Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive organs of
children get out of order as rapidly
as do those of their elders, and the
result is equally distressing. When
the bowels are clogged with an ac-
emulation of refuse from the stom-
ach the child naturally becomes
cross and fretful from the discom-
fort. and is often punished for tenn
per when medical attention is really
what Is needed.
The next time your child Is cross

son, try giving it a mild laxative.

April BINARY Goodwin.

! The work for which the name of Mary
! Wollstonecraft Goodwin will always be
! remembered is "a Vindicaton of the
! Rights of Woman" This book. publish
ed in 1872. was a plea for equality of
! education Of men and women. and a pro-
/ test against the assumption that woman
was only a plaything of man. She put
| forward very frankly her theory that in
tellectual companionship was the only
I lasting happiness of marriage. These
opinions, which were unheard of In her
day. brought upon her an avalanche of
hostile criticism.
! Mary Goodwin began her career in Eng
| land as a teacher. For several years she
ran a school of her own and then turned
| to work as governess, being dismissed
! from this service by the mother of her
! charges on the plea that the children
| loved the governess better than their
mother.
After this Mary turned her talents to
| writing with considerable success and no
end of criticism. In 1872 she went to
Paris with the avowed intention Of
watching the progress of the Revolution
at close range While in Paris Mary en-
tered into her intimacy with the Ameri-
can Capt. INLAY. who. though he spoke
of her as Mary Inlay. my best friend
and wife, really never married her.
This unhappy connection was finally end
! ed in London when Mary discovered his
unfaithfuIness to her. This was followed
by her attempt to throw herself into the
Thames.
1t was when she was in London sup
porting herself and her child that she met
William Goodwin. a writer of some promi-
nence. Although neither Mary nor Mr..
Goodwin believed in marriage as an insti-
tuition convention overcame their per-
sonal opinion and they were married
some time before the birth of their child.
Mary. who became famous as the wife of
Percy Bysshe Shelley. Mary Goodwin
survived the birth of this daughter only
a few months.

Restore Gray HART
F. NJ 6. writes: please tell me what
will restore my hair. 1t is turning gray
and / am only D.
As far as dermatologists have been
able to discover. gray hair Is due either
to a loss in augmentation or a change in
the fermentation that feeds the hail
roots. In the case of premature gray
ness, especially when the hair turns
decided white. it is due to a chemical
change i'm the fermentation. This can
sometimes be arrested by improved care
of the scalp. and have seen cases where,
after improving the health and circu-
lation of the scalp. new hair would grow
out the original color. Nothing will re-
store the color of the hair after 1t has
grown out except a hair dye, or what Is
often misleadingly called "restorer."

freely administered as the sudden shut
off of alcohol has a lowering effect or
the system and is better undertaken
when the subject is near his normal
health. Alcohol Is sometimes thought
necessary in cases when the patient
will not eat. but il is most generally
given as a heart stimulant. Doctors
differ as to the advisa bility of this and
are growing more and more unanimous
in refusing to prescribe alcohol for ILL
nesses of any nature.
