No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless,
especially when few drops of plain
Castoria will right baby's stomach
and end almost any little ill. Fretful-
ness and fever, too; it seems no time
until everything is serene.
That's the beauty Of Castoria; it's
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste.
It's delicious! Being purely vegeta-
able, you can give it as often as
there's sign Of collie; constipation;
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat
ural sleep.
Just one warning: 1t is genuine
Fletcher's Castoria that physicians
recommend. Other preparations may
be just as free from all doubtful drugs,
but no child of this writer's is going
to test them! Besides, the book on
care and feeding Of babies that comes
with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its
weight in gold.

American Farmer" printed in 1882, he
called it "TEte Savage" a free trans
lation of which would be Indian sum-
mer." In this essay he said, "After
the fall of leaves, but before any
snowfall, comes a rainy period. Great
rains at last replenish the springs, the
brooks, the swamps and impregnate
the earth. Then a severe frost sue
ceeds which prepares it to receive the
voluminous coat of snow which is
soon to follow; though it is often pre-
ceded by short interval of smoke
and mildness, called the Indian sum-
mer. This is in general the invariable
rule: Winter is not said properly to
begin until these few moderate days
>>and the rising of the waters have an
nounced it to man."
Q The origin of the term, which is
most widely known, occurs in a book
printed several years later than
Crevecoeur's essay. This was DIR.
Joseph Doddridge's "Notes on the Set
Element and Indian Wars of the
Western Parts of Virginia and Penn
sylvania From 1853 to 1888" Dodd-
ridge traces the term back to early
colonial times when Indians still were
menace to the backwoods settlers.
All during the summer, settlers in
the more harassed sections had to
live behind stockades in constant
dread Of Indian raids. When the chill
blasts of winter came on, everyone
breathed a sigh Of relief. No longer
would the Indians attack. The sever
ity of the winter would prevent that
danger.
The hemmed-in settlers now took
to the open, going to their log cabins
outside with the joyful feeling Of
men released from prison.
1t happened sometimes, however,
that the welcome inclement weather
gave way to a few days of unseason-
able warm weather. This was called
Indian summer because it gave the
Indians another chance to wage de-
structive warfare against the colonists
once more.

it and the time when it
occurs. Most people will agree upon
the fact that it means a period of
warm weather in one of the three
months of September, October or No
vember and that it is characterized
by three peculiar elements: By
warmth greater than preceding days
or weeks, by tranquility of the at
mOSphere and by smoke and haze.
But when an attempt is made to pre-
dict a definite time for the appear
ance of Indian summer, then diverg-
ence of opinion begins.
Consult the dictionaries and you
will find that one such authority, the
Standard, says, "a period of warm,
dry, calm weather in late autumn
with hazy atmosphere" But Noah
Webster goes into more detail as fol-
lows: Indian summer: in the United
States, a period of warm weather late
in autumn, usually characterized by
clear sky, and by hazy or smoky ap-
pearance of the atmosphere, especially
near the horizon. The name is de-
rived from the custom of the Indians
to use this time in preparation for
winter by laying in stores of food, or
from their belief that it is caused by
wind blowing directly from the
court of the southwestern god" How
ever, he expands upon the theme by
giving two quotations, one from Free
man and the other from the National
Intelligencer, in regard to this season.
The first quotation from Freeman, is
as follows:
The southwest is the pleasantest
wind which blows in New England. In
the month of October, in particular,
after the frosts which commonly take
place at the end of September, it fire.
quently produces two or three weeks of
fair weather, in which the air Is per-
fectly transparent, and the clouds,
which float in the sky of purest azure,
are adorned with brilliant colors This
charming season is called the Indian
summer, a name which is derived from
the natives, who believe that it Is
caused by wind which comes imme-
diately from the court of their great
and benevolent god, Cautantowwit, or
the southwestern god.
The explanation from the National
Intelligencer also is based upon an
aboriginal custom. 1t says:
The short season of pleasant weather
occurring about the middle of Novem-
Der is called the Indian summer, from
the custom of the Indians to avail
themselves of this delightful time for
harvesting their corn. 1t is a bland
and genial time, In which the birds, in
sects and plants feel a new creation.
The sky in the meantime is generally
filed with a haze of orange and gold,
intercepting the direct rays of the sun.
yet possessing enough of light and heat

while the nights grow sharp and frosty
and the necessary fires give cheerful
forecast of the social winter evenings
hear at hand.
So here are two authorities dis
agreeing on both the time-One says
October and the other November-of
Indian summer and the reason for the
name. Perhaps the earliest known
reference to the term was that made
by Frenchman, st. John Creyecoeur,
In ITS when he was living at Pine
Hill, Orange county, N. Y. IN an essay.

"No member of the Shank works

you can be assured that they will

Other Changes
He intimated that other changes
