Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mid
laxative TO Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

As a child grows older 1t requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother. and as the func-
lions Of the bowels are Of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet Is of great Importance. and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands. and wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
It is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage. and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, Is DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This is laxative and
tonic combined, SO mild that 1t Is
given to little babies. and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring. and

Economy in baking. as every good cook

In buying the materials as on the success
Of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes In buying. And the fact that Calu-

COOPERATION In BIBLE TIMES

times, Ahijah. the man who placed Jereboam over

So far as can be learned, there were no isolated
farm houses where single families lived alone. As
general thing, number Of more or less related
families united In forming rural village. These
were not cities in any sense, even small towns
but little hamlets set In the midst OF the fields and
hills. The country districts were dotted with
these tiny villages and we find constant reference
to them throughout the Old and New Testaments
Every morning the men went out to the fields to
work and at night they came back to the village
for shelter.
The reason for this gathering into villages was
that the farmers were under the necessity of Co
operating against the attacks of enemies from the
