Thousands have Endsd
their Bowel Worries
by talcing this advice!
Can constipation be safely relieved?
“Yes!” say medical men. “Yes!”
say the many thousands who have
followed their advice and know.
You are not likely to cure your
constipation with salts, pills, tablets,
or any of the habit-forming cathar
tics. But you can correct this con
dition by gentle regulation with a
suitable liquid laxative.
THE LIQUID TEST:
First: select a properly prepared
liquid laxative. Second: take the
dose you find suited to your system.
Third: gradually reduce the dose
until bowels are moving of their
own accord.
Simple, isn’t it? And it works!
The right liquid laxative brings
thorough bowel action without
using force. An approved liquid
laxative (one which is most widely
Sunday School Lesson
by Rev. Charles E. Dunn
Jesus Teaches Forgiveness.
Lesson for April 15th. Matt. 18:15
35.
Golden Text: Matthew 6--2.
Peter thought, no doubt, that he
was extremely generous in suggest
ing that forgiveness be multiplied
seven times. The common rule was
“Forgive three times but not the
fourth.” Jesus, however, with a
handsome gesture of spiritual imagi
nation, dispensed with petty, arith
metical calculation, and proclaimed
the principle of unlimited reconcilia
tion. “Not seven times over, I tell
you, but seventy-seven times over!”
And then to reinforoe this advice, He
narrated the picturesque parable of
the unmerciful servant, notable for
its sharp cantrast between unusual
generosity and shabby illiberality.
Here is a king whose servant owed
him the impossible sum of ten million
dollars. Of course he could not pay,
so hi smaster ordered him, his family
and all his property to be sold for
part payment. But the slave plead
ed against this decree so imploringly
that the monarch’s heart was touched,
and he cancelled the debt. Im
mediately, however, the servant met
a fellow-slave who owed him a paltry
S2O. Seizing him by the throat, ami
almost choking him, he demanded in
stant reimbursement. Naturally the
king, when the news reached him,
was very angry, and threw the im
pudent fellow into jail.
It may be objected that the par
able is an over-statement, and there
fore not real transcript of actual life.
It must be granted that the unmerci
flu servant is an exceptional case.
Nevertheless he does exist. Here is
a business man who pleads with
his creditors for more lenient terms,
but makes no concessions whatever
to his debtors.
Oblivously the central point of
this famous tale is that it is sinful
to cultivate an unforgiving spirit. Now
it is quite customary for folk to
cherish a grudge, or resent an insult.
Many a person has not spoken to
his next-door neighbor for years be
cause of some trival altercation or
imaginary affront. All such need
to ponder upon the meaning of this
searching parable.

