CONEY ISLAND
AGAIN OPENED
BIGGEST PLAY
GROUND IN FULL SWING
official Opening Brings Thousands of
Men, Women and Children to See
the Standardization This Year
Are Bigger and Better Than Ever
Before
(By Charlton Ten Eyck)

New York, May 20.-Perennial Co.
ney Island, Americas biggest play
ground, always old yet always new,
is open" again. Nobody knows just
what Coney Island does when it opens,
because nobody ever yet discovered it
closed, but the other day they had
their official opening anyway, Like
the vernal equinox and the summer
soltice, one must tell Coneys open
ing by the almanac, not by the eye or
ear. Weeks before the formal date
thousands of men, women and chill
dren throng Surf Avenue and the
Bowery every Sunday afternoon, and
for weeks after the sound of the
hammer is heard in the land, COM
pleting belated attractions.
Coney Island is a psychological
chameleon. Ss-h-h-h! Those are in
! deed harsh looking words and they
sound formidable, but they are in
tended to be complimentary Coney
would surely deny that it is any such
outlandish thing and Fred Thompson
would try to put the phrase in a Luna
Park sideshow if he caught sight Of
lit, but nevertheless and notwithstand-
/ ing, that is Coney's chief character
/ istic
/ The Islands chameleon quality lies
/ in its ability to match your mood-to
/ be just what you think it is. Coney
is just as young or just as old as the
visitor feels. If you go there jaded
and cynical and with critical eye, surf
avenue will be cheap and twadry and
badly in need of paint, while all you
viii see will be a mob of impossible
people whose contact and raucus
! laughter will irritate you beyond mea-
ure. The silly barkers in front of the
attractions will appeal to you as
about the worst near-comedians you
ever saw. Roller Coaster picture
shows, photo galleries, cane racks and
other catch penny places viii be the
same you saw last year and the year
before and two years ago. You'll
wonder why you went to such a
cheap, silly place as Coney.
But the next time, what a change.
Coney has changed? No, but you
have. You feel fresh and enthusiast
ic, and the old island meets you halt
way such a delightful crowd. You
didn't know there were so many fresh
clean faces and bright laughing eyes
in all New York. And everything is
funny. The ballyhOos whom you
thought near comedians before are
silvery tongued orators. They could
talk the birds right out of the trees
You know your weight to an ounce
but can't resist the little fellow who
wants to weight you for a penny. The
roller coaster is the most exhileratins
ride you ever had and everything i:
new and freshly painted
Does Coney Island alter over night
Certainly not It is just clever, meet
ing its devotees half way, giving them
Just what they are looking for. Coney
this year is bigger and better thar
ever" Surely it is 1t was last year
1t was ten years ago and it will be
next year.

FOODS THAT BIND
LITTLE CHILDREN
Start Them Off Right With Good
Laxative and Then Watch Their
Diet

Start Them Off Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch Their
Diet.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
childfen, forcing all to eat the same
foods The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it in
digestion and urge it to take more of
what is quickly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. By this is not meant a physic
or purgative for these should never
be given to children, nor anything
like salts, pills, etc. What the child
requires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which in the
opinion of thousands of watchful
mothers is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to constipa-
ton. So many things can happen to
a constipated child that care is ne
cessary. Colds, piles, headaches
sleeplessness, and many other annoy
ances that children should not have
can usually be traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost fam
lilies are never without Syrup Pep
sin, because one can never tell when
some member of the family may need
it, and all can use 1t. Thousands en-
dorse it, among them Mrs. NJ. E.

airy inquiry, Mr.. Burns, president of
the Local Government Board, furnish
es figures which show, thanks to the
unintelligent agitation of the anti-yac-

persons exempted from vaccination on
account of conscientious objections as
compared with the total number of
births from 1907 to 1912 increased
from 6.3 per cent in the former year |
to 17.3 per cent in 1908, and thence
rapidly to GIG per cent in 1912. The
tolerance of a privilege which permits |

ton, and will merely result in a large
measure in return to the horrible
smallpox conditions of former days in
Great Britain. The prevalence of
smallpox in the United. States during
the past year is no doubt due to the
absense of strict regulation in regard
tc vaccination, the lax enforcement
of regulations already provided or the
total ignoring of these regulations.
The matter of vaccination should no.

tons OF an individual, but should be

Norway's Sick Insurance Law.

Norway has a sick insurance law
which embraces all wage earners and
public servants over fifteen years Of
age whose yearly earnings do not ex-
coed $500 il in the rural districts or
1915 in the cities. The law also pro.
vides that the employer shall pay a
certain percentage t0ne-sixth, of the
premium. while he is held responsible
for the whole. but may deduct from
the wages Of the insured at the end OF
the term for which the premium is
paid the amount thus advanced. The.
~oretically it is self insurance on the
co%ntributive plan. while actually 1t
amounts to an extra tax upon the en-
lloyer. as most employees %stipulate
when engaging their services that the
insurance premium shall be paid In
addition to the wages.

CONSCIENCE AND VACCINATION.

To any one to whom figures mean

the absolutely %undoubted results Of
experience, vaccination as a prevent

If the good of the whole people is to
be regarded as . principle of disease
prevention as it is in other matters of
government, then vaccination should
be universally compulsory. That it
is not so is a reflection on the good
