tHE SAFE LAXATIVE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE Most elderly people are more or leas troubled with a chronic, per sistent constipation, due largely to lack of sufficient exercise. They ex perience difficulty In digesting even tight food, with a consequent belching at stomach gases, drowsiness after sating, headache and a feeling of lassi tude and general discomfort. Doctors advise against cathartics and ■violent purgatives of every kind, rec ommending a mild, gentle laxative tonic, like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, to effect relief without disturbing the sntlre system. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Is the perfect laxative, easy In action, cer tain In effect and, withal, pleasant to the ta3te. It possesses tonic proper ties that strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels and is a remedy that has been for years the great standby in thousands of families, and should be In every family medicine chest It is oqually as valuable for children as for older people. Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin In 60c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried It send your name and address to Dr. W. iT Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon tlcello, 111., find he will be very glad to send a sample bottle for trial There’s music In the squall of s baby—to Its mother.

Mrs. Hewllgus, what Is your hus band’s attitude on the woman suffrage ■question?" “One foot In the air, of course. He’# one of the chronic kickers.” Easy to Lick Russia. A oouple of little newsies stood In front of the Youngstown (O.) Tele gram bulletin recently reading the printed lines and making comments on the pres# reports. "Gee, it says here 'at there’s liable to be some o’ troubles ’1th Russia on account ob de treaty,” said one. "What’s de difference?” said the other. "Dis country don’t need to worry." "Oh, I don’t know,” said the first speaker, “it might bring on a war.” “Huh!” sniffed the second boy. “Un ele 8am could lick Russia wld de SaV vatlou Army.” Joke on the Doctor. The physicians In Mankato had agreed that during their Chautauqua assembly they would employ a call boy, and each was to pay his share •of the expense. This boy was to call any doctor who was wanted, without disturbing the speaker, as It was em barrassing to him and looked as If they were doing It to advertise with out expense. So It all went well until the afternoon when Strickland W. Gil liland spoke. As he was talking away ■a certain doctor had a call from the platform, and he walked out rather -ostentatiously. Some of the people who knew of the arrangement laughed •or snickered, and the speaker got It. He said: "Don’t laugh, folks. That Is the way my brother got bis start." And everybody roared. Lamb’s Tenure of Life Not Long. A party of privileged sightseers were admitted to a private view of a menagerie between performances, and among other things were shown what was called a ’’Happy Family,” that Is to say, in one and the same cage there was a toothless lion, a ■tiger, somewhat the worse for wear, <and a half-famished wolf. Beside •these wild animals, curled up In one •corner, was a diminutive lamb which shivered as It slumbered. ”How long have the animals lived together?” asked one of the party. "About twelve months,” replied the showman. “Why," exclaimed a lady, “I am •cure that little lamb Is not as old as that” “Oh,” said the showman, quite un moved, “the lamb has to be renewed occasionally.” ■ DIFFERENT NOW.

' ,-; The Infinite Motherhood I For. thus saith tho Lord, • • • As one whom his mother comforteth, so x Will I comfort you.—Isaiah, lxvi, 12, 13. From the Philadelphia North American. It seems strange, when one stops to think of It, that the race always has been "fathered” by Divinity and “mothered’' by the material earth, whereas the attri butes of the human father and mother, If appropriately applied, would reverse this order. For the father and the earth support, and the mother and the Infinite Being love, guide and comfort, albeit. In many an Instance the father loves as much as the mother, and In many an instance the mother does more to support than the father. But these exceptions do not alter the more general order, and the greatest among the Hebrew prophets tells us it is the voice of the Almighty that spoke, saying: "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.” Nowhere else in the Bible Is there to be found a more sublime and satisfying pic ture of the Omnipotent One than here, where we are made to see the mother In the finest and most frequent of her noble roles—that of the comforter. From the first days of babyhood on through the years with their growth of care and burdens, it Is the province of the good mother—and most mothers are Jfood mothers—to smooth out the wrinkles n the trouble-creased brow and smooth over many of the rough places in the oft times steep and rocky road. With that witchery which Is to be found only in the voice of one who speaks to flesh of her flesh and blood of b«r blood, the voice of the mother Is like an an swer to a call for help; the touch of her hand Is like the thrill of new hope; the wisdom of her love, though it be less reasonable than logic, opens a new door to endeavor. How often. In every land and clime and even among uncivilized peoples, is the mother a comforter? Perhaps when we can count all the stars in the skies and all the leaves on the trees of earth, w'« may be able to answer, but surely not until then. And bo, in this divine attribute she evi dences to us the very soul and essence of Divinity. For the God of our being is no longer a God of wrath, r^.