One Way of Saving
 a Baby-F rec to Try

The mother does not live who would not do all in her power to keep her child healthy, but often she does not know how. So when doctor of standing points the way all can afford to listen.
 It is an accepted fact that nine out of ten Of the troubles of infants and chil- dren is intestinal. You notice it by the fact that the child is constipated, it belches, is peevish and cries. Don't give a remedy that contains an opiate, because it, and don't become alarmed and run at once for doctor.
 Try a scientific laxative first. Give a small dose of pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the remedy that is intended for the use of children. It is mild, gentle and non- griping. The remedy is absolutely pure and is guaranteed in every particular Mrs. Toomey of Emingsville, Pa, and

NOT ALL LEAVE FARMS

Much has been said recently about the rush to the city and fears have been en ertained that the farm would lose it's great in- fuence in fostering character of men and women, No people can prosper without plenty of food, and since the farm is now and must continue 10 be the store house for this nation, there is little danger that it will ever be deserted. There will always be some one qualified to manage the farm when it's present owner gives it up in dispair. The great est difficulty for theorists and re formers will be to find homes and acreage for those who desire to live cl ose to the soil and to assist in the production of food for the thousands who must be fed. Those who live on farms and are making it pay are not worried over the rush" cityward
 The IT movement of rural popula- tion is, in many instances, survival of the fittest." " Those who have been unsuccessful in meeting the changed conditions of farm life have become dis outraged and have decided to en- ter other occupations. Salaried positions seem lucrative and the conveniences afforded in the city are no small inducement to those who have not met the demands of increasee standard of living Unfortunately, many of these dissatistied people have not in yestigated the changed condi- tionS of other occupations to be- come familiar with the close com petition and increased price of food products.
 Another apparent reason for leaving the farm is prosperity among farmers. Good crops and fair prices have placed many in a prosperous condition and no one will be surprised if they move to the city to enjoy their prosperity Rural society is un- dergoing a transformation, but this is slow and unsatisfactory to many Better schools; better churches and opportunities for higher education are powerful in- centives for leaving the farm.
 We believe that the back to the farm movement will put new life in rural people, and that the problems of rural society will be solved. There is a general desire for education in rural districts and our public schools will be i'm proved and agricultural informa- tion will be placed within the reach Of all When people learn to appreciate the opportunities that agricultural pursuits offer there will be little inducement for leaving the farm.

ACTION STARTED BY GOVERN MENT AGAINST GREAT LAKES
 TOWING COMPANY.
BELIEVES CONCERNS ONE
Trust Busting Attorney Says Evidence in Case Will Prove Lake Busi- ness Is Controlled by Big
 Corporation.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 9.-The govern ment's trust busting case against the Great Lakes Towing company, which started here before Special Examiner l.. C. Miller, Is but the first step in a long considered plan of the govern luent to dissolve the steel trust, ac- c0rding to semi-official statements.
 F. P Chamberlain, Bellefontaine, O., who has been appointed special counsel for the government in the Great Lakes company case. declared that officers, directors, methods and business policies of the alleged towing trust will doyetail so nicely with the Pittsburg Steamship company and in turn the steel corporation, that evi- dence and facts developed in the tow ing suit will furnish the necessary in- formation upon which to base disso- lution suits against the two latter or gani2ations.
 Says Steel Trust Is Parent
 The steel trust is the parent and trustee of the Plttsburg Steamship company, and the directories of all three have suspicious similarity" Chamberlain said.
 Facts which the government hopes to bring out during the taking of tes- timony in the towing company ease will be the organization of the Great Lades Towing company in 1900, about the same time that the Pittsburg Steamship company was organized.
 We expect to prove the Great Lakes Towing company controls 95 per cent of the towing business of lake ports" Chamberlain said. Since 1900 the price of towing has increased from 10 to 100 per cent in various ports"
 Vessel Men to Testify.
 M. H. Wardwell, secretary of the Great Lakes Towing company, and it's subsidiary organizations at various ports. will be one of the governments important witnesses. Books of the towing company and other papers which will, it Is believed, throw light upon the methods of the company have been ordered brought into court.
 Eleven vessel men, including Harry Coulby, president of the Pittsburg Steamship company; Thomas John son, assistant to the president of the Great Lakes company; w. A. Collier, former manager; Charles App. for noer auditor, and J. c. Gilchrist of the Gilchrfst Transportation company, will testify.
