An Ugly Witapen.
When boxers and fighters came to
gether In the old days of Greece they
wore upon their hands the cestus,
which was In Itself a terrible adjunct
to any fighter. But there was some
times attached to the cestus a deadlier
weapon, consisting of a three pronged
fork of bronze, known as the myrmex
Classical literature has frequent ref
erences to the myrmex, which is de
scribed as the deadliest weapon of the
ancient pugilist. The right band wns
swathed in tough hide, bound in place
with thongs and supplemented by
small knobs of lead or iron. This was
the cestus, to which was affixed the
myrmex. Combats in those days were
much more brutal and dangerous than
those of the modern prize ring It is
easily seen that a single blow of the
myrmex might cause death or perma
nent injury.

George's Episcopal church, where he
had worshiped for half a century. A
special train afterward conveyed the
funeral party to Hartford, Conn., for
final services at the Morgan Mauso
leum in Cedar Hill cemetery. The
coffin was blanketed in 500 red roses
as it left the library of the Morgan
home. Among the floral tributes
were orchids and prim leaves from the
German Emperor and a gold mal
tese cross beneath palms from the
French Republic.
Heed the Cough that Hangs On.
The seeds of consumption may be
the cause, and a cough that hangs on
weakens the system. Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound checks the cough,
"heals the " inflamed -membranes and
strengthens the lungs. E. D. Roun
tree, Stillmore, Ga., says: "Lagrippe
left me a deep seated, hacking, pain
ful cough which Foley's Honey and
Tar completely cured." For sale by

No Longer Cranky
About His Meals
Has Perfect Digestion From Use' of
A Well Known Remedy that All Can
Obtain.
The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table, depend
so much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the experien
ces of some former dyspeptics who
overcame their trouble should be of
'erest to those now suffering in this
way.
The best advice on can give but it
is advice that is seldom heehed is to
eat slowly and masticate each mouth
ful carefully. However, if slow eatine
and careful mastication fail the next
aid is one close to nature, Dr. Cald
well's byrup epsin. This remedy is
an excellent digestant, and in addition
to helping i nthe digestion of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bowels,
ridding them of the accumulation of
waste that should long have passed
off. It is safe, reliable. Dleasant tast
ing, and results are guaranteed.
in the opinion of such Deonle as Mr.
L. J. Quinn, 117 Newport Ave., Chi
cago, it is the Ideal remedy for indi
gestion, no matter how severe, consti
pation no matter how chronic, bilious
ness, headaches, gas on stomach, drow
siness after eating and similar annoyances.
Mr. Quinn says: "We use Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup epsin as a family
remedy and every member of the fam
ily from the five-year-old, who is the
youngest of six children, to Mr. Ouinn
and myself, use it for stomach trou
ble, sick headache and to regulate the
bowels . "
You can obtain Dr. Caldwell's Svr
up Pepsin at any drug store for fifty

cents or one dollar, the latter size
being bought by heads of families al
ready familiar with its merits. Results
mre 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.
Unlike these, Syrup pepsin does not
lose its good effect, and by automati
cally training the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work, soon re
stores these organs to normal.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would
like to make a personal trial of it
before buying i$ in the regular way
of a druggist, send your address a
postal will do to Dr. W. B. aid well,
417 Washington street, Monticello, 111.,
and a free sample bottle will be mailed

A well known agnostic was present
at one of Henry Ward Beecber's lec
tures, and after the address the man
presented one of his daughters a beau
tiful girl to Mr. Beecher, saying, "Mr.
Beecher, here is a girl who. according
to your ideas, is a heathen."
'Well, my dear," said Mr. Beecher.
If all heathens were as pretty as yon
are we would nil become missionaries."

Pains in the Stomach.
If you continually complain of pains
in the stomach, your liver or your
kidneys are out of order. Neglect may
lead to dropsy, kidney trouble, dia
betes or Bright's disease. Thousands
recommend Electric Bitters as the
best stomach and kidney medicine
made. H. T. Alston, of Raleigh, N. C.
who suffered with pain in the stomach
and back, writes: "My kidneys were
deranged and my liver did not work
right. I suffered much, but Electric
Bitters was recommended and I im
proved from the first dose. I now feel
likke a new man." It will improve
you, too. Only 50c and 1.00. Recom
