WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev.
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath. frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition. but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
combination OF simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative. mild in Its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive In
It's effect. Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and

NEW YORK LETTER

=
BY Norman.
New York, Dec. 14.-Here is
a peep into the offices of ]. P.
Morgan & Co., the richest and
most powerful banking house in
America.
The furniture is heavy, hand
some and expensive, but plain.
The rooms are far less Preten-
tious and ornate than those of
many a firm which Morgan could
buy and sell many times over.
Smoking is allowed. Morgan
himself has a cigar gripped in his
teeth great deal of the time,
and on the desk of each Of his
associates who smokes there is a
match safe and ash tray.
A porter makes periodical
rounds Of the. offices. He carries
matches with which to replenish
the match safes, also a tray on
which there are perhaps a dozen
glasses of water, and one glass of
milk. Upon Morgan's desk and
that of each of the partners ex-
cept one he places a glass of
water, taking away the glass
that is there, Whether it be empty
or not. Nearly all the members
of the firm drink lot of water.
One prefers milk.
All the partners and most of
the employees are we'll uphols-
tered. Morgan does not like to
have men of lean and hungry ap-
pearance about him. Also, he
likes to see a mans chin, and all
the chins in the establishment
are visible. Growing a beard

would be equivaIent to a resigna-


ton.
Morgan has excellent eyesight
for a man of his years. He holds
"a printed sheet about 18 inches
from his eyes, without glasses,
and Skins through it easily. He
sometimes wears glasses, how
ever.
For many years Morgan has
had the same stenographer,
James Webster King. King is an
Englishman, about So years old,
white-haired and very active in
his movements. He takes dicta-
ton standing, with his book rest
ing on the top of the fnancier'S
desk. And King has to be able
to go some, to keep up with that
dictation. Morgan tears along at
a speed of about IS words a min
ute. He is never lost for a word
or a phrase.
When he talks, his whole face
works. The skin on his forehead
goes up and down, his cheeks
pull and stretch in all sorts of
ways, his mustache is In constant
agitation.
When the great man leaves the
office, the younger partners have
way Of heading him off, one at
a time, on his way to the door, to
ask questions. 1t may take him
IS or 20 minutes to get from his
desk to his automobile.
There are no women employed
in the Morgan offices.

IN FAVOR OF ROWING.
Oarsmen Are Said to Live Longer Than
Other Athletes.

DIR Dudley A. Sargent, Harvard's fa-
mons physical director says that of all
athletes those who take up crew work
live longer, marry younger and have
more children. and that 95 per cent pur-
sue some course of athletics after leav-
ing college. Football and basket ball,
said DR.. Sargent, are much more injuri-
Gus to the heart than rowing, and the
ratio of deaths among track athletes is
larger only because more men come out
for that branch of sport
DR.. William G.. Anderson of Yale,
who is to be connected with the Har-
ward Medical school during the winter.
said that athletes live longer than their
nonathletic brothers and that insurance
companies accept the athlete as bet

''I would much rather see $4,000 stu
dents" he said, playing football and

and twenty-five players.

Second Attack Made on Iowa
Cooperative Society.

Decorah, Ia, Jan. 19.-The Decorah
Farmers Cooperative society was at
tackled in court three months ago be-
cause of bylaw which demanded that
on every pound of pork sold to com.
peting concern certain per cent had
to be paid to the parent society. This
is what is known in cooperative or
ganizations as the maintenance
clause" Henry Reeves, local stock
buyer, was the complainant Judge
Hobson held that the custom was Il
legal and a demand for any part OF
the money thus obtained was In re.
straint of trade.
Then the cooperative society's by
law was changed. This time 1t was
made to read that all the members OF
the society had to sell to the society
and to no one else. The attorneys
for Mr.. Reeves are now engaged In
attacking this, asking that the society
be enjoined and restrained from car
rying 1t out, WHICH 1t is claimed lis In
direct violation of law and In restraint
of trade. This will be heard at the

I'm 19141915 of the one hundredth an
niversary Of peace among English
speaking peoples, named committee
to arrange for the celebration In New

The national committee has been
organized in conjunction with similar
movements in Great Britain, Canada
and other parts of the English speak

commemorate the peace anniversary
by the erection of permanent memori-
ais rather than by street pageantry
For this reason 1t has been necessary
to organize far In advance of the cele-
bration, which will extend from Feb,
II, 1915, until some time In the sum

exercises In San Francisco.
