WASHINGTON, July 23.-Milton
Elrods retirement from the National
Democrat, predicted two weeks ago
when the magazine failed to come
from the press, today became an
established fact.
Elrods Indiana Khan connections
were too heavy a burden for the
new party organ to bear. He is still
financially interested in the paper
but only until such time as his in

other publisher.
Robert T. Scott, Washington

and make it a real national Demo
cratic organ. Until he succeeds, no

Only a few hours before 1 had left
the strife and struggle of a big city
and here within few miles of that
city I had found that dear old lady
and her daughter living quietly and
contentedly among their flowers and
their antique furniture, furniture
which would be coveted by many a
collector but which to them were
just ordinary things that father had
used, but priceless in their memoir
les. Truly my call at the Jackson
home had been restful one and it
was with a sense Of appreciation
for the look had had into their
peaceful lives that turned from the
home back into the hurry burly Of
the highway.
I decided to make Charlottesville
by night. This ambitious idea had
just possessed me when I noticed the
clouds in the sky and heard a clap
of thunder, but arrived at Craw-
louisville in spite of the storm and
will tell you all about it tomorrow.

trOt his black pony against her fol-

only notice he at first received. How
ever, the knight Of the cleaver per-
sisting in his original offer, the bet
was accepted, and the next morning
appointed for the match, four miles
out of the town. The butcher appeared
at the starting post mounted on his
black pony with his tray In front Of
him and brandishing a small marrow
bone. He was allowed the start. when
Immediately afterward, as his comped-

tied a flourish upon his tray, which
had the instantaneous effect Of fright
ening the high-mettled mare into a gal-

and as often, according to the eti-
Quette Of trotting matches, was the too
hasty mare obliged to stop and turn
round. Thus, ultimately, the blaCR

PUBLIC SALE

The season for holding public
sales is now here If you are con-
sidering holding sale this month
your first thought should be to
get a crowd to the sale.
In order to get a large gathering
of persons it is necessary to put
your sale advertisements before
a large number of persons.
For years THE SMYRNA TIMES
has made a speciality of public
sale advertising in season, with
the result that THE TIMES has
become the public sale advertis-

No matter where you live in up

can interest buyers to your farm
on sale day. The crowd is what
you desire and what you must
have if your sale is to be a sue

We grant that there are some
newspapers in both Kent and
New Castle Counties which would
be glad to have your business, but
if your public sale is in this vicin-

will pay you. THE TIMES covers
a splendid farming territory in

ABDOMINAL PAIN IN
CHILDREN

TX7HEN your baby wakes you up
Wv by crying in the middle of the
night and tells you, If it is old enough
to talk, that 1t has pain in its stom.
ach, what is the matter with it?
Pain in the abdomen occurs more
frequently in children than in adults.
The infant cannot tell you what the
pain is like or where it is located.
1t may not even be old enough to tell
you that it has pain at all and you
can only judge by its actions. Gen.
orally 1t will do no more than vague.
ly point at its stomach as the loca-
ton of the pain. Often it will not
even allow a careful examination.
Yet many of the conditions which
cause abdominal pain in children re.
quire prompt and definite treatment
Collie is perhaps the most common
cause of abdominal pain, especially
during the first three months of life.
Collie usually occurs at the same time
every day, generally in the afternoon
or evening. The pain is sharp, comes
on suddenly without warning, and
generally disappears as quickly. The
child has no fever and often no other
symptom except the pain. Collie is
due to overstretching of the stomach
or intestines by food, gas or air. or
to the production Of gas in the in
testines, caused by improper food OF
food which is subject to fermentation.
Collie generally appears during or just
after feeding and is. frequently re-
heved by unloading the stomach or
by the escape Of gas.
So-called collie, however, may be
due to a number Of other conditions.
1t may be caused by hunger. over.
feeding, or too frequent feeding, In.
digestion from improper foods. con-
stipation, too much clothing, or too
heavy covering, too tight clothing, IT.
ritation from pins In the belly band,
or chatting and irritation Of the skin.
These causes are temporary and
comparatively harmless. A much
more serious condition is obstruction
of the bowels from one part Of the in
testine being telescoped into the 9th.
er. Such a condition is comparative
ly common in infants. In such cases
blood is often passed in the stools or
vomited. The pain, while not severe,
is continuous. The muscles Of the
abdomen are tense and there Is
usually sausage shaped lump which
may be felt through the abdominal
wall. This condition is exceedingly
dangerous. No time should be lost in
calling capable physician.
Pneumonia frequently starts with
abdominal pain so that it is always
well in cases of sudden and severe
pain in infants to have the chest care
fully examined. Appendicitis Is also
quite common among children and lie
always accompanied by pain low
down in the abdomen. Rupture causes
a persistent pain In the abdomen
which is not relieved by regulating
the food.
Abdominal pain in children should
not be treated lightly.
