Don’t Neglect a Cold Now, is Doctor’s Advice

Don’t neglect any cold nowadays. Colds are so wakening; and in a weakened condition, you are so susceptible to more serious troubles. When you find y° u are catching cold, take care to keep the bowels open. That’s the first precaution every doctor advises. That's the way to avoid the congestion which makes you feverish, achy, half-sick, miserable. Millions know the quick way to open the bowels, keep them active, is with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup of Pepsin. Every second bf the day someone. somewhere is going into a drug store to get a bottle of tfcis splendid medicine, made from simple laxative herbs and pepsin by the formula Doctor Caldwell found so effective during his 47 years’ medical practice. , Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup of Pepsin is mild and gentle in its action, but it is promptly effective on the most robust constitution. Containing neither narcotics or opiates, it is safe for the tiniest baby. Children like it and take it gladly. for colds, fevers, biliousness, indigestion. headaches, heartburn, nausea, bad breath, loss of sleep—any troubles caused by poor digestion or faulty evacuation.

MODERN MISS MAY WEAR BELLS ON HER TOES

—i By courtesy of the Traphagen School of Fashion. ) A rare collection from Zanzibar and British East Africa includes a necklace of amber and silver, bracelets, earrings, a lipstick aDd chin chain c-f silver and anklets and sandals of heavily engraved silver.

BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 18. The 1929 modern miss really may have “rings on her fingers and bells on her toes” before the year is out. For the latest source of inspiration for modern jewelry comes from the jewelry worn by the natives of Zanzibar and British East Africa, and bells are one of their chief decorative notes. . It really is conceivable that, with the current bare-legged vogue, women may take to the African ornamental clogs that have tinkling bells as their most original decoration. Necklace Intricate More important than the bells, possibly, are the intricate stunning designs on the native silver, gold and brass necklaces, earrings, headpieces, anklets, and bracelets. That these designs may be studied at close range, Ethel M. Traphagen, recently returned from Africa, has brought back one of the finest collections of rare museum pieces of jewelry from Zanzibar and British East Africa. Her pupils will use the designs, not only for jewelry but for decoration on new spring frocks. The motif on an anklet may prove just the right touch, when copied in color, for a little frock that is strictly modern. Or deep bracelet may suggest something entirely new in cuffs for anew suit. Take, for instance, a necklace that formerly belonged to a sultana. It uses some perfectly beautiful amber chunks in conjunction with exquisite silvery filagree that has perhaps two dozen different little motifs worked out by hand. Necklace Shape Is Bizarre The shape of the necklace, moreover, is new, bizarre and, changed slightly, might be quite the most stunning adornment any woman could dream of. On this necklace there are fully a half hundred musical little silver bells, some of them attached by delicate little hand-made silver rings, each with its own little decorative touch at the top, any one of which is suggestive of anew design. The earrings that go with this necklace —for Zanzibar sultanas apparently had ensembles of jewels just as American and clusters of three little bells, suspended by finely wrought silver chains of intricate links. The chin-chain, anew note in jewelry for us. repeats the charming links of the earrings. RICH YOUTH MARRIES Grandson of Thomas Fortune Ryan Wed Secretly to Divorcee. Dii United Press NEW YORK.

'We Are Too ’ Women in Congress Differ on Fitness of Sex v for Cabinet Posts.

BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. Women in congress disagree on whether women have reached sufficient development in politics and business affairs for one of their sex to become a member of a President’s cabinet. Mrs. Florence P. Kahn, (Cal., Rep.) and Mrs. Pearl B. Oldfield ( Ark., Dem.) are opposed to women cabinet members. Mrs. Katherine Langley (Rep., Ky.) and Mrs. Edith N. Rogers, believe many women are qualified for such a post. Mrs. Norton (N. J., Dem.) is ill and could not be seen. “It seems to me a woman for a cabinet post would require special training and unusual ability,” Mrs. Kahn said. “She would need unusual ability because more is expected of women in any big executive position. “A successful woman in a cabinet position would throw open the doors for other women to follow, but an unsuccessful woman would close them tight for many years to come.” Mrs. Langley said many women in the business world are qualified to assume a cabinet post and conduct the executive business successfully. “The hue and cry that women are not qualified for high posts is distasteful and it appears there is an attempt to relegate them to a position of inferiority.” Mrs. Oldfield, the youngest member of the house .in point of service said she does not believe women have reached the point where they are qualified for a cabinet post. Mrs. Rogers declared there is no reason why a woman properly qualified could not be apopinted to the cabinet. " The first woman cabinet officer undoubtedly would have a difficult time as she would be the target for all kinds of attacks, but many women are qualified for the post,” she said.

