6 THE ADAIK COUNTY NEWS How to be Certain of Curing Constipation Prejudice is a hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then be comes your menace and you ought to lay it aside. This is said in the inter est of people suffering from chronic constipation, and it is worthy of their attention. In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured by a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before, but do not doubt its merits on that account, or because it has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recom mendation. Parents are giving it to their children today who were given it by their parents, and it has been truth fully said that more druggists use it personally in their families than any other laxative.

Three miners, employed at Joplin, Mo., in a zinc shaft, pre pared 55 charges of dynamite in the mine and then signaled for the hoister to draw them to the surface. A small piece of ma chinery slipped from its position and the hoist failed to work. Letters recently received from M. E. Myers, Morrison, Tenn., and Ada Ham mersmith, 118 W. Chestnut St, Louisville, Ky., are but a few of thousands showing the esteem in which Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is held. It is mild, gentle, non-griping not violent, like salts or cathartics. It cures gradually and pleasantly so that in time nature again does its own work without out side aid. Constipated people owe it to themselves to use this grand bowel specific. Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 405 Washington St., Monticello, 111. Your name and address on a postal card will do. Daily Times Before another hoist could be placed in use the . dynamite ex ploded, bringing an avalanche of debris upon the men, who were standing calmly at the pit en trance. Two hundred men worked in relays nine hours in emoving the layer or rock and dirt before their bodies were reached. i NO CASTE AT OXFORD. Duke's Son and Cook's Son Share Alike In Sports and Studies. Actually there Is no university or col lege in America at 'which distinctions of birth or -wealth count for less than they do at Oxford. There -was once a time when there existed a class of "gen tlemen commoners" John Ruskin, I believe, was one of them who enjoyed special privileges and exemptions. But that peculiarity has long since been swept away. Not only are the re quirements for graduation identical for all comers, but the social life within each college of the university is open on equal terms to every one on the roll. "Duke's son" and "cook's son" share alike in sports and studies, and it is personal qualities alone that determine the position an undergraduate holds among his contemporaries. The late P. W. Walker, for many years so successful as high master of Bt Paul's school, was once interviewed by the rather snobbish mother of an intended pupil. "Of course," she said, "you are very particular about the par ents of the boys you admit to your gchool." "Not at all, madam," was his reply. "As long as your son behaves de cently and attends to his work we shall not ask any questions about his par ents." The head of any college at Oxford or Cambridge might have given a similar answer. London Cor. New York Post. SILVER PLATING. An Accident Pointed the Way to the Original Process. In 1742 Thomas Bolsover, a me chanic of Sheffield, England, discovered the art of silver plating. He was re pairing the handle of a knife in which both copper and silver were used. Ac cidentally the two metals were fused together. Based upon this observation, he developed the new process. Upon a thick ingot of copper he bound by iron wire a thinner ingot of silver. The whole was then heated in a reverberatory furnace until the edges of the silver ingot were observed to begin to melt. The two ingots were then removed from the furnace, slowly cooled and pickled, cleaned and rolled to the desired thickness. The result was a plate of, copper more or less thinly covered with silver on one side. This was the first Sheffield plate. For fifty years following the copper was plated on one side only and tup cut edges showed the copper. Later the process was so perfected that no copper was left exposed. All the sil verplate of the world was made by this process until electroplating was discovered and made commercial. Popular Mechanics. Real Use of the Bee's Sting. "The bee's sting Is a trowel, not a rapier," said a nature student "It is an exquisitely delicate little trowel with which the bee finishes off the honey cell, injects a little preservative inside and seals it up. With its trowel-like sting the bee puts the final touches on the dainty and wonderful work. With the sting it pats and shapes the honey cell, as a mason pats and shapes a row of brick. Before, sealing up the cell it drops a wee bit of poison into the honey This is formic acid. Without it honey would spoil. Most of us think the bee's sting, with its poison, is a weapon only. It Is a weapon secondarily, but pri marily it is a magic trowel, a trowel from whose end, as the honey cells are built up. a wonderful preserving fluid drips. Destroying Money. Paper money is nothing but a prom ise to pay so much coin. If you de stroy a five dollar note, for instance, you simply release the government or the bank which issued the note from the payment of the $3 in gold which the note called for. Of course, there fore, you are not punishable in any manner for destroying the note if it is j your own. There is no penalty for mu-1 tllating gold or silver coin If you keep I itrin your own possession, but as you j have thereby destroyed a considerable part of its value you must not try to i pass it at par after the mutilation. Flame and Wire Gauze. To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the credit of discovering that the flame of burning gas will not pass through wire gauze having 7S4 meshes to the square J inch. This contention may be tested I by bringing a flame in contact with ' similar gauze, when it will be found that the flame will not go through the meshes. This is owing to the cooling j action of the wire, which tends to re-1 duce the temperature of the flame be-, low the ignition point, the unburned I gas passing harmlessly through. Of i course if the gauze becomes overheated the flame is able to get through. Almost a Threat.
