period the wheat yield Of Germany rose

Growing Children

Give a Mild Laxative Occas-

Bowel Action

AS child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention from
the mother. and as the functions OF the
bowels are of the utmost Importance to
health great attention should be paid
to them.
Diet is of great Importance. and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods A food will constipate one
and not another. and SO we have
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and q wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t is also TO be considered that the
child is growing. and great changes
are taking place In the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to it's later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this stage.
and one which every growing boy and
girl should he given often or occasion
ally according to the individual cir
cumstances. is Dr., Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This is a laxative and tonic
combined so mild that 1t is given to
little babies, and yet equally effective
in the most robust constitution. At the
first sign of tendency to constipation
give small dose Of Syrup Pepsin at
night on retiring. and prompt action

conditions and animal husbandry and
allied branches Of agriculture of Il
number of Marshall county farms some
time in June. One entire day is to he
devoted to the trip. Similar investiga-
lions into farm conditions In other
counties are to be made by the party,
which will be busy with this work for
several weeks.
One expert from each Of the import
ant departments. such as animal nus
bandry, field crops. soils, etc., Is 10
make up the party Of five that will be
sent by the agricultural college on this
trip of investigation. NJ. A. Hauser, OF
Albion, will be one of the party.

The purpose of the trip Is a double
one. The aim of the college is to carry
the work Of its experts to not only the
farms visited, but also to all farmers
who want 20 join in the trip for the
day and get the benefit Of the experts
advice. Also the investigators are ex-
pected to bring back to the college
much valuable information regarding
agricultural conditions.
In order to make the trip in each
county as thorough as possible, only
few farms will be visited. A few OF the
best and a Few of the poorest will De
included in the lists. which are to De
selected in advance. and all arrange
ments for the visit made beforehand.
This will be done to facilitate the work.
While on the trips 1t is expected that
the experts will be able to tell those
who accom- pany them, and the owners
of the farms. why the good farms are
good and why the poor ones are poor.
The trip will take in counties in south
ern, western. central and northern
Iowa.
A similar trip, but one that was no.
so carefully or thoroughly planned,
was made three years ago by Prof. F.
G. Holden and Professor Bowman. who
were then with Iowa State College.
