The National Geographic society mas
enjoyed a remarkable growth during the
past twelve years under the dictatorship
of Gilbert Ii. Grosvenor. When he took
charge of the Journal of the organization
the magazine was little more than a
brief scientific record of geographic dis
covery, such as would Inevitably owe
a bore to any one but the most enthusiast
tic geographer The work of the society
was light that he did not have even
one assistant. Today there are more than
fifty people employed in the Offices Of
the organization. 1t has been said
that Great Britains success in acquir-
ing the choicest portions Of the globe
is partially explained by the fact that
her statesmen have usually kept an
excellent map and secret reports of
reliable explorers on file. and that

THE CHlLDREN'S HEALTH

In observing the physical character
istics of her children, the careful moth
er soon learns that health Is depend
ent on the regularity Of the bowels.
When the bowels become clogged with
the stomach's refuse, loss OF appetite.
restlessness. irrtability, and similar
evidences of disorder are soon appar-
ent. Keep the bowels regular and a
healthy. happy child is assured.
At the first sign Of constipation the
mother should administer a mild laxa-
tive to carry off the congested waste
from the stomach that is fermenting
and forcing poisonous gases into the
system. A simple compound of laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin is highly recon-
mended as being very mild, yet posi-
tive, in it's action, a teaspoonful at
bedtime usually serving to bring an
easy. thorough. natural movement
next morning. This compound is
known as Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin
and is sold by druggists everywhere
for soc bottle. A larger bottle, put
up especially for the family medicine
chest, costs one dollar.
The use Of salts and violent purga-
t:ses and cathartics should be avoid
ed. They are too harsh and drastic.
