CULTIVATE GRACEFULNESS
Thechief distinctions in society
between the "attentions" of the
thoroughly graceful gentleman,
anil one who simply knows the
rules, is that the former pays
them without attracting notice.
A lady hardly realizes that any-
thing is done for her—she only
knows that the gentleman is
agreeable.
Does the young man ask how
he shall cultivate this unconscious
gracefulness? Some men, the
readers say, have the gift by na-
ture. True-but with rare ex-
ceptions, nature declines to make
her gift available without culture
or care. There is but one way to
cultivate the ease of which we
speak. Never willingly allow an
opportunity to pay a graceful at-
tention to pass without taking
advantage of it. Never wo bay
To the FARMERS
of Bastrop and Adjoining Counties:
not even with the sister, or moth- wwmoWMMOttMWiyMMWMWMMOMi
er, or most intimate cousinly
friends. It is a mistake to regard
these things as "too formal" —
they are formal only when they
are awkward. There is not a sin-
gle polite attention called for in
society which is not appropriate
at home. If a sister drops a hand-
kerchief do not give her an op-
portunity to pick it up herself—
unless you wish to he constrained
and slightly awkward when you
are called upon to pick up a hand-
kerchief in the drawing r--cm. If
a mother is getting into a carri-
age, offer her a hand, even if it
is purely a matter of form.
More are these attentions of
young men to their near relatives
valuable and called for only as a
matter of practice. Genuine po-
liteness demands them at home
as well as in society.—Grenada
(Miss.) Sentinel.
Keep Your
Bowels Open
It Is a noticeable fact, and one which
any doctor will verify that people who
suffer most often from disease are the
ones who have the most difficulty in
keeping their bowels open. Regular
bowel action is half the battle of health.
People who have a tendency to con-
stipation must of necessity use something
to help nature along. This should not
be a violent aid like salts or purgative
waters, cathartic pills or powders, but a
syrup liquid that will oil the intestines
and membranes that it comes in contact
with. Children, women and weak
people generally should never be given a
strong physic, as It weaktma the «y t><m. And it
is futile for the atrooguHt pcreon because the
relief Udmply for that d.iy, and then the reac
lion aets iu and you are worse off than before.
What Is needfHt is a prompt but gtmtlc laia-
tlve tonic like IJr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
People have been talcing It for liw*tn yenrs
and It la belnif bettor lilted by mure people every
year. The reason is that it tins a want. H la
unlike anyihiotf else. Itesuli* are su sure in
constipation, dyspepsia. indigestion, liver
trouble, biliousness, flatulency, sour stomach,
weak stomach, bloated utotnuch and such ills
that a cure of any of the**-ailment* i« absolutely
guaranteed. A bottle cost* but N) cent* or tl and
U worth a hundred times that to any sufferer.
Wise mothers keep it constantly tn the bouse
for emergencies, because It Is needed at soms
time or other by every member of the family
Dr Luella Underbill, the medical superinten-
dent of the Workiug Woman's Home of Chicago
has kept her charyes In perfect heultb by the use
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin whenever a stom-
ach complaint was brought to her attention. No
