Woman S Beauty is
Based on Health
To Have Health. Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NeceSSary-HOW Best
to Obtain it

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be q
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health
In the majority of cases the basis of
health and the cause of sickness. can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough But whatever the particular
cause may be 1t is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women. and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker
1041 West Monroe ST., Chicago, testi-
fies that she is "cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of a doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands Of mothers give it TO babies and
children. 1t is also admirably suited
to the requirements of elderly people
in fact to all who by reason Of age or
infirmtty cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics. pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best
their effect is only for that day, while

the solemn, it has an ancient ancestry.
Its origin is obscure, but somewhere
from the far-of times when those old
Romans felt the Tilt OF the vernal equi-

ingly, comes this rollick which still
trills forth its merry ditty in our
streets. Deeper still. the calm, con
templative Hindu, for some reason or

probably from France, whence all
things vivacious come, that Europe got
the unruly itch for turning this day

EDUCATION NOTES

The greatest waste in education Is
not bad teaching" said speaker at
the recent meeting of school superin-
tendents, but teaching things the goth
century does not need"
High school enrolment in South Car
DINA has risen from 4,S12 to 5000 i'm
the past six years. and the amount paid
for salaries of high school teachers has
more than doubled in the same period.
Cincinnati has tried compulsory vo-
cational training and is we'll satisfied
with the result. The boys and girls
did not like 1t at first. apparently be-
cause of the compulsory feature, but
The school authorities have had the
hearty cooperation of the manufac-
turers in the work.
Id, was recently recognized on the
basis of careful survey OF the city's
needs made by committee of edu-
cational experts. So well satisfied were
the people of the city that a number of
them came to Superintendent Meek and
offered him 100 to 800 acres of land
and 100000 If he would go further
and develop the local high school into
an Industrial city college.
Mississippi has built q county agri-
cultural high schools in the past two
years at an average cost of 100000 per
school. These schools furnish board
and dormitory facilities for $3.50 per
month, and the boys and girls are paid
a certain amount per hour for the work
they do, so that in most cases the ex-
pense to the pupil is reduced to about
SO per month.

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition Of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered Around Humble House
hold Implement.

During the reign of James L.. the
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt but it remained for Samuel
Wright of Massachusetts to patent
in 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
it was regarded as charm against,
and also as an implement OF witch
craft. Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served We're considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil Influences In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet priest on leaving
house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and in Iceland il man is
suspected of walking after death,
pins and needles are thrust into the
feet of the corpse.
Readers of romance will remember
how people were believed to be be-
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
gies of them. Even today in the back
country Il favorite charm" to make
the cream churn into butter is the
dropping of hot pins into it.
