The proper treatment for a bilious child THREE STEPS I TO REUEV1N COXSTIPATISSI A cleansing dose today; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at all. ANY mother know3 the reason when her child stops playing, eats little, is hard to manage. Constipation. Iiut what a pity so few know the sensible way to set things right! The ordinary laxatives, of even ordinary strength, destroy all hopes of restoring regularity. 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 tl.eir own accord and need no help. This treatment will succeed with any child and with any adult. Doctors use, a liquid laxative. Hospitals use the liquid form. H it is best for their use, it is best for home use. The liquid laxative they Sally use is Dr. Caldwell s Syrup Pepsin. Any druggist has it. i : Pick Sophomore I "i.-.;JS, ' . , s H i i : i I VT ' I ? t 4 : .. ,. i !

There Is nothing like a good hot dish of soup to warm one up on these cold, stormy days. Komemakers may find that some of the following sug gestions for garnishes not only add to the attractiveness but also add to the palatability of the soup: Chopped nuts added to whipped cream. Serve spoonful on top of cream of tomato soup. Shredded salt ed almonds give an interesting touch to any cream soup. Canned pimento diced or put thru a sieve and mixed with half as much butter or whipped cream makes a colorful garnish on soups as spinach, asparagus or pea soup. Add popcorn to corn soup. Ham may be run through the food chopper and sprinkled over the top of soup. Try These Instead of Crackers. If one is low on crackers or likes to add variation to meals, cracker substitutes offer a wide range of pos sibilities. Left-over bread toasted slowly in the oven, or toasted quickly, then but tered and sprinkled with sugar may be more enticing than fresh bread. The children will like bread sticks, whole wheat crips or oatmeal wafers for their lunches. Zwiebach Cut left-over rolls or bread into sices y2 nch thek and toast slowly n the oven. Crispies Slice bread thin and cut each slice in two or three pieces. Chill, then place in oven and dry slowly until browned through. Cov ering the pieres with a weighted pan will prevent curling. Croutons Cut bread into V2 inch cubes and toast in a pan in the oven or on top of the stove, stirring fre quently and carefully so as to not al low the pieces to crumble. Or brown them quickly in a hot, lightly greased frying pan. Bread Sticks Cut left-over slices of bread into strips y2 inch wide and toast. Cinnamon Toast Toast slices of bread; butter them; sprinkle lightly with brown or white sugar and cin namon and return to the toaster or oven for a moment.

This means that farmers who have complied with their 1935 con tracts will soon be in the line for final benefit payments, since congress passed an appropriation bill to com plete the payments. Making Seed Corn Tests. The Farm Bureau office is now equipped to make seed corn tests for farmers of the county. Several samples have been mailed in the last two weeks. Germination is running from 32 per cent to 99 per cent on the samples I that have been tested. I There are so many inquiring about iseed corn that any one having a sur 'plus of seed should send in a sample to be tested. This will enable tne office to refer buyers to good seed and also protect the grower in know ing that his seed will or will not ger minate. Three kernels taken from each of 100 ears at randum through the crib will give a fair idea of how the crib is running. Will Hold Elacksmith School. Arrangements have been made with Professor Brackett, head of the Agri cultural Engineering Department of the College of Agriculture, Lincoln, to have Cass county farmers attend a blacksmith and shop school at the college on Friday, February 2Sth. The school will be conducted by Mr. Runnalls, instructor in forge work. Prof. Brackett says he would like to have a group of 40 to 50 attend the school which will begin at 9 a. m. and run until 4 p. m. Those that attend should bring such materials as old plow beams for wedges, auto axles, drive shafts and steering shafts for wrecking bars, punches, etc.; old rake teeth and bundle carrier teeth for hay hooks and punches; thrashing machine cylinder teeth for cold chisels. The more experienced men will want to take plow lathes and cultivator shovels. Those that are interested in at tending the school should notify the Farm Bureau office at once so they can get on the list. The first 50 that report will be accepted. Training Meetings Postponed. blocked roads, the February series of leaders' training meetings had to be postponed. Providing: there is a break in the weather the new schedule to be fol lowed will be: Louisville Tuesday, Feb. 25. Elmwood Wednesday, Feb. 26. Nehawka Thursday, Feb. 27. Plattsmouth Tuesday, March 3. Weeping Water, Wednesday, March Eagle Thursday, March 5. Murdock Tuesday, March 10. Fonr-H Eaby Beef Clubs. Improved feed conditions coupled with the exceptionally favorable fi nancial reports of baby beef mem bers in 1935 indicate that there will be more boys and girls feeding calves in 1936 than