for It
There is hardly a household that
hasn't heard of Custoria! At least live
million homes are never without it. It
there are children in your family,
there's almost daily need of its com
fort. And any night may find you very
thankful there’s a bottle in the house.
Just a few drops, and that colic or
constipation is relieved; or diarrhea
checked. A vegetable product; a baby
remedy meant for young folks. Custoria
is about the only thing you have ever 1
heard doctors advise giving to infants.
Stronger medicines are dangerous to a
tiny baby, however harmless they may
be to grown-ups. Good old Custoria!
Itemember the name, and remember
to buy it. It may spare you a sleep
less, anxious night. It is always ready,
always safe to use; in emergencies, or
for everyday ailments. Any hour of the
day or night that Baby becomes fret
ful, or restless. Castoria was never
more popular with mothers than it is
today. Every druggist has it.
“Goose Hang. High”
This Is the generally accepted orig
in of the expression, “The Goose
Hangs High.” The entire expression
as originally used was, “Everything is
lovely and the goose hangs high.” It
Is said to have had its origin in the
old South in connection with a sport
Which was a favorite with the men.
A live goose was suspended by its feet
from a tree, hanging head down, with
a few feathers taken from its neck.
The men, on horseback, would dash
by and grab for the bird, the object
being to twist its head off. The more
the bird dodged and twisted, and the
higher it was suspended, the better
the sport, as the riders were then
forced to stand up in their stirrups.
Heady to start the contest, the word
to begin was, “The goose hangs high,”
meaning all was ready.

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892
When Dr. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, tho needs for a
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. Hut even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. It lias won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, flatulence, indi
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your
druggist, or write “Syrup Pepsin,

The die-hards of Peking’s diplo
matic corps point to C. T. Wang as
a horrible example of the results of
foreign education—the Sino-Ameri
can returned student turned Bol
shevik and metaphorically running
iinuck among the age-old traditions
of his people.
He belongs to a new breed, this
‘C. T.”—this first Chinese diplo
mat ever to sit in the Waichiao-pu
and to be known wherever foreign
ers gather throughout the length
and breadth of China by the Ameri
can appellative of big business.

Paradoxical though it may seem,
It is Dr. Wang’s uncanny ability to
anticipate the way a foreigner's
mind works without losing for a
moment his clear perspective of the
problems confronting the Chinese
people that has raised him head and
shoulders above his contemporaries.
Although this is by no means the
first time that "C. T.” has held a
cabinet portfolio—he has served ad
interim in several other ministries
—it is the first occasion that he has
held such an important past so long,
with excellent prospects of holding
it indefinitely, provided only that he
can rise above the storm of Jap
anese adverse propaganda, which at
times seriously threatens to capsize
his ship of state.
C. T. Wang is one of the very
few Chinese statesmen feared by
Japan, feared because he is one of
the very few' who is not blinded by
the gleam of Japanese gold yen. In
point of fact, he comes nearer to
being a Chinese patriot than any
Chinese I have ever known, since
he invariably puts country before
self, a maxirimm that by reason of
its platonic altruism is little known
in Asia.
Very Graceful Wra*
Anthrax Germs May
Lurk in Bristles
By Royal S. Copeland. M. D.
Antiarax Is a series disease which
first shows itself as a red spot on
the skin. In due course, what
seemed like a pimple at the start,
becomes a black spot with a ring
of tiny blisters lufrounaing it. Be
yond this ring is a bright red cir
cle and next comes an area of
swollen tissue.
The temperature may go to 104
or lOo degrees. In a favorable case
it disappears in about 10 days. Un
fortunately not every case is a fa
vorable one. As a matter of fact, in
a series of cares reported by the
New York City health department,
31 per cent, proved fatal. Any dis
ease which carries off onc-third of
its victims, is a disease to be dread
ed. Any disease that can take your
life within three or four days of its
attack is terrible indeed. That ia
what happens in anthrax.
The common gateway of entrance
of the anthrax germ is through the
skin. Any slight cut or abrasion af
fords the anthrax germs lodgment
and the infection takes place. It even
has been proved that germs rubbed
on intact skin can pass through the
hair follicles.
Anihrax originates in animals and
through their hides it reaches man.
There are two chief sources of in
fection from tills dread disease. The
first is animal hair and articles
made from animal hair, such as
shaving brushes. The second is ani
mal skins, hides, furs and articles
from them.
Regarding this matter here is an
interesting statement made recent-'
ly by a prominent health official:
“Many thousands of brushes how
ever. were made in the smaller fac
tories under very insanitary condi
tions. throughout the country, thus
distributing a large number of con- ,
taminated brushes which later in
fected a large number of persons.
One factory is known to have made
more than 10 carloads of these
brushes, and the damage occasioned
bu such must have been enormous.'1
No one knows when or where the
next case of anthrax will appear.
Unfortunately, the spores of tjie dis
ease are extremely difficult to kill
and, left to themselves, will retain
life for many years, indefinitely, in
fact. So long as these particular
brushes are in existence the menace
will be with us.
There is an old saying that “a
geptleman shaves himself every
morning.” There is many a gentle
man who dees not do this, of course,
but I do believe that if you desire
to treat yourself like a gentleman,
you will hot permit your face to be
mopped with the neighborhood
utensils. You will find a better way
to prepare the face, whether you
shave every day or once a week.
Figured chiffons have been uti
lised for a thousand uses this

According to the final crop sum

has demonstrated her ability as a
leader in the production of raw
materials by producing agricultural
crops valued at $569,610,000 based
on December 1, 1928, farms prices.
Tills is an increase of $46,449,090,
or 8 9 per cent, over last year, and
is only about $2,000,000 less than
the estimated value of the crops
of 1924, which was the largest total
value reported since 1920.
Iowa’s 1928 corn crop, estimated
at 467,012,000 bushels, is 89,000,000
bushels more than was harvested in
1927, and has been exceeded only
once in the history of the state;
by the crop of 1925. The acreage is
estimated at 11,174,000, an increase
of 2.5 per cent, over last year, and
the average yield is 42.6 bushels an
acre Considerable corn was des
troyed by being blown off the
stalks by the gales in October and
November and by being covered
with snow in November, preventing
the saving of great quantities by

have declared it harmless. Every druggist lias it, with proven direc
