A Bit Of Iowa History.
ON the Cedar Rapids Republica


David Brant punctures a venerable lie.
through the Iowa City Republican. a lie
that has been floating around in Iowa
politics for many years. It vas recently
restated in a political letter Of wide pub
Ncation. The lie has to do with the re-
tirement OF the judges of the supreme
court who passed upon the prohibitory
amendment, throwing it out on a const!-
t~utional t~echnicaltty.
1t has generally been believed in poll
tics that the judges who defeated the
amendment were all retired by the voters,
as fast as they came up for reelection.
Mr.. Brant who is old enough to have par
ticipated in those conventions says that
this is not true and he gives the follow
ing as the facts: .
1.-THE members of the supreme court
who passed upon the amendment were
James G.. Day, chief Justice; Joseph M.
Beck, VIM: 81: Sewers. Austin Adams,
James H. Rothrock. Judge Day was a
candidate for a third nomination at the
convention Immediately following the de-
cision. He was opposed by Joseph r.
Reed Of Council Bluffs. The writer was
a delegate to this convention from Linn
county for Judge Day. But the fact is
that the decision helped Judge Day rath-
err a injured him. He was beaten be-
cause he lost practically all of his own
Judge Reed. Judge Day was appointed
to I'LL q vacancy and had been twice elect

Watch Carefully
the Child'S Diet
Starr Them of Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Wdtch
Their Food.


Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion. and
urge it to take more of what is quick
ly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation 1t should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. BY this is not meant a physic or
purgative, for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc What the child re-
auires is simply a small dose OF the
gentlest Of medicines, such as DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which, In the
opinion of thousands Of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness,
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many Of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause n can never tell when some
member of the family may need 1T,

and Mrs. Bridgman passed in return
ing from England Immediately after
the outbreak of the European war.
Mr.. Bridgman traced the causes of
the war briefly and created enthusiasm
by declaring the United States to have
been founded providentially so that at
this crisis and in the future this
nation may be the one toward which
the world may turn for sympathy and
help.
A Victrola concert was rendered
during the evening and refreshments
served which had been prepared by
