FOR A CONSTIPATED CHILD
A small dose of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will bring
quick relief.

MOTHER, when one of the
N1 children is constipated are
you going to give the first lax
alive within reach? II is dan
gerous to do so. Some have
been known TO rupture the
intestines of little children.
Don't be beguiled by the out
side sugary appearance. Look
into the formula. Calomel is
seldom necessary; salts,
minerals, coal tar, never!
Unlike these, DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is admirable for
children, as it is for grown
people. too. Mothers have
been giving it to children for
80 years. They know it does
not grippe, and is free from
narcotics. The formula is on
every package, and you can

SEES WOMEN RULE WORLD
French Professor Makes Prophecy
That May or May Not Cause Feel

Old maids are going to rule the world
within another generation, and when
that happens all sensible men, looking
for happy existences, will try to fee
this earthamd try out the planet Mars.
This is the opinion OF Professor Cir
Quilt probably The bestknown French
authority In political economy, who
addresses his beliefs to the University
Of poltiers.
"Women are going TO assume lead
ership, particularly in Europe, for the
next hundred years" Professor Circuit
says. "rhls does not mean that civ
llizatlon is becoming efremlnatc nor
does It result simply from the fact that
women win be numerically stronger
But there are too many women for the
marriageable males and hundreds OF
thousands Of them are being compelled
to make ll-assorted marriages in
which the man, In nearly every case,
is the weaker partner
I'm that way women are ginning the
ascendency and It is certainty that
any society ruled by women will lack
Intellectual courage, logic and lnitla-
tive. Women married to men who are
their interiors will become emblttered
with life. Their experience will dis.
