Their Ft;od.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
iiencc, avoid what seems to
constipate the child or to give it indigestion,
and urge it to take more
of what is quickly digested.
If the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should immediateiv i
be given a mild laxative to help the
L owels. By this is not meant a physic
cr purgative, for these should never
be given to children, nor anything

like salts, piils, etc. vvnat me cnnu j
requires is simply a small dose of
the gentlest of medicines, such as j
Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which.,
in the opinion of thousands of
watchful mothers, is the ideal rem- i
edy for any child showing: a ten- j
dency to constipation. So many;
thinps can happen to a constipated |
child that care is necessary. Colds, j
piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and 1
many other annoyances that chil- i
'ren should not have can usually be :
raced to constipation.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
There comes a time in the life of
all children when they begin to suspect
that Santa Claus does not come
to their home in a handsome sleigh
drawn by a dozen reindeer decorated
with holly and mistletoe and
sleighbells. Before he is very old
the youngster begins to suspect that
this story is not literally true and he
asks his parents if they don't know
something about the matter. Soon;
he guesses that mother and father
/ have mere to do with the things he
finds in his stockings than the mythical
Santa and he is apt to suspect
that other things they have told him
of will eventually prove to be similar
myths. Can anyone answer the
question?Is there a Santa Claus?
After full investigation this department
of The Constitution feels
that it can safely tell the children
that there really is a Santa Claus.
We have studied this question to the
i?* okiiitv nnd the matter
JCSl UX uui uuiiiv
seems to be something like this:
The original Santa Claus was not
exactly a man like the men we see
every day. He was more like a fairy
spirit, who came to this earth to see
that the children should have the
one day of Christmas devoted to
them. Like all fairies, he couldn't
handle the everyday things of life, I
such as wood.paper, sugar,wool and
the other things that toys are made
out of, himself, so he had to find
some human beings to act as his
deputies in the matter. Looking
around to see what kind of people
would be the best and most likely to
give these presents to the children
as he wanted them to be given, he
was seized with the happy idea that
nobody understood little boys and
girls quite so well as their own mothers
and fathers did. So he paid a
visit to the hearts (the heart, you
know, is the part of a person which
is easiest reached by the fairies), of
all the parents in the world and organized
them into a great big company
to act as his agents every
Christmas time. You see, he had to
have a very big crowd of agents.for
there are lots of children when you I
Koon'n tn onunt ud all there are in j
the world. Now every year he starts
out some time before Christmas and
again visits the hearts of all the
parents in the world and whispers to
them what he thinks would be a
suitable present for the children un-:
der their care, and then they go
where he has told them to and they i
get the presents and fix them up in
j. the children's stockings just as Santa
told them he wanted it dnne.
Some children are unfortunate
enough not to have any parents, and !
in their case Santa Claus goes and
finds someone else to do this little
job for him and see that these chil
. drepVfcet what he wants them to
have. It is a thing which shouldn't

never without it in the house. Mrs
Patten says that Syrup Pepsin has;
done wondeis for her boy Ralph, I
who was constipated from birth but is1
now doing fine. Naturally she is enthusiastic
about it and wants other
mothers to use it. Dr Caldwell's J
Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists at
fifty cents and one dollar a bottle,
the latter size being bought by those j
who already know its value, and it
contains proportionately more.
Everybody likes Syrup Pepsin, as
it is very pleasant to the taste. It
is also mild and non-griping and j
free from injurious ingredients.

sample bottle can obtain it postpaid

be true, but nevertheless it some-,
times is, that Santa is unable to find
anybody who has the right kind of
heart for a few of his children, but
that is not his fault, and he docs his:
best every year to provide for every
one of them. And there is one present
that he can give himself without
any help from the parents or other
humans and he gives this present to
f Un okilrl ??An ri oil Al* i
tryci^ uuc ui uic cutiui^ru, uvu vi
poor, good and bad alike. It is the
present of a Christmas heart for the
children themselves and he gives every
one of them the opportunity to
let this heart grow bigger aud bigger
every year,until it is big enough
to act as an agent itself and go and
take his presents to some other little
children. And then the*boy or girl
who has this heart will find that it is
more fun to give the presents than
it is to receive them, for it is a trick
of Santa's to make everv bit of
work anyone does for him a great
big happiness. The parents who are
acting as his agents this Christmas
time will understand how this is,
but of course they know all about
Santa and it is unnecessary to tell
them a simple little thing like that.

