1o17's FLAG is FLYING
From the North Spire of Bowdoin Col
leee Chapel, Brunswick.


Brunswick, Me, June s.-From the
very tip of the north spire Of the
Bowdoin College chapel flag bearing
the numerals 1917" is flying and will
probably fly for many days, as no one
can be found who is willing to risk
life to remove it, How the flag came
there is a mystery. 1t was not there
Friday evening, but was discovered
early Saturday morning, and the deed
was evidently done after the Freshmen
had a celebration Friday evening, at
which they burned their caps and at
tended theatre The faculty fearing
that some Sophomore may attempt TO
remove the flag, has had the lightning
rod on the spire taken down, as it was
not considered strong enough to allow
a person to elm, although undoubted-
" the same rod was the means by
which the Freshman placed the flag in
position. Elijah Kellogg was the first
to climb the spire. He placed the
presidents hat on the tip of the light
ming rod. He was followed in 1894 by
Donald B. Mcmillan. '9S, the Polar ex-
plorer, who flung his class flag TO the
breeze. The last attempt TO scale the
spire was in 1899. when four members
OF the class of 1903 did the trick.

mother cannot do better for her
children than to teach. them from their

Regularity can be promoted without
the child knowing it by watching its
food and by so varying the food that
all the elements of digestion are used,
when nature will do the rest, The fli-
tare health of the child depends upon
this.
But try as YOU will there are times
when the little one will become consti-
pated and bilious. In hot weather i'm
mediate attention is necessary, as
many serious diseases result from
stuffad-up bowels. Don't give salts or
cathartics or purgatives, as they are
too harsh, but give a gentle. pleasant
tasting bowel stimulant like DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. It has been usea
by the children of this as well as a
former generation, and thousands of
families are proud to speak well of it,
among whom we can mention Mrs.
Louise Reynolds, 900 Jackson St,
