Why do so many, many babies Of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even a distaste-
full dose Of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign of collie; or constipation; or
diarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, a few
drops of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletchers.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is
worth its weight in gold.

Why did Charles Lindbergh stir two
continents to the widest frenzy of
hero worship ever accorded single
human being? Why do we mob mo-
tiOn-picture stars, go mad over the
first woman channel swimmer and
idolize baseball celebrities and boxing
champions? Why did hero worship
erupt unanimously at the death of
Valentino, while the simultaneous
passing of great educator like
Charles w. Eliot attract only meager
interest? Why, for that matter, did
thousands cluster on the street cor
ners of New York just to watch the
passing of a condemned murderess on
her way to Sing Sing; and why did
other crowds fight their way into the
ceurtroOms to catch glimpse of

Younger Indians Turn
From Faith of Fathers

Sixty or seventy years ago the Fox
Indians of Iowa began the acquisition
of the English alphabet from mission
aries. They learned a method Of
writing their own language by means
of the English alphabet, separating
their words into syllables. Since
there is only a rough conformity be-
tween the characters as employed by
the Fox Indians and the actual
sounds, it is necessary to restore the
phonetics of any Fox text SO that the
symbols may correctly represent them.
DR.. Truman Nicholson, Of the Smith
sonian Institutions Bureau Of Ameri-
can Ethnology, has been foremost in
this work of collection and restor-
alton.
Doctor Nicholson, whose work has
made him the foremost authority on
the Fox Indians, describes their rit-
uals as consisting mainly Of eating,
dancing and prayer. AS is natural
with a primitive people, their prayers
invite material benefits such as long
life, freedom from disease, that the
chiefs village should be strong enough
to resist its enemies, and that no foe
should even be permitted to gossip
against the village.
According to Doctor Nicholson, the
younger generation now turn these
once serious ceremonies into occa-
sions for amusement. Up to some Is
years ago the tribe was so conserv-
alive as to resist education, but 1t has
since grown progressive and all the
young Indians are anxious to go to
school. The tribe are good farmers
and compete with the whites In the
state agricultural fairs.
