Save the Babies INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realise that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! . We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castona would save inany of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these inf antile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger m the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind, s/ Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of J'&sCCAC&C

IT’S NOT YOUR HEART; IT’S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respecter of persons. A majority of the ills afflicting people today can be traced back to the kidney trouble. The kidneys are the most important organs of the body. They are the filterers of your blood. If the poisons which are swept irom the tissues by the blood are not eliminated through the kidneys, disease of one form or another will claim you as a victim. Kidney disease is usually indicated by weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, backache, stomach trouble, pain in loins and lower abdomen, gall stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica and ‘lumbago. , _ All these derangements are natures

HAVE TO “HAND IT TO THEM”

Modern Youngsters Quickly Get Wise as to the Intricacies of “High Finance.” The three brothers, aged seven, nine and eleven, were fighting among themselves almost all the time. Their mother was complaining of this to their grandfather on the occasion of his weekly visit. “All of them have fought like this?” grandfather inquired, looking reproachfully at the three offenders. Mother was always just. “Well, John hasn’t fought as much as the two younger ones,” she informed grandfather. Then grandfather handed John a half-ddllar for his abstinence. The money had its effect, and that week there was more peace and harmony In the household than there had been for a long time. Mother reported the change to grandfather at the end of the next week. And he rewarded all alike by handing each a dime. Half an hour later mother happened to hear the boys discussing the gl?t. “Only a dime apiece,” John was •scornful, “and last week he gave me a whole half-dollar. I’ll tell you what let’s do. You two fight. Then when he gives me the half-dollar I’ll divide up. Then we’ll have 15 cents apiece, besides a between nickel. Will you do It?” And the other two agreed.—lndianapolis News.

PRIZED RELICS OF THE MAGI

Cologne Cathedral Said to Contain the Skulls of the Three “Wise Men of the East.” A British army chaplain celebrated mass recently in the great Cologne cathedral at the altar of the relics of the Magi, the skulls of the three wise men who came from the East to visit the newly born Savior at Bethlehem. Tradition says that the Empress Helene procured the bones and took them to Constantinople, whence they were removed to Milam In 1164 they were presented by Frederick Barbarossa to Archbishop Relnald von. Dassel, who brought them to Cologne. At first they were kept in the chapel' of the Magi, the central chapel of theseven flanking the choir, but since the war they have been put away in the cathedral treasury, near the organ. The bones are kept in a golden reliquary, a costly specimen of Romanesque craftsmanship in the form of a basilica, said to have been made about 1200 A. D. In the Cologne coat-of-arms three crowns are represented, the ownership of the Magi relics having suggested the design.

REBUILD OLD LAND

British Are Injecting Life Into Ancient Egypt. Occupation Has Resulted in Substantial Improvement in the General Welfare of the Country—Standards of Living Raised.

The British have been in actual occupation of Egypt for thirty-seven years (although Egypt was nominally* a province of Turkey up to the war) and most certainly have effected.substantial improvements for the general welfare of the country. A measure of self-government for towns and cities has been realized, which is really constructive. Town awakening is contagious. When in some hoary, blinking, bleached and odoriferous old town a few individuals, aroused more or less, succeed in slia king each other up sufficiently to start a 4own council, and impose a tax of perhaps $20,000 a year, spending It at first on street cleaning and a few lamps, then on some ghaffirs (policemen) and perhaps a water tower, the qdjacent towns begin casting envious eyes in the direction of the ambitious one.

Irrigation has been a special concern of the British and they have constructed the great dam at Assuan, costing over $21,000,000. Railways also have been considerably extended. Manufacturing has made small headway, but the country is essentially agricultural irr character. Cotton industries may some day develop on the foundation of the excellent quality of the Egyptian cotton. Industries are showing a much greater degree of growth than in the past, such as sugar refining, boot-making, stone work, ceramic manufacture, glass-making aind chemical fertilizers. With the. increasing prosperity of the country at large the towns and cities must expand and be largely rebuilt. This will lead to a development of the artisan class, as well as of the commercial and professional classes, so that the consequent demand for labor must enlist the fellaheen for city pursuits. This means the higher cost of agricultural labor and a consequent raising, of the standards of the fellah, both as to his methods of work and his living standards. Before the war farm labor Commanded about 15 cents a day, but during the war it rose somewhat. due largely to the formation of the Egyptian labor corps for military service in Sinai and Palestine. The labor corps has heen kept at a strength of about 120.000 men. Altogether something like 1,500,000 men have been relayed to this service, which is still operating most effectively.—Jackson Fleming in Asia Magazine.

On Changing One’s Mind.

If you brag that, after you have made up your mind you never change it, you boast that you are standing still. Things are happening with a rush in th_e world these days. Forces long invisible are becoming visible. Institutions are being shaken. We have seen, •for example, the fall of the mon' archistic idea after centuries of unchallenged power. If you judge people by first impressions, and hang with bulldog stubbornness to your judgments, you are certain to make mistakes. They Lincoln wasn’t' brilliant enough to be president because he was ungainly of figure and unpolished of manner. If you judge" ideas by first impressions, you convict yourself of having an idea-proof brain. Welcome the new idea, whoever presents it to you. Check it up with your old ideas and with your experience gnd knowledge. Don’t.be afraid to say to the other fellow: “You’re right; I’m wrong.” Don’t,be afraid to think. —Louisville Herald.

Royal Visitors to America.

A future king of England was the first royal visitor from Europe to land In the United States. He was Prince William Henry, afterward King William IV, who arrived in New York in •1782, a few months before the British troops left- -that city, the-Detroit News recalls. The Country, while it did not show much enthusiasm in welcoming the hpir. to the throne, did endeavor to prolong his stay here. In fact, tradition asserts that soldiers of the American army secretly entered New York, but were unable to find the proper opportunity kidnap the prince; Sixteen years after the visit of Prince William Henry, another Englishman, the duke of Keift, fourth son of George IH, anti father of Queen Victoria, came to the United States on a naval trip, but there is no record of an official reception.

Short and Simple Will.

By the will of Mrs. Annie Davidson of Newburgh, N.

THE FOLLY OF BUYING IMITATIONS A pattent buying a cheap, low grade imitation is the only party who suffers damage. For the manufacturer of the original remedy .such imitations are only a proof that its merits are realized. Trlner’s American Elixir of Bitter JVine Is a first-class remedy for constipation, indigestion, headaches and other stomach disorders. It acts safely and without griping. It enjoys now a 30-year reputation. t It has been imitated in every respect: the preparation, its name, label, lately even the advertisements and the package. Therefore we must insist that our customers be sure to investigate if they are getting Triner’s American Elixir of Bitter Wine and not a cheap, low grade, disguised imitation. Triner’s remedies are sold at every drug store. —Joseph Trlner - Company, 1333-43 8. Ashland Aye., Chicago, Hl. —Adv.

Tod SHORT TO DO UP AND STILL FALLING A little "Danderine” stops your hair coming out and doubles its beauty. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a small bottle of delightful “Danderine” at any drug or-toilet counter for a few cents, pour a little in your hand and rub it into the scalp.
