Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENT
FROM CHILDHOOD ON FORE
STALLS FUTURE SERIOUS
DISEASES

We cannot all start life with the
advantages Of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing of baby it's tiny stomach may
become deranged. The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing it
great suffering. If the condition is
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of mild
laXative-tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the paIen g
of Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the
proper remedy is Dr.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley
writes: "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin is the best medicine | ever used.
1t cured my baby of flatulency collie
when the doctors failed; it cured my
husband of constipation. My home
shall never be without Syrup Pep
sin" 1t is a pleasant-tasting laxa-
tive, which every person likes. 1t is
mild, non-griping, and contains that
most excellent of all digestants, pep
sin.
This remedy is especially intended
for infants, children, women, old peo-
pie and all others to whom harsh
cathartics, salt waters, pills, ETC., are
distressing. In fact, in the common

realized that he must start forth and
repair his waning fortunes. So again
he took to the road and this time
alone. He cracked several small
Offices with but trifiing success, so he
made tracks for parts where he knew
he could come up with his old asso-
ciates and once more found himself
in the vicinity of Boston. Another
Wild raid through Massachusetts and
Vermont followed and before ninety
days had elapsed Mccarthy was once
more on Broadway with pockets
bulging and his recently deserted
friends fawning upon him.
Mccarthy saw in the future only
vistas of golden promises and all
seemed easy of fulfillment. But that
is another story, for Mccarthy, the
bank burglar, led the detectives
quite as merry a chase as Mccarthy
the "yegg" had done.

Ownership of lands in California
by Chinese has diminished consider
ably within the last few years, but
many Chinese land owners still are
there, and it Is with the purpose of
protecting them against loss of their
property that the Chinese govern
ment is contemplating a protest.

BARRETT TO THE FARMERS.
A Word to the Drcamcrs-If Dreams
Materializc All Right.

TO Members and Officials of the
Farmers Union:
Dreamers are all right if they ma
terialize their dreams into something
tangible.
Every great progress marked in
the worlds history was born in the
dreams OF some great thinker, who
wrought his dream into concrete
form. Dreams are but the visions of
great souls building ships and rail-
roads and skyscrapers and threshing
machines and all the things going
into the advancement of humanity.
The farmer boy following his
sweating horse in the furrow OF a
mellow upturned earth dreams and
dreams until life's horizon lifts and
broadens for him. No available sta
tistics are at hand, but very many Of
the men who mark the outposts Of
the worlds onward progress dreamed
in the furrow. Something about the
contact with mother earth, the init
mate association with her moods and
her brooding heart begets stamina,
character, stability and deep-rooted
purposefulness.
So when some foppish young city
CHAP, with tailored suit, polished
shoes and manicured nails sneers at
"'the country pumpkin" don't let it
disturb you, for your dreams made
possible his bed of ease and wrought
the city, the soft-cushioned automo-
biles and the comforts he enjoys.
Moreover, you are worth a dozen Of
him in doing life's work, for your
bent back, your wrinkled and un-
kempt clothes, your horny hands and
tanned skin result from doing the
hard, the humble, but the absolutely
necessary work to keep this old world
turning in its orbit.
But the dreamer drone who mods
in the sun and lets the world rush
by him has no place In the scheme
OF things. We have had hundreds of
that sort in the Farmers Union. He
sits down and dreams that every
thing will come to him without eff
fort on his part. Then he wakes up
and quits because. as some one has
expressed it, they amt doin' airy
thing"
Dream, but turn your dreams into
something. G. S. Barrett.

Use and Abuse of the Horse

Rochester Union: The New York
State Woman's League for Animals
has our hearty sympathy in the wori.
that it is carrying on fo- the protcc-
tion of horses from the 5rutaiities TO
which they are subjected by drivers
who have no feeling fol the poor
obey the command of those who force
them to almost impossible work. The
motor cars now extensively used for
heavy trucking work have given some
relief to the horses, but not enough.
It is still quite common to see drivers
Of horses ply the lash when their
teams are doing all in their power to
move the load to which they are at
tached. 1t is safe to trust the judg-
ment of the women on this subject.
We quote here a word or two cor
cerning the abuse of horse- which has
been issued by the society above re-
ferred to: The horse, of all ami
mails, is ambitious, and only too will
ing to exert himself to the limit and
beyond his powers in the endeavor
to please his master by performing
incredible feats of strength and speed,
and he is also a very sensitive animal
that feels keenly the humiliation of
being whipped. Far from whipping
or urging on the horse by harsh words
and cursing, to strain his muscles and
nerves to the breaking point. and
then to turn him out a premature
wreck, to die of exposure and starva-
tion, his ambition should be checked
by kind words to go slow, take his
time, rest a little. The horse will pro-
test that he can pull great deal more
or can go much faster; is it wise or
humane to abuse his willingness and
pile on more and still more and then
use whip or spur and break the
strength, spirit and ambition of that
noble animal? Never! Shame upon
the man that uses whip or goad of
any kind upon his horse!"
We can fully agree with this The
horse is the most useful and obedient
servant of man. He does his duty
well and should be treated with kind
ness and consideration. The man
who abuses his horse is not a man in
the best sense of the word.
