A Warning To Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule il is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. DO not use any substitute. but
give the old-fashioned castor oil. and
see that il is fresh. as rancid oil nauseates
and has tendency to grippe. If this
does not check the bowels give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose of castor oil.
and the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence even in cases Of cholera

The one-hundred-f foot rule In Trafal-

standard Of length for all countries

ures Of length. is to be replaced, saws
the London Globe, by one better hous-
ed in Westminster Hall. The present
standard, which has been copied in
steel by the government Of the United
States, Is bronze strip inlaid in gran
lite. 1t Is liable to slight inaccuracy
because 1t is exposed to varia tons in
the atmosphere. 1t has stood in its
present site since 1876.
The requirements for standard Of
this sort are long, level, dry plot,
protected from wilful damage and
from changes in the air, and yet ac-
cessible to the public in such a way
that workers can compare measures
with 1t undisturbed by idlers. West
minister Hall is said to be ideal for
the purpose. The new standard will
be subdivided to the thousandth part
Of an inch.

ing the various standards, but mono

Gates of civil service reform in that
city. says the Outlook, and was In
strumental in securing the passage OF
the law that established the merit sys-

appointed the first civil service COM
mission was VIGOROUSLY hostile to the
measure, and planned to render 1t use
less. Mr.. Hamline did not hesitate to
accept a place on it.
"How can you compromise with the
opposition," he was asked, by getting
on q commission like that, which will
have no power?"

replied, II do not wait for a star. l
