CONTAMINATED VEGETABLES.

AS water-supplies are more carefully
inspected and their tendency to spread
typhoid more and more lessened, the
other factors in the dissemination OF
the disease are becoming better recog-
nized. Among these one Of the most
important is the consumption of vege-
tables without cooking. AS they can
be washed only in cold water, and as
frequently they may have been ex-
posed to dust and dirt of various kinds,
they are naturally capable of becom-
ing carriers of disease under certain
circumstances. The health depart
ments of many cities now require
very properly, that such vegetables
shall not be exposed openly for sale
on the streets to be contaminated by
street dirt and to be the resting-place
OF flies. but of course it is of no avail
to safeguard them during sale if they
have been contaminated previously

Following is an extract from Mr. Wei
liver's very interesting political ar
ticle:
"They are fixing up the scarecrow |
farmer now, stuffing it with straw. |
Before long the effigy will be pushed
out to the centre of the congressional
stage, and the curtain will go up on
the scene that will show the farmer
pleading for his life. He will be beg
ging not to have the protection taken
off his wheat, oats, cotton, corn and all
the rest of the things he raises. He
will shed a bunch of well-organized
tears, provided the plumbing inside
the scarecrow doesn't get out of
whack, about the loss of his home
market.
"If I were an artist, I'd produce a
cartoon of this performance. I would
have our friend Uncle Trusty sitting in
the middle of the stage, as a ventrilo-
uuist, with a wooden manikin on his
knee lebeled The Farmer The con
versation would run somewhat thus;
"Uncle Trusty-'Now, my handy lit

Their handling before they come to

fore extremely important. In certain |
portions of the United States 1t is not |
uncommon to use sewage as 1t issues
from the sewerage systems of cities

several communities, owners Of large
vegetable gardens collect night-soil,

custom of using night-soil as fertl-

brought it with them to this country.

Surprise You.

A low state of the general health is
now the accepted cause of backward
ness in children. So in the case OF
backward child it is best to look to-
wards building up it's health. 1t will
usually be found that the main trouble
is in the food, in lack of assimilation
and digestion. Hence care should be
taken in the kind of food given to the
child. This, with plenty of air and ex-
ercise, should bring about a change for
the better.
Watch the conditions of the bowels,
to note whether the waste is being
passed off or not, or whether it is be-
ing passed too freely. If either condi-
ton prevails give a small dose of that
gentlest of all laxative-tonics, Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Thousands
of mothers will testify to the wonders
it has wrought in the lives of theil

Syrup Pepsin has no equal as a cure
for constipation, indigestion, bilious

they are seldom advisable and should
never be given to children

PRINCE STRONG
FOR MONTENEGRO
NlNE-YEAR-oLD SON OF KING OF

pion Of little Montenegro is Prince
Humbert, the nine-year-old son Of
King Victor of Italy. Prince Humbert

attitude toward Montenegro in the
Balkan war and learned with dismay
that Italy was in thorough accord with
the other powers in demanding that
the Montenegrins lift the siege of
Scutari.
A few days ago Prince Humbert was
playing war" with his sisters in the
royal nursery. The King was an
amused spectator of the game. Prince
Humbert was the Montenegro leader
and KILLED off" all the Turks-his
sisters-in the game. Turning to his
father the little Prince demanded to
be sent to Cettinje.
"Why?" asked the King.
The Prince thought for moment
and remembered that his mother and
grandfather were Montenegrins.
WELL" he replied, 81 think you
ought to be there fighting, but as you
are not, l suppose l ought to go to
grandpapa and show him that we are
on his side. Why are you not with
him?"
"You see Italy is still fighting in
Tripoli and l am required here" re-
piled the King.
But suppose you were not required

you go to Montenegro"
b King Victor hesitated and chose his

finally.
