Watch Carefully
The Child'S Diet
Start Them Off Right With a
Good LdxdtiOe and Then
Watch Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per
sons. Hence, avoid what seems TO
constipate the child or to give 1t in
digestion, and urge II to take more
of what is quickly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the
bowels. By this is not meant a physic
or purgative, for these should never
be given to children, nor anything
like salts, pills etc. What the child
requires is simply a small dose of the
gentlest OF medicines such as Dr.
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which. in
the opinion Of thousands of watchful
mothers, is the ideal remedy for any
child showing a tendency to consd-
patton. So many things can happen
to q constlpated child that care is
necessary. Colds, piles, headaches,
sleeplessness. and many other annoy
ances that children should not have
can usually be traced to constipation
Many of Americas foremost tami-
lies are never without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never toll when some
member of the family may need 1t,
and all can us it. Thousands endorse

HELD UP At RENO,
GIRL FINALLY WEDS
Miss Cameron Halted on Way
to 0regon-Kept Oscar c.
Gibbs in Suspense.

Happily married in Lakeview, Ore,
after a ten-day hold-up of the bride in
Reno. New, Oscar c. Gibbs, of Wash
ington, and Mrs. Goldie Jane Gibbs, for
mer Miss Cameron, of Prince George
county, Md, are at last being showered
with congratulations from their friends
in the Capital.
Details of their wedding and the Reno
delay have just been received by fam
flies and friends here.
More than a year ago. Mr.. Gibbs be-
came impatient OF the slow building of
a law practice in Washington. and he
determined to follow the advice of
Horace Greeley. He hit the new country
around Lakeview and there hung out
his shingle. He met with immediate
success and popularity followed. He en-
tered politics and was one of the Wilson
organizers in the State. AS a reward,
his increasing law practice was crowded
by an appointment from Governor eWst
as States attorney for Lake County,
Oregon.
His letters to Miss Cameron brimmed
with confidence and she was urged to
terminate the nine-year courtship that
had waited on success. A ring came
by mail, and the day after Christmas,
Miss West, accompanied by her brother,
VIII Cameron, slipped quietly away
from her home in Prince George coun-
II. All went we'll until they reached
Reno, where the travellers were to
change cars with a one-night stop-over.
The next morning, December 81, floods
and storm had washed out the rail-
read; it was not until ten days later
that the first train went through to
Lakeview, Ore. The wires had gone
out of service with the railroad tracks
and SO had the mails. For ten days,
young Gibbs paced the platform at
Lakeview waiting for the train that did
not come. On the morning Of the elev-
enth day his vigil was rewarded, and
the first passenger of at Lakeview was
his prospective bride. They were mar
ried January 10.
Miss Cameron is the daughter of Mrs.
Agnes L. B. Cameron, of Prince George
county. Mrs Cameron Is sending out
announcements of the wedding today.
Mr.. Gibbs is also a native of the coun-
ty, the families living on adjoining es-
tates. He is the son of William H.
Gibbs. of the Indian Bureau. He is a
graduate OF Strayers Business College,
and the National Law School. He was
at one time secretary to the director
of the Experimental Farm at College
Park He also was special agent of the
General Land Office, in New Mexico,
before opening a law practice in Wash
ington.
