A STEP IN THE RIGHT Dt,
RECTICN.

1t is with good deal Of pleasure
we commend to the con fidenCe of
our readers. and especially mothers,
CascaSweet, the new infant anG
children'S remedy now being offer
ed the public by our fellow towns
man, Chas. c. Davis.
There is at the present time, an
undoubtedly strong demand for pu
rity and safety, particularly in the
case of remedies for children. In
this instace the we'll known firm OF
E. c. Dewitt & Co, has taken the
public in tdeir confidence by print
ing on each package of Cascaweet
the true name of every singleingre-
dent of the preparation. This will
undoubtedly strongly commend
itself to physicians and mothers
alike. Mothers can be thoroughly
satisfied in giving this simple,
pleasant remedy to their children,
in knowing that every ingredient
and element is printed on the pac! :
age for their information. This
enables them to know exactly what
they are giving their little ones
when they administer CascaWeet.
The old time method of relieving
children 5 complaints by Supplying
or deadening their sensability with
drugs to produce artificial sleep, is
suppressed by this harmless remedy,
and the advanced position taken by
this we'll Known firm, in making
known the ingredients of such a
valuable remedy. will undoubtedly
find a number of followers within
a short time.
The greatest care should be exer-
CiSed i'll the selection of a remedy
for the complaints peculiar to chill
dren. The day is past and gone
when a mother was content to ad-
minister to her child tie old time
soothing syrups and medicines con-
tanning powerful and harmful drugs
to produce artificial sleep. such as
morphine and opium, and it is with
satisfaction that we note the ad
vanced position taken by Z. c De
Witt ~ Co. in not only OmIting
from the composition of the medi
cine itself any opiate or narcotic,
but in placing in plain English on
each and every bottle the name of
each of its ingredients. Casca
sweet is a vegetable corrective of
SUPERIOR merit as its formula shows
it to be.

The Canal and Airy Nothings.

should be q warning to others. He fol-

The canal cannot be dealt with through
the medium of gossip or insinuation. Mr.
Williams confesses that his mail is heavy
with charges which he has not the time to
investigate. and Will not use in their raw
state. The decision is creditabe to his char
acter and position. But does not the dis
trust he expresses of conditions on the
isthmus grow largely out of that corre-
spondence? Things that are in the air are
too far away

The Warm Winter.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
All sorts of scientific persons are engaged
In a discussion of the causes which have
led 10 the extraordinary warm weather this
winter and as to its probable results There
Is an old saying to the effect that a green
Christmas makes a white graveyard but
some of our medical sharps inform us that
there is nothing in 1t at all; on the con-
trary, under normal circumstances health
is not to be affected The rise of the saw
ing is said to be due to the fact that Sc
we're epidemics have sometimes come dur
Ing soft winters, but modern science has
shown that these are largely independent
of the weather. The causes are much more
difficult to understand, because of the very
technical language employed. We are told
that there have been an unusual number of
cyclones and anti-cydones In the gulf re-
gion and not enough in the north. and that
certain currents have gone such and such
a way, instead of in some other so that
we getting our temperature from the
tropics instead of the north pole, all of
which may be convincing to some persons,
but not to the average layman. 1t is not
explained why all these cyclones have
worked so curiously this winter.

The inaugural change-of-date resolutions
introduced in the House and Senate by the
chairmen of the two committees on the ju-
dietary have been referred back to those
committees and placed IN the hands of sub
committees, which are now engaged In an
examination Of the subject. The Commits
sioners have laid before them the argu-
ments in behalf of The change to the last
Thursday In April. and all the data reia-
tive TO the proposed reform. The actual
work Of securing the adoption of the nsces-
sary amendment to the Constitution may
Ee said to be well under way
This matter should be disposed of by
Congress at the present session. If that
IS done. there will ie ample time for the
ratification of the amendment by a sufii-
Gent number of states in season for the in
auguration in 1909 If this winter is al
lowed to go by without action there will be
but slight chance of the enactment next
year. when the session is short and the
long session of 1913 will be barely in time
for securing the necessary ratifications to
put the reform into effect at the next In
auguration
The problem will be no easier of solution
another year than II is now. If 1t Is kept
distinct from other questions such as that
bling of the newly elected Congress. it is a
very simple question indeed. The term of
the incumbent must be extended by seven
and a half weeks. Correspondingly the
term of the Congress sitting in the year of
the change must be similarly heightened.
This readjustment involves no awkward
difficulties as would the change from De-
Gender meeting of Congress thirteen
months after election to a January meeting
two months following election. However
desirable may be the proposed reform to
bring Congress into action sooner after the
people have cast their votes it Is compll-
Gated and would prove troublesome to ar
range. involving as it necessarily would the
relations of Congress TO the formal dec!ara-
ton of the electoral vote for the presidency.
The inauguration date change is de-
manded by the people. There is no serious
word of dissent in all the comment upon
the proposal. The residents of all sections
who have visited Washington on such an
occasion know from personal experience the
risk thst is always run by an inauguration
crowd. Those who have never been here
having been perhaps kept away by fear OF
the climate of Washington in early March
have no difficulty in imagining the terrors
of exposure to the sleet and wind and cold
and snow sometimes experienced on In
auguratlon day. The common sense of the
proposition to change to a more clement
date appeals to all classes of the people.
There is no patience with the suggestion,
occasionally heard, that the ceremoniaIs in
cident TO the induction into office might be
held some weeks after the administration
of the oath on the 18th of March. The peo-
pie want to see the President inaugurated
on the date set by the laws, and they want
a chance to witness the occasion with all
its attractive features. without rislSing their
lives by exposure to the elements.

ed nothing more keenly than an occasional
hold-up of himself by some enterprising

Col. Mann must be accredited with max
ing few mistakes in his practice. Per-
haps he will blame himself for not asking
for more when he approached his generous
friends and solicited the loans which they
SO readily granted. Up to a certain point
his plumbers were those OF moderation
rather than rapacfty. But this very re-
streint finally produced reaction which
in turn brought about the colonels present
embarrassment and the painful disclosure
OF his methods-much after the fashion OF
the familiar stage trick of exposing the
mechanism which aids the sleight-of hand
performer. The clever colonel over-reached
himself at last when he decided to go after
larger field of contributors to his bank ac-
count. by means of .'FadS and Fances."
That was a serious error Of Judgment. 1t
inevitably involved publicity. He should
have known that 1t would be impossible to
