A Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation
Although those may dispute It who
have not tried It. yet thousands of
others, who speak from personal experi
ence. assert that there Is a permanent
; cure for ciironie constipation. Some
testify they were cured for aa ilttle as
lifly cents, years ago. and that tl.e
trouble never name back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles
before a steady cure was brought about.
The remedy referred to is Dr Cald<
well's Syrup Pepsin. It has been on
the market for over a quarter of a
century and has been popularized on Its
merits by one person telling another.
The fact that its s>rcng»st supporters

Daysey Mayrne and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
rr vH ERE may be mothet s of very
J properly brought-up and scien
tifically pruned and trimmed
maidens who have never had a mo
ment's doubt if Daysey Mayrae Apple
ton is an Example or a Warning.
They believe she is a Warning. Per
hap-i she is. Everybody is a warping
to somebody for some reason.
We arc all Dangt r Signals, but not
many of us know it.
But if engaged in her numerous love
affairs, whether in Iter capacity as an
influence in the I’p-Lift. or in her so
cial ambition. Daysey Mayme has her
good points.
S'ne alway s comes up unit buffed, and
never looks as if site needed a Con
tentment Pill.
If in the transports of requited love
or in the pangs of a love that is not
returned, .‘•be enjoys it. Naturally, she
always takes it more seriously titan the
man for the eason that he has a mus
tache to divert his attention.
If rebuffed in her efforts to raise hu
manity to the I’p-Lift. site smiles and
hunts up a new scheme for reform.
If her social ambitions fail to raise
her to cut glass society, she finds
greater pleasure, and more diversion, in
the empty jelly glass crowd.
•She is popular because she laughs
heartily at the jokes of others, and only
titters at her ow n.
The Sour-Souled Kind.
There a * some people who do not
laugh enough, having tasted so much
iri their lives that i.e sour that the taste
has settled in their souls, but this can
not be charged against Daysey Mayrne.
She goes into a whirlwind of giggles
when a man sneezes in ■ attreh. and
snickers at the drop of a hot. She
shakes and >|uaK<s and quivers in
laughing in a manner to drive a sour
faced president ami Chief Squee-wee
of a W. I’. T. C. to drink.
s She makes over her ideals too often
to suit thus who demand Constancy.
But a gill's ideals are novel made
over as often before she gets a man
as her dresses are afterward.
When any one makes her a gift, she
gets out a tom-tom and beats it and
calls attention to the generosity of the
donor, and. , onsequently. soon gets an
other.
This proves that Daysey Mayme is
shrew d, ami ,l< , s amu thinking under
het fifty-seven different varieties of
ha i r.
And she nrvi ■ thinks to quite such

elastic is in strips instead
of one whole piece. Move

and natural and the elastic fabric
lasts. It cannot become wrinkled.
Each strip is designed to with

good purpose as w hen in love.
The drug clerk is an unfortunate se
lection for her affections*, for the rea
son that the Appletons don't require
many things from a drug store. In
these days of medicated religion, few
do.
Better Chance in Grocery.
She gets more opoprtuntties for see
ing a Best Beloved when he clerks in a
grocery, for there is always a time
when soap, or matches, or potatoes, will
pave the way to a meeting.
On one occasion she was in love with
a man who clerked in a dry goods
store, and while the fever of love was
at its height she secured samples of
every bit of muslin and silk and ging
ham in the house.
There w as nothing left to go back for,
as the sewing machine drawers were
loaded with thread, and the closets
wore cramped with samples. When, oh
joy! Her mother asked her to get ten
yards of calico. She wanted Io make
a house dress for herself, she said, and
she gave Daysey Mayme a piece to
match.
Daysey Mayme thought and thought.
Suppose she went to the store and HFf
was not there! Ten yards of opportu
nity wasted!
To make sure of seeing him. and to
make sure of seeing him often, she de
tided to get the calico a yard at a
time.
Davse' Mavme. happy in her ingen
uous scheme.'went in and bought one
yard, and had it wrapped up. Ob,
bliss! He waited on her.
Again Me Waited on Her.
She left the store with her bundle,
walked around the block and stopped
in the stoic, and got a second yard.
* th. joy! Again he wailed on her.
This time she wglked around, th»
block with two bundle- unde; her anna,
and next time it was three. Then four,
then live, then six. and so on till site
left the store with a sad little sigh. Eor
she had the ten yards and there was
no necessity fur calling at the store
again.
When she banded her mother the
calico in ten different packages, there
was* a scene that awakened the babies
in the next block. A lullaby sung by
a prima donna couldn't have been more
• ffective.
But Da? sey Mayme didn't care, for
she had seen her Best Beloved ten
times!
