Good Bo1Uels Are
 An Aid to Gr01Uth
Growing Children Need a Mild Laxative to Foster Regular
 Bowel Movement

As the child grows older it requires more and more personal attention from the mother, and as the functions 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 cer- tain foods. A food will constipate one and not another, and so we have a healthy food like eggs causing biliousness to thousands, and a 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 it's later rou- tine.
 very valuable remedy at this stage, and one which every growing boy and girl should be given often or occasion- ally, according to the individual circum- stances, is pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin This Is a laxative and tonic combined so mild that it is given to little babies, and yet equally effective in the most robust constitution. At the first sign of a tendency to constipation give a small dese of Syrup Pepsin at night on retir- ing, and prompt action win follow in the morning. It not only acts on the stomach and bowels but it's tonic properties build up and strengthen the system generally, .whien is an opinion shared by MT. John Dey of Bloomfield N. J. He has a large family and at ages where the growth and development must be watched. Lit tie Marie has thrived especially well on

"A BISHOP AMONG HIS FLOCK" By the Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, D.D..
 LII. D. Harper Bros. publishers, New
 York
 Those who remember Bishop Ethelbert Talbots entertaining and inspiring book, My People of the stains" with it's shrewd understanding of human nature and it's practical demonstration of what religion can do, will be very willing to Alarn more of the authors mind, and of lis beliefs regarding the individual s need of a church and the manner in which the church performs its work. As a personal profession of faith, Bshop Talbot's recently published book, "A Bishop Among His Flock" has the value that only chara and earnest ness can give. while in discussing, as it does, broad questions of religious im- port as well as matters pertaining more particularly 10 churchmen, 1t aids the general conversation that is going on in the world today about the meaning of doctrines and forms of worship. The bishop is tolerant, gives due apprecia- tion to the good influence of denomina- tions other than his, deploring chiefly the want of unity among Protestant churches. Especially significant as sug- gesting a remedy for the weakening of the churches influence so often alleged is the following passage
 we are very far from believing that the difficulties of the ministerial pro- fession really dismay many of our best endowed and noble minded young men, Rather are we persuaded that an ap- peal to the heroic in them will win them Make the preaching of the gospel so

DIANA ARDWAY"
HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE"

 By Van Zo Post Illustrated in colors by Gayle Hoskins. J. B. Lippincott Con- pany publishers Philadelphia A real love story is always an interest ing thing to the reader and it can be | safely promised xhat in Diana Ardway"
 no more "real' love story has ever been presented.
 The author, Van Zo Post, has told this
 unconventional story in very frank way, dealing with the primitive passions and instincts of modern characters in way that few have ever been able to handle as they are handled here. The people-the scenes-the situations are all unusual, and yet very strikingly human, because premeating the entire sit
 ua1on is a riot of life and love- Interspersed also is a vein of humor, which is decidedly, appealing, and the | quiet action and ready wit of the char acters make it a delightfully."- readable story.
 "Diana Ardway" is quite different from the general run of love stories and any
 one who is looking for a couple of hours entertainment will not make mistake by reading it.

AFake Letter From Christ.
An anonymous writer signin

An anonymous writer signing
the nom de plum Winfield Citi-

printed in the WINFIELD Comrade
purporting to be a letter from
Christ, and requests that the
Chronicle publish it. We pub
lished this latter four or five
years ago at the earnest request
of one of our subscribers, and
have seen it printed since that
time in a number of instances.
1t is a fake and a fraud, and has
been so denounced by a humber
of Scriptural scholars, who have
pointed out the earmarks of its
fraudulency from the language
of the letter itself. The person
who wrote it was so ignorant
that he makes use of expressions
showing conclusively that it coult
not have been written in thu
time of Christ, nor for a thous
