Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.

Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about tie diet OF their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. Tlhesfact Is that all foods do
not agree alike with different per-
sons. Hence, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give It in
digestion, and urge it to take more
Of what Is quickly digested.
II the child shows tendency to
constipation IT should iimmediatel be
given mild laxative to help the
bowels. By this is not meant a
physic or spurgative, for these
should never be given to Children
nor anything like salts, pills. etc
What the child requires is simply a
small dose of the gentlest Of medi-
zines, such as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
PepAns which, in the opinion OF
thousands Of watchful mothers, is
the ideal remedy for. any child
showing a tendency ITO cona ipation.
SO many things can happen to a
consttpated child that care is neces.
sarys Colds, piles, headaches, sleep
lessness, and many other annoyance
that children should not have can
usual Sbe traced to constipation.
Many OF Americas foremost fani-
lies are never, without Syrup Pepsin,
because one can never tell when some
member of the family may need it,
and alitcannuse it, Thousands on

Mrs. Patten says that Syrup Pepsin
has done wonders for her boy Ralph,
who was constiputed from birth
but is nowldoing fine. Naturally
she is enthusiastic about 1t and
wants other mothers to use IT. DR..
caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold BY
druggists at fifty cents and one dol .
lar bottle. the latter size being
bought by those who already know
its value. and It contains proportions

Everyone likes Syrup Pepsin as It
is very pleasant to the taste. 1t is
also mild and non-griping and free
from injuries ingredients.

THE tendency Of the early An.

decoration. The simple and ever 30
lovely flower effects which mark the
midsummer hats Is to give way to
eccentric effects. ! am sending you
photographs this week Of some hats

the fireworks with which you cele.

These hats are in all instances
black. with either white or black dec.

Skyrocket Hat are indeed most novel.

But II you aspire to the wear of

WOMEN SAY NEWSPAPER ADS LURE GIRLS TO

fully investigated by the Travellers
Aid Department of the Chicago Y. w.
C. A.
Therefore, the Travellers Aid have
completed details Of plan to send
warnings broadcast that there never
was time before when jobs for girls
were as much in demand in Chicago
as right now.
The organization is authority for
the statement that the traffic in
white slaves is being renewed after
IuIl of couple of years.
According to Secretary Wilhelmina
Barr, there will be six classes OF girls
in the warning. They are:
Girls afflicted with "traveitis. "
Employed girls who come in an
swer to the false lure of better wages.
Immigrants. Girls coming to
visit relatives or friends whom they
have not seen for some time. s.
Show girls. 6-Runaways.
The letter of warning is as follows:
"Girls are coming to Chicago every
day from all over the world seeking
employment. We have been in Trav-
elers' Aid work for over twenty-five
wears and there never has been a time
like this in all the history of Our work
when it has been so impossible for
strange girls to obtain work.

employ girls without recommended

now to make an honest living. We

earnestly ask you to warn women,
men and girls not to come here.
$50 many girls who have come from
some part of Europe stay in New
York long enough to get money to
come to Chicago, where they seek
work long enough to enable them to
go on to some other part of the
world. When 1 ask them why they
did not stay where they were until
they had money enough to take care
of themselves or were sure of en-
ployment, they answer, We want to
see America
1--WE want to do all we can, but I
think it is about time we are giving
some attention to the girls we have
on hand. So, unless girls make sure
they have employment after reaching
here, or have c0Tresponded with
friends to be sure of a home, they .
should not come to Chicago.
MANY come to Chicago expecting
to stay with friends. Some of them
they have not heard from for years,
and, consequently, when they reach
here they find that their friends have
moved to another part of the country.
Girls come here from New York
City, Detroit. Cleveland and every
other city in the country thinking
they will receive larger salaries. This
is great mistake, and earnestly ask
the newspapers and societies which
have the interest of girls at heart to
do all they can to correct these
errors"
