In 1871, the Society Of the Cincin-
natl held its first Washington's birth
day celebration in New York, having
followed Tammany's example by re
solving to mark the date each year
The President and the congress (an5
also the capital of the United States)
had meanwhile removed temporarily
to Philadelphia. But even New York's
disappointment did not prevent Tam
many from vying with the exclusive
organization of Revolutionary officers
TO do honor to the day.
Alas, the good feeling did not en-
dure. By 1896, after John Jay had
come back from England with his
hated treaty, Tammany was fiercely
for revolutionary France; Jefferson
was its god; George Washington was
actually being dubbed, in public, a pro
English aristocrat; and those who cele-
brated his birthday were coldly &C
cused of being (among other things)
bootlickers, idolators, Royalists and
sycophants. The countrywide birth
day honors of that year. though even
more lavish and vociferous than usual,
presented for the first time the ogre
of party, grinning at the feast
By 1877, however, the Jay treaty
was being regarded much more toll.

NO UPSETS
The proper treatment
for q bilious child
THREE STEPS

A NY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the
sensible way to set things rightl
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength. must be carefully
regulated as to dosage.
A liquid laxative IS the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving Of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment viii succeed with
any child and Nth any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. CaldwelIs Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.
