Healthy Baby is Precious Blessing To Make It Healthy and Keep it Healthy Use a Re liable Baby Laxative In spite of the greatest personal ^are and the most Intelligent attention to diet, babies and children will be come constipated, and it is a fact that eonstipation and Indigestion have wrecked many a young life. To start with a good digestive apparatus Is to «tart life without handicap But as we cannot all have perfect working bowels we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a laxative-tonic very highly recommended by a great many mothers. The remedy Is called Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has been on the market for two genera tions It can be bought conveniently at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are already convinced of its merits buy the dollar size. Its mildness makes it. the Ideal medl icine for children, and it Is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in Its effect and genuinely harmless. Very little of it is required and Its frequent use does not cause it to lose Its effect, as Is the case with so many other remedies. Thousands can testify to Its merits In constipation, Indigestion, bilious ness. sick headaches, etc., among them reliable people like Mrs. M. Johnson, T62 Dayton St.. KenoBha, Wls. She is the mother of little Dorothy Johnson who was always in delicate health un til her mother gave her Dr. Cald Well’sSyrup Pepsin. Mrs.Johnson says: Dorothy Johnson. “I never saw such rapid Improvement In the health of anyone. Syrup Pep sin Is a wonderful remedy and I shall never be without It again.’’ Thousands keep Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin con stantly in the house, for every mem ber of the family can use It from In Infancy to old age. The users of Syrup Pepsin have learned to avoid cathar tics, salts, mineral waters, pills and other harsh remedies for they do but temporary good and are a shock to any delicate system.

Kansas City Paper Tells Story of En counter With Automobilist That Is Hard to Believe. Thus cynically does the Kansas City Independent speak of the motorist who cares for something else than speed—for he does really exist, ap pearances to the contrary notwith standing: We came upon the motor car stand ing on the brow of the hill. “Hello!” we said to the chauffeur "Broken down?” “No, sir,” he responded. “Out of gasoline?” “No, sir. We have plenty.” "Tire punctured?” “No, Btr. The tires are in perfect condition." “Lost your way?” "No, sir. The country hereabouts is very familiar." "Dropped something from the auto?” "No, sir. Nothing of the sort." “Thrn why are your standing here? , Why are you not shooting down the hill und across the level at a terrific speed." "1 do not care to do that,” said the owner of the machine, who had been silent until this moment. “Whenever I come this way 1 have my car stopped here so that I may enjqy the magnifi cent view from this elevation.” With a frightened glance at him, we turned and hastened to the nearest town, to warn the officials that a per son evidently insane was at large in an automobile.

