Parents Should KnOW
This Splendid Remedy
Simple Laxative Compound Helps
to Correct Constipation
in Children.

With all children there are times
wynn the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer remedy. Cathar-
ties and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tenn
porary relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva
#. Gaff, SIT 10th ST., Washington, D.
g, says that her little girl, Marie, had
been subject to constipation, and that
she found Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pep
sin the best remedy because of its
nllldness. and now always keeps bot
tie OF it in the house.
: DR.. Celdwells Syrup Pepsin is 4
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs OF
any kind, and is an ideal remedy for
children because of it's mild action and
positive effect. Its use tends TO
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.

Road Movement I'm Writ County

BY +. Nj. Thompson. Member OF Court.
In our little county of Writ we are
not launching any great schemes but
are working 400 miles OF dirt road.
On March our court called the road
superintendents to the court house and
had an experience meeting of how and
when to work earth roads. Members
OF the court treated the superintend-
ents to a banquet at the hotel which
was enjoyed by all present. The idea
was in this meeting TO cooperate and
close up all gaps from the state engi-
neer TO the road workers. The slogan
was 10 have at least nine months of
good dirt roads and have the drags and
machines put TO work as soon as DOS
sible.
Last year the good roads day did
our public and the roads a great deal
OF good. Many citizens turned out and
worked. The automobile men as a
class have not performed this kind of
work. but turned out and worked the
roads with energy and vim We have
different classes of roads in Writ coun-
ty. some of which with very little
travel and others the heavy oil field
traffic passes over. We are arrang-
ing TO work all our roads as rapidly
as possible.

Give the "Klds, a Chance

Up to few years ago, Il never oc-
Cured to older people that Young
America needs place to play In. 1t
Is commonly supposed that live boy
would find plenty OF amusement in
selling newspapers, running errands,
or hoeing the back yard garden. II
he must have his game OF ball once In
a while, there was the street or some
ones vacant lot.
AS a matter Of fact II often happens,
even In the country town, that there
was no place where a set OF boys could
play game OF ball without being or
dered to quit.
Most American towns were laid out
with no provision for the children.
There was ample foresight for any
thing I'm which money could be made.
Railroads and factories never lacked
opportunities. Land was often given
TO attract them. But the cases where
land was given where young people
could play their games freely, and
WORK or superflous and threatening
energy, we're rarely seen.
In the larger cities the modern
playground, with a tangle Of yelling
kidlets. is a sight to do a wholesome
hearted person good. The boy who
Is chasing baseball is not robbing fruit
nor loafing on the street corners.
a playground entertaining a large
crowd of children does not fully serve
its mission unless carefully supervised
by some competent person. The aver.
age boy gets altogether too much fun
from tormenting somebody under his
size. Also the average crowd of 12-
year olds is very far from ready for
self government.
But even II a neighborhood or a viii
lage can merely open up vacant lot
and turn the youngsters loose the re-
suits are worth while.

Prison Association Condemns Bill

to State of More Than Milton

NEW YORK. April 1.--Backed up
by the testimony OF twcnty-nlne OF
this country's leading specialists In
penal administration. who sail con-
denim tho legislatures plan 10 rebuild
sing Sing. the Prison Association OF
New York has launched n campaign
To condemn the old pile Mt Ossininx

