What So Precious
As a Healthy Baby?
Every Youngster Can Have Fine
Digestion if Given a Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal care
and the most intelligent attention to
diet, babies and children will become
constipated, and it is a fact that con-
stipation and indigestion have wrecked
many young life. To start with
good digestive apparatus Is to start
life without handicap.
But, as We cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar bottle, and those who are
already convinced Of it's merits buy
the dollar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal
medicine for children, and 1t is also
very pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure
in it's effect, and genuinely harmless
Very little of it is required and it's
frequent use does not cause it to lose
its effect, as is the case with so many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to it's merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, ETC., among them

son Howard was fifteen months old

"lncesses attend conferences for
4 scussion of this question.
-.sfore Mr.. Stead died he wrote a
1885," 1t is interesting reading.
Known as great philanthropist and
| reformer, he was urged by good peo-
pie to try to bring about q change in
the laws of England on this subject.
A commissioners of the House of
Lords had reported upon the ques-
ton and strongly recommended that
an act of Parliament should be
passed to cope with the two cancers
that were eating into the body poll
tic. Mr.. Gladstone's Ministry-Sir
William Harcourt being then home
secretary-recognized the urgency of
the demand, and introduced bill
giving effect to the recommendations
of the committee, but there was no
motive power behind it. 1t was
strongly opposed by small group of
men who seemed almost to have a
personal interest in preventing the
strengthening of the law against the
corruption of weak and innocent
girls. Neither political party saw any
means of making capital out of it,
and the result was that session after
session the bill was introduced In
due course and then included in the
massacre of the innocents at the end
Of the session.
Then the plot was laid to bring
such disgrace on the laws of Eng
land that a change would be forced
by public censure. So Mr.. Stead was
induced to act the part of pro-
curer; and a weak and wicked mother
sold her daughter aged thirteen to
him, for three pounds-fifteen dol
lars-believing that her daughter was
to go into an infamous house. The
daughter was indeed taken to house
and witnesses and trained nurses and
physicians were on hand to rescue
her and attest to her leaving the
house as chaste as she entered it: but
the story was published in full in
the Pail Mall Gazette, in an article
by Mr.. Stead called 1.-The Maiden
Tribute of Modern Babylon" 1t
brought a perfect storm upon the
heads of all concerned but a worse
storm of censure on English laws.
Mr. Stead meantime sent the rescued
girl away from her wicked mother
and he was therefore arrested for
abduction and imprisoned.
Late w. T. Stead Told of His Convic-
ton In This Famous Case
Mr.. Stead says of this incident:
after a long trial, for which the

suppers alone We're twenty, besides
the mineral waters, cigars cordials
and the tip.
The drive home through the now
deserted streets was as depressing as
the drive home always is after an
evening of stimulated gayety.
Helen kept thinking of the twenty
five dollars and of how little they had
for it. She would have bought a Per.
sian rug for the hall for twenty-f five
dollars
And all the table linen that would
have bought! She was planning to
get some during the January white

would not do 1t often in the future!
She was beginning to feel definite
personal interest in the youths health.
Such nice young man! For him to
dissipate his life away by staying up

Yes; that's what brought me over.

Didn't he tell you?"
No; he left the house soon after
you did. You must have said some
thing that upset him. He acted dread

Josie bent above her work. ShS
could not tell even the Judge of tho
intensity of feeling which she had put
into that long conversation with Broad
way.
She had not slept so very we'll her
self. She had wondered If he thought
her bold, ofticious, to have given him
advice SO freely, to have told him what
she had about what she believed to
be his duty. She knew that, now and
then, she had been almost impassioned
IN her plea for Jonesville and it's
people. She wondered If he thought
her silly, over-earnest. But she told
the judge none Of these things. They
were hidden in her heart. That heart
mad known lot Of turmoil since
Broadway had come back.
Il simply told him the true state of
AFFAIRS and explained to him what the
plant meant to ethe town." she said
and bent above her papers on the
desk.
What did he say?" asked the persis-
tent judge.
Much as she loved the Judge, she
wished that he would go away and
question her no further. There was q
little feeling IN her heart that she must
nle that talk with Broadway among
the things which she held sacred. All
women have a secret file of memories
OF that sort. She could not talk about
1t.
He said nothing very much"
Then a detail of his talk which had
intensely puzzled her came back to
her, and she decided to discuss 1t with
the Judge.
He kept inquiring how much cash
we had" She smiled, not critically.
He doesn't seem to be much of q
business man.