|n the old days, but a loving Comforts, knelt down to as children kneel at a mother’s knee. It may always remain the “Fatherhood” of God in words, but deep in our hearts, where meanings may Alter without the knock of words, it will be the “Mother hood’ of God. Indeed, unless our relation to Infinity be in most ways that of a child to its mother, there is small hope that the bond between God and man can grow to be as strong as it should be; as It surely will be in times to come when the futility of the struggle for the material shall have opened our minds to the great er need for mastering the spiritual. We are children,—very young children, when one considers the antiquity of this planet and the brief time it has been peo pled. In knowledge we are “babes and sucklings,” not yet capable of understand ing anything at all about the things which are real and everlastingly worth while. The most we can do now, despite our frequent and furious boasting and all our display, Is to let the Divine One guide and lead us, through love, into those paths which will some day bring our un dreamed children Into light and knowl edge. Even as our mothers have led us here, so will He who Is all-merciful lead our souls into ouch places a# will give us greater opportunities fdr rising, till at length we come to the glory of the eter nal gates. Waiting to Read the Want Ads. One of the wonders of New York city Is the crowd that gathers around the newspaper offices at 1 or 2 o’clock In the morning, even In cold January, to wait for the papers bo as to get first chance at the want ads. This situation Is briefly pictured In the American Magazine by Theodore Dreiser In a con tribution called “The Men In the Dark.” Following Is an extract: “You did not notice any one a little while ago, but now there are three or four over there, discussing the nature of hard times and here In the shadow of this great arch of a door are three or four more. And now you look and they are coming from all directions, slipping In and out of the shadow toward this light, where there Is a fat. old Irish woman tending a newstand, or waiting to tend It, for as yet there Is nothing on It. They seem to be men of one type at first, small and underweight and gaunt, but you realize a little later that they are of different nationalities, and that they are not so much alike In height and weight as you first thought. They are all cold, though, that Is certain, and a little Impatient. They are constantly shifting and turning and looking at the city hall clock, where Its yellow faco displays the hour, and looking down the street and sometimes mur muring, but not much. There Is really very little said. " ‘What Is all the trouble?' you ask some available bystander who ought to be fairly on rapport with the situation, seeing that ho Is standing there. " 'Nothing,' he retorts. 'They're wait in' for the morning papers. They're lookin' to ace which can git to the Job first.' " ‘Oh, you exclaim, a great light breaking. 'So they're hero to get a good start. They wait all night. That’s pretty tough. Isn't It?' " ‘Oh, I don't know. They are mostly Swedes and Germans.’ (This last as though eliminating the need of human consideration.) “ ‘They’re waiters and cooks (ind or der men and dishwashers. There's some other kinds, too, but they're mostly waiters.' " An Ironclad Boston Hierarchy. From Collier’s. Let us likewise admit the disadvantages under which Harvard must labor. It re ceives every year a predestined quota from the small fashionable schools which Increasingly are becoming the property of social sets. These boys are sent to school not to be formed by contact with repre sentatives of all levels of life, but to herd with their own kind. They enter Harvard with a strongly developed sense of selec tion and they continue steadfast in this protective social theory. Above all Har vard has to deal with the intricate prob lems of Boston society, which has come to regard it as a social tributary. Boston, unlike any other city of its rank, exclu sively patronizes but one university. The dominant social set, inheritors of Puri tan and scholarly traditions, is so de fensively organized to resist invasion that it has even organized, for the proper clas sification of Its debutantes, a sewing cir cle on the lines of the most rigorous col lege society. There are many exceptions. Individuals of force and catholic sympa thies whose names are familiar in Har vard history, but the great mass of rep resentatives of Boston society who enter Harvard have been shielded from rude outer contact, herded together and fol low blindly their well-fenced course through Harvard and back into the fold from which they emerged. Individually they are clean, honest, winning types of aristocrats and tluir snobbishness is not personal, or even conscious but simply an inheritance. Allied to this ironclad hier archy is a somewhat similar set from New' York city. The two elements amalga mate at fashionable hoarding schools and between them the control of the most ex clusive Harvard clubs is amazingly com plete. An III Paid Hero. French Strother, writing In tho World's Work about C. P. Rodgers’ transcontinental flight, says that finan cially the trip was a disappointment. He received $5 a mile for his flight from New York to Fort Worth; and from Fort Worth to Pasadena, $4 a mile and all the purses he could arrange for on the side. He thus received about 520,000 from his backers and about 53, 000 or 54.000 prize money. But his machine cost 55.000 and repairs cost about 517.000 more, so his net return was small. But he unconsciously summed up the significance of his flight, at Pasadena, after he had heard the last of the ap plause and received the last congrat ulations and had laid off the American flag they had thrown across his should ers. when he placed his hand on his mother’s shoulder and said; “Never mind about the money. It don't amount to much that way—but 1 did it, didn’t I?" Gratifying. The P.atfunculous bulboaus now adorns the meadow lot, And the Aretastaphylosus ornaments the wooded spot.

