Parents Should Know
this Splendid Remedy
Simple LaNafiUe Compound Helps
10 Correct Constipation
in Children

With all children there times when
the bowels fail to act naturally and 1t
becomes necessary for the parents TO
administer a remedy. Cathartics AMI
purgativcs should never be used as
these agents afford Cnly temporary
relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva
r. Gaff, 5i7 10Th ST.. Washington, -.
c.. says that her little girl, Marie, had
been subject to constipation, and that
she found Dr. CGldwell's Syrup Pepsn
the best remedy because of its mild
ness. and now always keeps a bottle
of 1t in the house
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsn is a
compound OF simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs
of any kind, and is an ideal remedy
for children because of its mild action
and positive effect. Its use tends TO
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.
1t is important that parents should
know of a dependable remedy with no
unpleasant after effects, gripping or
strain.

Gay when God shall constitute as
Judges the elect souls of all he years,
men whose intellect snail be without
error, whose judgment shall be with

weigh mans work and test it? Every
man shall give his account unto the
spirit Of just men made perfect.
Think what this would mean to Paul

to Scott and Shelly. to Turner ana

as to be almost uncomfortable. OFTEN
rough in his language, harsh in his

yet in other moods. Martin Luther
was all kindness and gentlencss, all

some day make Martin Luther, the

Just man. but when he was reused
Carlyle could smlte men with witker-

least apportions its rewards. But Of
the men of old we can only say that
they have been brutally misiudged
during their life. The last century
caused almost every one of the great
est men of Engldnd-the men whose
hearts were kindest and whose spirits
were most receptive of the work OF
God-to die without hope.
AS TO the way the noblest souls arc
produced, Lowell says:
Disappointments dry and bitter root,
Fnvys harsh berries and the choking
pool
Or the worlds scorn are the right
mother milk
10 the tough hearts that pioneer their
kind.
But Ruskin denies Lowolrs state
ment. affirming that love and trust
are the only mother milk of any great
mans soul. so far as ho is hated
and mistrusted. his powers are de-
stroyed. AS the flower Is gnawed by
frost, 30 every human heart is gnawed
by faithlessness, as surely as the bud

"i' aS,ouh. oHtil oic udy NC required
OF society"
Concerning the noblost souls of
every age and cline. as well as Of
the meanest, we can only say that the
prophets and men of vision have been
stoned to death, while the men who
have done least for their fellow man
have been housed in palaces. crowned
with wreaths, ancelebratcd in mar
ble. Martneau thinks that no justice
can be expected by the men who have
really helped society forward, until
after the lapse OF ages---when "the
scourseS of mankind are escorted to
death by voices OF adulation, while
the bencfactors, hunted and hooted
out OF life, are first reinstated like
exiles recalled. when only their ashes
can be brought home In monuments
they never see, and the chorus of
homage which they never hear" If
this be true what misfortune can be
greater for the man who loves his
fellowmen and serves them than to
commit himself to the favor or dis
favor OF public opinion, and In
world where "the guides. the saints
and the redeemers of men have been
poisoned in Athens. tortured In Rome,
burned in Smithiield, crucified in Je-
rusalem."

hood and Love.

OF the promised judgment scat, where
men are to be tried by the noblest
souls made perfect through dwelling

night reason ascends the throne,

mcnt prosccutes the case. conscience

ers like Shakespeare tell us that there
is no penalty so heavy. Witness Mac

away from his black deed. Witness
his beautiful queen. Time can not

wipe away the stain even in her

chill the memory, and old deeds be
hidden in the damp and mist of for

CRY will bring all back again. II is
the very nature of conscience that 1t
compels the memory to bring up OUT
of the sea of oblivion these old deeds
and these forgotten wrongs that soon
or late they may be righted
But conscience Judges 1T does not
forgive. The chemist can detect the
poison. he can not pardon the poison

wound. Conscience holds up n glass
before the soul and tells the story,

called--go beforehand into judgment:
other mems deeds follow after Men,
