Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
Regular Bowel Movement from
Childhood on Forestalls
Future Serious Disease

We can not all start life with the advan-
tages CT money, but every child born is
entitled to the heritage of good health.
Through unfortunate ignorance or care
lessness in the feeding of a baby its tiny
stomach may become de-anged. The dis
order spreads to the bowels and before
the mother realizes it the two chief
gans on which the infants comfort and
health depend are causing it great suffer-
ing. If the condition is allowed to con-
tinue grave ailments often result.
There is, however. no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to debut it
should be done instantly-is to give the
baby small dose of mild laxative
people, among them such well-known per-.
sons the parents of Dixie Dudley. Mag
nolia, Ark, the proper remedy is DR..

COlOniSt Travel to West Light
This Spring.
Fasteners Not Attracted by
New Homes in 1913.
RATES effective To APRIL IS
Fare This Year Five Dollars
Lower Than 1912.
Other Items of Interest In the
Traffic World.
RATES EFFECTIVE To APRIL IS

A marked falling off in colonist
travel to the west and Pacific coast,
as compared to similar traffic year
ago, is predicted by the railroads for
this spring.
Colonist rates to all points in the
west-but arranged especially to in
duce the farmer and city dweller OF
the Mississippi valley and middle
states to find new homes on the Pa
cific coast-became effective March
Is and will continue until April Is.
Last year, although the rate was
higher than the preceding season,
saw a record movement of colonists
through Topeka for points to the
west.
The interruption of traffic between
the mountains and the Missouri river
the first two days the reduced rates
applied is credited in a measure for
the reduction in coloniSt travel.
The colonist rates, under the read
justment made last year and apply
ing again this year, abe $3S from chi
sago and $50 from Missouri river
points to the northwest and Pacific
coast, the latter including Los Ange-
les and other southwestern Paeltlc
coast paints.

Many Baseball Stars Born on
Thirteenth Day.
Winning Team Could Be
Picked From Bunch.

Lucky would be the magnate who
could secure for his team those players
who happen to have been born ON the
alleged unlucky date of the thirteenth.
Said magnate probably would by the
middle of the season be making prep
arations to enlarge the seating capacity
of his park. for from the players whose
birthdays fall on the hoodoo date a
worlds championship combina ton
could almost be picked.
The manager of this Thirteen club
would be ]. Garland Stahl, of the Red
SOx. He was born on April 10. 1880.
Presenting that Stahl might prefer to
remain where he now is. a person
named Fielder Jones, who was born on
August Is, 1874, might be induced to
take charge.

rates. who was born on April 49, 1854,
and Gene Mccain, formerly with the
Highlanders, who was born on June ID,
1876. would be available.
The catchers for the Thirteen club
would be Jimmy Archer. of the Cubs,
and Mike Simon, of the Pirates. These
two athletes reached this sphere on
May IS. 1888. and April 10, 1883. re-
spectively. Johnny Killing. who says he

birthday next month. Bill Donovan,
who pitched the Tigers to two pennants,

Colorado Railroads Tell Senate They

railroads, the railroad committee OIL
the state senate was told at a recent
meeting at which opposition to Rep
resentative Sweets lower passenger
rates bill was voiced by representa-
tives of three Colorado railroads.
Not only would the prosperity of
railroads be greatly reduced if and
3-cent fares provided in Sweets bill
go into effect, contended the railroad
officers, but the effect would be, TO
shut off further railroad development
in the state.
Robert S. Rub1e of the Union Pa
cific, Chester H. Speers of the Colo
RADIO Midland and Frank A. Wadleigh
of the Rio Grande were the principal
speakers against the passage of the
Sweet bill.
Mr.. Wadleigh declared the passenger
traffic of his road is operated at a
very small margin of profit in some
instances, at cost in others and at a
loss in many instances. A reduction
of 1 cent a mile, he declared, would
have cut off 100000 from the gross
earnings of his road last year, cutting
deep into the net profits.

Ruble ARE responsible for the pres

their investment of capital, much OF

Representative Sweet argued that
with the discontinuance of railroad
passes the revenue of various roads in
the state will increase to such an eX-
tent that they can afford to reduce
their passenger fares. This was de-
MED by the railroad officers, who de-
clared paid traffic is no greater now
than before the abolition of free trans
portation. Senator Tobin interposed a
suggestion that since the abolition he
had paid his fare for the first time in
13 years and then only because he had