In the Woman's Home Companion there is an account of a dramatization of Louisa M. Alcott’a "Little Women,” which has recently been put on the stage. Miss Jessie Bonstelle arranged for the production, and Miss Marian de Forest, a well known writer, pre pared the dramatization. For many years the attempt has been going on to obtain permission from the Alcott heirs to dramatize this famous book. The principal difficulty was in obtaining permission from "Daisy” and "Demi,” tho twins of the book, two nephews of Miss Alcott. “Daisy,” who had grown up as Mr. Fred Pratt, objected strong ly to tho proposition, but “Demi,” who In real life Is John Alcott, recalling his aunt's love for the stage, was more fav orably Inclined. The recent death of Mr. Pratt has made It possible to con summate the plan, and the play has Just been put on the professional stage under the direction of William A. Brady In Buffalo, with success. In tho article Mr. Alcott Is quoted as saying: “ 'I believe It Is time to drop this opposition to the dramatization of Aunt Louisa's greatest piece of work. She had no prejudice against the stage. In fact, she loved It. As a girl she cherished a secret longing to act. As a woman, especially ns a writer, she cul tivated and enjoyed the society of bril liant actresses. A sympathetic and un derstanding dramatization of “Little Women” would bo a matter of pride and satisfaction to her. If she had lived In this day of the successful American woman dramatist, undoubt edly she would have been one of them.' ’’ Miss Bonstelle, the producer, adds: “When It was noised about In New England that 'Little Women’ was to be staged, treasured mementoes were of fered to make It more real—a tribute, not to the actor, or to me, the pro ducer, but to the memory of Louisa M. Alcott. Mr. John Alcott contributed the original boots and dagger used by Jo In amateur performances. Other rela tives and Intimate friends offered col lars, stocks, hats, bonnets and capes to be used as patterns for the costumes we were having made. Even Meg’s original wedding bonnet came from one New England attic. The long knitted scarf which Mr, Laurence unwinds from about his throat In the first act was contributed by a deacon In the Baptist church.” Bankruptcy proceedings against an Oxford student showed that he had incurred liabilities of 80,000 pounds since June, 1910, through racing, gamb ling and extravagant living. Ida M. Tarbell On Women in Business. In the American Magazine Ida M. Tarbell writes a frank and exceedingly interesting article on women. Follow ing is an interesting extract: "The woman set to do a man's busi ness too often views life as made up of business. She throws her whole nature to the task. Her work is her child. She gives it the same exclusive passionate attention. She is as fiercely Jealous of interference in it as she would be If it wore a child. She resents suggestions and change. It is hers, a personal thing to which she clings as if it were a liv ing being. That attitude is the chief reason why working with women in the development of great undertakings is as difficult as co-operating with them in the rearing of a family. It is also a reason why they rarely rise to the first rank. They cannot get away from their undertakings sufilclently to see the big truth and movements which are always impersonal." Carouso To Get a Raise. From t lie New York Times. Enrico Caruso, who Is r.ow in Paris, told an Interviewer that he had signed a four years' contract to sing in America. “Hitherto,” he says, "I have been con tent with £1,000 a night with a guaranteed minimum of 40 performances In live months, but now I am to receive more.” Caruso was asked whether he Intended to appear in the Wagnerian tetralogy. "Later, much later,” he replied, "when my voice is aged, I shall be able to shout as loud as I like. Then 1 shall be able to put In my repertoire 'Tristan,,' 'Die Mels tersinger and Siegfried.' 'La Favorita’ and 'll Trovatore* require a young, fresh, pure voice. Those rich metallic voices are disappearing. Alas, the eminent physiolo gists have proved that the race la de generating." Caruso's salary, although never official ly announced, has been generally believed to bu $2,600 a performance. In Prison Until Wedded. From the New York Herald. The Itev. George Brown. P.

