1 i ! Thursday, r ebru< McCOKuflCK MESSENGER, McCORMICE, SOUTH CAROUNA 1 PAGE NUMBER I / m How to train BABY’S BOWELS Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with vny tendency to be constipated, would thrive if they received daily, half a teaspoonful of this old family doctor’s prescription for the bowels. That is one sure way to train tiny bowels tc healthy regularity. To avoid the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure to gain, and other ills of constipated ' babies. Dr. Caldwells* Syrup Pepsin is good for any baby. For this, you nave the word of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of practice taught him just what babies need to keep their little bowels active, regular; keep little bodies plump and healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized in the treatment of women and little opes. He attended over 3500 births with out loss of one mother or baby. Dr. W. B. Caldwell’s SYRUP PEPSIN A Doctor's Family Laxative VtflY,, i. Alt st MAW MARSHALL COOLIDGE— I heard the latest Calvin Coondge anecdote the other night from a gentleman who had recently visit ed the ex-President at Northamp ton. “Everywhere I go I find an over whelming desire to have you back in the White House, Mr. Coolidge,’ my informant said to him. “You really ought to run for President again.” Mr. Coolidge shook his head, with a faint smile. “No,” he said, “It won’t do. The basis of that idea is all wrong. They ail want to get rich again Which confirms my long held be lief that Clvin Coolidgea has about as sound common sense and as keen an understanding of popular psychology as any living American. HOOVER— I think there has been a notice able change in the public attitude toward Mr. Hoover in the past month: At least, I hear less abuse of the President and more expres sions of sympathy. People are real izing that he has been unfairly blamed for conditions for which he was not responsible, and now that he has presented a sound and com plete rehabilitation program to Congress, and Congress has started off by accepting it, I hear less talk about his supposed inaction in the face of a serious crisis I have not seen the President for several months, but friends who have talked with him lately say that he acts and talks like a man who had found the answers to problems that had been baffling him UNEMPLOYMENT— The town of Peekskill, New York, as a part of its plan to raise funds for the relief of the unemployed, put tin boxes at every eating place in town and asked everybody to drop one cent in the box before each meal. The surprising result is a fund which runs to $1,500 a week. More important than raising money for the unemployed, it seems to me, is making sure that this money does not go to people who could get jobs, but who will not take them. The other night in a hotel elevator I heard two men lalking. “There were fprty-two jobs at $6 a day,” said one of them. “The un employment bureau sent us fifty men and thirty-six of them refused to work because they would get their hands dirty.” They said they could get money from the unem ployment fund to live on and they would rather do that than do “dirty” work. There is no doubt in my mind that, in the cities at least, a large part of the money which kind- hearted people have contributed to help the unemployed is being spent to keep in idleness men who could easily find work if they were not what Down-Easters call “choosy.” DOCTORS— Doctors, like everybody else, are noi finding it easy to meet their obligations or collect their bills with a paper pattern you do not “ e f d u ay! \ To ° many P e °P le thinl J need to have a speeial pattern for that u th * d< f ca " wa,t untU the shirred part as the shirring, else has-been paid, may be done before the piece Here is the new shirred evening wrap. It is the sort of thing you would wear iat this time of the year merely as an accessory dinner or theatre jacket, but later on in the warmer months of the year it would serve as an adequate out door evening wrap. This little wra'p with its all-over shirring may not fit into your scheme of things, but if you do any home dressmaking you will doubt less find other ways of using shir ring. The work may be done on chiffon, georgette, silk, crepe, chif fon, velvet or any other soft ma terial. It can be used on yoke, cuffs or collars and if you are working FRANK PARKER STOCKBKiPsg jurists, but the only surviving vet eran of the Civil War to hold high public office. Justice Holmes served as a cap tain in the Union Army from 1861 to 1865, and was seriously wounded in battle three times. His father, the famous Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, was the author of such poems as “Old Ironsides,” “The One-Hoss Shay,” and “The Last Leaf,” as well as many books and essays. Justice Holmes inherited his father’s literary skill, and his opinions from the bench were mas terpieces of simple, plain English. Very few men in America have had such a long and distinguished record of public service. x Vacancies In The Government nKfi® FOR THE S! ></ NANCY HAW Crab Apple Jelly— ) Wash, remove blossom ends, but do not peel or core.

The American Medical Associa tion has been making a survey of doctors’ incomes and reports that it takes altogether about ten years in college and hospital work and getting a practice established be fore the average doctor begins to earn enough to live on. The next ten years, or a large part of it, his surplus has to go to pay for the cost of his medical training. Very few doctors get to the point of in dependence in less than twenty years afer starting their medical studies. Every doctor has to do, and does do, a certain amount of charity work. Those who can afford to pay have less excuse for postponing their doctors’ bills than for defer ring payment of almost any other debts.
