OLD DOCTOR'S IDEA j'i
IS BIG HELP TO ji
ELDERLY PEOPLE >'
In 1885, Dr. Caldwell made a dis
covery for which elderly people the
world over praise him today!
Years of practice convinced him
that many people were endangering
their health by a careless choice of
laxatives. So he a search for
a harmless prescription which would
be thoroughly effective, yet would
neither gripe nor form any habit. At
last he found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
he found people bilious, headachy, out .
of sorts, weak or feverish; with
coated tongue, bad breath, no appetite
or energy. It relieved the most
obstinate cases, and yet was gentle
with women, children and elderly
people.
Today, this same famous, effective
prescription, known as Dt. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, is the world's most
popular laxative. It may be obtained
from any drugstore.

j licitor of the recorder's court to
j succeed Mr. R. R. Blanton. These
I two officials will take oath of office
}j The Legislature of 1929 enacted
ja law whereby these two offices be
jcome appointive, instead of elective,
■'and placed the solicitor on a salary
; basis instead of a fee basis. This
*■ new arrangrement takes effect the
J first of the year. The new law calls
I for the appointment of these offi
icials on or before the first Monday

- j this law the two boards, in session
I last week, appointed these officials.
r ' The salary of the recorder will

j Spindale, Nov. > 11.—Spindkle !
Town Board met Nov. 11, and fixed;
the, tax rate for 1930 at $1 on each
SIOO worth of property. The rate
last year was $1.30, a reduction of
30c over last year. This was made
possible on account of the sale of the
municipal water and light plants to
the Southern Public Utilities Co. The j
town of Spindale operated last year,
within its budget by a margin of j
$7,000. In other words it lacked j
that much of using up its budget j
as outlined a year ago. The bud-|
get for the coming year is over
SBO,OOO.
The board awarded a contract to j
the Biltmore Concrete Co., to put)
down a second coat of tar and
gravel on Spindale street, which!
runs from the the railroads North ,
about a mile. This will cost around j
$3,500 and work will be done at j
once. !
The board passed the first read
ing of the franchise of the South-!
ern Public Utilities Co.
Acidity
The oontßon cause of digestive diffi
culties is excess acid. Bods cannot site*
this condition, and it burns the stomach.
Something that will neutralize the acid*
itv is the sensible thins to take. That is
why physicians tell tie public to use
Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prepa
ration can neutralize many times its
; volume in acid. It acts instantly; relief
is quick, and very apparent. All gas is
dispelled; all sourness is soon gone; the
whole system is sweetened. Do try this
perfect anti-acid, and remember it is just
as good for children, too, and pleasant j
for them to take.
Any drugstore has the genuine, pre
»criptional product.
