Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive ORGANS OF
children get out of order as read
lily as do those Of their elders, and
the result is equally distressing.
When the bowels are clogged with
an accumulation OF refuse from
the stomach the child naturally be-
comes cross and fretful from the
discomfort, and Is often punished
for temper when medical attention
Is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy, without apparent
reason. try giving It a mild laxa-
tive. DR.. Celdwell's Syrup Pepsin
is mild. pleasant tasting comb1-
nation of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, and is especially
recommended for children because
OF .ts freedom from all opiate or
narcotic drugs and it's gentle ac-
ton. It is sold in drug stores
everywhere. A free trial bottle can
be obtained by writing to DR.. w.

never again join his playmates In the
old swimming hole.
Minors and children, following the
example of their elders, flock upon the
tracks, engines, cars and turntables
and are grounG to pieces or crippled
for life. Tramps and yeggmen travel
around the country in 'side-door Pull
mans robbing box cars and burning
ties. stations, bridges and timbers, and
robbing farmers, country banks,
stores and postofaces. In Canada,
where stealing rides is crime pun
ishable by fine of $50 or two months
in Jail, there are very few tramps.
ut would probably cost the states
and municipalities less to enforce a
law against trespassing, than it does
to pick up and bury the dead and
care for the crippIes"

EDUCATION FOR THE HOME.

Study of home relationships. as an
essential part of education, is the only
cure for the divorce evil, according to
Dr.. B. R. Andrews, in a bulletin on
Education for the Home" Just issued
by the United States bureau Of educa-
Ition.
In the making and the conduct of
home mans responsibility is equal 10
woman's, according to DR.. Andrews.
"As we have lately been emphasizing
woman's responsibility for municipal
and civic Matters he says, $50 we
may urge that men become more con-
scious of the home and their relation
Ito it. 1t takes two to start home
and the child has father as well as
a mother
The basis OF appreciation Of the
home is laid in the kindergarten.
Household arts will henceforth be
taught In the elementary schools. in a
general way, while practical training
in domestic science will be given to
girls whose education is to end with
the elementary school"
Practically all the state normal
schools have organized household arts
departments, according to DR.. An
drews. Of the colleges and univers-
tiles, over $50 have definite courses OF
instruction in home economics.
A number of government agencies,
including the home education division
of the bureau of education. the chill
dren's bureau, the public health serv-
ice, and the department of agriculture,
are all. according to this bulletin, en-
gagged in reinforcing the home and
the school in social betterment.
~ ,yy,1 nd ot-c
Dr. Andrews. For this reason the
child can be reached through the
school. The school can help the home
by reinforcing the natural interest
of the child in the home, by impart-
ing knowledge necessary for sharing
In home activities, and by affording
some practice in them"
Among the plans for connecting the
home and the school, that of giving
credit at school for homework done
at home is becoming widespread. The
application of this idea is seen in what
is known as the Crete plan 1t has
been in successful operation for ten
years in Crete, Neb., and has been
adopted in fifty or more high schools
| in that state and in neighboring ones.
This plan secures the cooperation OF
women able and willing to teach cook
ing of some given article. AS many
as twenty articles included in the
course. Girls thereby see the interior
of many good homes and gain impress
sions of good housekeeping. Girls be
come interested in cooking with the
result that they are often found In the
kitchen when their mothers entertain
in the parlor The plan has been SAID
to be "the most democratic form OF co.
Operation, and the best method OF
inhtIanthropy yet discovered.

Two tons OF catalogues passed
through the local postoff1ce yesterday,
eays the Fort Madison Gem City,
which is another evidence that the
mail order evil in Lee county has not
decreased. Patronizing mail order
houses is a sure method Of injuring
the home merchant. The local deal
er can duplicate the mail order
merchandise. Take your catalogue to
the home merchant and give him the
chance Deal with the men who are
vital factors in the development OF
your own community. You have a
greater interest and a greater respons-
Utility than you realize in cooperation
with the home merchant.

President Wilson has vetoed the
Immigration bill because Of the liter
acy test, Just as former President
Taft did. The bill was passed in the
senate and house by majorities so
large that it will probably receive the
necessary two-thirds to pass It over
the veto. There is a wide difference
of opinion as to the merits of the
measure, but there seems to be very
strong sentiment in favor OF more
severe restrictions upon immigration
and the 1iteracy test is favored by
many as the logical step in this direc-
ton, says the Creston Advertiser.

The government has received s9s. 40
in settlement for a single sugar pine
tree which was cut in trespass in the
Stanislaus National forest, in Cali
fornia. and which yielded more than
enough actual lumber to build good
sized suburban frame house. The
tree scaled 1888 board feet and was
valued at s5.25 per thousand feet. Not
many trees contain enough lumber to
build a two-foot board walk nearly
two miles long, and this is believed to
be the first case On record in which

TIE AGE OF WISDOM.

THE AGE OF WISDOM.
I'm nearer forty now than not (do mol
tell me 'Hsn't soD
And men have filed great libraries
with things I'll never know.
I've lived and loved and read and
worked in many distant cline
i've taken scientific tours in prehis
toric time.
i've made the circuit of the earth and
many lands I've seen;
And yet-why, 1 was twive as wise
when / was seventeen!
At seventeen one has the sure,
straight wisdom OF lad;
There are two sorts of folk alive-the
good sort and the bad.
Your creed, your fathers party-they
rise serene, alone;
The country, state or town that's best
Is certainly your own.
There are no ethical debates so seri.
GUS and long;
There's only one way that Is right and
one way that is wrong.
At seventeen you are not torn by in.
terests diverse;
You split no hairs and have no cares
'twixt better things and worse.
The school eleven's sure to win, I'M
less the games unfair;
You've got to get to college and make
the best frat there.
And then some day you'll join your
dad and make the business
whirl;
And underneath the sun for you
there's just the only girl.
Well, we that see SO close 1t hand
the hill OF middle age,
Don't think We do not envy you your
attitude OF sage.
For me. as / have said above. I've
weathered many cline,
And read and lived and loved and
worked little In my time;
I've paid, as most OF you will pay, a
rather heavy price.
And all I've gained is this, I think
the art Of thinking twice.
Apart from that there's little worth
that I have learned or seen;
"A boy is wise In many things when
he Is seventeen! ~
