- are the scenes that go to make the
happy American home. But along with 1t all
there is a basic requirement, that these little
humans be healthy. First and foremost of
their little ills are those pertaining to de-
rangements of the stomach and bowels
When trouble comes you call the doctor,
or you try dieting, special foods, stewed
fruits, etc. But have you ever tried Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin2 1t is q mild laxative
tonic that has been on the market for two
generations. having proven itself the one de-
pendable remedy, and thousands of mothers
now give 1t to their children. DR.. Caldwell's y
Syrup Pepsin is gentle in action, and espe-
cially intended for babies, women and old
folk, who should not use strong cathartics
or purgatives such as pills, powders, salts
and mineral waters.
Mrs. @. L. Hanson, Of Holmes, Cal, has
used 1t herself and gives It to her children,
and che says she will never be without it as
long as a bottle is obtainable. Mr.. T. B..
Pratt, OF Mariana, Ark, uses II himself and
has the whole family using 1t, and also says
he would not like to be without II. IL Is the
family remedy in thousands of homes because
II is a safe and sane remedy for constipation,
dyspepsia, biliousness, belching, gas on the
stomach, headaches, ,bloating, etc. Old users

The Bugaboo of Government
Ownership.

One of the stand-pat Republi-
can newspapers of st. Louis ha,
m~aterialized the ghost of govern.
ment ownership of railroads, tel.
ephones and telegraphs, and is
greatly disturbed.
1t is not improbable that, some
time, the National Government
will control all utilities having to
do with interstate commerce. It
may be in the next generation,
POSSIBLY in this one.
For the present, the stand
Hatters may dismiss their dread
of government ownership, and
the reason STAKES.
In 1912 the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies
paid in taxes something like
$llO,OOO,OO0-the figures are
taken from statistics gathered
ty the United States Govern
ment. With the income tax law
IN effect, these public service
utilities should pay not less than
$l25,0O0,0O0 a year in taxes.
Uncle Sam pays no taxes, and
so, under government ownership
the individual States would lose
not less than a million dollars in
come. 1t is unlikely that the
ghost will become a reality I'M
some means are devised by
which this huge loss to the State
can be offset-St, Louis Star.
