ORIGINATED IN ARMY RANKS
Expression That Spread Far Had Its Inception in the Mess Room
 of Officers.

Capt. Henry c. Lyon, U. s. A.. was about making a noise like this or that. At Peekskill, in 1906, he gave instruction to officers of the New York National Guard doing duty in
 hat tour of camp. The first day he formed the officers into a class in the big mess hall. which was open at the sides, so that all that went on inside was seen and heard by the enlisted men passing back and forth In teach ing the officers how to give commands, Capt. Lyon impressed upon the class the necessity of clear enunciation and of making commands like an of ficer says Arms" not "umps,' etc. The privates capacity for turning things to their own amusement was shown a few minutes after that first class was dismissed, for officers going through their company streets heard privates in front of group of men shouting out: Make a noise like an officer" whereupon the entire class" would roar "umps." A reporter sent an account to a New York paper, and as Make noise like hoop and roll away" etc. However, 1t is seldom one hears the words "ams" or march" i" the voice finding it much easier to slur the word till it may mean any thing. and as the preparatory com mand indicates what is to be done, the command following is merely sig nal for the execution of what has al- ready been specified.

The Tickled Child.

The idea is firmly in the minds of many good people that laughter means happiness.
 This accounts a great deal for the habit they have of tickling children.
 If they did but know it, the wild shrieks and peals of laughter often betoken anything else but happi- ness.
 To hold child so that 1t cannot get away and tickle it until it screams with laughter Is a wretched form of amusement
 It may work untold mischief upon the child's nervous system.
 It is quite possible to bring on an attack of hysteria in this way.
 More than that, it is bad for the child's temper. Several persons now grown up have confessed to a posi- tive hatred for persons who thus tor mented them
 A little of it is no doubt harmless. but it should never be done to a child who is not perfectly free to es- cape if he wishes.

THE CURFEW AT CHERTSEY
Romantic Associa.,ca C. Pretty Ing Ilsh Village with the Sun-
 down Bell.

At sundown the little Surrey village Of Chertsey will re-echo to the toll ing of the curfew bell, which. in ac- cordance with ancient custom, is sounded every evening from Septem- Der 29 to March %.
 It is appropriate that Chertsey should thus maintain the custom. for the village has interesting "curfew" associations. The curfew bell which hung in Chertsey abbey tolled for the funeral of Henry VI, murdered in the Tower of London and hurried to Chertsey to be buried without priest. clerk, torch or taper. singing or say. ing"
 The abbey was also the scene of the romantic legend which relates how Blanche Heriot, to save her lover Neville, nephew of Warwick the kingmaker, condemned to die at sun down, climbed the curfew tower and held the clapper of the great bell. The story, always popular locally. attained wide fame when Mir. Clifford Harrison embodied it in his poem The Legend Of Chertsey." Since then reciters au- diences have probably had their fill os it.-Westminster Gazette,

FraiI Women

The woman who is by nature not
 robust cannot be too careful of her
 health. The foundation of all health is in the stomach Without good di-
 gestion the body is not nourished, and
 then soon becomes feeble and weak.
 In order to have good digestion reg
 ular bowel movement IS absolutely
 necessary, and 1t is at this point that
 so many women neglect themselves. In any of these conditions you cannot do better than to take Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup
 Pepsin. the remedy that thousands of family laxative. and in addition to its
 wonderful power to cure chronic consti- patton and chronic indigestion, 1t con- tains tonic properties that strengthen the stomach muscles so that in time they will work naturally again without the aid of ' medicine - Any druggist will sell you bottle for the small sum of 50 cents though persons who have used the remedy before and
 know what it is buy the $1 size. Mrs.
 is 6s and feeble, uses 1t regularly and
 speaks in the highest praise of it. Esther Pine. of Marion, Ind, is also an enthusiast of this wonderful remedy and she wished she had the fortune to tell the whole world about 1t. Both these ladies, as we'll as hundreds of others we could name, first became acquainted with pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin through the doctors offer to send any sufferer a free test
 bottle direct to the home.
 He will send you or any other sufferer a sample bottle free of charge on receipt of your name and address. It is won derfully effective in the stomach troubles of children and babies. girls entering the period of menstruation and old folks, all of whom need gentle laxative.

For forty years methods of treat

not been for lack Of prosressivenes

the supposition which seemed to be
we'll grounded in fact that owing to
the complex and refractory nature
of the mineral produced, the process
of cyanidation used in other localities
could not be effectively used in this
region. The problem of adoption Of
