What So Precious
As a Healthy Baby?
Every Yonngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion If GfUen a Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite Of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come c~onstipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, We must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This. can be
done by the use Of a l~axatiye-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy ID called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who r al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes 1t the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and its frequent
S does not cause it to lose its eff
feet, as is the case with SO many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious

Drills

A few years of school dental clinics
have made toothbrush drills a daily
familiar idea in many cities. 1t took
the Toronto public nurses, or rather
their supervisor, Lima L. Rogers, to
originate another drill quite as unique
and important. Since last October the
school children of Toronto, in squads
of 20, have practiced daily nose
blowing drills, and the effect on the
freshness of the atmosphere of the
school rooms has been SO noticeable
that the teachers have become assid-
uous in seeing to it that no child comes
to school unprovided with a pocket
handkerchief. They often, indeed,
themselves, order the drills without
waiting for the coming of the nurse.
The effect Of the drill is ~perceptible
already on individual children, in
cases Of catarrh, and the doctors pre-
dict that it will have an appreciate
effect in time in lessening adenoids
and other throat and nose affections.

FEEDING FOR MILK
BY C.. n. Eckles, Professor of Dairy
Husbandry, University
Of Missouri.

The period of winter feeding in
Missouri is shorter than in most Of
the dairy states. By pasturing wheat
and having blue grass pasture which
has not been eaten down, to turn into
late in the fall, the pasturing season
can be greatly prolonged. The great
problem in winter feeding is, in gen.
eral, to maintain summer conditions.
1t is entirely feasible to maintain
practically these summer conditions
throughout the entire winter on any
farm when the subject is properly
understood and the necessary ar
rangements made.
The first condition typical Of the

she drinks, smokes and swears.
tSwearing is commonplace. Nearly

nothing about swearing at people"
Mrs. Keefer declared, however, that
she did not swear at her husband ex-

HE set the fashion," she said.
AS to drinking, Mrs. Keefer declared
that she had always had wine on her
table. but was never intoxicated ex-

cocktails (which we're doped." She
