DOES YOUR BABY
SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT?

Baby's sleep is important. At night
baby sleeps about nine-tenths of the
time and should take a daily nap until
about four years old A quiet, peace
ful sleep is a sign of perfect health
while disturbance of sleep is almost
always due to improper feeding,
which causes Indigestion, constipa-
ton, sour stomach, gas, etc.
A baby specialist, while admitting
that a good baby laxative should be
used in such cases, warns mothers
against the use of strong, irritating
drugs that cause inflammation of the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach, and recommends "Baby Ease"
a perfected baby laxative by a baby
specialist.
Baby Ease" is excellent for all
disorders of the stomach and diges-
ton in babies and children. 1t is
easy-acting. non-irritating does not
produce over-action or leave baby
constipated 1t is a safe, harmless
and efficient baby laxative and cor
rective If BABY Ease" fails to
correct these troubles after a few
doses, take your baby to a specialist
for a thorough examination. Baby

mostly for lesser ailments, within the

Who is this man Riley? Well, he's

He was born at Caldwell, Texas, So
years ago, and his father, DR.. John S.
Riley, was frontier physician of the
old school, and as surgeon served in
both the Mexican and Civil wars.
Young Riley studied, to fit himself
for medical profession, first at
Becker College, then at the Univer-
sity of Texas and Columbia.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Making
the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the
halt and the bed-ridden to leave their
invalid chairs and couches and go for
a stroll in the parks or return to
work, is the everyday business of Joe
Shelby Riley. of Washington.
Although described by those who
have benefited by his cure as a
Miracle Man." Riley doesn't claim
there is anything miraculous about
them. He doesn't profess any super
natural powers. He hasn't any di-
vinely bestowed gift"
His cures are simply the result of
science and skill and hard work, as
sisted by full knowledge of the hu-
man body and long experience-not
in "curing"-but in removing the
causes responsible for human afflic-
tiOnS.
Riley is a graduate NJ. D., but he
doesn't give any medicine. He is a
graduate osteopath, but he doesn't
practice osteopathy. He is also a
Doctor of Mental Science, of Mech
ano-Therapy, Chiropractic, Theolo-
gy and Phrenology.
Physicians Send Him Patients.
1t is perhaps through a combina-
tion of all these ologies and isms that
he has developed the knowledge and
skill tLat has enabled him to perform

CITY COMFORTS
FOR FLLNTSIDE
Electric Light, Water
and Sewerage Plant To
Be Installed There

Citv convenienceS are to be en-
loved by the superintendent, H. A.
Bailey. and other connected with the
pecan plantations of the National
Pecan Growers Association at Flint
side. Announcement is made that an
order has been placed for a DelcO-
LIGHT electric light and water sys-
tenn. which will be Installed shortly
in the superintendent's home, sew
eral other homes on the property and
the barns and other OutbulIdlngs. In
addition a modern septic tank sewer
age system is to be Installed with the
electricity and running water, pro
viding up-to-date improvements. The
contract for the system was entered
into with H. X. Ertzberger, local
Delco-Light representative.
This is one more Sumter county
rural place modernized," said Mr..
Ertzberger yesterday. However,
people have only begun to realize the
possibilities of removing the drudg-
cry and unattractiveness of rural
farm life by these modern improve
ments. Washday on the farm has al
ways been one of the hardest for the
farm wife. Then, if ever, she has
mere things to do than even her will
ing and able hands can accomplish in
a single day. So on that day she
wants and needs every bit of assis-
tance she can get.
"In the old days when every bit OF
water had to be pumped by hand,
when hours had to be spent bending
over the tub-rubbing, rubbing, rub
bing, when the ironing had to be done
with the old-fashoned fiat iron that
needed red hot stove even in mid
summer, washday meant the worst
sort of drudgery for the farm wife.
But within the last few years modern
home improvements have made this
sort of thing unnecessary. A new
washday has dawned for farm
men.
With light the little electric plant
has brought power too, and perhaps
it, most valuable use is found on
washday. In the first place an cleo
trio pumping system draws water
from the well or cistern, puts it un-
der pressure in a tank, and so deliv-
ers it at faucets in the kitchen. And
8 heater delivers it hot, too. Then
a i tie electric motor turns the wash
ms machine and the wringer. And
a. electric iron, always at the right
temperature, does the ironing quick
ly and well. There's still work on
washday, but it's much easier. The
dcudgery is gone

