This Should Keep
The Baby Healthy
When 1t is In Don't Become
Alarmed But Glue This
Fine Laxative

1t is often difficult to tell just what
is the matter with crying, peevish
baby or child too young to express it's
feelings in words, but as a general
rule the mother will find that there
is tendency to constipation, which
has brought on a headache or nery-
BUSINESS. The little one has no pain.
but feels 'out of sorts"
The first thing to try is a family
remedy containing good but mild
laxative properties. and many moth
ers will say that their choice would
be DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Thousands of mothers keep it in the
house for such emergencies, among
whom may be mentioned Mrs. Jennie
Manuel, Altamont, ILL.,, who began to
give her baby, Frederick, Syrup Pep
sin when he was months old, and
has used 1t ever since with gratifying
results. She writes that Frederick
was not growing well and threw UP
his food, but after a few days use of
Syrup Pepsin he was able to retain
his food and gained rapidly in weight.
Thousands of others are glad to say
that Syrup Pepsin saved them many
an illness and many a large doctor
bill, for by administering it promptly,
when the first symptoms of illness
were noticed, they prevented a seri-
Gus ailment.
1t is so pleasant tasting that no
child will refuse it, and as it does not
grippe, the child Is glad to take it
again. A bottle can be obtained of
any druggist for fifty cents or one
dollar, the latter being the size
bought by families already familiar
with its merits. Results are always

Forest Notes.

Two million trees will be plant
ed on the national forests in Utah,
Nevada and southern Idaho during
1914.
Makers of small hic kory
handles for hammers, chisels and
the like are now trying to use the
waste from mills which make
hickory spokes and pick and ak
handles.
There is much waste in getting
out the fawless white oak necessary
for tight barrel slaves. The forest
service is trying to get manu-
facturers of parquetry flooring to
use some of his waste.
The United States Consul at
Aberdeen, Scotland, thinks that
American manufacturers may have
chance to compete in furnishing
slaves for fish barrels. There has
been a recent rise in the price OF
spruce and fir slaves from Sweden
and Scotland.

HOW TO TELL A GOOD ROAD FROM A
BAD ROAD.
To the Children: In getting facts
to write your essays for the prize
contest on the repair and mainte-
nance of earth roads, use your eyes.
Look at bad piece of road and a
good piece of road when both are
dry. Study, particularly, the ruts
and holes and uneven places in the
road to see whether they make it
easier or harder for the wheels of a
loaded wagon to 90 along. Study
the kind of footing that the two
roads give to the horses.
Now, study the same stretches
of road after a good rain-storm.
You will see that one road holds
small puddles, or pools, of water
Tat keep the road soft and SO al.

the wagons and the hoofs of the
