HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ the physical p~eculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
q great measure dependent upon nor.
maj healthy, regular bowel action.
n the bowels are inactive. loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep. IT.
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
t~easpoonful 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.
Or. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
%purgative waters which are harsh In
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts OF
the bowels easily and naturally, vel
positively, and auses no gripping OF
discomfort. Its tonic properties built
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $40
bottles. II you have V tried thi
remedy, send for a sample to. DR.. W

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In olden Days, Among Other Accom-.
plishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old-time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was
mistress of the ceremonies-she carv-
ed and she dealt the while her lord
merely pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for II she
gave a dinner of several courses it
was her duty to to the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner Of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of a knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess te
inquire "ff he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, Of course
the mistress Of any country hous'
was a past mistress. One recalls Lad!
Mary Montagu's fight after perfec
ton under the wing Of a professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons a week, that she might be pei
feet on her fathers public days; wher
in order to perform her function
without Interruptions, she was force
to eat her own dinner alone an hou
or so beforehand"

LOOKING to the Inevitable.

Seventy-nine years old, but with no
thought of dying for years, a South
Brooklyn retired windmill dealer spent
his recent birthday in Cleveland, o..
looking for a bargain in collins. He
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care less
when dead, SO he wanted something
that would be durable, not fancy. THE
undertakers wanted more than 500
for good cof1ins.' he told a friend,
none of which looked to be worth
more than $50. For $25 I found ]
could get one that looked as If 1t
might have cost $3.50 to make. You
don't suppose l could get a good sec
ond-hand one anywhere, do you?" The
man did not invest, but decided he
would wait awhile and see If the high
cost of dying might not be reduced.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells. and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary, l felt anxious
to try to head it off. l got the Cuti

Annually, since l993, the anniver-

lie meeting from 1890 to 1915. The
afternoon was given over to athletic
events. The program of the morning
consisted of musical numbers and an
address given by DR.. Elwood Perisho,
Professor of Geology in the State I'm
iversity of South Dakota, and state
Geologist The subject upon which
DR.. Perisho spoke was, The College
and the State" His purpose was to
show the absolute necessity of edu-
cation. If the people are to rule, they
must know how to rule. The speaker
showed by several lines of argument
that the possibilities of progress in
this country have scarcely been
touched. 1t was thoughtful, elevat-
ing, and inspiring address; one of the
best ever delivered at Penn College.
DR.. Perisho is graduate of Earlham
College, Richmond, Indiana. He is a
member of the Society of Friends, and
is man of nationwide reputation,
not only as a geologist-but as
speaker especially on educational
themes. He has recently completed

met to partake of the feast which
had been prepared. At the close of
the dinner the students went in pa
rade to the city for the purpose of
advertising the football game, which
occurred at 800 o'clock. This game,
which occurred between Penn and
Simpson. was perhaps the most inter-
csting that has occurred this year.
Simpson doubtless has the strongest
football team among the senior col
leges in the state. 1t was splendid

they were able to make as good
showing as they did The actual
score made is not Indicative of the
comparative merits of the teams.
Simpsons games were made entirely
by end runs, they being unable to get
through PENIS line; whereas, Penn's
gains were through Simpsons line at
every attempt. A series of misfor-
tunes. accompanied by some misman-
agement on PENIS part, and superior
weight and training on the part of
Simpson made the results as they
were. That Penn was able TO score

side. SO far the advantage has been
slightly on Mr.. Shockley's side, he be-

than Mr.. Kemble. Last night, how
ever, Kemble's side succeeded in edg-

three members. The attendance last
evening was the largest that has been
had for some time, there being 166
present; IS of these belonged to Kem-
ble's side and 81 to Shockley's. Many
interesting stunts have been pulled
off during the contest, but none was
given last night. Next Monday night
the stunt will be in the form of a de-
bate between three men from each
side on one of two questions which
will be decided later.

"A Stranger in These Parts"

A steel fiat car of peculiar construc-
ton, belonging to the Pennsylvania
railroad came to town the other day,
over the Burlington route. 1t was
not very long, but 1t was about seven
feet deep. 1t was loaded with nard
coal for the Blackford company and
its unloading was no small job. The
drivers could shovel off the top all
right but when they got down about
four feet, they coun. not see out. The
car was intended for elevated tracks
with a dump bottom. Finally plat,
form had to be laid under the car and
the coal dumped out and then shovel
ed into wagons. The scarcity OF hard
coal in town. however. made any kind
of car look good.