After Johns Hopkins-Riley.
Mrs. Nancy Darby, Of Baltimore,
was suffering from paralysis She
had spent SIS. 600 in two years with
the biggest specialists in the east.
At Johns Hopkins hospital, perhaps
the most famous medical institution
in this country, they held out no hope
for cure. Then she tried Riley
Today Mrs. Darby, who is now liv-
ing at 1854 Columbia road, Washing
ton, takes her daily walks, attends
social functions and sees a life of
activity and usefulness opening be-
fore her again.
Thomas H. Herndon, a Washington
musician, was hampered in his pro-
fession for seven years by deafness
in one ear Riley restored his hear
ing in less than a month.
And so the list goes. These might
be multiplied over and over.
The curing Of organic ailments is
not the sole scope of Riley's activi-
ties. He has demonstrated that he
can, without medicine, cope with
germ diseases as well. He treated
several hundred cases of "fu," dur
ing the epidemic two years ago-and
did not lose patient.
He took the case of j. l.. Handy,
a Washington department store clerk,
who had been told by physicians that
he had far-advanced case of pull
monary tuberculosis and less than a
month to live. That was four months
ago. Today Handy is back at his
counter in Washington's biggest de-
partment store. board of health Off
GERS having certified that he has two
perfectly good lungs.
Even Affections of age seem to dis
appear under the healing touch of
Riley's fingers.

Folk, a farmer and stockraiser living
near Rushville, Fairfield county, has
completely recovered the sight OF ms
right eye as a result of treatment by
DR.. Joe Shelby Riley, Of Washington
who is being hailed as the miracle
man.
Folk is a first cousin of former
Governor Joseph Folk, of Missouri.
Folk back in Ohio again, IS loud
in his praises Of Riley.
One day last summer Folk SAID

me that cataract had formed over

under Dr. Riley's care.

twisting my neck and spine and on
succeeding visits he rubbed my eyes.

own ailments.
The latest "cure" to bring sRiley
into the limelight is the restoration
of the sight of George W. Folk, Rush
vile, Ohio. wealthy farmer and stock
man. Folk was entirely blind in one
eye.
He was brought to Washington by
DR.. V. NJ. George, 1886 North Hight
street, Columbus, o. He was under
Riley's care for one week, receiving
daily treatments.
Result: Sight restored and new
declarations by Folks friends of a
'Twentieth Century Miracle"
The cure of Folk doesn't especially
interest Riley, however. Such cases
are part of the regular days work
with him. More interesting, for in
stance, was the combined cure of
blindness and goiter in the case of
Miss Catherine Taylor, of Berwin,
Md, a Washingto nsuburb.
Miss Taylor, a pretty girl in her
late teens, had been blind in her right
eye since childhood Two years ago
a bad goiter began to develop. An
operation might successfully remove
the goiter, physicians said. As to the
eye, no one ever held out any hope
for that
Finally Miss Taylor's parents heard
of Riley 1t wouldn't do any harm to
try him, anyway, they agreed 1t
didn't.
Today Miss Taylor has two per
fectly good eyes, as you can see by

Detective oakes.

The Office Of the Paul j. Snyder De-
tective agency had grown In the course
Of half a dozen years from single
room 10 a palatlal suite fall Of pol
ished wood, clicking typewriters, and
other evidences OF success. Where
once Mr. Snyder had sat and waited
for clients and attended TO those
clients on the rare occasions when
they arrived In person, he now sat In
his private office and directed a corps
Of assistants.
His cap was no longer In his hand,
and his time at the disposal OF any
who would pay modest fee. He was
an autocrat who accepted or refused
cases at his pleasure.
He had just accepted a case. II
seemed TO him case that might be
nothing at all or something exceeding
ly big; and on the latter possibility he
had gambled.
The fee offered was. judged by his
present standards OF prosperity, small !;
but the bizarre facts. coupled with
something in the personality Of the
client, had won him over; aud he
touched the bell and desired that Mr..
oakes should be sent In TO him.
Elliott Oakes was a young man who
amused and interested Mr.. Snyder,
He was so Intensely confident. He
had only recently joined the staff. but
he made very little secret of his In
tention Of eiectrifying and revolution.
