the municipal boat house now being built. H-owever, expenditures have been along economical linss and there is remaining of the fund suffi cient amount for the cost of the pro posed harbor with a little left over. Major Meigs arrived in his launch from Keokuk at about 11:00 a. m. He was met at th? levee by Mayor A. P. Brown and Councilmen .T. C. B. Myers. H. A. Skyles and N. J. Bever, also C. H.

SELLING MANY LEASES Stream of Oil la Thrown Thlrty-flve Feet When Casing Is Slightly Opened and Big Boom I is Expected. PLYMOUTH, 111.. May 7.—Another ripple of excitement was caused yes terday evening when a rumor became current that the new oil well had broken its bonds of iron casing and cap and had gotten beyond control. This, however, proved to be a mis take, the story originating in all prob ability from the sight of oil running •from the well, which was occasioned by a leak in a piece of casing, the trouble being easily taken care of. Late yesterday afternoon the care taker in charge of the well, in show ing some oil men the pressure of the oil, loosened the cap slightly and a two-inch stream of oil shot from the spouting, horizontally, a distance of perhaps -thirty to thirty-flve feet. This, also, probably in the course of travel, resulted in the story that the well was beyond control and spouting oil high into the air. OH Merv Flocking In. And still the visitors arrive.

Thin men and women—that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all the fat producing nourishment it contained? You haven't gained in sight one ounce. That food passed from your Ibody like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, but your food doesn't work and stick, anS the plain truth is you hardly get enough nourishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is trua of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction. Cut out the foolish foods and funny sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream rub-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you are eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sar gol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solid pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood with millions of fresh new red blooa corpuscles—gives the blood the carry ing power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food? to every part of your body. Sargol, too. mixes with your food and prepares it for the blood in easliy assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from to 25 pounds a month while taking Sargol. and the new flesh stays put Sargol tablets are a scientific combination of six of the best flesh producing elements known to chemis try.
