in Your bowels!
Poisons absorbed into the system from
souring waste ir. the bowels, cause that
headachy, sluggish, bilious condition:
coat the tongue; foul the breatn; sap
energy, strength and nerve-force. A little
of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harmlessly,
in a hurry. The diflerence it will make
in your feelings over night will prove
its merit to you
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for
forty-seven years. This long experience
enabled him to make his prescription
just what men, womer., old people and
children need to make their bowels help
themselves. Its natural, miltf, thorough
action and its pleasant taste commend
it to people cf all ages. That’s why
“Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,’’ as it ig
called, is the most popular laxative
drugstores sell.

variations from normal, which ma.> oe called “imbalar-.e. ,v or engorgfr

People with big abdomens are sufferers in varying degree, from.
b?ood imbalance. There are many great veins that traverse the ab
dominal wall and visceral content there situated. Anything that may
cause “rush of blood” to these blood-vessels, produces immediate auft

and bowel, depleting the brain for the time being, cauring dizziness

the already overfleshed abdomen. The symptoms may amount to *
temporary helplessness, a not very enjoyable feeling in elderly pc*-

I believe without accurate figures, that one-fourth of the blcofc
volume may flow in a great tidal-wave to a ponderous abdomen, frcati
overexert ion, overeating, etc.; and a that this condition reacts heaii^

there comes a loss

by vain regrets that

as it might have.
It is all-important
that every policy be

Where mice are constant pests in
fields or orchards, the Bic logical
Survey, of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, recom
mends the placing of poison sta
tions where the mice will have
ready access to them. The:ie will
protect the bait from the weath
er and keep It in good condition for
a long time. Wide-mouthed bot
tles or jars, small drain-tiles, tin
cans, or commercial stations now
on the market are suitable. A
practical home-made station may
be made from galvanized sheet
metal and pipe. -Cut the sheet
metal into a section 5 by 10 inches.
Bend the metal over a / 2-inch pipe
and fasten by four nails to wood
en bases 1 by 2 1-4 by 6 inches.

This resembles a “covered wagon,”
and affords good shelter for the
bait. Set one station in a dry
place with good air circulation
near the base of each tree. Cov
ering the stations with coarse
brush or pruhings makes them
more attractive to the mice. Ex
amine them periodically and refill
them if necessary.

A bit of garlic rubbed around the
salad bowl, or cooked with stew
ed chicken or meat—just enough
to give a mere suggestion of fla
vor,—makes for many people an
acceptable improvement in flavor.
Remove the garlic “clove” before
serving the dish.

quinces and peaches, for canning
or preserving.
A pamphlet issued by one of the big insurance companies tells
how to act in emergencies: how to revive a drowning person; how £r-
bandage a burn; what to do for snake bite.
On this last subject there is an introductory sentence which is sei i*.
big type for emphasis. It reads:
DONT* STOP TO KILL THE SNAKE.
The idea contained in that crisp utterance has far-flung appheat-
tions. Whether any specific deed should or should not be done im
pends not merely upon its character but equally upon the circumstancas
and ihe :ime.
Years ago I interviewed Dr. John R. Mott, a great leader, and y'
him his rules for selectihg exeeuxives.
“I watch a candidate for a long time before I decide,” he answereiL
‘T want to satisfy myself on two points: Does he do small tha^fc
well? Does he do ^TRST things ^IRST?”
As he spoke I remembered a well intentioned, hard working man wflw
was under my observation at one time. He had a most amazing cagr
acity for doing his work in the wrong order.
He was to meet his boss one day at the Grand Central Station wiSh
tickets for Detroit. Hie boss arrived five minutes before train thm
and, telephoning to the office, foun i the man still at his desk. T5z~
excuse was that he was engaged on a plan which he thought mlg&£>
possibly double the business and he had become so engrossed in it thak
he had forgotten his watch.
The plan might have been all right, though it turned out rndt tc Ife,
but in dealing with it at the wrong time he caused the boss to mas &.
train and lose an order. - .
He was forever writing memoranda on matters outside his depada^
ment, while neglecting the routine duties, for which was paid.
was usually late to the office because he had gone opt of his way !**’

All of his activities were inspired by a genuine desire to increase ht*
business and so raise his own earning power. But he was a
and was finally fired.
Th.e human race possesses all the information necessary foi Jhc
successful conduct of its affairs. Many of its troubles arise becaao*-
men fail to make a schedule and arrange tljeir tasks in the order
relative impqrtance.
The parade is held up by perfectly good people stopping to do per
fectly proper things at exactly the improper time—letting the patiemfc.
perish while they earnestly kill the snake.
One way to make vacation Ies~
tedious to children, with their
constant plea of “What can I do
now, mother?” is to assume that
they will help with some of the
work, and then teach them how to
do it. Any child of school age is
perfectly able to help with such
ordinary tasks as sweeping, dust
ing, running the vacuum cleaner,
washing dishes, making beds, and
even some of the cooking. Little
girls actually like to wash their
own socks and hankies, and boys
like the responsibility of some def
inite jobs, particularly those in
which tools are used. It takes
more time at first to teach the
childi-en how to do these tasks
than to do them yourself, but af
ter a while, they manage nicely.
Let their reward be a number of
periods in which you enter into
their play with them,—have a pic
nic, or invite some of their friends
in for games, or get up a little
play. Remember that rewards come