ever before in Nebras ka. A total of 58 calves are now on feed in Cass county. This compares with 51 for 1935. Requirements as to age of 4-II baby beeves and length of feed for animals shown at the Nebraska State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben have been greatly relaxed which should add some en thusiasm to both shows. The high quality of both shows, however, will be maintained as sifting committees will remove all unfinished, wasty, ex cessibly large or coarse cattle from the entries befor ethe show is judged. Walter Tolman, animal husband man at the Nebraska college of agri culture and assistant state 4-II lead er, recommends that club members select high quality calves which will be 12 to 18 months of age at the time of showing and start them on feed 7 to 11 months before showing in order to produce beeves which will meet the show requirements. Younger calves, especially steers, need the longer feed periods. Heifers and old er steers can be fattened in a short er time. Boys expecting to belong to 4-H Baby Beef clubs in 1936 must have their calves purchased by April 1, 1936. RAILROAD RAISES WAGES Mexico City. The Southern Paci fic railway of Mexico agreed to raise salaries of its lower paid employes in an agreement by which a strike on the railway was averted a few hours before it was scheduled to start. The company decided to raise minimum salaries to the equivalent of 52 cents in United States currency daily, and to make a corresponding increase In salaries in the lower categories. Wages of less than the equivalent of $55 monthly will be raised by 16.16 percent, to guarantee payment of full wages for a day off weekly, as provided by a reform of the labor law passed this week by congress. DYNAMITE IN YOUR KITCHEN Your kitchen contains everyday materials potentially as dangerous as dynamite! This was demonstrated recently in an apartment house, when a tenant decided to bake a cake. In gathering together the ingredients, she discov erea tnai me nour, wmui sue au;saiu pttuion lias uec:i tut poured out into a dish, contained ing before said Court on bugs Sh stf.nr.Prl over to thp in - cinerator, the shaft of which ran up past all of the apartments, opened the door and emptied the dish. As she closed the door, a volcano! seemed to erupt. A terrific explosion! shook the place and a sheet of flame j swept from the shaft into the kit.cn-! en, disfiguring the girl for life. The doors of the incinerator shaft were torn off in all apartments and great damage was done on each floor. Sev eral persons were cent to th2 hos pital. And yet, only a small quan tity of flour was emptied into that incinerator perhaps a pound and a quarter! What happened to cause this great and unexpected explosion? The Na tional Board of Fire Underwriters offers this explanation: As a powdery substance was thrown into the incinerator, it sep arated and many minute particles floated in the air, causing a dust cloud that exploded as soon as itiv-c0(f jrcbraslra, Mr. K. Ji. Arm came in contact with the fire at the. strong. Secretary, for an addi'i'U to bottom of the incinerator shaft. j the school building accordi-.u; f. o.ni, f c!n,iiariu n ,i PP ! plans and spec i fi ca t ion s prepared by . . certain conditions. Accumulations of' dust, such as are removed from unless compressed into a matted mass, are also hazardous. A shovelful of dry coal dust, if thrown loosely over a fire, could cause a devastating ex plosion and will, in any event, cause a dangerous flash-back. The way to avoid dust explosions is to keep the material i na compact mass, w iieu disposing ui uuoi, it should be put in a bag or wrapped up securely. Then there will be no pos sibility of its separating and form ing a dust cloud. As the majority of the thousands of deaths annually caused by fire oc cur in homes, this recommendation Bhould be placed high on your "Safety First" list. ARRESTS CUT MOTOR TOLL Chicago. Prompt arrests an convictions of all traffic violators af ford the quickest method of reduc ing the nation's appalling annual death list from motor accidents, a survey by Northwestern university indicated. Based on reports of law enforce ment and motor fatalities over a two year period from 3S leading cities, the survey found a direct re lationship existed between the num ber of arrests and convictions for speeding, reckless driving, the pass ing of red lights, and other highway violations and the motor vehicle mor tality rate. Ranking the communities on the basis of an index covering the ratio between the number of convictions and the number of personal injury accidents, the survey found that the group which boasted the biggest in creases in enforcement had showed a decrease of 10 percent in deaths. At the top of this list Detroit was placed with an increase of 81 percent in law enforcement and a decrease of 14 percent in the auto death rate. The National Congress of Parents and Teachers enrolled its 1,750,000 members in the safety campaign. Ex pansion of school boy patrol units and efforts to improve school bus facilities were the cardinal points in the program.