First Year Not Always the Hardest BY MARTHA LEE It's an old proverb, mouthed from generation to generation, that “the first year is the hardest.” Mothers start telling their children about it almost before they are out of the cradle. From the crawling stage up to the time they are ready to take the walk down the aisle, all they have ever heard is “The first year is the hardest. After that everything is smooth sailing.” Now the trouble is, if the youngsters only would stop to think, that there is a deep fallacy in that statement. In the first place, they have seen their own parents, their friends’ pamets, and even their grandparents put on the gloves and go a bout or two, and that old first year is so far back they hardly can remember the date. They no longer observe their wedding anniversaries, unless it happens to be the fiftieth (golden). They no longer take a vacation each year at exactly the same time when their first honeymoon took place. They no longer observe any of the tender and sentimental little dates that young married couples love to observe And still the boxing, the scrapping, the misunderstandings continue. But the kids have been so filled up with the idea that after the first year everything will be jake, that they completely overlook the experiences that daily are being exhibited before their eyes. They are “pointed” toward getting past that first milestone. And, my Lord, how disappointed they are when they find that all is not smooth as Meridian street on an icy day, when they come to the second set. And instead of being philosophical about it and admitting to themselves at least that they have been duped by their parents, they become bitter and grouchy and turn right around and tell their offspring the same old story. Dear Miss Lee—Will you please give me advice on my problem? My husband and I just can’t seem to get along any more. We have been married thirteen years and have three boys and a baby girl 7 months old. My father and my small brother live with us. My husband says that he does not love me and there have been things happen in the last two years that are hard for me to overlook. I always had thought that after a certain period of time, a husband and a wife became used to each other, that companionship would grow. It has been quite a comedown to realize that instead of the companionship I had exspected, I find the breach growing wider and wider every day. ■ We maintain one household because of the children, but there certainly is no love in our home. Do you think the fact that my father and brother are here could have anything so do with it? I have two sisters and two brothers, but they never have offered to help me out in the care of my father and brother. Do you think we should break up our home? My husband does not make enough money to maintain two households. If we should, I would have to put the children In a home, because I could not make enough to keep us all, and besides, they are too small to leave every day. My husband is so grouchy around the home. Do you think, if he does not care for me, there is some other woman that he does care for? E. P. F. I think you and your husband should have a good serious talk the very next time he looks the least bit gabby. Give him a good dinner, all his favorite dishes, and set him down in a chair to talk things over. I certainly would not suggest that you break up your home, because your children deserve the care of both father and mother. You would find it pretty difficult going alone with three boys on your hands. Tell him that anything would be better than to go on the way you are now. Get him to tell you just exactly what the trouble is. In the meantime, get in touch with your sisters and brothers, and make arrangements whereby each of you will keep your father and brother for the same number of months. It seems to me that when a husband sees his wife being imposed upon by her own relatives he just about decides he can, too. You should do your share, but not every one’s else, too. Luncheon Meeting Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Mothers’ Club met for a 1 o’clock luncheon this noon at the chapter house, 4546 North Pennsylvania street. Mrs. Robert Kinnaird is in charge of the luncheon. A business session followed the luncheon. Miss Anna Lee Howell gave a group of readings.

Ideals of D.A.R.Are Stressed “Arousing the public to a realization of the persistent efforts of anti-defense forces is typical of the many forms of service rendered by the national defense committee os the Daughters of the American Revolution,” said Mrs. Harriet Vaughn Rigdon, Wabash, from her chair as vice-chairman of that committee at national headquarters in Washington. _ Mrs. Rigdon will be on the ballot when national elections take place in the fall, as nominee for national treasurer-general. “The national defense committee has two objectives,” she added, “the support of adequate national defense and the counteracting of subversive influences. We, the Daughters of the American Revolution, believe in adequate preparedness; we indorsed the defense act of 1920 and we still stand for it. “We believe in national defense, the kind that defends only and does not propose war. indulge in imperialism, or impose its will upon others. We stand for the dignity of our Union and for protection of its institutions, and we crave for it a high place in the respect of the other nations of the world. “We know that position which we desire for our countr. can not be attained unless it is able to take its place in the big parade of life and keep step with the best prepared nation there. “There no longer is any middle ground, for aggressors have made that impossible by raising the issue. Therefore, the time has come when every American citizen, consciously or unconsciously, takes a stand, and in so doing commits himself to one or the other policy. Either he is for his country defended and protected, or he is for his country defenseless and unprotected.” In the course of the interview, Mrs. Rigdon declared, “I can see no reason why we should not sustain at the present time the hope for ‘domestic tranquillity’ and ‘common defense’ expressed so definitely In the. Constitution of the United States.” Luncheon Is Planned Delta Beta chapter, Psi lota Xi sorority, will meet at the home of Mrs. Bess Dickerson Friday night. Plans for the mid-year luncheon to be held at the Columbia Club, Saturday, Feb. 9. will be made. To Install Officers Camp No. 3, P.
