NO UPSETS"
The proper treatment
for a bilious child
THREE STEPS

ANY 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 right
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 will succeed with
any child and lDith 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.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

with ease, so / set off towards the
clearing, for there, the night before,
1 had heard the song Of a rill.
When had found this, l bathed my
head and my hands, but before l had
finished this very simple toilet, Sabre
gave tongue beside me and then stood
moving his tail and looking the way l
had come.
A moment later my lady stepped out
Of the woods.
"Hows his back?" said Helena, TAX
ing her seat on a tree-stump.
"Stiff," said I, shut better"
crest is the medicine" says she.
"We simply must find a farm. Be-
sides, 1 want my breakfast"
"God send it you quick" said I. 1--WE
must go on walking east; but If after
half an hour we don't strike path or
something"
"rve struck one" says she. II don't
know where it leads to, but think we
might try and find out"
Nearly an hour had gone by when
we saw before us no farm, but little,
time-honored cottage, standing in a
glade of the forest, with a garden of
flowers about it.
Bread and milk" said Helena, turn
ing a glowing face. "And honey, per-
haps-there's beehive"
We were 40 PAGES away, when a
young woman entered the doorway and
stood looking into the garden alight
with the sparkling flowers. For a
moment she stared upon them. Then
she leaned against the jamb, put her
arm up to her eyes and began to weep.
Helena and I stopped dead.
Then
"You stay here" she said quietly,
"and I'll go on and see what the trou-
BILE is. Perhaps we can straighten 1t
out in return for a meal"
Twenty minutes went by before I
saw her again, and then she came out
of the garden with the lass that had
stood at the door. The latter was
smiling now.
For a moment the two stood speak
ing.
Then the woman dropped a curtsey
and started across the forest in evident
haste.
Helena beckoned to me, and got to
my feet.
AS l came towards her
"The trick" she said, "has been
done. Our hostess has gone for petrol,
and when she comes back in two hours,
she's going away for good-for three
days, at least, to Salzburg. Our host,
however, will remain: he's inside now,
in the very best of humors and finding
our use of his cottage an excellent
joke"
I followed her into the cleanest of
tiny kitchens, all bright with old wood
and copper and smelling of sweet
wood-smoke. Beneath the open win
dow a table was laid with our break
fast.
Sabre was lying on the flags in front
of the hearth, and pretty, fair.haired
baby that might have been two years
old was seated beside the Alsatian.
Helena sat down by the infant and
drew him on to her lap.
MAX" she said, this is my brother.
He's rather NICE"
Sand our host?" said l.
Helena looked up, laughing.
"This is our host" she said. ''If You
had any manners, you'd come and give
him a kiss"

car. without her we're tied by the Leg"
II shall come, too," said Helena.
"Sabre can mind the baby and keep
the house."
81 think" said !, shat you've done
enough today. You've fetched and car
ried and nursed me and played with
Max"
"Oh, John, why wasn't I born to a
life like this? The life lead Is
duty-and that's the truth"
"We're not born to idylls," said I
"We've no such luck"
Helena crossed her ankles and laced
her delicate fingers behind her head.
"D'you find it idyllic, too?"
IT tried to say so this morning."
Helena knitted her brows.
"Then you said it very badly" she
said. II thought you were jibbing at
being here alone with me-"
"For me, that's the idyll," said L
Helena turned her head and gave me
a dazzling smile.
It was when we had eaten our sup
per and the infant was fast asleep
that Sabre was given his orders and
we set out with the petrol to seek the
Rolls. The dusk would come in, I
judged, by the time we had crossed
the clearing and gained the track, and
that was just what we wanted, for so
we could use the daylight, yet be
wrapped In the cloak Of darkness by
the time we came to the road. For all
that, 1 was none too easy, for If, by
some evil chance, friend Pharaoh had
found the Rolls, his instinct might well
have suggested that we should return
at nightfall to try to recover the car.
And If he was lying there, waiting :.
The nearer we drew to the road, the
more 1 wished for Sabre, for he at
least would have saved us from walk
ing into trap.
Five minutes later, perhaps, the
darkness ahead was lightened, and /
knew we were approaching the road.
With my right hand upon my pistol,
I moved like any shadow along the side
of the track.
Arrived at it's mouth, waited, strain
ing my ears. SO perhaps for three
minutes. Then 1 stole round the corner
and on to the edge of the road.
The Rolls was gone.
I was up betimes the next morning
and had shaved and bathed and dressed
before Helena called to me to know If
was awake.
First came the caring for Max and
the preparation of our breakfast, which
occupied our time for about two hours.
In my note l had asked my cousin
to bring some food, but, in case he
brought with him no bread, Helena de-
cided to make some-a labor which
kept US busy till nearly noon. I judged
that my cousin would reach us by
five o'clock. And that would be the
end of my idyll; with his and Barley's
coming, my present estate, my king
dom, must be resigned, my lovely hour
would be over, and never so long as /
lived should ever be given another
that smelled so sweet.
From a covert which we selected we
could see the way to Witchcraft, yet

