" atcl1 Carefully
 the Child s Diet
Start Them Off Right With . Good Laxative and. Then
 Watch Their Food.


 Mothers are often s1nconscious1y 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 per sons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it in digestion, andA urge it to take more of what is quickly digested-
 If the child shows tendency. to consti patton it should imm ediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. 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 requires is simply small doseso of the gentlest of medicines, such as pr. CaIdwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of Watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to consti- patton. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches. sleepIessn ess, and many other an noyances that children should not have can usually be traced to consti- patton.
 Many of Americas. foremost fam flies are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need | it, and all can use it Thousands en- dorse 1t, among them Mrs M. E. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never without it in the house. Mrs.

 New white taffeta frocks are quite likely to have tunics of cotton crepe in pale cplors. Long circular capes are held to the figure by breteI1es crossing the front of the corsage. Nothing is fresher and more spring like than the clean looking black and white checks. With all the changes in neckwear there seems to be a return to the close high neclzband. Little. cords of black silk curiously enriched with ivory buckles make odd and lovely necklaces.
 The startling coIors are left cut of the best dress models. Brilliant, clear color is used with discretion.
