Simple Inexpensive Remedy Check
Early Tendency to

About the first thing impressed on
the young Mother is the necessity for
regularity in her baby, which brings
up the question OF the most desirable
laxative for children's use.
Mrs. Jesse Richardson. Philpot. KY.
says she has used DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin for the past year and that
there is no medicine IN the world like
1t. She writes, my little son, VIII
liam, Jr., just loved 1t because it is
SO pleasant to take. and everybody
talks about his being such fine
healthy boy"
DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin is a
compound OF simple laxative herbs,
free from any opiate or narcotic drug
and is the standard remedy for con-

throughout the land. Drug stores
everywhere sell It for fifty cents a

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
BE Moderate In Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight. Take Oil OF
Korein.

Lack Of fresh air 1t is said weakens
the oxygen carrying power OF the
blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat
accumulates and the action of many
Of the vital organs are hindered there
by. The heart action becomes weak,
work is an effort and the beauty OF the
figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is I'M
healthy and il nature Is not assisted
in throwing 1t of a serious case OF
obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't walt until your figure
has become a joke and your health
ruined through carrying around q bur-
den of unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you pos
sibly can in the open air; breathe
deeply. and get from Wilkinson & Co..
or any druggist box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after each meal
and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is alb
solutely harmless, is pleasant to take,
helps the digestion and even a few
days treatment has been reported to
show a noticeable reduction in weight.

Creator.-Dr. A. c. Stevens
This is Arbor day--the day officially set
apart for the planting of trees 1t is quite
probable that the day has not been noted 1or
the extraordinary observance of the DEGREES OF
state executives. 1t is so easy not to plant
trees. and it is likely that most people, even
of those who see the need of trees, have been
taking the easier way. But some trees have
been planted-and for so much we ought to be
thankful
Over forty years ago-in April, 1872, to be
exact, the first Arbor day was called INTO
existence 1t was J. Sterling Morton, later
secretary of agriculture, who Instituted Arbor
day Nebraskan he saw the need OF trees
on the praires of his state. At his suggestion,
ee-planting was made statewide duty ana
diversion The result was that millions OF
trees were planted in Nebraska in the next few
years. The observance of the day spread, I'M
til it has become an almost nation wide custom
to plant trees on the day officially designated.
1t is still good thing to plant tree The
necessity is not so great as when j. Sterling
Morton inaugurated the official custom. But II
still exists. Besides, it is SO much easier to cut
down tree than to plant one that if tree-plant
ing were not encouraged generally there
would be no antidote for tree destruction.
Don't fear that there'H be too many trees
planted

Plants hope:
Rootlets up through fibers blindly grope'
Leaves unfold into horizon free;
So mans life must climb
Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree
What the glory of thy boughs shall be?

Plants comfort that will never cloy;
Every day fresh reality,
Beautiful and strong,
To whose shelter strong
Creatures blithe with song.
If thou couldst but know, thou happy tree.

He who plants tree
Plants peace.
Under its green curtain jargons cease;
Leaf and zephyr murmur soothingly;
Shadows soft with sleep
Down tired eyelids creep,
Balm OF slumber deep.

Vigor won for centuries. in sooth

He tried it last year and the gang
killed him almost to death for being

CLEANUP.

CLEANUP.
Now let US give the war rest,
The rout, the siege, the sally,
And gayly she'd our coat and vest.
And go and clean the alley!
Let's gather up the dogs and cats
Which have this life departed.
And let tin cans and bricks and hats
OFF to the dump be carted.
In the winter you may voice your
views,
Which you believe important,
And base long sermons on the news.
But in the spring you'd ortn't.
Then every ablebodied man
Should whoop the "Clean Up" slo.
gan,
And chase the old tomato can,
I The cast-off hat and brogan.
So let us clear our bullying brows
OF trifling thoughts and narrow
And gather up the old dead cows,
/ And work the rake and harrow.
The rubbish left by careless men,
And lazy human cheeses,
VIII bring a host of germs again,
And they'll bring punk diseases.
And forty billion flies will come.
AS many microbes bearing,
And round our weary heads they'll
hum,
And keep us busy swearing.
Clean up! Clean up! On every block
Let all the workers rally!
No man should stand around and
talk
Until he's cleaned his alley

M,Apoos DIsCoURTEsY.

William g. McAdoo has proved that he can
be as much out of place at thousands OF miles
distance as he would be right at his desk at
Washington. Reports of his conduct at the
Peruvian port of Calao indicate that he has
gone down there to no other purpose than to
inflict gratuitous affront on the Peruvian
government
From the scanty information now available
lit appears that Mr.. McAdoo and the other
members of the international high commission,
sent from the United States to discuss matters
of trade with the Peruvian officials, entered
ICallao harbor aboard the cruiser Tennessee
and instead of landing and going up to Lima
turned around and steamed out again, leaving
a luncheon at the capital to grow cold while
eli ghty five notables gathered to do the honors
were put to the indignity of a vain and hu-
initiating wait.
| Whether the McAdoo party really feared to
catch plague in Calao or whether some ,ul-
terror reason existed for the change Of plans,
the tactlessness of the whole proceeding. IN
Ivolving the national good name for courtesy
and the prospects of lucrative trade advan-
Itages. is little less than atrocious. Nothing is
more offensive than a blunder arising from
sighting disregard for the kindly feelings OF
others. The AlcAdoo blunder was Of this most
offensive kind 1t threatens to go great way
toward destroying all the benefit accrued 10
the United States from the tour OF Root. The
administration should send down another war
ship to Callao with a presentable American
citizen aboard to make amends and prove that
Mr.. McAdoo's discourtesy is not the nations.
Trouble, trouble, double trouble. Great
Brit tain is having more than her share OF strife,
now that the Irish nationals have given her q

which she voluntarily entered. Should the

The Burlington Gazette says that in spite

appears to be causing no great furore among
the rank and file of Burlington people of either

lington newspapers expression Of alleged fact
is born of its wish to think in the way it views
the suffrage situation in its home city In a
sentence of special pleading, cunningly di-
rected to the end that suffrage work may be
discouraged in Burlington. The Gazette says:

There is so much of fact contained in the
Gazette's paragraph that misstatements there
In based either on wrong conclusion or distor-
ton Of facts leave the unthinking reader in a
position that may seem to require the admis

little error. But it would not require brainv
suffragist either male or female, or one having
the great reasoning ability of Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait to at once puncture the fallaci
