HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor.
NAL. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.

Decorations of the pauohters.

The aggregate value of the jewels
worn by the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution at recent reception
in Washington is said to have exceed
ed 100000 Estimates of jewels are
always liable to large reductions, but
1t may be said that If the fathers of
the revolution could at certain periods
of the struggle have had $4,000 worth
of ammunition at their command they
could have shortened the war by two
years or more.-Boston Transcript.

ARMoR IN, COLONIAL AMERICA
Worn Not Infrequently In the Early
Days and Was Richly Wrought
and Decorated.

"Armor worn, worn for service, In
America! don't believe 1t" This
from distinguished visitor who stood
in front Of one Of the cases in the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art. why
my dear fellow, we never had these
medieval people in our country" But
the fact is, none the less, that we did
wear armor not infreuuently in the
early days, and that in some instances
at least. the armor was richly wrought
and decorated, says a recent issue o.
the Bulletin Of the Metropolitan Mu
scum of Art.
It was, Of course, only In the earliest
Colonial times that arnlor was worn
regularly. In the Spanish colonies Il
was in constant service during the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries. In
deed. It was due to their complete
panoply that Pizarro and Cortez, with
their handful of adventures, routed
hostile armies. That horse armor wal
then used, and largely used, is incon'
trovertible, and the condition of panic
caused among the Indians by the in
vulnerableness OF the Spaniard cannot
be given too much weight in the study
Of the conquest. With armored horses
the invaders rode down masses Of ma
tiyes, and the invention Of the stirruI
OF the conquistadores had its grim use
in such a struggle. It WIS a stirruI
Of great weight with wide fanges al
the sides and base, and the horsemaT
could swing it fatally as he gallopet
through crowded squares. This type
Of stirrup survived in decadent form
until the early nineteenth century; Its
protecting fIanges were retained only
as space for decoration, and 1t Is more
than probable that those who latel
rode with SUCH stirrup knew little o.
its ancient use.
