THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMEN1
When a child sulks drowsily , or It
fretful , it is usually due to some slighl
disorder of the digestive organs , and
xnild laxative is very often all that l
: necessary to restore cheerfulness anc
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle
effective laxative stimulant is indl
cated , many of the best physicians arc
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrur
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative , being mild , yel
positive In its action on the bowels ,
and far preferable to violent cathart
ics and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach , liver and bowels. Its easy ,
natural action makes it especially de
sirable in the case of children , a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de
sired result next morning , with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy , write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell , 201 Washington St. , Mon-
ticello , 111. , for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.
Very improper.

doesn't want to play Carlisle again ?
Powell I believe the Cambridge
boys caught the Indians doing some
thing redhauded.
Not only say the right thing in the
right place , but , far more difficult still ,
leave unsaid the wrong thing at the
tempting moment. Sala.

Has Been in Legislative Service.
Fourteen of the twenty-seven aspi
rants for congress in this state have
at various times in their past political
careers served in the legislature of
the state. The list of those who are
desirous of going to higher and better
fields contains the following names of
one-time state lawmakers. W. A. Sel-
leck , C. M. Skiles , W. A. Prince and
Jess Gandy of the 1911 session ; P. A.
Caldwell of the 1907 session ; Ben
Baker of 1905 , H. H. Baldridge of
1903 session , W. F. Stoeker of 1909
session , W. J. Taylor of the 1909 ses
sion , Paul Glark of the 1899 session
and J. A. Donohue of the 1907 session.
| In addition three of the six present
congressmen of the state have served
in the legislature before launching
their booms to become members of
the national lawmaking body. These
are C. H. Sloan of the Fourth district ,
who was a member of the senate in
1895 ; M. P. Kinkaid , who was a mem
ber of the house in 1885 , and C. O.
Lobeck , who was a member of the
senate in 1895.
Graham Taylor Says It's Awful.
Denouncing the Nebraska state pen
itentiary as one of the worst institu
tions of its kind he has ever visited ,
Graham Taylor of Chicago , a national
figure in prison reform , in an address
at Lincoln , censured the public for
laxity in the conduct of the institu
tion.
"Condemned men in solitary cells
are fighting flies .there by the mil
lions , " said the speaker. "Circulation
of pure air is impossible and convicts
are subjected to conditions which , if
the same were jtrue in a lodging house ,
It would be instantly closed by the
board of health.
"Aggravated by what the convicts
say was not a square deal under the
administration of the former warden ,
is it a wonder that these prisoners
grew desperate ? " he asked. The
speaker did not refer to the governor's
1 attitude toward prison reform.
Maggi Will Not Be Deputy Warden.
I The fact that E. G. Maggi of the
! state prison board of pardons started
east and will visit several penitenti-
1 aries is supposed to havfc given rise to
| the rumor that he is going into train
ing as deputy warden of the peniten
tiary. "There is not a word of truth
in it , " said Governor Aldrich. "I have
never given Mr. Maggi a thought. He
will not be appointed deputy warden
by me , and if I should offer it to him
he would not take it , because he is
making more money on the board than
the state can pay him as warden. I
do not know who the deputy will be
because I have not given the matter
consideration. "
Can't Keep the > Dog.
Commandant Hilyard of the Milford
Home for Soldiers does not believe
in kicking the dog around , but he has
issued an ultimatum to a member of
the home that he must not keep a
dog in his room on .the second floor.
The old soldier and his wife , who own
the animal , both resent this ruling'
and make the counter-charge that
Commandant Hilyard himself keeps a
dog. The commandant says he does
not keep his Eskimo dog in the house
and the dog of the old soldier must
go or the soldier and his wife must
pack up and remove.

the escape of three convicts a couple
of weeks ago were given exercise in

umes , that number having been cata
logued during vacation week , when

look on his mother's face soon told the
boy an unusual atmosphere was sur

came suspicious that he was the
cause.
"Well , " he said , looking his mother
straight in the eye , "you don't need to
get sore about it. You got me , didn't
you ? "
Something the Matter , Anyhow.
Little Harold lives in Broad Ripple.
.His mother got him ready for bed
one cold night , and to be sure he
would be warm enough during the
night she took extra precautions , re
lates the Indianapolis News. After
she had put on his little fuzzy paja
mas she tucked him carefully in be
tween the wool blankets. Then to
make doubly sure she got a hot water
bottle for him and the youngster
was , apparently as snug as could be ,
with only his little nose sticking out
from beneath the covers.
When his mother had finished the
tucking-in job she turned down the
light. Soon the entire family was in
bed. But Harold is like most young
sters. He loves his mother , and wish
es lots of attention. So in his child
mind he figured out a way to get her
to his bed.
"Mamma , " he wailed , "I'm cold ! "
"Nonsense , son ! " replied the moth
er , but she never made a move to go
to his rescue.
The little boy tried the opposite.
"Well , I'm too hot , then ! " he yelled.
Up and Down.
Senator Davis , in an interview at
Ozark , derided good humoredly the
aristocratic pretentions that too many
Americans , as soon as they get rich ,
assume.
"It's hard to be aristocratic in a
democracy like this , " said Senator Da
vis. "We've got no criterion , no meas
ure , and hence , as aristocrats , we nev
er can tell where we stand.
" 'Mrs. Dash is no longer in our

" 'Yes , so I understand , ' said an

" 'Yes , ' went on the first woman ,

dropped out some time ago. '
' "Is that so ? ' said the other. 'I
was under the impression that she

Because , Willie , the chicken don't know how to create a hard-shelled egg unless
it has some food with lime in it.
So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel , broken oyster shells or some
other form of lime.
Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly. '
Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled.
Let's step from chickens to human beings.
Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman have nervous pros
tration or brain-fag ? There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain.
If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve cen
tres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the
activities of yesterday.
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite
albumin and water to make gray matter.
Grape-Nuts food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.
