Why Hospitals Use
a jJjjuid Laxative
Hesaitals and doctors have alwsys
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fsst returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you kaow the reasoM?
The doee of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The aetion can be con-
troll*!. It forms no Habit; you need
•ot take a "double deee" a day or
two later. WW mill a mild liquid
laxatuK irritate the kUntyt.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, end there is
no diaeomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may* keep
you constipated as long a >yoti keep
on using itl And the habitim! use of
Irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
in the high I v concentrated form of
puis aad tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a property prepared
liquid laxative like f)r. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
lew weeki' tune, and your bowels
can be "as regular us clockwork "
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative vdnili all
druguists keeii ready for use.It makes
an ideal family laxative; effective fur
all ages, and may be given the

mer or professional man, to make
an invoice of what he really is,
in addition to what he has. Make
that Invoice include his weak
points as well as his strong ones.
View the list as if it were some-
thing entirely external from him-
self. By recognizing his weak
points he can see wherein and
how he can strengthen them, and
in that way make of himself a
bigger, better citizen, more use-
ful to himself and also to his
community.
Let him, in making his inventory
of things, bear in mind that his
homp-town weekly is something
that he cannot well do with-
out. Seeing that statement as
workable truth, he should call on
the editor and give him a boost,
whether he pay him anything at
that particular time or not.
Again let us realize that what-
ever helps one, helps all, and that
whatever hurts one, hurts all.

TIIE EDITOR'S CHRISTMAS
CAKE
Yes, the Claude News Editor's
Christmas cake was boked by Mrs.
Henry Roan of Claude. And say.
that lady certainly knows how to
prepare and bake a FRUIT CAKE
for Christmas. The ingredients
were Just the proper mixture, the
flavor fine and the baking just
to a Queen's Taste. That Good
Lady, Mrs. Roan, proved herself
to be a real queen in fruit cake
baking. We, no doubt, hav many
other readers who can bake a real
fruit cake, but for tills Christmas
we ate cakes baked only by Mrs.
Roan und the Mrs. Edl'v and
they both know how to cook and
we do not mean maybe. A fat
turkey with all the trimmings,
boiled ham, fruit salad, lettuce
salad, pound cake, fruit cake,
chocolate cake, and pies all sat
before the Editor for Christmas
dinner, reminded us that Christ-
mas comes ONLY ONCE A YEAR.

TIIE HOME-TOWN WEEKLY
By
Judge Joel E. Smith
Calculating on the basis of the
usual calendar, New Years is
close at hand, and many people
use that time—especially business
men—for making invoices of what
they possess as things.
I wish every reader of this paper
whether he be business man, far-
] golden city and blazoned in
I light against the Jasper walls we
I will read. "Earth's Moulders of
Character."
I When you have finished read-
| ing this preface, dig out the cur-
j rent issue of your home town
paper, that is if you live in a
small town; turn to the edi-
torial pages. In nine times out of
ten you will read editorial com-
ment on the vexed question of the
day which are masterpieces of
journalism. The flow of language
j and the best and finest ideals are
j expressed. The country editor
j stands squarely behind a clean and
I wholesome community. He is the
I character builder of his commun-
I ity. As a rule he is not dominated
j by higher influences. He is un-
afraid and portrays the truth as
he sees it.
Filth and dirt find very little
space in the small town news-
paper. Here we find construc-
tive thought put into print, fit
for the boy or girl to read. This
editor is an unassuming man.
generally a mild mannered man
He Is wise in the ways of the
world; more frequently than
otherwise he is a family man
His family consists of one wife
and maybe several boys and girls
He gains a true perspective of life
through watching the pitfalls of
others. He burns the midnight oil
in an earnest endeavor to solve
the problems of his community
He must of necessity be a verit-
able Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde:
acquiring many roles as he mingle1
with churchmen and politicians,
honest men and crooks. You might
meet him in church or at the
show, his mission is for a given
purpose. In the archives of his
brain are collected all manner
and sorts of information. This
brain acts like a sieve, filtering
out all the filth and dirt and
rendering to the community
wholesome anil constructive
thought.
Yes the small town editor is
one of the nations greatest as-
sets. playing many ports in the
affairs of men and fools, but to
see the real man, you must meet
him in his back garden on a
Saturday afternoon, unsha\t?n,
with n hoe In his hands and
dressed like a hobo; when like
Puck he will say, 'Oh what fools
we mortals be'—Gaiette, Ingle -
i wood Cal.
In the operation of that One
Universal Law, there are neither
doubts nor uncertainties. Some of
you Bible readers will call to mind
a statement in the Bible to the
effect that Heaven and earth may-
pass away, but this Law will not
pass away.
When anyone uses words to
describe a picture, he more or less
gazes at the picture that the words
describe, and at that instant the
picture becomes the vision, or the
actual conception. Recall now what
we have heretofore said, to the
effect that in bringing things or
conditions into exlstance there are
always three steps: First the con-
ception, second the gestation, and
third the birth.
Evan if you speak a thing
merely in a jesting, or fun-making,
way, you should take care to use
such words as would help to bring
health, happiness and plenty in-
stead of words that would help
bring ailments, misery and poverty.
Do not forget that "In the be-
ginning was the Word," and no
man can find a statement in the
Bible to the effect that the Word
ever has yet ceased to be God.
It Is very good and helpful for
people at times to jest and laugh,
for laughter is good for anyone;
just the same, it is as easy to
jest and laugh about things that
are helpful as it is to jest about
things that are bad and harmful.
Therefore wc repeat, and pro-
pose to keep right on repeating,
that in the hearts and souls of
men there is ample power, which
when rightly used will bring about
the betterment that we all wish
for.

business or pleasure.

The people of Texas, Senator
