There IS also a story that the Persians are said to require seven maids to prepare the dough for good luck to the happy pair
 We, too of this day have little sayings such as if a maiden wears piece of brides cake in her pocket until the honeymoon is over, she will be married before the dress is worn out.
 Also, if maiden eats piece of cake left in the plate by the bride she will be married soon.
 Still another is that at the first we'd ding in the family piece of cake must be kept m the house until all the unmar- ried daughters wed or else they might be doomed to be old maids.
 It is said that in some villages of Flu rope the bride gives her wedding cake to the poor for good luck.
 Everyone knows the little sayings that go with the different trinkets drawn from the wedding cake: the thimble sig nifies unmarried state; the ring, prospect of marriage; the wishbone, allowing any wish to be made and the penny or dime promising riches are the interesting ac- compartments to the wedding even if not held in stanchest faith.
 Among interesting wedding already announced for June is that of Miss Helen Jackson and MT Robert Mcclure; Miss Louis Stella Smith and MT. G. w. Gates; Miss Carrie Levert Haigler and C. w. Gates of Pittsburg; Miss Helen Alexander and MT. Lester Lee of Maryland; Miss Amelia Gaudin and MT. David Fox; Miss Gertrude Smith and MT. J. K. Orr; Miss Sadie Frances Epstein and MT. Isadore Enge; Miss Virginia Rachel Holmes and MT George B. Miller, and many others.

 The call of Europe is again abroad and it seems to be needed here, as nearly every day are heard the names of prom- nent people who will tour the continent this summer.

MORRIS ST. MOTHER STATES
THERE is NO BETTER TONIC
FOR CHILDREN THAN PEPGEN

by the way Pepgen relieved my son
of stomach distress know it is fine for
children" states Mrs. W. i. Wheatley,
902 E. Morris St, Indianapolis.
And l can conscientiously recommend
It to other mothers because it does not
contain alcohol or other strong drugs.
MY son had a bad stomach for about
three years. He also complained of a
pain in the small Of his back. His ap-
petite was very poor.
II was told that Pepgen would be a
good medicine for him, so I obtained a
bottle and began giving him the tonic.
He is much improved. He has a wonder
full appetite and his stomach does not
appear TO hurt him in the least"
One of the greatest mistakes that a
parent can make is to neglect looking
after a child's digestion. The tissue of 4
child's body are very delicate. They have
not acquired the powers of endurance
