HOW MANY WORDS
NEEDED TO “SAY
IT PERFECTLY”?
^ A British professor says It requires
a knowledge of 50,000 words to read
the London Times Intelligently and
adds that there are 850 words, with
which a person limited to that num
ber could say anything he would k be
likely to want to say, and “say* It
perfectly."
The evident Inference Is that the
erudite London newspaper employs
49,150 words that afe superfluous,
mere excess baggage. At least, that
would bd the Inference If we accept
literally the theory that the best
writing Is that which says some
thing In the simplest possible sort of
way.
But of course it Is not always lit
erally true that a worthwhile thing
may be said “perfectly" In the sim
plest sort of way, especially If the
sayer or writer is to be limited to
850 words. The perfection possible
by that method is no more than what
Is Implied In the Statement that a
“perfect” piece of music may be
written with eight notes all In one
key. As a matter of fact, one of thr
chief pleasures of living, though
many do not realize It consciously.
Is found In the fine shades of mean
ing, sound and connotation that sep
arate one word from another very
similar one.
The London Times, we suspect,
will not resent the British profes-
sor’s reflection on Its surplus word-
age but will be content to leave the
sort of simplicity he had In mind
, to—well, to the sort of publication
read • by those whose word knowl
edge encompasses only 850.—Detroit

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take •
“double dose” a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings a more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
mote harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
-brings safe relief from comtipatton.
It gently helps the average person’s
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. It makes an ideal family laxa
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

- Bedtime Story for Children
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
FAREWELLS AND WELCOMES
A LL through the long summer Peter
** watched his feathered friends and
learned things In regard to their ways
he had never suspected. As he saw
them keeping the trees of the Old Or
chard free of insect pests, picking up
countless seeds of weeds everywhere,
and helping Farmer Brown in his gar
den, he began to understand something
of the wonderful part these feathered
September Came and Some of Peter'*
Friends Bede Him Good-by
people have in keeping God’s Great
World beautiful and worth living In.
He had many a hearty laugh as he
watched the bird babies learn to fly
and to find their own food. All about
him all summer long they were going
to school, learning how to watch out
for danger and how to use their eyes
and ears and all the things a bird must
know who would live to grow up.
As the days grew shorter and fall
drew near Peter discovered that his
feathered friends were gathering in
flocks and roaming here and tl^pre. It
was one of the first signs that summer
was nearly over, and It gave him Just
a little feeling of sadness. He heard
few songs, for the singing season was
over. Also he discovered that many
of the hitherto most beautifully dressed
of his feathered friends had changed
their finery for sober traveling suits
In preparation for the long Journey far
south where they would spend the win
ter. The fact Is, he actually failed to
recognise some of them at first
September came and some of Peter’s
friends bade him good-by. They were
starting on the long Journey, planning
to take It in easy stages for the most
part Each day saw some fly away. As
Peter thought of the dangers befere
them he wondered rathefr wistfully If
he would ever see them again. But
some there were who lingered even
after Jack Frost's first visit Welcome
and Mrs. Robin, Winsome and Mrs.
Bluebird, Little Friend the Song Spar
row and his wife were among these.
But by and by even they were forced
fo leave.
Sad indeed and lonely would these
PoYOU Know-
days have been for Peter had It not
been that with the departure of the
friends he, had spent so many happy
hours with was the arrival of certain
other friends from the Far North,
where they had their summer homes.
Some of these stopped for a few days
only. Others came to stay, and Peter
was kept busy looking for and wel
coming them. A few old friends of the
summer would stay all winter. Sammy
Jay was one. Downy and Hairy, the
Woodpeckers, were others. And one
there was whom Peter loves dearly; It
was Tommy Tit the Chlcakadee.
