Watch Your Baby
These Summer Days
LITTLE STONIACHS GET OUT OF
ORDER EASILY IN HOT
WEATHER,

During the not months mothers
should look very carefully to the con-
dition Of the bowels OF babies and
young children, and, for that matter,
it is very important in the lives of
people at all ages. Care should be
taken that the water is pure, the
milk wholesome and the fruit ripe
(though not over-ripel, and that not
too much Of anything is eaten.
When trouble results 1t is usually
in the form of constipation or of
diarrhoea. II the child loses appe-
tite, is fretful or languid, and COM
plains of headache, you may look for
constipation. Give it small dose of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at night
on retiring, and by morning this
pleasant laxative will have acted and
the child will be it's normal self
again.
At the first sign Of a summer cold
also give Syrup Pepsin, as the cleans
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-
ons and germs that cause the trouble.
This opinion of the value OF Syrup
Pepsin Is shared by thousands OF
people like Mrs. Ella Denzel, 124

Vetch % Great Money Crop.
est. Matthews Cor. News and

Courier
William Holman. Of the CreSton
section, and the most enthusiastic
and successful vetch farmer in the
county, thinks the News and Courier
correspondent did his favorite plant
an injustice in the report in Satur-
days issue. He claims that farmers
who know nothing about vetch and
care less are responsible for these
rumors, that the pest Is the old army
worm, which occasionally turns up,
whether yetch Is in a thousand miles
or not.
Mr.. Holman says he made two
tons of vetch to the acre and bigger
profit than on any other crop he ever
planted He believes that vetch will
be here long after it's defamers have
been forgotten and that the scales
should fall from the eyes Of the cot
tontots, as they have from him, IL
they ever wish to lift their noses
from the grindstone.
Mr.. Holman raises his own mules,
horses, hogs and cattle; nor does he
ask any points from the West and
Northwest about corn, oats, hay and
other produce. He is a typical ex-
ample of the farmer who lives and
boards in his own homo and bends
no knee to any cotton king.
