Growing Children

Glue a Mild Laxative OccG-
sionally to Insure Regular
Bowel Action

As a child grows older 1t requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
lions Of the bowels are of the utmost
importance to health great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect Of GER
tain foods A food win constipate
one and not another. and so we have
a healthy food like eggs causing plI-
iousness to thousands, and a whole
some fruit like bananas constipating
many. II is also to be considered
that the child is growing, and great
changes are taking place In the
Young man or young woman The
system has not yet settled itself 10

4 very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often OF

equally effective in the most robust

tendency to constipation give a small
dose of Syrup Pepsin at night on re-

the stomach and bowels, but its tonic

Gas Well Found i'm River

Junction City, Kans.. November s-(spe-
.cial.)-Th first gas well in this section
OF Kansas was discovered a few days ago
by three boys, Oscar and Edward Brazil
and jay Marshall all of this city, who
were in fishing camp on the Smoky
Hill river. Attracted by peculiar bub-
b1es that escaped from the water they
investigated, and Jay Marshall. who had
spent some time around the gas fields in
southern Kansas, had reason to believe
that the bubbles were escaping gas After
many attempts they succeeded In lighting
them. and, coming to town, told r. L.
Fegan, a local business man, who en-
couraged their plans to sink a well and
furnished them with supplies. With rude
equipment they constructed a crude cof-
ferdam, but as they did not keep out tho
water OF the river, they sank a four
inch pipe. first in six feet of water and
then through four feet Of underlying sand.
pocket OF gas was struck and on ap-
plying match to the top IL blaze shot up
several feet in height
BY night the boys obtained blaze that
burned steadily for three hours before
the well was capped. a second pipe was
sunk six feet away and a flame six feet
in height was developed. Samples of the
gas have been sent to the state agricul-
tural college for analysis and all lands
within several miles of the well have been
leased by several men, including j. r.
Kregare and Vernon and Archie Andrews.
who own the farms on both sides of the
river where the discovery was made. Ex-
perts will be on the field and plans arc
already being made for the sinking OF
wells close to the river
Old residents are now telling of the Pc
euliar gas bubbles that were observed
ON the river as long ago as lS years The
river now is exceptionally low, and in
vestigations show that these bubbles are
coming up at so different places along
the river within several miles of the
wells, indicating that the field is extensive
and not one small pocket.

or perhaps less. and he would be earn
ing thousands of dollars a week.
He went to his native town and played
in public Those who heard him were
enraptured. Everything that had been
predicted seemed about to come true. All
he needed was to be launched.
In due season he Opened negotiations
with manager, whom he intended to
give the honor of introducing him to the
public. The manager had had experience,
he had lost lot of money handling
young artists. He viewed his affairs from
a business standpoint. He would be
glad to take UP Mr.. Rich and give
series OF concerts in New York, Chicago,
Boston, Pittsburg. ST. Louis and else
where but it, would be at the risk and
expense of the artist. He went Into de-
tails. There would be thousands of
dollars for the rent OF halls, for the
services Of other artists to appear with
the young violinist, for advertising, and
for a multitude of other things. And
there would be other thousands of dol
lars for the manager. His time was
worth money-a great deal Of money.
His reply shocked Mr.. Rich. He COM
sidered the manager sordid, wretched
creature. who seemed to have no ap-
probation of what a genius Louis Rich
was and what his appearance meant to
the public. The young violinist deter
mined to have nothing to do with such
q commercial prison.
He wrote to other managers Strange
TO saw they had the same ideas as the
first one. They wanted money They
would take no risks. It was all very
well for Mr.. Rich to think the world
would be at his feet. and that the people
would storm theaters and concert halls
to hear him play. They told him IL his
ideas wers correct he would lose nothing
by paying the exnense himself. They
had no desire to do so.
The young man hewailed to lack. Of
appreciation the managers displayed He
waited, while hoping that some of them
would awaken to a realization Of their
error but he waited in vain, He did
not have any monev. He endeavored to
interest some men who had money. They
were STRANGELY apathetic. Then he be-
came morose. He looked and he dressed

something like 300. Brighton Is incor-
porated with a full municipal form of
government, schools churches, play
houses, dwellings. street cars, and even

How fortunate for Brighton that its
birthplace was on lands near the great
Woodward Iron company's plant-a most
productive field for urban growth and inn
portance. TO the west the coal mines of
Doomite, the immense by-product plant,
and three high iron blast furnaces. east

pany, with its strong operating force.
Upon the labor and good graees OF
the thousands of sturdy working men
who constitute the forces employed by
the Woodward Iron company in these
great works, Brighton lives and moves
and has it's being.
The flourishing private stores in and
around Brighton present evidence sufh-
cient that no rule of eompulsion as to
where trading shall be done Is applied
to employees. The commissary is simply
n necessary convenience and its price
lists stand in competition with the out
side stores. That these stores are sus-
tanned by the payrols of the Woodward
company meets no objection on the part
of the management.

theatre was the one thing that saved
him from becoming a cynic, He exercised
great care in the arrangement of his pro-
gramme Gradually he lifted the tone OF
the musical selections. Gradually he
trained his men to better work. Within
six months people In the city began 10
talk about the excellence of that or
chestra. Then the proprietor of another
theatre went to him and asked if he
would take the leadership Of that orches-
ira. There was more money in it, but
Rich refused. Next the proprietor asked
him to select a leader for him. Rich did
So That opened his eyes to an entirely
new field. Rich took up the work and
was paid for it,. There was such an I'm
provement in that orchestra that it was
distinctly noticeable. 1t was not long be-
fore owners Of other theatres were re-
luctant to engage musicians unless they
met with the approval of Louis Rich
Within few years various theatre own
ers contracted with him to furnish the
orchetsras for' their play houses and to
supervise their programmes. They found
that 1t was good business. They got a
better class of musicians. They discov-
cred, too, that while Mr.. Rich improved
the programme he didn't make the mis-
take of oyerburdening it with classical
music, but struck balance that had an
appeal to all the public.
Meanwhile. his nightly violin solo had
been growing more and more In favor.
1t was advertised on the programme as
an attraction in itself. People got to
talk more and more of him as an artist
Scores of persons went to the theatre
only to hear him play. Mr.. Rich was
making money. He was not making as
much in a month as he had expected to
make in night, but he was fairly con-
te.t He was thinking less of art and
more of business, About this time he
ceased wearing his hair long II did not
affect his playing.
Temptation came to him one day from
source he meyer expected. The owner
of an amusement place of large capacity
offered 5000 year to him If he would
appear in his hall each night and play
three times on the violin. The offer was
sugar coated. The man told Louis hs
was great artist and this would be only
stepping stone to a career on the con-
cert stage which would make him ia
nous Rich thought the matter over for
a while and then declined. He wasn't
max ng 5000 year at the time and his
refusal was not based on personal
grounds, but because he thought he could
do more good in the line which he was
following than in the way that might be
opened to him And strange as 1t may
seem, he was right. not only from the
standpoint or art, but from the standpoint
of business.
