During the hot months mothers
shsula look very carefully to the con-

taken that the water is pure the milk

not over-ripe), and that not too much
of anything is eaten.
When trouble results, it is usually
in the form of constipation or of
diarrhoea. If the child loses appetite,
is fretful or languid, and complains
of headache, you may look for con-
stipation. Give it small dose of DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin at night on
retiring, and by morning this pleasant
laxative will have acted and the child
will be its normal self again.
At the first sign of summer cold
also give Syrup Pepsin, as the clean
ing out of the bowels will usually be
sufficient to break the cold. Summer
diarrhoea can be stopped in the same
way by Kidding the bowels Of the pois-

WOMAN's BEAUTY AGE.
(London Tit Bits.)

Oondon Tit Bits.)
"At what age is a woman most beau
tiful?" has been the subject of some
what spirited discussion in Partisan art
circles. M. Ferdinand Humbert, the
head of the School of Fine Arts, owns
to two ideals. AS an artist his favorite
feminine type is between the ages of
IS and 25-the time of radiant youth.
AS a mere man, he considers that wo-
men of from % to 50 years old are
the most fascinating and charming.
The veteran painter, Harpignies, is
not so generous, for he sets the time
of beauty at from 16 to 20 years-the
ages of youthful simplicity unmarried
| by the cares and anxieties which years
bring in their train. NJ Gabriel Fer
rel, on the other hand, accords to
beauty a lengthy reign. He considers
the age of 25 to So for she has become
mistress of the art of how to make the
best of herself with the help of skilled
dressmakers and modestes.
M. Barthalome, the famous sculptor
of the beautiful Parthenon statues, sets
the time of beauty at between Is and
25, but with the reservation that there
is no true beauty without goodness
and that beauty of face and form with
out beauty of soul has no appeal tC
him.
Jean Boucher, another famous sculp
tor, says that woman is at her best be
tween the ages of 16 and 80, though
from youth to old age she is adorable
What would appear to be the most com
forting opinion of all. however, from
the point of view of the fair sex, il
that expressed by the famous portal
painter, Francois Flameing. "A wo
mans greatest beauty may dawn a
any time between the ages of 10 ant
80" he says. Let every one form hi
own opinion, according to individual
taste, as to which of these years ;
woman is at her best"

ANIMAL AND FLOWER RESERVE
Kangaroo Island for Preservation
Of Australian Species Of
Wild Life,

Kangaroo island, which is situated
some six hours steaming from Ade-
laide, the capital of South Australia, is
regarded as an ideal place in which
to preserve permanently animal and
botanical species distinctive of the
Australian content. At present It's
square miles on the island are utilized
as a fauna and flora reserve and it is
now suggested that the area should be
considerably increased. Certain islands
in various lakes have been set apart
as bird sanctuaries, close seasons for
different kinds of birds are proclaimed
and in various other ways efforts are
made to prevent the destruction of the
native fauna and flora.
Recently the attention of the South
Australian commission of crown lands
was drawn to the disturbances of pro-
tecting the opossum, which he had as
certa:aed is now being destroyed in
large numbers for the sake of it's skin,
for which there is a great market.
TO prevent the wholesale destruc-
ton of the marsupial and also to give
power to the state government to pro-
tect other native animals from time to
time as occasion may require, the COM
mission has directed that bill shall
be prepared for introduction into par
lament at an early date to provide for
the protection of wild animals.-Lon.

QUEER WHIMS FOR FUNERALS
EngIshman's Coffin Made Of 1000
atchboxes-Unusual Burial
at Sea.

An enormous crowd gathered at
Chester few months ago to witness
the funeral of All electrical engineer,
who was carried to the cemetery in
a coffin that had been laboriously con-
structed by himself out of 1000 match
boxes. These, with their tops visible
and advertising their respective max
ers, were vanished over and strength
ened inside with wood. On the coffin
was placed an electric battery, says
London Tit-Bits.
Some years-ag maiden lady died
at Calemis-sur-Lys, in France, who
was reported to have been a cham.

larly good health, retained all her
mental faculties and died at a ripe
old age. Her funeral was most ex-
traordinary. Her wish was that her
coffin should be filled with tobacco,
the floor of the mortuary chamber
carpeted with it and the heir to the
property charged to scatter tobacco
before the hearse on the way to the
cemetery.

STRICT ENGLISH COURT RULE
Queen, Shocked at Laxity In Society,
Makes Erasures in Her Viz

Queen Mary is making her influ-
ence and her strong personality felt at

those who wish to be received and to
be held in good repute within it's
charmed circle must look we'll to their

Never before have there been so
many erasures from submitted lists
and never has the line been so sharp
ly drawn as to the proper qualifica-
tons as at the present time, the New

states. No lady who steps out of her

IS Coolest INHABITED Town
verkhoyansk, Siberia, Has Maximum
Winter Temperature IS Degrees
Below Zero.

Verkhoyansk, good-sized city In
northeastern Siberia, boasts the dis
tinction of being the coolest inhabited
city on the globe. II is in north altitude
81 degrees on the arctic plane, and
scarcely more than $50 feet above the
sea level.
Its annual temperature Is three
above zero, and in winter the maxi
mum is IS below zero. The Russian
government owns the town, and it in
terested in having an administrative
center where clever and Industrious
Yokuts, fur-trading Jews of Siberia,
carry on their operations. All the in
habitants of Verkhoyansk, with the
exception of a few officials and Rus
sian traders, are Y0kuts.
The Yokuts are such ambitious and
aggressive people that they do not
seem to mind the fact that the rivers
freeze to the bottom and that small
trees have been known to snap and
split from the biting force of the cold.
Still many Russians even seem to
prefer it to warmer posts. Its atmos-
phere is always clear and the air still,
and there are no billiards. or snow
storms. Then the Siberian dress adds
considerably to the enjoyment of the
arctic city. It consists of two suits of
fur, an outer and an inner, and a huge
hood to pull over the face so that there
is just enough space to see and breathe
through.
The summer Is hotter than might be
reasonably expected the average tenn
perature being SO above zero in July.
