Now Are the Days
Children Need Care
Summer Heat Dangerous TO Little
Ones Whose Bowels Are

A mother cannot do better for her
children than to teach them from
their earliest days regularity of the
bowels. Regularity can be promoted
without the child knowing it by
watching its food and so varying the
food that all the elements of diges-
tion are used when nature will do
the rest. The future health OF the
child depends upon this.
But try as you will there are times
when the little one will become con-
stipated and bilious. In hot weather
immediate attention is necessary, as
many serious diseases result from
stuffed-up bowels. Don't give salts or
cathartics or purgatiyes, as they are
too harsh, but give gentle, pleasant
tasting bowel stimulant like Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been used
by the children of this as well as a
former generation, and thousands Of
families are proud to speak well of
it, among whom we can mention Mrs.
Louise Reynolds, 909 Jackson St,
Lynchburg, Va, who is glad to rec
ommend it, and Mr.. Chas. w. Allen,
Manor, Texas, who writes that he
often felt 100 years old, but feels
younger now than his years.

Day in Ada.
This morning Hon. Sidney Suggs,
veteran newspaper man of Ardmore,
and for the past four or five years
state commissioner of highways
from which he derives his title of
highwayman-blew into the city to
talk good roads and incidentally to
see after some delinquent taxes on
autos.
Although his dimensions are not as
meager as those of some men we
know, every inch of him seems full
and crowded with enthusiasm for
good roads. He urges an active and
compact organization OF Pontotoc
county, and as preliminary looked
over the map of the county roads pre-
pared by G. A. Truitt, County sur
veyor. Mr.. Suggs declared that il
was the best of the kind he had
found anywhere.
According to a newspaper man al

eral unsuccessful attempts had been
made by the legislature to abolish his
office, the usual morning greeting
among the Legislators become: 'Have
you abolished Sidney again?" How
ever he has not yet been abolished

SENATOR OWEN DENOUNCES RULE
THAT HALTS VOICE Of PEOPLE

Washington, June 21.-DeclarinS
the present rule granting unlimited
debate in the senate encourages leg
islative blackmail, prohibits majority
rule, and that the time has come
when congress should be directly re-
sponsive to the will of the people,
Senator Owen today in an interview
discussed reasons why his resolution,
designed to end for all time objec-
tionable filibusters should be passed
by congress.
Senator Owen IS fighting every
inch for the adoption of his resolution
and as time pases he is gaining much
support in the senate for the reason
that the dignified statesmen of the
upper house are beginning to realize
thoroughly that oftentimes legislation
greatly needed by the nation is held
up owing to the caprices or preju-
dices of one or two men.
In discussing his plan Senator Owen
said today:

gress should be directly responsive to
the will of the majority of 90,0OO,OOO