Doc tor Brown describes how, on one occa sion, ho inspected some of these human cages. “The cage was quite clean,” he said, “and contained nothing but a few short lengths of bamboo for holding water. There was only room for a girl to sit or lie down In a crouched .position In the bamboo platform, and when the doors are shut it must he nearly or quite dark in side. They are never allowed to come out except once a day to bathe In a wood en bowl placed close by.

RAPIDITY IN MENTAL | GROWTH OF INFANTS j_SPRINGTIME EMOTIONS OF A CHILD OF THREE. (By M. E. Haggerty, Director Psychologi cal Laboratory, Indiana University.) The beginning of mentality in the child 1b very simple. A flash of light, a feeling of warmth, a sensation from a moving muscle, the feeling of contact of its lips, the taste of food, the visceral sensations including hunger, thirst and possibly pain, the motions of the lips, tongue and cheeks In feeding, the unco-ordinated movements of hands, feet and eyes, the faint re sponse to auditory stimuli, a glint of odor and a transient taste—these passing in rapid flow and with little or no connec tion between succeeding stages of the stream make up all that can be called mind in the first days and weeks of child hood. Very soon, however, begins the process of fusion of succeeding or contamporan eous states with one another. The flash of light is welded with the feelings from the activity of the eye muscles; the touch of the lips joins the taste of milk; the movement of the arm and hand is caught up into relation with the touch of the end of the fingers and the palm of the hand; the sight of the mother or nurse grows together with the anticipation of food; the sound of a familiar voice is con nected with pleasant experiences that have followed that sound in the past; the cry bo characteristic of infancy gets to be the connecting link between a state of discomfort and the relief of the annoy ing state. Infant Habits Quickly Formed. How quickly these first associations be gin and attain strength any nurse or mother well knows. Persons experienced in the care of children know that it is Important to establish the feeding and sleeping habits of an infant from the very hour of its birth. By the end of a fortnight such habits should be well fixed in the normal infant and it will for ever after be the gainer thereby. Prob ably in this region of fundamental pro cesses the act of association is more rapid than in the regions more distant froiji the child’s immediate necessities. In every place, however, the tendency toward as sociation goes on with terrific rapidity. It is nothing short of astounding how much really takes place in the mind of a child during the first year and again during the second and third year. At first the associations group them selves about different centers. The eye ts one such center. The feelings from the muscles of the eyes wrhen they are moved are at first undoubtedly without any connection with the sensation of light which is derived from the retina. When this feeling from the muscle occurs at the same time as the flash of light there is the condition for an association. If these two experiences occur together for a number of times they will become so re lated to each other that w'hen one occurs it will tend to revive the other even though that other may not at the time bo present. Thus the child will come to expect the flash of light when he feels the move ment of the eye muscles. By an elab oration of this association the two eyes will come to work together and by a further extension of this center of asso ciation the things which a child sees wdll come to be related to the things that he feels with his hands. He will through this process come to know that the rattle that he feels with his hand is the same rattle that he sees with his eyes, any by a still further extension of the process he will come to understand that this rattle which he sees and feels is the same as the one that makes the noise which he hears. These extensions of child expe rience are easily observed in the outward behavior of any growing child. World Pours In On the Child. As the child grows from day to day the world outside pours in upon him through his sense organs its myriad motions, and these he must relate to these association groups, which he has begun thus early in his life. This is not always an easy pro cess, and the imperative growth he makes often comes with severe inner struggles. New forms, new sights, new sounds, new odors, new objects, new persons and new ideas come to him in such profusion and complexity that the unity to his mind is over and over disrupted. He sees a new object and tries to relate it to the things he already knows. It will not fit. What experience he has accumulated in the past he may have been able to reduce to a con sistent whole. Here is the new thing that stands over against the old fund of ex perience as a stranger. Possibly it con tains some aspect Mke a former experience, but the other parts of the object differ wholly from anything he has ever seen. Possibly through the common element he Is able to make the new object a part of his mental stock, but in the process his mind has enlarged because it must also Include the part that is like nothing he has ever seen. Directly the unity is re established and he presents a wholly