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS.
The Birth of Our Lord and How
It Was Celebrated.
Dear Children: ?
1 want you to read and pay close
attention to what I am going to
write to you. You know Christmas
will sonn he here, and you will be
hanging up your stockings and looking
for Santa Ciaus to come down
the chimney to fill them up and then
you will have all kinds of nice things
to eat?candy, cakes, nuts and the
like-and will be giving and receiving
presents.* Now I want to talk to
you about what caused us to keep
Christmas and to give presents.
Don't you remember that our dear
Savior was given to us at that time,
and then when He lay a little babe
in the manger that the wise men
came from a long distance to worship
Him and bring Him presents? |
One beautiful night as some shep-j
herds were out in the fields taking
care of their sheep and goats, for in
that country the cattle were driven!
a long distance to graze on the best |
grass, al! of a sudden a bright light
shone in the skies and the shepherds
were very much afraid. Then the
angel told them not to be afra.J.for 1
he was bringing them joyful news, |
for that very night there was born !
the Saviour in the little town of!
Bethlehem and they would find Him
wrapped in swaddling clothes. That
. I - XT' _ i 1 J? X a. 1
means mar nis motner uiu not nave i
any nice things to dress Him in, but,
just put on Him whatever she couldi
get, for they were very poor. Is it1
not wonderful that the Lord of:
I
glory should choose to come among j
us so poor and humble? That?must
have been to teach us to be kind to I
the poor, and not to look down on j
people because they are poor.
Then directly a great man\ angels i
came and sang. "Glory to God in i
the highest and on earth peace,
good will towards men." Shortly
after these things the wise men
came to bring Him presents and
kneel down and pray to Him.
Now, how did these wise men
know about that little baby? They
were guided to His birthplace by a
star which went before them until
it stood still over the stable, and
when tney got there they went in
and knelt down and gave Him the
presents they had brought for Him:
gold,frankincense and myrrh. Now,
the things they brought were very
costly and the very best they had to
give. Don't you think those wise
men took a great deal of trouble to
come from such a long distance just
to see a humble little baby? These
men were very leafned, and they
knew that the birth of the Saviour
was foretold by the holy prophets
from the most ancient times, and
they knew that He was to be born
in the little town of Bethlehem, and
they knew that He was coming just
that way and at just that time. I
want you to get your Bible and turn
to Isaiah, chapter 9, verses 6 and 7,
and then to Micah, chapter 5 and
verse 2. The wise men stopped at
Jerusalem, which is very near Bethlehem,
and made inquiries as to
where the baby was. They called
him the King of the Jews, and that
made King Herod very uneasy, for
he was afraid that this little child
would grow up and take his power
from him. He did not know that
Christ's kingdom was a spiritual ,not
an earthly one. Was not that a wicked
deed King Herod did? He sent out
soldiers to kill all the little babies
around, hoping to kill Christ among
them,but Joseph, his stepfather,and
Mary, his mother,carried Him away
into Egypt until King Herod died.
Now,if you want to do something
to please Christ, give to some child
rhat can't buv presents and has no
one to give it anything. Be sure to
keep in mind when Christmas comes
that our Saviour was born 1913
years ago. and just think how the
skies were bright with angels praising
God. M C M.
Fit His Case Exactly.
"When father was sick about six
years ago he read an advertisement
of Chamberlain's Tablets in the papers
that fit his case exactly,"
writes Miss Margaret Campbell of
Ft Smith. Ark. "He purchased a
box of them and he has not been'
sick since. My sister had stomach!
trouble and was also benefited by j
them." For sale by all dealers. >
