THE PEEVlSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfGlness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where tie use Of a gentle,
effective laxative stimUiant is indi-
Gated, many Of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. CaidwelPs Syrup
Fepsin. This preparation is admitted
" the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpIeasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$100 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. W.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

So saying, he took a pinch at my
shirt front and stepped back again
impressiyely.
Then his great head shot forward in
front of his rigid neck-so suddenly,
by Jove, that | reached out to try to
catch it, don't you know. He made
just two strides to the table, ten feet
away, and bounced upon the pajamas
with obviously trembling hands
And behind his back Billings re-
lapsed into an armchair and famed
himself with magazine.
The professor fumblingly sought
through his pockets, and producing a
pair of spectacles with phenOmenally
large lenses, adjusted them shakily.
He bent over the pajamas eagerly.
Impossible! And yet, it is, it Isl"
he muttered. Il would know the

undoubtedly, undoubtedly-the lost
silk of Si-LingChi! How comes it
here?'
He glared around rather wildly at
each of us in turn. Without waiting
for reply, he whisked back to the
pajamas, and fishing out thick mag
nifying lens, scrutinized the garments
closely 1t seemed that he would GER
tainly nod his big head off its jolly
hinge; and his quick side glances at

we caught a random sentence.

say. Hers beyond peradyenture OF a
doubt | am not mistaken"
"Ah, gentlemen!" exclaimed the
professor, coming back again, what
a thing this little Chinese woman did
for civilization when she gave the
world silk culture and invented the
Iooml No wonder the Chinese deitied
her as a goddess"
Goddess" Billings swallowed hard.
And did these-h' garments be-
long to the LADY,"
The professor frowned at him in sur
prise. "Garments?"

questionable grammar, pointing to the
table. They are pajamas, you know"