M.—It has been about four years since a stocky, rugged little man from western Kansas, with a clean-cut square Jaw and a sparkling eye, got off the train In ragged little village In south western New Mexico. The village didn’t seem to Interest him. His practical glance traveled to the north toward the high Sierras, where a lone peak shot skyward 8,000 feet above the level of the wide, long valley, In the center of which lay the village aforesaid, like a ragged patch on an otherwise perfect garment. To the west he saw a gigantic butte rise In lonely grandeur; and to the south, to ward the Mexican border, he saw numer ous clusters of mountains, among them three connected and symmetrical peaks, and a long saw-toothed range encroaching on the valley, and stringing Into Isolated, buttes on the southeastern skyline. Nor did he fall to note that when nature ran her spirit-level over the valley she left a gentle and uniform slope to south and east, a gradual dip of about eight feet In the mile. He was Interested In water. He rode horseback for a week over the mountains to the north, the obvious catch ment area for the water that somehow did not reach the valley. At an old gov ernment fort In the mountains he hap pened upon an Invaluable piece of Infor mation; It was the record of rainfall at the fort for the last SO years. He found an average annual precipitation for the last 30 years of 34.5 Inches, whereas the average annual rainfall In the valley was but eight Inches, not enough for even the driest of “dry farming.” He secured from the United States Geo logical survey maps of the region, and a study of those showed that the mountain area which drains Into the valley com prises 1,400 square miles. He found 1,400 square miles of mountain area draining Into the valley; with a pre cipitation of at least 20 Inches yearly, and still no flowing stream. He concluded that this water must go somewhere, so he followed the channel for 40 miles and ar rived where It debouches upon the plain. Here the stream became weaker until a few miles on the found a dry bed which carried water only In flood times. He was caught In a heavy rain, and the flood waters came sweeping down. He mounted his pony and followed the crest of the flood, only to find that It gradually dis appeared long before it reached the vil lage. He went to his room and began to think. The next morning he paid a real estate man 325 to show him a quarter of govern ment land open to entry. Within two weeks he bought railway lieu-land script and laid It on 4,000 acres contiguous to the quarter he had filed upon as a desert land entry. He sank a well 150 feet deep, and In this distance he encountered three sand and gravel Btrata carrying water. Contiguous to the water-bearing ma terial he Inserted a screen, or perforated casting, to allow the water to enter the well. He Installed a centrifugal pump capable of delivering 900 gallons of water per minute at the bottom of a steel pit 42 feet under ground, the pump to be oper ated from the surface with a pulley and shaft. He Installed a 45-horsepower gaso line engine with a belt drive to the pulley of the pump. It took him six months to do this work. Stockmen of the valley referred to him as "cracked;” the merchants demanded cash; the banks Investigated his credit. His enterprise was looked upon as the merest folly. The hour, the moment of the test ar rived. He ordered the workmen to start the engine, and he planted himself square ly In front of the 8-lnch discharge pipe. He would now see whether his mental virion of what was underground was cor rect. With a few sputters and false starts the engine was finally started. The clutch was driven In. and It caught up the load. Suddenly the water plunged out of the discharge pipe Into the ditch. A fragment of that long-lost river coursed down the ditch prepared for It. After the plant had been In operation for three hours he opened the top of the steel pit and low ered a tape line to measure the depth of the water. He found that the water stood Just 10 feet lower than when he began pumping. Later he ran this plant 72 hours without stopping and was unable to lower the water more than 10 feet. His pumping head was demonstrated to be 42 feet. He had been In many sections of California where men had grown rich pumping water for irrigation 100, 200 and even 300 feet. In the four years since then there have been Installed In the Mlmres valley of southern New Mexico above 800 Just such pump plants as our friend from Kansas Installed. Land has risen in value from nothing to 360, 375 and 3150 per acre. A little empire has been reclaimed. He sold his 4,000 acres of script land the other day for a princely sum. In many arid valleys of the southwest the same opportunity awaits the seeing eye. Pure water in abundant quantities for Irrigation within 100 feet of the fertile surface of a valley Is better than a gold mine. The centrifugal pump, the gasoline engine and the central electric plant have solved the problem. Those Wilson Girls in tho White House. From the Wichita Beacon. We begin to fear that the ria lighters of the next president of the United States are not going to be very popular in high sasslety In Washington when Fapa Wilson moves In the White House. You know, high sasslety Is largely marked by Its possession of mere dollars and more Idle time than most people have. Its standards are different from those of the mass of the people, one of the car dinal points being to hold one's self aloof from the struggles and the sorrows, yea. even the pleasures and the joys of tha multiude. One must live always on the heights where the dollar mark Is the prime banneret and where rare vintage wines are the only beverage: where the leader of the next cotillion is a person of greatest Importance and a decision about the tint of one's gown Is more weighty than a national crisis. Therefore, we fear those Wilson girls won t do. It was perfectly scandalous for them to go to the Immigration docks at Now Tork and coo over the babies of soma verv common people. It was quite shocking to hear that they had tears In their eye* when they saw some little pa thetic mother doomed to. go back to Europe and thus remain Separated from her hard-working husband who had sent for heT. If those Wilson girls want to make good In Washington, they must liegln to take more Interest 111 dances than tn bahts*; they must worry more about perfumes and powders than about the privation* of i mere common people; they must case harden their hearts and atrophy their feelings; they must learn that high sas slety consists of the chosen few and that the plain people do not count for much In this best of all possible worlds, r It's a large order and we doubt whether those Wilson girls with their warm hu man sympathies, their splendid womanly ' democracy, are going to sneceeed.