land at Beckman. bought for tho So
called tramp colony.
a saving of ut least $1,000, 900. the
association says, will bo secured by
It's plan. II has introduced n bill I'm
the Assembly providing for the trans
Ter and the establishment of tramp
colony on the wingdale site, which
was purchased several years ago for N
state prison site. and then found un-
suitable. The bill carries an appro-
priation of 100000 for prison con-
struction and maintenance at Beck
man and 100000 for tho tramp COL
ony.
In line with tho states economy pro-
gram modern farm Industrial prison.
the association says. can be built and
equipped at per capita cost OF 81 900
an Inmate, which would make tho In
stitution cost the state 81 900 900 less
than as planned some years ago. Also
The tramp colony. II Is contended,
would soon demonstrate It's worth as
means of state revenue, such as Bel
glum, Holland and Germany have en-
joyed for generations.
Countrywide testimony from pris-
on experts protesting against any
move for tho rebuilding OF Sing Sing
is evidence enough, the association
says, OF the vital impetus or hindrance
New York's action will have to the
cause OF prison reform.
"A disgrace and scandal" is tho
opinion OF Sing Sing expressed by DR..
Charles X. Henderson. leading PEN
alogist. ITO pcrpetuate this antiquat-
ed type would be dishonor to New
York In the eyes of specialists the
world over" he says.
DR.. Henderson emphasizeS SrsryyasaM.
OF the farm prison. as does Joseph r.
Byers, president OF the American Pris-
on Association, who also urges the
abolition of the old prison construction
which provides Interior cells built I'm
tiers. Three ex-president of the Amer
lean Prison Association condemn any
plan to rebuild Sing Sing on its pres
ent site.
The legislatures program for the
PRISONS rebuilding at cost OF $780,
600 would mean, the state association
says, the eventual expenditure of sew
eral million dollars, with the result an
antlquated structure on a fearfully
congested area, while the entire trend
of reform is toward the farm indus
trial prison.

Road Officials Cannot Handle Money

Complaints have arisen from some
counties where courts have turned
money over directly to supervisors to
be expended by them. Chapter 45 of
the Acts of 1913 provides for expen-
ditures from the road funds and also
prohibits county road engineers or
other Representatives of the county
courts from receiving or distributing
any money and disbursing any money
to any person, persons or contractors
employed by or working under his au-
thority. directly or indirectly.

Health Supervision of Children Before
School Age

That special medical attention
should be given to children In the four
or five early years before school be-
gins is asserted by DR.. David Forsyth,
an English physician, whose views are
published I'm bulletin Just issued by
the United States bureau of education.
DR.. Forsyth declares that medical in
spection OF elementary school children
points to n widespread physical deter
ioration during the first four or five
years OF life, which leaves the ma
jority of children with serious but pre-
ventable defects.
Little or nothing has been done as
yet by way OF solution" says DR.. For
syth. Preventive measures limited
TO the first years are unlikely to have
much influence In warding off later
troubles. gap, at present unabrldg-
ed, stretches from the first year to the
nth, when the school medical inspec-
ton begins"
AS a suggested remedy DR. FORSYTH
describes plan adopted in the city
OF Westminster, England. In January,
1912, a medical inspection center was
opened for children of school age I'm
the north half of the city. Here a staff
or health visitors is maintained. TO get
into touch at once with every family
where child is newly born. Through
this STAFF every child I'm the district ia
kept under medical supervision from
the time OF its birth until the end OF
It's fifth year, the purpose being TO
hand the child over sound and healthy
to the school authorities.
OF 374 children examined during
the first year OF the center, 131 were
under / year OF age, n under 2 years.
SO, 80 and 80 under 3, 4 and 8 years
respectively. The medical records
cards showed a rapid rise in the tide
OF disease with each year OF life. II
was found that while most children I'm
the first period are healthy, only a
small minority come through TO the
NTH year without at least one physi-
cal defect Of some kind.
DIR. Forsyth concludes: Large
numbers Of children, healthy i'm all
respects at birth, become within five
years the physically defective entrants
whom the education authority Is re.
quirod, at no small cost, to restore. SO
far as possible. to their original state
OF health. Yet most OF these cases
are preventable. or, II taken I'm time
can DC remedies more speedily, and
therefore more chcaply, than II left
until school age, by which time not
few will have received permanent
damage physical or mental The
problem OF the defective child largely
resolves itself into the problem OF tho
under-school age child, and seems
hardly likely TO be solved by anything
short OF a general plan insuring TO al
children regular medical supervision
from birth TO school age. And this. I,
be fully successful. must run side b,
side with educational measures for I'm
structing the mothers themselves who
from ignorance far more than from
willful neglect or even from indlgence
are unable to safeguard their chill
dren's health"
