Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind., heard of Or. Caldwell's yrup Pep sin, obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition. Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin has saved them from calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bottle of it in the bouse to use when needed. She found it equally effec tive as a laxative for herself and other members of the family. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin; pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. At does not gripe or strain, and con tains no opiate or narcotic drug, it is the ideal family laxative, mild and I'easant for baby, yet acting quickly i n the strongest constitution.

If oar Boy is Looking for a Job. The Woman's Home Companion receives thousands of letters annual ly from people asking what' they should do with their children in looking for work. . The November issue answers some of the questions. The writer of the article says in the nrst place, when a pros pective employer aBks your boy, 'What can you do?" don't, under any circumstances, let mm answer. 'Anything.' No employer wants a boy to do anything; he wants an or ganization each member of which does something definitely and well. Let us illustrate: "two young men applied to me for positions on the same day. Both of them were well dressed, well edu cated and intelligent. The first one said, 'I ,am willing to do anything. I want to Join your organization. Start me any where, and I'll find a place for myself.' I liked his spirit; .but I couldn't see how I would be Justified In adding a penny to the payroll at the moment, so t told him In tne old formula that I would take his name and address and let him know if anything turned up. "The second young man came tn a wholly different fashion. Laying some papers, on my desk, he pointed out to me a certain trivial weaKness -tn my organization, a certain spot. where work was being done badly, which he had discovered from study ing my business in his technical school. 'I can do that particular job for you better than ft is being dqne now, he said, and I can save you money on it. "That young man got the Job." The Price of Cotton. Judge Clark, of The Statesville Landmark, wrote 4 piece the other j day and stated that he was under the impression that cotton brought as much as 20 and 25 cents a pound Just after the Civil War, but be could not hark back that far "played like" he is too young to re member Just "atter the war," and ne asks somebody older to tell about it. , The Charlotte Observer of today hands The Landmark and the public generally the following interesting facts; , in tne year following the war cotton brought 52 cents. In 1867 the highest market price was 36 cents. The following. year, 1868. .cotton sold as blgb as 33 cents. It was 35 cents in 1869 and three quarters of a cent better in 1870. A year later it dropped to 21 1-4, but this was fol- j lowed in 1872 by a rise to 27 3-8. In 1874 cotton began to decline, the best that year bringing 17 7-8. It remained around 18 cents until 1883 when It got down to 1 1 and a frac tion, remaining In the ll's. 10's and 9 s until It struck eight in' 1896, six in 1898 and seven in 1899. It Was 11 In 1900, 12 in 1901. down to nine In 1902 and up to nearly. 12 in 1903. It was 16.65 in- 1904. and 12.60 the following year. Since then high quo tations have ranged from 12.60 In 1905 to 16.75 In 1910. These quota tions represent the highest for mid dling upland in New York, as report ed In Shepperson's Cotton Facts. ine low cotton years -when it was tn the fives were 1894. 1895, 1897, 1898 and 1899. Ia 1864 cotton brought 190 cents a pound. It, sold as high as 1 20 cents a pound the fol lowing year. It requires a cotton market at 52 cents and over to con stitute the highest since the - Civil War." Mrs. i. H. Blair, or Boone, was killed and two other members of an automobile party were seriously, in jured in an accident near Lenoir Monday when the car in which they were riding broke through the rail ing on a bridge over Gunpowder creek and turned turtle down a ra vine.

Statesville Landmark. The idea of Dr. Anderson and The Landmark about funerals and burials may not, for the time, break a cus torn so well established, but that they appeal to the public is evident by the attention they have attracted The article proposing the abolition of mourning costumes and advocat ing burials in inexpensive coIUns so that the remains will quickly dis solve and return to dust the natur al element has been widely copied by the newspapers of the Mate While no marked effect will be seen today, tomorrow or next week, the appeal to the sound Bense of the people wilt set them thinking and the seed sown may mark the quali fication produce some fruit in the years to come. "Include the monuments and the flowers," says one interested. On the monument proposition the .Land mark Is with Col. Falrbrother of the Greensboro Record and would adopt the Moravian custom of laying a small flat stone at each grave, all exactly alike. In death we are alt equal, no matter what our relations in life, and the simple slabs marking the last resting place, exactly alike. put all on an equal footing. The towering monuments in cemeterie are a waste of money, like the ex pensive funerals. Anybody who, ha the money can buy a fine monument and sometimes the towering granite shaft marks the last resting place or one whose memory had best not be recalled, so far as the things he did in life were concerned, while a sim ple slab may mark the place of one who deserves a monument that would reach to heaven. If the wortn of pis life was measured. Thus good reason, aside from the waste of money, to place all on equality in the democracy of death. Moreover as the case In buying exoenslve cas kets, many people who can t afford the cost buy expensive monuments because others do that and they think respect for- their dead de mands that they do likewise. On to whom the beauty of simplicity ap peals will be Impressed with this view by a visit to the famed Morav Ian cemetery In Wlnston-alem. When It Is desired to erect monu ments or memorials "to persons of note who really deserve some special recognition, these can be placed In some public park or on a street or other public place. Even In cases of this sort, a memorial that does some thing for the living Is infinitely bet ter than a marble shaft or bronze statute. 1 But In a public ceraeter an should be compelled to go on a level. The late Mrs. Mary Pearson Da vis, or fctatesvme, a woman or un commonly fine sense, provided in her will that the marking at the graves of herself and her husband should be simple flat stones, similar to those in the Moravian cemetery at Winston- Salem. Her wishes were carried out and the graves in Oakwood cemetery, Statesville, are so marked. From the artistic standpoint the effect' i much better. In our cemeteries, with here a great monument and there a simple slab or no marker. the effect is bad. The flowers appeal to the Land mark and It would continue them at funerals in simpller form. The cus tom of sending great quantities of expensive flowers, so many that a vehicle or two is necessary to trans port them, is a waste of money and questionable taste. Here again many people spend sums they can't afford for "the big of the thing. Send flowers, but let them be simple. inexpensive bouquets, enough to cover the grave, and let them be a gift of love and. sympathy, not be cause of custom. , 4 To the above The Monroe Journal adds this: 'But Dr. Anderson - and the Landmark can't undertake ' to press all these changes at once; and so we go back to the first proposi tion abolish mourning - costumes and put on the f 12 coffins, or bury in winding sheets. When these changes are made the others will be' easy. - Spend Your Money Merchants. . .V . With Home Ln-ret. A KM.