CHAPTER IV-Continued

If we were now in no peril, car case
was sorry enough. Stay withrthe Rolls
we dared not, for the chance that some
friend would come by before some enc
my seemed to us very slight. Helena's
brilliant plan was back in the melting
pot, for her nurse would have kept
her counsel, but we could not now
summon Godfrey until we were sure
of our host. And the Rolls had to be
recovered before we could move. {.
Over all, the knowledge that, until 1
was healed, was not only out of ac-
ton, but could not lift a finger if dan
ger arose, hung like thunder-cloud.
"Are you sure you can walk?" said
Helena.
"Comfortably," said l. Sand if 1 saw
Pharaoh coming, 1 quite expect could
run. The burning question is where to
look for a lodging that's not by the
side of this road"
Together, by the light Of the torch,
we studied the map. Upon this there
was shown farm, called Holy Tree.
So far as we could make out, it stood
some seven miles off.

"I see," said Helena, slowly. Then
she put up her hands and slid my coat

of my arms. you've got to change"
she said and, despite my protests, in
sisted on helping me into dry clothing.
'Now you lie STILL" said Helena, light
ing my torch. I'm going to get some
leaves"
Three times she went and came with
her coat full of dry leaves. These she
poured into hollow by the side of the
beech. / found there an ease of body
which / had not expected that night.
And she sat down behind me, with her
back to the trunk.

that the dawn was up.

Only Three Big League
Pitchers Topped $4,000

Without going into a historic incl
dent when an American league pitcher
(not with the Yankees) took such esti-
mates of salaries as correct, called his
business manager liar and then was
forcefully persuaded to apologize, there
is competent authority for the state
ment that only three big-time hurlers
ever have been paid more than $4,000
a season.
That have 1t upon the same CON-
petent authority that one of the hurl-
ers-and it is not Hubbell-is not a
matter of particular Importance. Yet,
taken along with the swollen incomes
supposed to be earned by prize fighters
who, on the average, are lucky when
they can make $1,000 a year, it does
provide some cause for thought.
Naturally this thought will be lost
upon the professional sports people as
well as upon the promoters of foot
bail universities who habitually over
estimate the size of their crowds by
10000 or so, and We: 1 have a sus-
picion that this continued speaking in
boxcar figures is an important indica-
ton of one Of the very great ills now
besetting such enterprises.
So far as the performers are con-
cerned, they grow so accustomed to
reading about such gorgeous purses
that they must become discouraged
when they discover that really they are
going to be paid only such sane sum
as the traffic will bear. 1t Is point,
If you will consider the amounts that
would have to be taken in at the gate
If such magnificent salaries were really
to be paid, that does not need any con-
siderable calculation.
Still, admitting that the main fault
perhaps lies with the newspapers,
am wondering whether the performers
and promoters who so ardently sup
port such ballyhoo have ever consid-
cred the effect upon the ultimate con-
sumer.

WARNING FOR
CHILDREN WHO ARE
ENTERING SCHOOL
DR.. Riley Recommends Prompt
Attention To Secure I'm
munity Against Disease

Here's a reminder from DR.. R. H
Riley, Director of the State Depart
men of Health to parents whose chill
dren will enter school this fall:
eff you haven't had your child vac
cinated against smallpox and pro-
tected against diphtheria be sure you
have both attended to, before you en-
ter your child in school.
eve have a State law-as nearly
every parent knows, which requires a
child to be vaccinated against small
pox, before the child may be received
in any public school in the State. Pro-
lection against diphtheria is not re-
quired by law, but all parents who
wish to safeguard their children a
gainst needless.suffering--and possible
death-are anxious to have it done.
Mothers are urged to have their
babies protected against these dis
eases before the babies are year old.
A great many of them have it attend
ed to. Unfortunately, all of us are in
clined to put off doing things. The
records of the examinations made of
five and six year Odds, at the child
health conferences in the counties,
during the summer, in preparation
for the enrolment of the children in
school this fall, show that this is par
ticularly true with respect to safe
guarding children against these dis
eases.
"Not vaccinated against smallpox"
was written against the names of half
of the children examined. AN equally
large number had not been protected
against diphtheria.
Through the enforcement of the
vaccination law, Maryland has been
able to keep an enviable record with
regard to smallpox. We have had only
one case of that disease in five years,
but it is still widely prevalent in many
other states--over 5000 cases have oc-
CURED in other parts of the country
in the last six months. Nobody who
is exposed to smallpox, is safe from
it unless he has been vaccinated a.
gainst it.
eve have an equally safe means of
protection against diphtheria in what
is known as TOXOID and we are be-
ginning to see the results of immuni-
cation against that disease in the
gradual decrease in the number of
cases reported. In 1881 there were
1903 cases of diphtheria reported in
Maryland, 1,OS7 of which occurred in
the counties. Last year we had 426
cases, BOT of which were reported
from the counties.
"We are looking forward to the
time when we will have as clean a
slate for diphtheria as we now have

