What So Precious
AS a Healthy Baby?
Every Youngster Can Have
Fine Digestion if Given
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-
st1pa ton and indigestion have wrecked
many young life. To start with A
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.. CaldwelIs Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tons. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of its merits buy the
dollar size.
Its mildness makes 1t the ideal med
fcine for children. and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in it's
effect. and genuinely harmless. Very
little Of it Is required and its frequent
use does not cause il to lose its eff
feet, 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 reliable people like Mrs. James

tie son Howard was fifteen months

The Mexican Dilemma.

The execution of W. S. Benton by the Mexi
can Dictator Villa has brought on one Of the
most serious crises of the Mexican middle.
the most reliable reports to be trusted, Villa
had this man courtmartaled and shot on very
short notice. And since Benton is British sub
ject, trouble may be expected fror, England.
1t has been standing principle with her that
her great army and navy exist to pro- Il the
rights and to avenge the wrongs of her nbjects
II they are law-abidng. in whatever part of the
world they may be found. More than once in her
history, she has gone to war simply because a
single man was wronged
According to Villa, Benton was very gruff
and ungracious person, little given to ordinary
civilities. He is accused of having maltreated
his poems and with having been 1ngracious to
Villa himself. But this does not Justify the
mans murder. The accident Of having bad
temper does not forfeit for any person the pro-
lection Of law.
Villa argues that he executed the man in &C
cordance with the international rules of warfare.
Unless all reports are false this cannot be be-
cause those rules provide that under such cir
cumstances a representative from some nOn-con-
Blatant nation must be present during the court
martial. It seems the trial OF Benton moth
ing but brief stat-chamber session which gave
the man no rights OF self-defense at all, mere
conventionallty carried ON for appearances sake.
The probabilities are that Great Britain, the
United States or Villas friends never be
satisfied with any account of the execution. 1t
is hardly possible that the real facts concerning
the affair be ascertained.
This places the United States in very Pc
culiar position. Acting the Monroe Doctrine
the nation has made itself the policeman of this
continent, responsible for seeing that all foreign
els justly treated. But she has not recog-
r.zei tie Mexican ruler hence she has no one

A Unique Rich Man.

The death of Joseph Fels, millionaire soap
manufacturer of Philadelphia, calls attention to
the unique distinction he gained for himself and
the far-reaching economic theory he supported.
1t was through the earnest advocacy of the sin
gle tax that he gained standing in the esteem
and affections of his felow-countrymen rarely
accorded man of great wealth.
Mr. FEELS a follower of the Henry George
school of economics. At first, so his friend and
co-worker, Daniel kefer tells us, Mr. FEELS, who
always was inclined to take the side of the I'M
der-dOg, was interested in Socialism, About ten
years ago. however, he was converted to the sin
gle tax movement and since that time has spent
over million dollars here and in foreign coun-
tries spreading the Henry George doctrine
Briefly, the essence of the single tax as orig
mated by Mr. George and set forth in his master
Jy book Progress and Poverty" is this Wages
the reward of Labor, and Interest, the reward of
Capital, rise or fall together showing their
friendly relationship. AS Wages and Interest
rise, Rent. the royalty exacted by one class
through their merely owning the land privately
and therefore all its resources, falls Inverselv
when Rent rises Wages and Interest fall.
AS the corollary of this latter Mr. George
claimed the tendency is for the landed rich to
grow richer and the landless poor to become poor
Tie HiedlS Ol freeing LABOR and CaDltal
from their bondage to Rent, Mr. George proposed
that the government should absorb all of this
royalty or unearned increment by tax. mas
much as he claimed the amount thus realized
would be adequate to pay all governmental rum
ming expenses, as we'll to provide sufficient
money for wider national social endeavor and
no further forms of taxation would be necessary
to raise government revenue, the proposition
came to be known as the "single tax
Henry George ridiculed by the great ma
jority when thirty-four years ago he first
enumerated his doctrine. 1t is significant. how
ever, that today with our unsolved problem of
the high cost of living, substantial and sincere
thinkers are more and more accepting Rent as
it's cause and the single tax as it's cure
In addition they accept as the fundamental
cause of most economic Injustice or inequality of
opportunity, the exactions of the Rent ROYALTY.
They seek economic equality for all mankind
through the instrumentality of the single tax.
One of the most powerful of modern works
depicting the alleged inequality and Injustice in

1880, is Cost and Price, by Isaiah Skeels. pub
