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 OWL
accord and need no help.
This treatment will 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.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

privileged to visit him in his famous

"a select club of Wings" and drank to
Washington, and hailed him with song
and sonnet and defamation.
The date thus far widely honored
was February II. Washington was
born on February II, 1872, according
to the British calendar usages then
officially in vogue. Nineteen years
later Britain adopted the Georgian in
place of the Julian calendar But
the ancient dates often stuck, and it
is not until 1890 that we find Washing
toms birthday-his first as President
being celebrated on the twenty-second
of February instead of the eleventh
by the Tammany society Of New York.
Tammany in 1890 was patriotic,
anti-aristocratic, charitable and am

Mothers now face vacations, which, although they smack of magic to the children, don't thrill their matters any too much. Up late, meals delayed, calling every second to locate the venturesome, patching up quarrels and nothing in order. Thus the picture unfolds itself for the summer ahead.
 Vacation time is always hard on mothers. Gone are the long peace- ful hours; gone the quiet in which baby so peacefully slept his quota. Doors slamming, things torn up, clothes never right, and eternal capacities to be appeased to odd hours. Is 1t any wonder we hunt up calendars to see how long we have to grin and bear 1t?
 Yet the children aren't to blame. They put in the days as best they can and after the first flush of free- dom wears off, they are as bored as anybody.

 Cleveland, June 2.--Nearly 800 women delegates, including 62 mem- bers of the Republican national committee, will descend on the norn- mating convention in Cleveland, de- terInined to play a more active part than ever before in the party's dee Alterations.
 A swarm of 10000 women, wives of male delegates, and visitors with keen interest in politics, is expected to lend tone to this convention, the 18th in which women have taken an active part since the first women ate tended the g.op. convention in 1892 as alternate delegates.
 Although there is always a good deal of the social aspect to the part women take in these national con- ventions, the pink tea" part will be played down in Cleveland. A recent get-together of g.o.p. national com- lnitteewomen from IS states in Chi cago guaranteed that they aim to take real part in platform-Enaking and party administration.

 But there is one warning, one word want to impress upon every parent. If the report of your child's test says "positive," don't be panicky. A positive test does not always mean that active tuber- cnlosis is present. Only the X-ray and the physicinn's examination can determine the true facts.
 Every teacher and school nurse should learn the meaning of the tuberculin test in order to interpret It's true significance to parents. /, Meet Week--Whv chiLdvsN--Gn OdalGs. tOo--1seed milk.

Arecent survey, made by . cos- metic firm, shows that college Wo- men have fewer foot ailments and less tendency to develop athletes foot than do their male classmates. The makers of the survey attribute this to the fact that coeds are more careful about drying their feet and that the pedicures they have in tho name of beauty really turn out tO be foot health routines.
 You should dry your feet inetic- ulously and sprinkle them with bath powder before you put on stockings. If there is rough skin or scaly corl- dition between toes, use Q medi- cated foot powder. If scaliness per- sists, see a foot doctor at once.
 When you select summer shoes, buy them at the end of the day, when your feet are tired and as swollen as they are likely to become in hot weather. This way, you'll get your proper size. If you go early in the morning, when your feet are fresh and rested, you may get shoes which will be too small once you have walked ten blocks on a hot day.
 Have at least one pair of shoes with sensible heels. You'll need them for golf and sports, of course, but you also need them for shop ing tours when pavements are blazing hot.
 See that stockings fit perfectly, too. If they are short, your toes will be come cramped and uncorn- fortable. If too long, they'll wrinkle and are likely to cause blisters and calIouses. Put on fresh stockings every morning.

YOU MUST EITHER FIGHT
 OR RUN AWAY

1nvalidS and persons who are or should be under medical care will please disregard everything we say in this article. It is intended for well folk only. Or people who do not recognize that they need medi- cal advice. Nothing subtle about that distinction. Probably nine out of ten persons chosen at random would profit in health by a little medical advice if they would seek such ad- vice and follow 1t. A large major ity of people who purport to be in fair health are actually on the de- cline, slipping, falling behind, train- ing or premature senility or early breakdown. The great trouble IS that they refuse to stand Q test to deter mine their condition. They prefer to drift along in blissful ignorance, like @ poor businessman who dislikes in- ventories and audits by experts. These dumb eggs harbor the quaint notion that 1t is time to call in the doctor when you have Q stroke of appolexy or an attack of angina or a dilated, decompensated heart or something worthwhile. They think 1t is absurd to run to e doctor with trifling complaints like indigestion, tired feeling, nervousness" etc., when there are 50 many quick cures for such troubles on every drugstore shelf. They think they know at least as much as the ordinary" doctor knows and that because they guess about their complaints he does too. Of course the specialist" knows everything; they think that's why he holds himself out as Q "special- ist"; but they are too canny to pay Q fancy fee to specialist" when they haven't much the matter.
