HoU Uncle Son1's Family
Has Groun in 14O Years
Population

er that it reached the mark of 105,-
71O,62O. Even though the doubling"
process which he prOphesied did not
continue consistently, there did take
place the amazing growth in the ma
ton of 5OOOO,OOO people in half a
century, or an increase in population
of 200 per cent.
So Tyler's prophecy was not SO ex-
travagant as it must have seemed
at the time. And when there Is taken
into consideration the steady increase
during the 142 years since John Adams
made known his vision, even his proph-
ecy does not now seem so fantastic.
The census bureau estimates that
there were 12O,O13,OO0 people living
under the Stars and Stripes on July l,
1923 and that the census of 1880 will
show population of approximately
132,000,000. So John Adams vision of
"2OO,OOO.OOO or 3O0,OOo,0O0 of freemen."
though still in the future, does not
now look so improbable.
Although Uncle Sans decennial
count of his children is not due to
begin for two years yet, the machinery
for accomplishing this huge task is
already in operation. Before congress
adjourned last May the house passed
the census bill and it will be taken
up promptly by the senate when con-
gress conveneS again in December. AS
it passed the house, the bill included
new feature in census enumeration,
that of accounting for retail and whole
sale distribution Of commodities. For
many years the government has col
Iected statistics in regard to the pro-
duction of commodities but none on
distribution. The inclusion of this
feature in the 1880 census bill was
suggested by Herbert Hoover, then
secretary of commerce, and if the SEN
ate passes the bill without eliminating
this innovation, it is believed that the
facts thus obtained will form the
foundation for a marked advance in
the efficiency of our marketing sys-
tenn.
The census will also assemble data
on the subjects of irrigation, drainage
and mines as well as including the
census bureaus biennial inquiry into

The Cigar Store Indians

We are asked what has become Of
the wooden Indians that used to stand
out in front of the cigar stores in the
cities. We suppose they have Joined
the movies and are used in the west
erns that thrill the very small boys
of today. Well never forget the first
wooden Indian in full wa. paint that
brandished his tomahawk at us when
we went to st. Louis to take in the
fair. We swung onto the Indian as
we came around the corner on Market
street near the old Union market and
our Adams apple will never come
nearer leaving us than it did when we
saw the uplifted tomahawk and the
set face of that wooden terror.-Cen.

THE STORY

Jim Stanley, New York busi-
ness man, orders his desk audi
phone taken to his home, intend
ing to finish his dictation there.
ROllo Waterman, his partner,
comes in. Both are in love with
Doris Colby. Stanley proposes
tossing a coin to determine which
shall first propose to Doris. Wa
terman wins. Nina Morgan, Wa
terman's secretary and mistress,
has overheard his conversation
with Stanley and resents Wa
terman's plan to desert her. Wa
terman says he is penniless and
must make a rich marriage. He
urges Nina to tell Doris that
Stanley has wronged her (Nina).
Doris admits to her father her
interest in both men, but is un-
able to decide which to marry.
Nina tells Doris her story, exact
ing a promise that Doris will
not tell the source of her in
formation. Doris is convinced OF
Stanley's duplicity and is bro
ken-hearted, realizing that it is
Stanley she loves. Waterman
proposes and Doris accepts him.
Stanley accepts the situation,
and as a wedding present gives
his share OF the business to Wa
terman. He arranges with his
secretary, Frank Wilson, to take
charge OF his other business in
terests. He is going to India.
Doris tells Waterman part of
Nina's story and he promises to
try" to find the girl Frank Will
son.. aware OF Waterman's crook
edness, leaves his employ. The
latter begins to importune Doris
for money. Bromfield, the gam
bier, is pressing Waterman for
payment OF gambling debts.

ulOus. Writing from London in 1856,
while he was minister to the court of
st. James, Adams said: 1T has ever
been my hobby horse to see rising in
America an empire of liberty, and
prospect of 2O0,OOO,OG0 or 100000, 900
| Of freemen without one noble or king
among them"
1t was John Tyler, tenth President
of the United States, blessed with
| similar vision, who made q similar
prophecy, though not so extravagant
| as Adams but at the same time doubt
full of fultillment, and missed his guess
| by only few years and a relatively
small number of millions of pOpula-
tion. In letter addressed to Col. Sam
| uel Gardiner of Shelter island, whose
son married Tyler's daughter, and
dated from the ex-President's country
seat, Sherwood Forest, Va, November
26, 1850, Tyler said: 'In little more
than half century, people who were
regarded as little better than a host
of murderers or sojouIners among saw
age tribes have attained position
among the first civilized powers.
"With spirit of adventure here
tofore unequaled by anything which
has occurred on the map of the world,
there is united deep plodding sagac-
tty which crowns the most daring en-
terprises with success. Such q peo-
pie, even had they attained that which
is denominated stationary condition
In regard to population, would not fail
to attract great and absorbing atten-
ton. But, when the reverse Is the
fact, when our pOulation is known to
double in every period of twenty-five
years, when having now a population
of 25,000,O00 that number, before the
child now in the nurses arms attains
maturity, is destined to reach nearly
5O,OOO,OOO, and before that same child
shall have passed the boundaries of
middle age, to 1OO,OOO,OOO."
Now that Uncle Sam is preparing
again to count his children, for prep
aratfOns for taking the decennial GEN.
sus in 1880 are already under way in
Washington, it is interesting to check
up on the predictions of these two
Presidents and see just how nearly
right they were. Although Tyler's
prophecy was bit too optimistic, he
was not far wrong AT the time his
letter was written the population of
the country was 23,26063S. He pre-
dicted that it would double in the next
20 years and although there are no
figures available for 1875 by 1880 it
had reached 5O,262,3S2. 1t had not
reached the 100,000,OOO mark by 1900.
as his prediction suggested for Uncle
Sans children then numbered 76.129,.

the state of manufacturing and the
tuTe. At the same time the bureau
will continue it's annual routine of
collecting statistics on births and
deaths, industrial and business condi-
tiOns, financial facts relating to the
cities I'd states and records of mar
riages and divorces.
The preliminary work Of mapping
out the territory for the 1880 census is
being carried on now under the super
vision of William NJ. Steuart, director
of the census. The first job is to get
description of all the political sub
divisions, some 100000, in the United
States and to obtain accurate maps
for use in designating the enumera-
tion districts. The count will be made
not only of the millions who live with
in the boundaries of the 4S states but
also in Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico.
The governors of Guam, Samoa, the
Virgin Islands, the Philippines and the
Panama Canal Zone will be directed
to take a census in the same year.
according to plans to be approved by
the director.
The actual count Of Uncle Sans
children will begin on May /, 1880,
and it is expected that the statistics
on the total number will be available
by December of that year. Then will
begin the enormous task of classifying
and compiling the facts obtained in
the enumeration and this will be ham

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, Indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugsi

Double this time elapsed, however,

Acidity

The common cause of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk of
Magnesia.
One spoonful of this delightful prep
aration can neutralize many times its
volume in acid. 1t acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened.
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-
member it is just as good for children,
too, and pleasant for them to take.
Any drug store has the genuine, pre-
