Teach Your Child
How to Be Healthy
REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENT
FROM INFANCY INSURES
GOOD HEALTH IN LA
TER YEARS.

We cannot all start life with the
advantages Of money, but every child
born is en- tiled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing OF a baby its 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 1T 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
Bertha Lee Woodward, years old.
Of Moultrie, Ga, the proper remedy
is DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. Mrs.
|. n. woodward says that little Ber-
tha was troubled with constipation
for over year, and that after trying
several different kinds Of remedies
she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin.
1t is mild, pleasant-tasting laxative,
which every person likes, does not
grippe nor cramp, and contains that
most excellent of all digeStants, pep
sin.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is es-
pecially intended for infants, chill
dren, women, old people and all 9TH
ers to whom harsh cathartics, salt
waters, pills, etc, are distressing. In

10 the Public.
Fellow citizens, these contests not
only help the producer, but are Of
benefit to the non-producer, the
banker, merchant, doctor, lawyer,
manufacturer and operative, all of
whom are non-producers, but have to
be fed; and what helps one class
helps all, and when we prove to the
world what our soil will do by pro-
ducing a hundred fold per acre OF
these necessities of life, it will en-
hance the value Of our property and
bring good people into our county.
So let us all lend a helping hand and
make success that we will all be
proud Of.
Brother farmers, let us begin now
and make a change in our mode OF
farming. Instead Of planting a little
of our land in corn and the balance in
cotton, let us SOW one-third down,
plant One-third in corn and one
third in cotton: but it would be
better still to SOW half the land and
divide the other half equally between
corn and cotton. We would then be-
gin to put vegetation (humus) in our
soil, which is so badly needed. The
late Prof. J. S. Newman said that If
we would seed our land, and then
SOW peas on the stubble, we would
soon need no guano.
Now, let us all join the contest
FOR next year. Sow ono acre in wheat
and one in oats, after being well pre-
pared. Some OF us farmers do not
make as much as a hundred bushels
OF corn year. Let us begin this
fall to prepare our acre for corn next
year. If the land is not in stubblc,
ana 1t is possible to do so. it would
do good TO rake mp leaves and rich
dirt III The woods and broadcast it.
1t would not take long to haul it if
nearby, and it would be putting vegc-
tatiOn in the soil; then turn the land
close and deep, and if you have ma
nure, broadcast and harrow in well;
SOW bushcl OF rye, cross harrow and
You will have winter cover. Labor
spent this way will beat buying corn
on credit three times in the game.
and the good part about 1t Is the stuff
will be made at home. Then If the
crib Is not harder to blow away and
the farmer has not got a better smile
on his face, old Uncle Brave John
failed to return from the battle. and
Aunt Mollie, as good as she could he,
is left a widow. Respectfully,
T. Y. Chalmers,
Chairman Committee.

sent an electric current flashing more

Mr.. Wilson stepped forward just
as the hands Of the White House
clock touched tho hour and pressed
the button, flashing to Panama the
current which was to send tons and

the last act in uniting the waters of

said the President with smile as he

The Atlantic and Pacific oceans
were not actually united to-day when
the Gamboa dixie was destroyed and
the waters Of Gatun lake we're allow
ed to flow into Culebra cut, as lake
and cut are, at the normal surface
of the waters, IS feet above the level
OF the sea.
The destruction OF the Gamboa
dixie, however, removes the last OBJ
struction to the navigation of the
greater part Of the canal by light
draft vessels, and opens up connec-
tion between IT,. great Gatun lake,
which already is practically ready to
discharge vessels into the Atlantic
through Gatun locks and the Pacific
division. The waters OF the lake
rush through the broken dixie at
Gamboa, sweep through Culebra cut
until they reach the locks at Pedro
Miguel, which mark the beginning of
the descent from the top level Of the
canal to the Pacific.
The first craft to enter will be the
steam dredges, whose work is to clear
and open the channels.
The presence Of small craft in por-
tions OF the canal, however, does not
as yet mean ocean-to-ocean nayiga-
tion. This will first be possible when
each link in the canal has a sufficient
depth Of water and all the locks are
working.
In the intermediate stage, naviga,
tion may be effected in local lengths
OF the canal and to some degree may
be extended from length to length
along the whole waterway.
To-day's event served to demon
strate the nearness Of the canal to
the operating stage. 1t also formal
ly brought to close the work Of the
central division in the cut, for the
dredging operations which are to sue
ceed the steam shovel work will be
under different organization.
Dixie Built I'm 1908.
Gamboa dixie wes built in 1908 to
hold the Chagres river in check dur
Ing It's turbulent periods and to pre-
vent its waters from entering the
nine-mile section OF Culebra cut and
delaying the work OF tho steam
shovels.
1t was important soley from its To-
cation. Twenty-four miles to the
north. the mighty Gatun dam. which,
to the uninitiated, appears to be
nothing more than low mountain
range, stretched across the valley,
keeps the waters OF Gatun lake from
escaping to the sea. These two bar
riers, one the greatest man-made dam
in history, and the other low ridge
OF earth and rock which would ordi-
narily pass unnoticed, have kept in
check the rising water of Gatun lake.
