down without giving his message

THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH

In observing the physical character
lstics of her children, the careful moth
er soon learns that health is depend
ent on the regularity of the bowels.
When the bowels become clogged with
the stomach's refuse, loss of appetite,
restlessness, irritability, and similar
evidences of disorder are soon appar-
ent, Keep the bowels regular and a
healthy, happy child is assured.
At the first sign of constipation the
mother should administer a mild laxa-
tive to carry off the congested waste
from the stomach that is fermenting
and forcing poisonous gases into the
system. A simple compound of laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin is highly recon-
mended as being very mild, yet posi-
tive, in its action, teaspoonful at
bedtime usually serving to bring an
easy, thorough, natural movement
next morning. This compound is
known as DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup Peps1n
and is sold by druggists everywhere
for SOC q bottle. A larger bottle, put
up especially for the family medicine
chest, costs one dollar.
The use of salts and violent purga-
tives and cathartics should be avoid
ed. They are too harsh and drastic,
tending to upset the entire system.
Write to DR.. w. B. Caldwell, 203 West

ChivaIrous Sort of Robber Who Had
Good Qualities Enough to Keep
His Memory Green in Region
Where He Was Known.
In a recent issue of yo&r pape1

In q recent issue of yo&r paper
there is a reference to Davis Lewis
and f:is lookout, which is of great in
terest to me, as in my childhood Davie
was second only to Robin Hood in
our list of heroes, Mary H. West
writes in the Pittsburgh Gazette
| Times.
| He was not creature of the imagi-
nation, but veritable forest ranger
who Waylaid and robbed travellers by
day and night. His plan by night was
an ingenious one He had a window
Of the kind then in use Of eight or ten
small panes. Inside of this he placed
a lighted candle, and when a belated
traveller came by the window was
placed where one seeing it from the
| road would think house was in
sight. As1 the traveller approached the
window was moved back until he was
far enough from the highway to serve
the purpose Of the brigand, when he
would be assaulted and robbed.
Davie Lewis was never a murderer
and in many ways resembled Ns
great English prototype. He never
robbed the very poor and allowed his
rich victims to retain enough money
to pay innkeepers or other expenses.
Once he encountered Quaker mer-
chant whose ducats jingled and dan
gled in leather pouch, suspended
from his belt. Davis demanded the
Anfr hn wit a
huge blunderbuss and the Quaker was
without weapons the purse was Oblig-
ingly thrown to the side Of the road.
But, alas for Davie! AS he stopped to
pick it up the we'll trained horse of
the merchant kicked him into the un-
derbrush and sped away, while the
discounted, limping highway picked
up the wallet to find it full of nails,
broken pieces of slate and other lin
ely things
Once the sheriff of Bedford county
(Which at that time included Somer-
set, Cambria and Blair, as welD, had
sold out the household effects Of a
poor widow who was unable to Fay
her taxes. Davie heard of her cad
plight, promptly visited the office: at
his home, robbed him and restored the
money to the widow in an ananymSus
manner.
At last Davie was caught through
the treachery Of an accomplish and
lodged in the Bedford Jail. He was
allowed to exercise in the Jail yard,
where one day in broad daylight he
scaled the high wall, dropped into an
unfrequented street and walked out of
town before he was missed. BuE he
was recaptured and paid the penalty
of his crimes, hanging at that time
being the punishment.

GIVE TOUCH OF SHARPNESS
Artificial Rose or orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
of an Evening Gown.

Make a huge rose of black velvet IL
you need little extra touch of smart
ness for your evening or tea gown.
The rose Is formed Of a dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower.
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
foudation easily made of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead of
being doubled, as Is done in making
exotics of thin material, is smoothly
pasted on one side of piece of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity of
mucilage used will stiffen the joined
materials to the desired firmness and
ret they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged.
Easier to shape than the rose is the
orchid. This, also made of velvet and
coarse net, has six long and slender
tips with slender golden threads. An
olive, such as is employed in connec-
ton with military loops, is the best
foundation for velvet orchid, and to
one end of it the wider ends of the
petals may be securely fastened.
This will leave a point protruding
from the heart of the exotic, but one
which may be beautiful concealed un-
der catlix group of seven yellow
! silk French knots. The other half
of the olive will be needed as the base
through which to thrust the safety
pins that fasten the flower at the
breast or wherever the corsage bou'
quet is worn
