complete course in modern language.
On his return mother said:

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
80 emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out Of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um-
brella"
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about 1t and In each instance have had
1t proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf.
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then. like the old lady who was remind
ed OF son William. they were reminded
that 1t is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages. tea and coffee, (even more
than In Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail.
ties.
But does that stop their criticism Of
Coca Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik.
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and II it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that 1t Is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that It IL
really helpful in-whatever 1t is-this
is bound to include Coca Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all. they are graspins
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice. So you see, after
all, 1t all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair Let ~ be fair.-Adv. !

Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
Regular Bowel Movement from
Childhood on ForcsfdN.s Future
Serious Diseases

We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage OF
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of a baby it's tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs 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 a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion Of a
great many people. among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia. Ark, the
proper remedy is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I ever used. It cured my
baby Of f%latulency collie when the doc
tors failed; 1t cured my husband Of
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." 1t is a
pleasant-tasting laxative. which every
person likes. It is mild, non-griping.
and contains that most excellent Of all
d~igestants, pepsin.
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
disorders Of life. such as constipation,

Montpelier Vt. March 1.-The ac-
ceptanee or rejection of eight pro-
