once knew a little girl Of eight who
confided in her mother deep admiration
for a certain small member OF the OPP
posite sex The mother thought this
youthful love affair hugely amusing
and promptly told everyone about It..
1t would be hard to make anybody who
does not keenly remember his own
childhood realize how that little girl
ing about a feeling that to her was
sacred.
Again the injustice which even In
telligent parents show in Furnishing
not according to the real Nervousness,
but according to the inconvenience it
causes them, must give children
strange ideas Of justice.
Parent and child Is the only rela-
tionship between which corporal pun
shment is permitted in this country.
A master cannot strike his servant; a
mistress may not lay the tip of her
finger on her maid. The right to use
brute force is a dangerous power. 1t
tends to breed lack of self control in
the ruler and rebellion, or fear,
sycophancy and deceit in the one
governed.
or course the fact that there is a
bond of strong love between parents
and children curbs the power and les
sens the danger. Nevertheless many a
child has learned the wicked lesson
that might makes right from unjust
punishment.
Do not think It does not matter
whether you are just and honorable to
the child because it does not under
stand these qualities. 1t matters very
much indeed
HE who helps a child" says Phillips
Brooks, helps humanity with a dis
tinctness and an immediateness which
no other help given to human crea-
lures in any other stage of their hui
man life can possibly give" And the
opposite is true of him who, failing tc
be honorable and Just toward the little
folks, harms child.

champion.
Mr.. Todd is very encouraging this
morning and flatters Peggy on the
manner in which she takes to the
game. She has already learned the
names of all the clubs and only once
did she mistake a midiron for a
mashie. True. she confused Colonel
Bogie with a bunker, but Mr.. Todd
soon put her right on this. Peggy
said she thought Boyle was something
they used to scare children, but Mr..
Todd says that frequently it alarms
grown-ups too.
At the completion of eighteen holes
Peggy confesses to something of
WEAKNESS, though nothing like what
she would experience under circum-
stances of a more utilitarian nature.
Walking the same distance on a
household errand would have dis
abled her for week.
Such a constitutional aversion to
exertion as Peggy's will not long en-
dure vigorous activities whether past
times or not. And mother, observing
the companionship of Peggy and Mr..
Todd is willing to wager that a week
will be quite long enough.

Summer Foods As
Cause Of Dyspepsia
Many Also Get Diarrhoea-What To
Do in Either Case.

Summer ought to be the months Of
most perfect health, but owing to con-
taminated water and milk, unripe
I fruit, germs and insects the average
of health is not good at this time Of
the year. There is much skin trouble
from acid fruits. and much dyspepsia
and diarrhoea from cold foods and
iced beverages.
The skin trouble is easily stopped
by disseminating fruit for a few days,
and by the use of a mild laxative to
clean the bowels and tone the blood.
The dyspepsia is likewise corrected
by the use of laxative that has COM
bined with 1t the elements of a diges-
tive tonic. Hence the best remedy
to use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
which, as its name indicates, is a
pleasant laxative combined with the
virtues Of pepsin, which we all know
is the best cure for indigestion.
Use Syrup Pepsin also for summer
diarrhoea. Avoid astringents, physics
and cathartics, as they are unneces-
sarily harsh. Thousands of good
American families prefer DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, among them
those of Mrs. W. A. Taylor, Beloit,
Wis. who finds she can give it to her

LOOK OUT FOR ARMY
WORM MOTHS WITH
ONE COLORED WING

The United States department of
Agriculture in sending out the follow
ing official warning requests that the
public give every assistance in deter
mining the habits of the troublesome
pest, the army worm: Everyone inter-
ested in the destruction of the army
worm pest is being requested by the u
S. Department of Agriculture to leok
out for army worm moths with one ar
tifcially -colored wing. The depart
ment's entomologists are catching ar
my-worm moths where they are plen-
tiful, coloring one wing of each, and
then liberating them in the same ter
ritory. so that they may determine
whether these moths fly directly west.
or north, and how quickly and far
they will spread. A better knowledge
of the habits of this pest should en-
able the Department to control its
spread. No moths are to be let loose
where their liberation could possibly
add to the natural damage.
The moths are already showing
themselves in Virginia and in Mary
land. and the departments agents are
catching specimens at Portsmouth and
Charlottesville in Virginia, and Hag-
erstown in Maryland. The agents at
Portsmouth are applying a red stain
to one wing of each specimen caught;
those at Charlottesville black or yell
low stain; and those at Hagerstown.
violet color. Then the moths are left
to follow the natural course they
would have pursued.
Look for the army worm moth with
a eolored wing during the coming
month the departments bureau of
entomology is advising its agents east
of the Missippi. Any one observing a
marked specimen will aid in the cam
paign by reporting the fact to the bu-
reau of entomology, Washington, D. c.
When it's presence has been noted, the
moth should be destroyed.
How to Recognize the Moth.
The wings of the army worm moth,
when outspread, measure about 1-2
inches from tip to tip. The body is
about half this length. The general
shape of the moth with its wings out
spread is triangular. The moths will
hover about the lights in the evening.
On farms. they will be found on the
outside of screens and doors a. night.
They will probably not be observed in
the daytime On dark, hot, close nights,
such as precede thunder storms, they
will probably be especially noticeable.
The army worm pest has caused
considerable damage to the crops and
lawns this summer throughout the
northern United States east of the Mis-
sissippi. The worms are only now dis
appearing in northern Maine and
Michigan. which were probably hatch
ed from the eggs of moths migrating
from more southern portions Of the
country. With the additional knowl-
edge that this experiment will give,
the department hopes to control the
spread of the pest more completely in
coming years.

A Physiclan's Advice

I'D certainly give most anything to

being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers Of nutrition are

blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro.
duce healthy normal amount of fat

be accomplished by eating a Sargol
tablet with every meal. Sargol is a
scientific combination of six of the

who so desires may find opportunity
in which to learn the location of the

shock, and even how to treat so seri-

Anatomy and technical physiology
are now receiving less attention than

scientists have gained a knowledge

This knowledge involves simple

it is often rejected by the ignorant.
TIE old. adage you cannot teach an
old dog new tricks" Is still true, and
if hits knowledge is to reach the
masses, it must reach them through

wildly recall the joyous home coming
of August. 1864. just fifty years ago.
They had re-enlisted for an additional
three years term some six months be-
fore, down on the bleak Southern
Texas coast, and had won the allur-

of absence in the dear old State of the
Pine Tree. With patriotic ardor and
commendable patience they had en-
dured the rigors of the Texas cam

by the adventurous and laborious Red
River campaign; taken a hand in the
driving of Jubal Early up the Shen-
andoah after his audacious raid upon