con sistent and satisfied mind. The moments ; of perplexity are, however, real rifts in his mental life, attended by all the stress and struggle that ever keeps company with the unquenchable desire to know when that desire confronts the unfamiliar and the resistant forces of nature. A Child Turned Loose In Spring. All this was borne in upon me with ! emphasis a little while ago when the first I tardy spring days arrived and I saw a 3-year-old turned loose on the out-of-doors after the long winter housing. The nar row walls of the house broke away from before his eyes as he went through the open door and before him stretched the wide expanse of field and sky. The light filled space Invited him with Impelling solicitation and one ecstatic shout spoke his rapturous acceptance. Over the board fence and he stopped to see the flicker drumming on the roof. A shout of joy and recognition and then the swing that had hung neglected through the tortuous winter called him to stop for old friend ship’s sake as well as for the delight of motion. But not for long; out Into the field where the clover was just showing Its first shoot and then a robin whistling in the naked top of the maple tree called forth the shout of “mocking bird.” This much he had saved over from his second summer when the mocking birds had been numerous about the place. Every bird was a mocking bird; sparrows, robins, thrashers, meadow larks, were all the same to him. He greeted them all as old acquaintances and welcomed their sight with joy, which was always turned to partial pain when he was told the real name of the bird, and that it was not a mocking bird. Across the field to where the other chil dren had been getting the early blood root and his eager hands gathered in great bunches of the creamy blossoms. About, and the spring beauties were growing at his feet. Down the hillside and the old walnuts molding in the grass brought back the memory of the last year’s har vest, and he filled his rolled-up sweater, as he trudged up the other slope he spied the robin's last year’s nest, now hanging bare amid the straggling boughs of the haw tree. Then back along the fence and under It he came dragging his heavy boots up the back porch steps and panted out, “I’m hungry.” He dropped his walnuts on the porch and his flowers upon the kitchen table. With hat and sweater off, his head in steaming curls, he looked the picture when he said, “I'm tired.” Exhausted By the Rush of Newness. In truth there was reason. The daily round of indoor playthings had made life quite the same and his mind was well or ganized and unified on blocks and books, on rocking horse and paper dolls, on chairs and rugs, on pictures, tables, fire place, telephone and the members of the family, on the daily course of meals and sleep, but here the perfect cycle of the day’s events was blown up by the influx of a new world of things. A score of times the old familiar forms of thought were interrupted and new adjustments must be made and always in that most expensive way, to the accompaniment of great emotions. The vital energy that wrent into that morning’s run is compre hensible to an adult only when he thinks what it meant to him to take his first trip to New York or into the mountains or to the distant college. Yet day after day as the season ad vances this rebirth into a new world of things takes place for the child. New birds, new bugs, new blossoms, make life for him one continuous voyage along the season's current, all this varied scenery along the way demanding new adjust ments, now associations, the whole amounting to a genuine reconstruction of the mind before the summer is gone. Who can doubt that it states the truth mildly to say that this process of reconstruc tion goes on with terrific speed and who can doubt that if to grow from stage to stage with terrific speed constitutes the fullness of life that then the life of the child veritably overflows while for the most of us the cup is never full to the brim. For some of us the bottom is hard ly covered. Is This Perpetual Motion? A 20-foot wheel spanning a narrow street in Los Angeles, Cal., is a source of great wonder to the passers-by, as it appears to be a solution of the ancient problem of “perpetual motion.” The wheel stands upon a frame of structural iron, says a writer in the June Strand, and is inclosed at the sides with a wooden sup port. within which it slowly revolves. The wheel itself is of light wooden construc tion, and has a thickness of about eight inches. It has nine large spheres of met al, which run in grooves that extend from the axle to the rim of the wheel. As they approach the outer edge, their weight has a tendency to draw down that side of the device. The ascending side has no such weight at the rim, as, by an Ingenious curvature of the grooves, the balls run toward the center. Thus there will al ways be a greater weight on one side of the wheel than on the other, and it keeps revolving indefinitely. That this is not a purely scientific affair is indicated by the advertisements painted on the structure, for the inventor has an eye to business. Thousands of people examined the device minutely to discover some outside powrer which kept the wheel in motion; but, al though the framework is built so that one can see every part of it, no machinery can be detected.
