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
a Child's constant good health is to
keep the bowels regularly open. Slug
gish bowels will be followed by loss OF
appetite, restlessness during sleep, irri-
liability, and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR.. Cald-

Since the item to appropriate $32, ,O0C
for the purchase of former Forts Davis
and Dupont to form the beginning OF
a park system in the southeastern
suburbs was left out of the District bill,
after 1t had been forwarded with the
favorable recommendation of the Dis
trict Commissioners, citizens here have
been busy endeavoring to impress upon
the Senate committees the Importance
of obtaining these old tracts for park
purposes. Ten citizens associations,
together with the United States HIS
torical Society, Department OF the To-
tomac, G. A. r., and the Army and
Navy Union, have forwarded indorse-
ments of the item to Senators.
The old forts were part of the chain

Washington during the civil war. and
they are situated in the vicinity of the
Ridge and Bowen roads, near Pennsyl-

Miss josephine Knowles, England's

criticized English parents, whom she
accused of injuring their daughters
prospects by caging them up at home,
simply catering for them in the way
of food, clothes and necessaries, but
without allowing them as much as six

Feed before you water.
Good food is economy.
Oyster shells are not good grit.
Too much soft food is not good fol

Ventilation is more important than
wheat in the poultry-house.
Watch out for lice, and grease with

Throw your ashes into the poultry
house and watch them enjoy them
selves.
Fine gravel is not the proper grit
for poultry. They want sharp ma.
terial with which to grind their food.
The incubator should be located In
q room where the temperature does
not vary much during the day OF
night.
Eggs will become fertile in from
four to six days after mating. The
effect Of mating will continue several
months.
It is necessary to feed the breed
ing ducks literally, yet at the same
time feed so as to keep them active
and healthy.
The fowls need clean, dry, comfor
table quarters during wet or colo
weather. They will pay for that kind
but no others.
The eggs from matured hens will
hateh better and produce stronger
chicks than the eggs of pullets. They
are usually larger, too.
The best roosting place for young
turkeys is on branches of trees. TheJ

TOO MANY LABoRERS THERE
No More Needed In Western Part Of
Canada, Says a United States
Consul.

Vancouver, B. C.-While It is true
that with the approach Of spring there
are fewer unemployed in British Co
lumbia than few months ago, 1t can
hardly be denied that there are more
than sufficient laborers in this prov
ince at present for any demand likely
to arise in the course OF the year,
David T. WILDER reports from Van
couyer.
The immigration Of laborers from
the United States to Canada should be
discouraged until further develop
ments have greatly changed the labor
situation here. Immigrants from the
United States are bound to be disap-
pointed because Of the lower wages,
higher cost Of living and the great un.
certainty of obtaining employments.
They should in no case come without
SUFFICIENT means to keep them for
some time in case they cannot obtain
employment and to take them back
to the United States II finally unsuc-
cessful. However, larger numbers have
been attracted to British Columbia
than can possibly obtain work, al
though the province is developing rap
idly. Hardly day has passed during
this winter when the situation of the
unemployed in Vancouver has not
been brought repeatedly to my atten-
ton BY destitute Americans seeking
assistance to get home. No less than
5000 Americans have permanently re-
turned from Vancouver alone since
November /.
II should also be added that the
laws against vngrancy are very strict
ana rigidly enforced in Vancouver.