used for both adults and children)
is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It
isTa doctor’s prescription, and is
perfectly safe. Its laxative action
is based onssenn a natural laxa
tive. The bowels will not become
dependent on this form of help, as
in the case of mineral drugs.
Hospitals and doctors have al
ways used liquid laxatives. The
dose can be measured, and the
action controlled. Pills and tablets
containing drugs of violent action
are hard on the bowels.
If there are children in your
household, don’t give them any fad
form of laxative, but use a health
ful, helpful preparation like Syrup
Pepsin. Its very taste will tell you
it is wholesome, and agreeable to
the stomach. Delightful taste, and
delightful action; there is no dis
comfort at the time, or after. Ask
your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, all ready to take.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Court Tennis Not Same
as Lawn or Indoor Game
The start of court tennis Is buried
In the mists of the Middle ages, but
there is a theory that It Is the offshoot
of some game played on horseback. In
any event the sport was so popular
among the nobles of France that
Charles V, in 1369, considered It nec
essary to pass an edict against the
playing of tennis In Paris. Just what
the king of France in those days had
against tennis Is not clear, because he
was so fond of the game himself that
he built two courts for his private use.
The edict of Charles V had little
effect, however, and people went on
playing court tennis from that day
to this.
Court tennis is not to be confused
with lawn tennis or the indoor ver
sion of lawn tennis, says the New
York Herald Tribune. The games may
be similar in that they are played with
a ball and racquets and the ball is
batted over a net, but beyond that
they differ widely. Court* tennis is an
indoor game, and the cost of a court
is so great that the sport is limited
to the wealthy.
The opposite holds good in the case
of squash tennis and squash racquets.
The cost of these games is almost in
significant, if one belongs to a club,
and that undoubtedly explains why
there are so many college men and for
mer college men playing the game.
The games are practically unknown
to those who have not been to col
lege. In England they play squash
tennis and squash racquets in the high
schools and in many public places.
Founder of Nobel Awards
Inventor of Explosives
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, Swedish
chemist and inventor, who founded the
awards for notable service, was born
at Stockholm in 1833. In ISC2 his fa
ther, a mechanician, began to manu
facture nitroglycerin.
In 1807, through the accidental es
cape of some nitroglycerin from a
cask into the sand of the packing, Al
fred discovered how to make a safe
and manageable explosive—dynamite.
He also invented blasting gelatin and
several kinds of smokeless powder.
Ultimately he patented more than 100
inventions and established manufac
tories in various parts of the world.
He died In 1596 leaving a fund of
$9,200,000 to provide five annual prizes
to be awarded to the persons making
the most important contribution in
physics, chemistry, physiology or med
icine, literature and the cause of world
peace. These prizes amount to about
$40,000 each, and the first awards were
made In 1901.
Gowns of Notable Women
In two cases gowns of Presidents’
wives shown in the National museum
have been replaced by other gowns.
A dress worn by Martha Washington
was lent to the museum In 1912 and
withdrawn by the owner In 1924. A
second dress worn by Mrs. Washing
ton was lent to the museum 'in 1926.
In 1929 the dress owned by Mrs. Wash
ington and installed in the museum
from 1912 to 1924 was returned to the
museum for permanent preservation.
A dress worn by Mrs. Calvin Coolidge
was presented to the museum in 1927.
In 1930 another, dress worn by Mrs.
Coolidge was substituted for the first
dress and the second dress lias been
on exhibition in the museum since
1930. In each of the cases mentioned
the dress was an original and not a
replica.
Earthquakes and Animals
One of the mysteries still unsolved
is that of the sense by which the low
er animals become aware of the ap
proach of earthquakes. For three or
four days before severe earthquakes
at Guadalajara, Mexico, the many
parrots of the city showed groat and
unusual restlessness, and during the
period of disturbance the increased
cries of the birds gave warnings of
the nearness of the worst shocks.
Itats, also, became alarmed, fleeing
from the city before the earthquakes
came. Super-sensitiveness to faint
shocks hardly gives satisfactory ex
planation. for modern seismographs
are very sensitive, and it is quite un
likely that tremors too slight to be
recorded would he felt so strongly as
to give alarm.
Mountain Ah or Rowan Tree
Tiiose familiar with the mountain
ash of Europe, which is similar to
the native species, frequently call it
the rowan tree, a common name wher
ever it is found. In Scotland, where
it attains its greatest beauty, it is also
referred to as the “whispering tree,”
for it is supposed to have secrets to
tell. The superstitious believe it to be
proof against demons and the evil eye.
A spray of berries pinned on the coat
brings jbod luck, while a tree planted
in a cemetery will drive away the evil
spirits that would disturb the dead and
also bring flowers to place on the
graves. It is one of the best loved
trees of the Highland country.
Quite a Difference
“The Aga Khan i3 against the re
volt in India,” a New York editor said.
“He thinks that India benefits under
British rule.
“He told me once in Cannes that the
abolition of the age-old practice of sut
tee alone Justified British rule in India.
“ 'By the law of the suttee,’ lie said,
‘the Indian widow in pre-English days
mounted her dead husband’s funeral
pyre and wa3 burned to death. Cre
mated then, re-mated now.’”—New
York Sun.

other neighboring counties are will
ing to give, it will be work that will
live in the future, with the path light
ed by the accomplishments of the
past.—Butler Herald.

Mrs. B. F. Watkins, of this city, and
friends here are glad to know of his
assignment to the Butler CCC camp.
