CHILD MORTALITY IN SUMMER
Every summer the newspapers are full of horrifying stories of the death list
among infants and children and extremely old people. In nursing infants and
children still being fed largely on milk this is usually due to the quality of the
QSE milk itself, and in aged people to a general
gm gAep, a . e weakening of the system because of extreme
DR. CALDWELL 3 - heat. Still, a great many of the deaths are due to
SYRUP PEPSIN digestive trouble, and these can usually be
avoided by the timely use of a reliable laxative-tonis. There is no remedy for
this purpose that lends itself better to the uses of children and aged people than
Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which for a generation has been the reliance of
thousands of mothers and which is gaining in favor every year. This remedy,
unlike a purgative, salt, laxative water or "infant medicine,” contains-nothing
that is dangeroua to the health of the weakest or youngest person, and its re-

Sereams of women and children and
the sound of breaking glass added to
the Impressivenees of the scene for
those who had never been in a wreck
before. The ralls for about 100 yards
were torn apart, the ties were cut by
one of the care, and the embankment
was torn away in some places by the
falling cars. Some of the trucks ran
off down the track while others
skimmed away over the embankment.
Other parts of the cars were broken.
No one was at all seriously hurt,
which la considered little short of ml-
aculous, especially as several of the
cars were certainly in a dangeroun pro-
sitlon on the bank.
The accident happened at 4:15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and in spite of the
fact that the conductor went to a farm
house and telephoned Into Granger and
finally walked ths four miles into
Georgetown and telephoned again, the
relief train did not arrive until nearly
8 o’clock. As the engine and observa-
tion car was the only part of the train
still on the track, they were the only
part ot the old train that arrived in
the city last night, the rest being
formed after the rescuers reached
Granger.

his care, but to no purpose. He was
outnumbered and attacked from two
directions, the first party distracting
his attention from the second, which
wa* forming under cover of the trees
and which soon opened on him with
heavy volleys. Finally, as the ap-
proaching lines circled around him and
were drawn closer down on him, with
a rapid advance the two companies
came within a few yards of the forti-
fications and all was lost. But with
the courage and resolution of a born
commander, Captain Dowell set fire to
the stores, fort and baggage trains in
his command and watched them burn
to the ground with a smile of satisfac-
tion as he realised that he had de-
prived his enemies of the pleasure of
capturing them and driving his men
from the fort. Just as the flames rose

BONDS BY SMALL MAJORITY.
A long string of local Colquitt root-
era went Out in autos last night to
Manor to attend the Colquitt rally
at that place. A crowd of 300, exclu-
sive of the Austin delegatton, heard
the several very able 3peeches deliv-
ered.
Mr. Anderson, chairman of the meet-
ing, introduced Hon. John E. Shelton,
county democratic chairman, who
spoke for Mr. Colquitt, saying that he
stood for peace and a let-up on the
habit of reckless legislation.
Mr. Shelton, at the conclusion of
his remarks introduced the principal
speaker of th® evening, Senator F.
Charles Hume, Jr., of Houston, whose
brilliant and witty address brought
forth rounds of applause from the
large audience. The gathering seemed
to be of one mind on the question of
the selection of a governor. Mr. Hume
took occasion in the course of his re-
marks to make favorable reference to
the candidacy of Hon. A. B. David-
son for lieutenant governor.
Following the adress the band ren-
dered in a very edifying manner the
insplrng tune of "A Hot Time in the
Old Town."
Senator Brachfeld folldwed Mr.
Hume, and spoke principally in the in-
terest of Lieutenant Governor David-
son.
This address was followed by the
selection, "We’ll Be Waiting at the
Gate.”
Hon. A. G. Schlueter, representative
from Travis county, concluded the
speaking program with a strong and
logical presentation of the claims of
the Kaufman county candidate for tho
suffrage of the people.
