HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ty 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 a 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
teaspoonfu1 of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child Will quickly re-
cover it's accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. CaldwelPs 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. It's 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.O0
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington ST. Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send q

he added:

The donkey drank freely and wan
dered over to the free lunch counter,
where some one gave him a spoonful
OF tabasco sauce.
Things began to happen. The DON
key kicked over the lunch counter,
wrecked part of the bar and got to
the street. He stopped to do some
more kicking three blocks away, and
was captured

PLAN AIR ROUTE
Prince Suggests Peking-Paris
Line, and 1t Is Adopted.
Journey of Aeronauts viii Be Made
Partly over Great Desert of cobb
Stations Will Be Laid Along
the Trans-Sberian.

Paris.-After taking the advice or
leading experts on climatic and other
conditions likely to affect the Peking-
Paris air race, Prince Borghese being
among those consulted, meeting was
held at the offices of lie Matin recent
ly, at which the first definite official
program was drawn up.
The scheme submitted by Prince
Borghese has been adopted. 1t has
been settled that the race shall begin
next September, at about the begin
ming of the month, when, according to
the data received from the weather
bureau of Russia, the Siberian rainy
season Is well over, not only along
the Trans-S Siberian, but in China, and
when other weather conditions are also
favorable
The suggestion of Prince Borghese
that the Great Desert of Cobb be trav-
ersed, the route being Picking TO Kali
gan, Tuerin, Urga, Kakhta and Lake
Baikal, was adopted, as not only offer
ing the best means of arriving at 81
IBERIA, but as being admirably suited
for landings. Other reasons are that
it is frequented by caravans and that
telegraph line gives an ideal indica-
ton of the route.
The rest Of che journey will be made
by way of Irkutsk, Omsk, Kazan, Mos
COW, Warsaw, Vienna, Triest, Genoa,
Avignon and Lyons, as already an
nounced in these columns.
Stocks OF petrol and spare parts are
to be spread along the Siberian,
also across the Cobb desert at short
distances, while the food question
meets its solution by the fact that the
route follows railway stations and in
habited districts throughout.
Each entsant will be required to pay
a deposit Of $1,000, which will be re-
funded if ne makes the proper start
from Picking, but will, if forfeited, be
added to the amount of the prizes.
In an Interview Prince Borghese
stated that, in his opinion the Cobb
desert presented the only practical

MANY USES FOR PROPOSES

The only porpoise oil factory on the
Atlantic coast is established about six
miles below Cape Hatteras and near
Aatteras Inlet Along this coast por-
poises are plentiful through about SAX
months OF the year, and there are
three crews of fishermen who make
busin sss of catching them for the oil
factory. For the reason that porpoises
are easily frightened the fishermen
must be wary and quiet who would
meet with success. The method en-
ployed is to impound school in a
wide-meshed net FIRST and then to take
them with sweep net of much finer
mesh.
The porpoises are five to ten feet
in length, big and powerful. They are
skinned for their hides and the blubber
is removed. The hides are sailed down
and sent in their green state to tan
merry in New Jersey 10 be tanned and
used for shoe strings, pocketbooks and
travelling bags or suit cases. The oil
from the blubber is tried out at the
factory on the beach and then sent to
New Bedford, Mass, for refining.
The valuable head oil, the famous
porpoise oil that is used for oiling
watches and other delicate machinery,
| is obtained from the marrow of the
porpoise's lower jawbone and from a
small quantity of blubber found be-
| tween the snout and the blowbone. In
