WEATHER THEORY BASED ON GROUND m ILLFOUNDED Government Bureau Discredits Superstitious Ideas. Bu United Preen WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Weather conditions on certain days of the year do not control the elements for long periods in the future the United States weather bureau announced, warning superstitious persons not to put their faith in absurd weather prediction". For example, the bureau pointed out, many people believe in forecasts starting from certain supposedly important key or control dates in the year. ‘Month Like Day* “It is said that as the first of January is so will be all the rest of the month: that the second day of January—though itself already ruled by the first—determines the wjeather for February, and strangely enough also that of the following September and the third of January likewise ruled by the first, is a model of the coming month,” the Government bureau stated. “The third of January is also credited for fixing the weather of the following nine weeks. If we go on to St. Paul's day, Jan. 25, we find assurance that if it be fine so will all the rest of the year be.” Reliable Guide The weather bureau discredits all such forecasts and advises the public

OR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 63

To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111., a practicing physician for forty-seven years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills, lie constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity.” In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin mother have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, bilious,

against believing in them. The bureau also pointed out that the elements following Ground Hog day or Candlemas day, Feb. 2, are not ruled forty days thereafter by conditions on that day. “The only reliable guide of weather behavior is the record of what has happened in the past, and as much records show considerable variety in the weather as a rule, it is absurd to base long distance prophecies on them,” the bureau said. ISSUE WARNING ON CROSSINGITRACKS Failure to Heed Flagmen Causes Two Deaths. Watch the flagman at railroad crossings, is the warning issued by Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Club, after seeing statistics prepared by the accident prevention bureau of the police department, whose data show that four deaths have been caused in the past two months on account of motorists failing to watch the crossing flagman. "From the reports, it seems that motorists will stop at the crossing to allow a train to pass and then without looking for a signal from the flagman, they will drive upon the tracks and be hit by another train coming from the same direction or an opposite direction.” says Mr. Stoops. “Gambling with death with a few seconds to gain is not much of a sporting chance. Watch the at the railroad crossing. If one must gamble, let it bo with money and not witli human lives.”
