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.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin, and you would
like to make a personal trial of it be
fore buying it in the regular way of a
druggist, send your address—a postal
will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell,
203 Washington Street, Monticello, 111.,
and a free sample bottle will be
mailed you.

Thus cynically does the Kansas City

who cares for something else than
speed—for he does really exist, ap

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

With a frightened glance at him, we
turned and hastened to the nearest
town, to warn the officials that a per

WATER MINE MABE TO
DEVELOP RICH ACRES
IN BARREN DISTRICT
Vast Results Come From Per
sistent Efforts of Kan
sas Genius.
Demlng, N. 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.

JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY
Chances Are Colonel Newton Will In

"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.”

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.”

THE KNOW HOW
To Feed Children and Get Good Re
sults.
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.”

Have Been Restored to Health By Lydia EL
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
There is no doubt about this fact. 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.
