Bowels are Basis
of Child Health

The careful mother. who watches
closely the physical peculiarities OF her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the followins night If
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover it's accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether

When good counsels | despise.
When for truth | take to lies,
When my asperation dies,
Then I'll take to drink.
When all virtue | reject.
When | glory in neglect,
When I've lost my self-respect,
Then I'll take to drink.

THF: LAST STAND,

They tell me that you took your stand,
In the name of government good;
And fought for right with heart and
hand,
AS all true governors should.
Yes, indeed, you took your stand,
Behind bank of gold
And fought for "Socalled" fettered
With ways ard means untold.
You wauld strangle youths ambitious
prayer,
With your schemes to buy and sell;
How can poor man climb tame's stair?
In the face of such odds? pray tell.
Four long years you've had control;
Did you fight this monster Rum?
That DESTROYS, as you say, both body
and soul
Pray show US what you've done.
Did you say as much as you should have
said.
When the Legislature met,
About country being bled,
Or state that had long been wet?
Were you laying your plans for anoth-
er race,
When the Three mile" plea came
round;
When this petition was held in your
face
Why did you turn it down?
And when strong drink took control,
OF the Senate's marble hall,
Did you try with all your soul,
To pin it to the wall? ,.Asz
When Little made mis- famous filings.
Did you know what he said was true?
AS man who could accomplish things,
The people were trusting you.
Then it was time to take your stand,
In the name of God and right;
The people witt you heart and hand,
Would have joined in the holy fight.
The majority is not always right.
The minority can say no more;
But complete returns in Wednesday 5
fight
Conyinces me more and more.
That the power of rum wa not in force,
Tha, propelled this great Land slide :
Bat yss ratAes the peoples course
In securing for us state wide.
MAY this be the gladstone day,
Is wish and prayer from me;
That strong drink has lost its sway,
And we stand unshackled-fr
They tell me as the states chief man,
There was nothing that you could do.
To drive this monster from the land
Or help the "Prohi' crew.
If you could not figat this sin,
Then say without doubt,
You'd better be outside lookin in,
Than inside lookin' out.

Spray Apples.

The State Board of Horticulture
has been making inquiries and after
receiving reports from all over the
State gives it out that last year
sprayed trees averaged 2 to 3 BUSH
els more than trees not sprayed and
the fruit being of better quality
brings about IL IL cents more per
bushel than unsprayed fruit. 1t will
pay you to spray your fruit trees.
Study the question a little and find
out the proper times to spray.
BY the way, if the farmers could
prevail on W. M. Hicks to make
them a talk on fruit growing and
would follow his instructions they
would grow more fruit. their trees
would live longer and in fact fruit
growing would be one of the most
profitable things on the farm. We
believe that if several farmers
would ask Mr.. Hicks to make Q
talk and would promise him an au-
dience that he would make a talk
that would help make farm life
more pleasant and farming more
profitable. Try it.

drives the bus for the Elliott barn,
let his team get away from him at

1t ran east and in turing south on
Main street one of the horses slipped
on the stone crossing and fell
Men on the street secured the
team before the horse could get to
his feet to do any further damage.
Main street was thronsed with peo-
pie and vehicles and had the fright
ened team ran down that street
with the bus, in all probability there
would have been serious results
There was no one in the bus at the
time but from the way the horses
started out it could only be imaein-

looked like after the race.

Lucinda's Hat.

There is trouble down in Haiti,
There is war among the Turks,
And the Portuguese are scrapping
With their sashes full of dirks;
The Columbians for ructions
To a man are standing pat,
But it's nothing to the fracas
When Lucinda wants a hail
In the ancient land of China,
Far across the rolling sea,
Lo. they pull each others pigtails
And forget to drink their tea;
And Morocco's always ready
With the French to have a spat;
But It's nothing to the racket
When Lucinda wants hat!
Coffee cold and biscuit soggy,
Milk and butter strong and sour.
Sulky looks and snappy answers,
Signs and sniffles by the hour,
Cuffs and kicks for poor old Towser.
And the broomstick for the cat -
Every morning that's the program
When Lucinda wants hat!
Pleasant words and smiles and kisses,
Apple sauce and chicken fried,
Sweet potatoes, jam and waffies
Wait for me at eventide,
And the tabby-cat and Towser
Are invited to the mat.
And the dove of peace is with US
When Lucinda gets her hatl
