Watch Carefully
the ChiLd'S Diet
Start Them of Righf With a Good
Losofive and, Then Wnfch
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 persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give 1t indigestion, and
urge 1t to take more Of what is quick
ly digested.

constipation 1t should Immediately be
given q mild laxative to help the bow.
els. BY this Is not meant physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose of the
gentlest OF medicines, such as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which. in the
opinion of thousands of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many OF Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need It,,
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse

.OPERATESONHEART
Noted Surgeon Declares VaIVuIa Af-

Clamps Placed on Arteries Shut
or Circulation While Leaky
VaIUes Are Treated

New York-Dr. Alexis Carrel, head
of the Rockefeller Institute and win
ner of Nobel prize for science, dis
cussed Saturday his latest experiment
in surgery of the heart before the
American Surgical association. These
experiments were performed on dogs,
with the idea of developing methods
and technique which can now be sue
cessfully applied to human subjects.
'In several recent instances" DR..
Carrel said. 81 have succeeded in
clamping en- masse the neck or pedicle
of the heart, thus shutting off the cir
culation of the blood for two or three
minutes and giving opportunity for a
rapid operation on the aortic and pull
monary valves. After the operation
was completed and the clamps re-
moved, the heart resumed it's pulsa-
ton, and after a short time the pulsa-
tions become regular. An Interrupt
tion of circulation for a much longer
period is undoubtedly possible, so that
operations of more complicated ma
ture could be performed.
''In no case were there any acct
dents nor was there any need of mas

BRYAN GIVES VIEWS
Canal Treaty Not Involved in Pres
ent Tolls Dispute.
Opposition to Subsidy Is Held to
DlDdrf Exemption - Thinks
Wilson Understands Issue.

Washington, d. C.-Secretary Bry-
day, reviews at length the Panama
tolls question and in the course of the
statement declares that the repeal of
the tolls expemption in the Panama
canal act "cannot be construed to be
construction of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty." but is ''simply refusal on
the part of the United States to raise
that question in that way"
Mr.. Bryan discusses various fea-
lures of the subject-the limiting of
debate in the house of representatives,
the Baltimore platform and the effect
of repeal on the treaty.
Asserting that the opponents of the
repeal have seized upon the charge
that the President is "surrendering to
England" Mr.. Bryan declares that the
opposition to the repeal has attempted
to appeal ''to prejudice rather than to
reason.
''What has Great Britain DONE" he
asked, ito justly the accusation that
she is trying to dictate to this coun-
try? She has simply called attention
to the terms of the treaty and asked
for arbitration of the question of con-
struction, in case this government diff
fers from the British government in
the construction to be placed on the
language The very men who are Sc
insistent upon constituting the treaty tc
permit free tolls delayed for months
the ratification of the treaty with
Great Britain because of their opposi-
tion to any arbitration on the subject.
In other words, they construed the
treaty to permit discrimination anc
then objected to allowing any interna
tional court to express an opinion or
the subject. If, as a matter of fact
the treaty grants the rights which
Great Britain claims, is it SURRENDER
to Great Britain for our nation to re
peal law that raised that question?

part of the United States to raise tina

Find Tusk of Ancient

Their proof from the discovery of the
skull and other portions of the skele-

Eye Grating Has EUery

Baltimore-The success of the oper-

the Baltimore Eye, Ear and Throat
hospital, in which the cornea of pig
eye was grated onto the blind eye of
David Kane, six-months-old infant,
is now practically assured. DR.. Floyd
B. Whitman, the surgeon who per
formed the operation, still refuses to
make statement with reference to it,
but it is learned that the eye on which
the pigs cornea was grated is still
clear. There is reason to believe that
it will remain clear for the few days
left of the time allotted for the test by

Chicago-Illinois women swarmed

None of the nine women candidates
who sought to represent their wards
in the city council was elected, and
except in the First ward where Miss
Marion Drake had made a spectacular
fight against John (Bathhouse) Cough
lin, the women candidates polled only
a small fraction of the women votes.
Coughlin had 1000 majority and re-
ems votes as his opponent.
In the First ward indications were
that Coughlin had won by about fouI
to one. The suffrage forces, which
had united to support Miss Drake,
were jubilant, however, and declared
