HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ 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-
ritabiiity 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.. Caldwells 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.
DIR. 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
sicf.ng their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald'
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.0O
bottles. If you have never tried this

Breeding corn today has for its OBJ
Ject more than the development OF an
Increase in yield. II has been clearly
proven that by proper selection, va
rieties OF corn can be secured which
have a feeding value far above the
ordinary kind grown. This means an
increase in oil content and more es-
pecially an increase in protein.
II is possible and highly probable
that in the future when corn will be
more largely used for commercial pur-
poses than at present, sales will be
made on the basis of protein content.
Just as milk is sold today on the basis
OF fat content.
In fact. some of the large glucose
factories have already adopted this
plan. It is evidently unfair to the
msn who produces corn with II per
cent. protein to receive no more than
the man who markets an s per cent.
article.
There has been much misunder-
standing in regard TO the Importance
OF coloring matter in corn. Some
farmers hold that yellow corn is the
better feed, others maintaining the
opposite. But in the light of recent
Investigations, these theories do not
hold water
OF course yellow corn may be de
yeloped in feeding value above one OF
the white variety, but the difference
will not be because of any difference
in color. but entirely protein and oil.

Washington.-In the desire to adj

holding night sessions soon; in fact.
they may be the order at any minute.
When night sessions are going on the
capitol is a picturesque and lively
place. From without the great build
ing it looks like what in sense it
really is, an illuminated palace Of
white. the thousands of lights showing
through hundreds and it may be
thousands of windows.
Washington society takes advantage
OF night sessions of congress for an
opportunity to visit the capitol. So
ciety in the main is not great on early
day outings and it is only occasionally,
when drawn by some big event. that
the social leaders go to Capitol Hill
even in the late afternoon. The novel
ty OF a night session attracts not only
society, so-called, but the thousands
of visitors in Washington and other
thousands of residents who. working
all day, get little opportunity TO see
the law makers at their labor in the
daylight hours. The galleries at their
night sessions almost always are
crowded.

The night before the day of adjourn
ment is always gala time in the low

through with it's business for the ses-
sion and is simply waiting on the SEN
ate to catch up. The senators work
away the last night harder than they
have worked at any other night of the
session, while the house members fire.
quently give themselves over to play.
II is rather sad to relate, but occa-
sionally the play in the house becomes
something more serious than play. II
the day has been long and hot and the
debates have been sharp and bitter.
and especially if politics has been
touched upon, the members are led
from play to something more serious
and while names need not be men
toned. there have been one or two oc-
casions when the last night of the
session of the house has developed
healthy rows.
One Famous Closing Night.
It is probable that the most pic
turesque of night sessions of congress
in many years was that which wound
up the long session of the year 1904.
The adjournment was well along into
the early summer. Congress was
tired and wanted to get away; the
house had ended its work completely
except for the mere details of closing
and the members gave themselves
over to frolieking.
On that night the scene of which
likely is to be reproduced this year
every representative in the chamber
was given an American flag and with
1t there was handed to him a song
book. The night was spent in flag
waving, in singing and in telling sto-
ries.

Mai. Gen. Thomas Barry is the
superintendent of the United States
Military Academy. If the war de-
