hands with the governor-elect. where
upon Governor Stuart remarked:

"Everybody's we'll returned the
darkey, only All hasn't got no fam

The local quality is better suited to

Chinese are heavy consumers OF this

Good Bowels Are

Bowel Movement.

As a child grows older 1T requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother. and as the func-
tons 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

fruit like bananas constlpating many.
1t 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 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. Caldwells