"Have you noticed that dead dog In Harris' back yard?” inquired Colonel Newton at the breakfast table. "No. I haven’t; I didn't know they had a dog,” his wife returned. "No more did I, but there’s a dead dog lying in their back yard, and it’s been there a day or two. If it isn’t disposed of by tomorrow I shall notify the health department” As the dog was still there, stretched stiff and stark, upon hls return at night the colonel telephoned the health department to come in the morning and remove the body of a dead dog in hls neighbor’s back yard, which was becoming offensive. The men came early, before the col onel had left home, to attend to the matter. He saw them pick up the ani mal, drop it suddenly and turn away. The colonel, mystified, hurried out to see about it. "Why didn't you take that dog away?” he sputtered. The officer eyed him coldly. "Aw, come off.” he said, in a tone of dis gust, “that’s a stone dog; piece of brlcky-brac; put out there for the ash man.” BIGGEST RACE PROBLEM. V- * "Bre’er Jones, does you think de devil Is a black man or a white man?” "I dunno; an’ all I does know Is—de biggest race problem is how ter keep ten yards ahead of him!” It Didn’t Matter. When Fred Kelly made a start In journalism he was put on reporting. One night he was sent to a big fire down town. A reporter named Brown was sent with him. It was a large Are, and presently Brown dis appeared. A wall had fallen, and Kelly was sure Brown was under it. He rushed to the telephone and called up his city editor. “Say,” he shouted into the tele phone, "Brown is gone. He’s burned up!” "What’s that?” asked the city edi tor. “Brown is burned up, I tell you He fell Into the Are. “All right," said the city editor, hanging up the telephone, “I’ll send down another man.” And Yet the Dance Halle Thrive.

There are more nervous persons made so by undigested food lying in the stomach than the average indi vidual would suppose. If food remains undigested in the stomach, it begins to ferment, set up gaB and a large portion is thus con verted into poison. That's why imperfectly digested food may, and often does, cause irritation of the nerves and stupor of the mind— brain and nerves are really poisoned. “My daughter had complained for some time of a distressed feeling in the stomach, after eating, which set me thinking that her diet was not right,” writes an anxious and intelli gent mother. "She had been fond of cereals, but had never tried Grape-Nuts. From reading the account of this predigest ed food, it seemed reasonable to try Grape-Nuts for her case. "The results were really wonderful. The little brain that seemed at times unable to do its work, took on new life and vigor. Every morning, now, before going to school, she eats the crisp little morsets and is now com pletely and entirely well, she seems to have a new lease on life—no more distress in the stomach, nor head ache, but sound and well everyway.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek.

Why! during the last 30 years we have published in the newspapers of this country volumes of letters from women who have been re lieved of all their suffering by the timely aid of this grand old medicine. Letters like the following, true, genuine and honest expressions of gratitude coming from grateful hearts. Surely you can believe these women. Mrs. L S. BRENNER, Hudson, Mich., says:— “ Sometime ago I was taken with a terrible pain in my right side, such ■harp pains just like a knife sticking me. I tried hot applications but that did no good. 1 went to our family doctor (we were living in Fayette, Ohio, at that time) and he said it was organic inflammation. I doctored with him a while but kept getting worse. The pain was so terrible I could hardly atand on my feet. I would have that sharp pain in my right side, and a dull heavy pain the whole length of my limb. I realized that something had to be done quickly, so I looked up all of your advertisements I could find, and saw several that described my case. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it helped me from the first dose, and when I had taken two bottles my trouble was gone. Your medicine has done so much for me that I am willing you should publish this letter for tha sake of other suffering women.”—MrsI L. S. Brenner, Hudson, Michigan, j Mrs. L. E. BOWERS, Girard, Pa., says: — “ I take pleasure in informing you of what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I had a sick spell last February, and for some months after that I was not regular and had many had feelings. I ■was tired all the time, had dull headaches, not much appetite, and also what the doctor called organic inflammation. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I feel that too much cannot be said in its praise as I am now able to do my own work. You are perfectly welcome to use my testimonial for the benefit of others.”—Mrs. L. E. Bowers, R.F.D. No. 1, Girard, Pa. Mrs. ELIZABETH GENTILCORE, Buffalo, N.Y„says:— “ I feel that I must write to you about your wonderful remedies. About ten years ago I was troubled with female weakness and was all run down. I was tired all the time and could hardly walk without feeling dizzy. I heard about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, took it, and also used the Sanative Wash. I got stronger, and have not had those dizzy spells since. I feel that I owe my health to you, and hope your remedies will help others as they have me. I tried most everything I heard of, and yours are the best medicines for women’s ailments.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Gen tilcobe, 26 Glor Street, Buffalo, New York. For 80 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has -been the standard remedy for fe male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments does justice to herself if she does not try this fa mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many suffering women to health.
