What is WOn7an'S
 Beauty buf Healfh
And the Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies in the Careful
 Regulation of the Bowels.

If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be picture of loviness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis or 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 it Is important that the condition should be corrected.
 An ideal remedy for women, and one especially suited to their delicate re- Quirements, is Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin. which thousands of women en- dorse highly, among them, Mrs. c. s. Vance, of 511 s. Ray St., New Castle. Pa At times she had spells of indiges- ton so severe that she thought she would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels. and she attributes her excellent health today to this rem edy.
 All the family can use Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. for thousands of mothers give 1t to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the require ments of elderly people. in fact to all who by reason of age or infirmity can not stand harsh salts cathartics, pills or pursatives. These should always be avoided, for at best their effect is only

THE VERA CRUZ. DEAD.

The honors which were paid to marines and sailors who lost their lives at Vera Cruz was only. such a tribute as their acts and sacrifices de- served from the nation. Sad and im- pressive were the exercises as car ried out, but sadder still is the thought that such 8 taking of life was neces- sary even though their training and employment was for just such g pur- pose when occasion should require.
 Most proper and fitting was it that the head of the nation should express the admiration and sorrow of the country as thousands in the gathered assembly along the entire line Of march did, and as millions have done and are still doing throughout the land. It is all a magnificent though solemn lesson in patriotism. It was in response to their country.s call that they went to the defense of its flag and honor and supported it with their lives. but it is to the everlasting credit of President Wilson that warlike steps were delayed as long as they were and that today there are but sev- enteen heroic dead in the taking e thousands for whom the country might be mourning today had other counsel prevailed
 Mondays exercises all represented the cost of war, the cost which can never be reckoned in dollars and cents but which should be avoided whenever and wherever 1t can be done without loss of national honor end respect. Such honors the country has for each and all who fall in battle, but may It be that Mexican conditions will be adjusted without further recourse to arms.

BECKER AND THE FUTURE.

Because if involves a great system 0f crime and graft within the very cir clo o& authority which has been es- tabfnhed to overcome it and maintain law and order in the city of New York, the second trial of Lieut.. Beck CT for the part which he is alleged to have played in the Rosenthal murder holds the attention of the country. Though the story has not been forgot ten, it gains added interest through the ordering of new trial for the accused after he had been found guilty and sentenced to death. It means a repetition of testimony and a stren- u0us light on both sides but how much stronger the story can be put from either standpoint remains to be seen, yet some idea of it is to be gained by the methods which have been used in the preparation of the case.
 Much more than a life hangs in the balance for If 1t is true that eorrup- ton has undermined the police depart ment-the trusted employees of the city including the officials thereof. the time Is ripe for a beneficial and whole sale huuSecleaning. If 1t is an officer. Of the law who has been the leader of the g1inmen. even though invisible, and who did not hesitate to- secure the commission of murder in order to cover up his underhanded system the prop CT punishment should be imposed. In no other way can reform be establish ed or seriously undertaken. A con- spiracy between constituted authority and the underworld Is never discour- aged through failure to enforce the law against all alike. or through the freeing of the leaders and the punish ment of the htrelings

HuERrA TIE REAL QUESTION.

That the president has selected two well informed and competent men to represent the country before the me- dfAtion board will be generally ac- know1edged but even they as well as those who look on from distance must recognize the uphill task which they face, and the equally stupendous Job which aes before the mediators. .
 The Mexican envoys whether they have been given full power by Huerta or not indicate in advance that it is the Tampico incident and the Tam pfco incident alone which will be con- sfdered. It is the international incl dent with which they are concerned and the internal conflict will be left severely alone if their unofficial state ment is to be relied upon. This, how ever. Was the situatien which was u1111 u1ce994ry by the action of Car x1&l1n Tn rofusing to participate to the Iljzlr1t - agreeing to an armistice.
 Ihn& mo real and vital qhestion which will be presented to the medi- ators surrotnds Huertas It is. no se- cret what this country demands con- corning him It Is, and will be, the same that 1t has always been, the elim- ination of the dictator. This was the early demand of the administration and it has not ceased to be urged, with greater cause today than ever for it's accomplishment. Naturally it is to be expected that this win be op- posed as has been announced, but the strength of Huerta is today far less than a year ago and fast crumbling, and it remains to be seen what in- f1nence the mediators can bring to bear. However unlike him, it may be possible that he will listen to their advice as the best way out of an in- eyitable result.

CARE OF FEEeEEMiNDED.

Great is the cry following an as- sassination or an attempted assassina- tion for the proper care of the mem tally unbalanced or feeble minded. But strange to say that is about as far as the suggestion gets. Everyone realizes the importance of it, but ac- tion Is lacking. Provisions are made for those who by their actions indi- cate a sufficiently serious condition and for those who are imbeciles. but while those persons who are known to have uncomfortable passions and show from time to time indications of a dangerous nature are invariably known nothing seems to be done about them until they have committed a crime for which they are not respon- sible.
 In the state of New York there are 22,600 feebleminded persons outside of institutions. This means that they are getting no treatment for their possible improvement and the public no protec- ton therefrom. In this connection the New York Tribune calls attention to the fact that "The feebleminded have furnished the last three assailants of prominent public men in this coun- try, the men who shot Colonel Roose- welt and Mayor Gaynor and who tried to shoot Mayor Mitchell. A wise pol icy on the part of this state and others toward deficiency could have prevented these assaults, and it would restrict the influence of heredity in keeping up deficiency in the future. It would lessen crime. It would save society more than it would cost. And it would diminish the problem for the future."
 {
 The situation in New York and the need for attention in proportion de- serve the thought of each and every state. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
UnpayabIe Labor.

The laborer is worthy of his hire. This undebatable contention is the watchwofd of the conservative labor movement of our day. Under no cir cumstances shall the wage fall below the normal expenditure of energy, which doing the work costs the labor CT. This is the minimum wage which any wage earner under any circum- stances should receive.
 But the commercialization of labor itself-not without its ills-easily passes over into the commercialzation of all values, of life itself. It must not be forgotten that wages is only one side-the outside-of the relation of the worker to his work. After all, the inside is the main thing-so intimate, all wages. can come in between the worker and his work If the society Is in the end doomed that does not es- teem the laborer worthy of his hire, so also is the laborer who seeks nothing but his hire.
 The natural law of cau.a and effect in the matter in question of the equality of the strength consumed in work to the productive output Of the work-is common to man and nature This natural law is true alike of stax and atom. and it is true of the tniest more than a machine. He is think ing. willing, feeling being. More thar a machine, he introduces into his work values which cannot be appraised ac- cording to natural law-values, there fore, which cannot count in wages and cannot be paid in wages.
 There is this some ing in all true work which cannot be priced and therefore mans creative impulse. the mans joy in his work, robbed of which he is irreparably injured. This some thing is the inner life. the feeling and conscience of the man himself, the very beating of whose heart and pulse is felt in the work itself and gives itself in the work itself and gives it. self to the collective social spirit in and through tho work.
