Watch Carefully

Start Them off Right With a
Good Laxative and Then
Watch Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it in
digestion. and urge it to take more
Of what is quickly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this Is not meant a physic
or purgative, for these should never
be given to children, nor anything
like salts, pills, etc. What the child
requires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, which, in
the opinion Of thousands of watchfuI
mothers, is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to constipa-
tion. So many things can happen to
a constipated child that care is neces-
sary. Colds. piles. headaches. sleep
lessness, and many other annoyances
that children should not have can
usually be traced to constipation.

ASKS IMPROVEMENT
At SOLDIERS HOME
Inspector General Of Army De-
cIares Patients Should Get
Better Care.

Better provisions for the care Of In
sane patients at the Soldiers Home
should be provided. according to the
report of the inspector general of the
army. Such patients now are cared for
in an insane ward in the cellar, and
better and more modern provisions are
recommended.
The forming of volunteer fire COM
panies by the employees Is suggested
Another recommendation Is that ele-
vators should be provided In the Sher-
man and Sheridan buildings, owing to
the inf1rmfty of the veterans.
The report of the board Of commits
sioners Of the home. which accompanied
that of the inspector, shows an In
crease of nine inmates Of the home
during the year, increasing the total
membership on June 90 1913, to $50
The deaths of inmates during the year
numbered 1S. as against 100 last year
The ages of the resident inmates range
from twenty-four to ninety-two years:
621 are from sixty to ninety-two years
old, and pa have served from twenty
to thirty-one years in the army.
The inmates of the home receiving
pensions number $40. OF these. $50 are
receiving from s24 to $50. FIVE S72, and
one 800 a month. The total disburse-
ments for the year were $50. .003.4 and

ton Of G. Stuart Brodock, the author.

CHICAGO, Oct IA severe blizzard