Prior to the meeting, Senator Rad
cliffe was host to the Eastern Shore
editors and others at luncheon Civ
en- at the Atlantic Hotel. The object
of this was to precipitate a discus
sion as to the methods and needs of
the campaign, and to enlist the aid
of the press to insure Democratic VIC
tory. Owing to the lateness of the
hour at which this luncheon was start
ed rather hurried adjournment had
to be made for the meeting scheduled
for 2 o'clock. Enough was learned,
however, to indicate that the news
papers were ready for work and
would do their bit to bring about
healthy Democratic majorities.
The day was not without it's strict
ly social side. Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip
Dennis were hosts to prominent Wor-
cester countians attending the rally.
At their attractive cottage they SER
we'd some very satisfactory refresh
ments which helped to make an ex-
tremely pleasant ending to a perfect
day.

followed suit, and had many of the
notables at his home on Baltimore
Avenue, where good fellowship was
the order Of the hour.
The whole day was eminently sue
cessful and much credit is due the
committee for the rally, of which SEN
ator M. L. Veasey was Chairman.
The Party seems to be in mighty good
condition, and big victory in Novem-
Der is plainly forshadowed.

FIELD POTATO INSPECTOR
DATED FOR SOMERSET co.

Plans are being made, to make the
first field inspection of the late crop
/ of cobbler seed potatoes in Somerset
County, on September 18th.
DR.. R. A. Jehle, plant disease spec
ialist of the Extension Service will
inspect the potato fields for the sew
eral plant diseases which affect the
potatoes for seed.
The first field inspection is made
without charge and a second inspec-
ton is made a few weeks later for
certification for which a charge of
$1.00 an acre is made for the cost
of this service by the State Seed In
spection Service.
There is usually good demand for
Maryland home grown certified seed
potatoes and it will be advisable for
the potato growers to have their fields
inspected.
Potatoes will not be certified if
grown within 10 feet of another field
or patch of potatoes in which total
of more than per cent of the plants
have mosaic or similar insect borne
diseases.
Potato growers who wish to have
their fall crop of cobblers inspected
for certification, should make appli-
cation not later than September 10th,
to the county agent.

MARVA THEATRE
WILL PRESENT
GRAPHIC PICTURE
''TO Mary-With Love" Will
Open On August 81 And
Extend To Sept. l, 2.

Twentieth Century-Fox, the Holly
wood studio rapidly being recognized
as the outstanding picture-making
concern of the film industry, is point
ing with pride to it's forthcoming re-
lease, "To Mary-With Love-" open
ing August 81, September IL at the
Marva Theatre and hailed as the great
modern love story.
Based on Richard Sherman's highly
praised and widely discussed novel OF
the same title, "To Mary-With Love-
is a graphic, vital drama of modern
marriage.
Warner Baxter and Myrna 10y, the
sweethearts of broadway Bill' and
Penthouse" are reunited, with Ian
Hunter, Claire Trevor and Jean Dixon
also featured.
Opening in the hectic days of the
late 'twenties, with the marriage of
Baker and Myrna, the film reflects in
its love story the spirit of today.
Ian Hunter, Myrna's childhood play
mate, is best man at the wedding and,
if his eyes are little dim as Myrna
is clasped in BaXter's arms, his heart
is glad for the happiness she has
found.
Almost before the honeymoon is
ever, Baxter is involved in an affair
with Clair Trevor that then and there
almost ruins Myrna's happiness. But,
with gallant smile, she forgives the
entreating Baxter and they find that
their love has increased, rather than
diminished, through the incident.
AS Baxter becomes more and more
engrossed in amassing a fortune, Ian
Hunter sees the heart-break behind
Myrna's forced smile and simulated
gayety. When it becomes too much
for Myrna, and she is about to go a.
way with one of the numerous para
sites Baxter's wealth has attracted,
it is Hunter who persuades her to
stick with her husband.
Then, like thunderbolt, comes the
market crash and Baxter find himself
wiped out. Unable to comprehend,
unable to believe, he again fails Myrna
by not adjusting himself to the stu
alton.
Hunter snaps Baxter out of the dis
pondency into which he has fallen, and
the latter finally realizes that condi-
tions have changed-but that Myrna
loves him even more deeply.
Baxter obtains job as a clerk in
department store. On Christmas Eve,
while Myrna sits in their shabby little
house waiting his return with a cele-
bration dinner, Baxter is fired.
A chance meeting with Claire Ire
vor in a bar results in an all-night
party.
Myrna, the dinner hours old, tear
fully realizes that even their love has
failed to endure the years.
