THIS CHANGE P® gives Children iyfc a Chance |HLb Avoid the mistake made by so | many parents in treating children. | If your girl or boy is occasionally |J| | l||l| upset or ailing, why not make the || I i||||| "liquid test” described here? \ *

Perhaps you have tried all sorts of ways to keep a child’s bowels in proper condition, and failed. Yet. a child who has been convalescing in a hospital, will usually come out with bowels working like a well-regulated watch. The average mother gives any laxative the family may be using, while doctors give children a liquid laxative of suitable ingredients. suitable strength, and in suitable amount. Try This Way: Avoid all use of mineral drugs, whether they are salts, pills, tablets, or "candy” form. Even once a month is too often to give any child a cathartic strong enough for adults. Use a liquid laxative containing senna (a natural laxative). California Syrup of Figs has the right amount for children's use. and this rich, fruity syrup does not upset a child's system. Give that headachy or bilious child a little of this gentle laxative when constipated, and a little less jf dose is repeated until bowels seem to be moving regularly and thoroughly of their ow n accord. Doctors Say This: A liquid laxative is safest for children of any age. because the dose can be regulated, and its action controlled. It is not wise to

Manners and Morals

Other letters have arrived in replv to Mr. Adler's accusation that Jane Jnrdan's advice to the vounger generation is criminal and ruinous in some respects. All opinions are welcome.

Dear Jane Jordan—l must admit that Mr. Adler is right when advising that great precaution should be used in curbing the manner in which morality is viewed today by

the young element. Liberty does not mean license to degrade the law of marriage. If every person makes it a personal law' to suit his or her convenience and desire, then legal marriage might as well be abolished. That is unthinkable if for no other reason than

our children's future. Matters are getting worse and very fast. The young element today sem to have no respect for any one, not even their parents. I believe in advising the young people to keep their records clear so their minds and hearts as well as conscience always will be at rest. Written at the request of a great many young ladies in our employ, and as my personal opinion. PREVENT SORROW. Answer —If you can find any column of mine in which I do not advise young people to keep their records clear, will you please clip it and send it to me?

give a laxative of adult strength to a child, just because you give it less often or in less amounts. Stomach upsets and bowel troubles of growing bogs and girls can often be traced to this mistake. When you change to pure California Syrup of Figs instead of harsh medicines, you risk no more violence to your child's appetite, digestion, and general physical condition. You'll have a safer, more satisfactory’ result, too. Those little upsets and complaints just disappear as a rule and the child is soon normal again. Try ill

THE “LIQUID TEST” This is the way to relieve occasional sluggishness, or constipation in a child of any age: First: select a liquid laxative of the proper strength for children. Second: give the dose suited to the child’s age. and condition. Third: reduce the dose, if repeated, until the bowels are moving without any help at all. An ideal laxative for this purpose is California Syrup of Figs which every druggist keeps in stock. Be certain that it is the genuine product, with "California’* blow n m the bottle.

BY JANE JORDAN

1 Dear Jane Jordan—More praise to you! I am much in sympathy with your ideas and more so because you don’t let such people as Mr. J. B. Adler get you down! Your statement that it is healthy to regard what is past as educational, but unhealthy to regard it as ruinous, surely did fit the ocasion and I’m copying the same in my scrap book. I'm happily married. My husband and I get along splendidly and don’t believe in lots of things which our friends do, but where they sin one way. perhaps we do another. Your broadminded advice is helpful to those who want help! E. F. S. Answer—Thank you for your letter. Some readers overlook the fact that girls on the verge of a free love affair, and girls who are suffering from the aftermath of such an affair receive quite different advice. an a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a woman in the medium stage of life and have seen many sad cases in which people regret their actions after it is too late. Many children are brought into this life and placed in an orphan’s home to suffer for the wrong done by young people. In other cases we know murder is committed to cover up the crime. I believe Mr. Adler is sincere and is trying to do good by insisting upon the constant warning to make people think getting into trouble. I also think his idea is to uplift the morality of people and not criticise in a mean spirit. Marriage today is regarded as a joke by many and they feel they have a right to do anything they want to without being legally married. Therefore, I think his criticism is constructive, and should be acepted in a good spirit. LAURA. Answer—Do you think that fearsome warnings and stern prohibitions do more to make people behave than a rational explanation of the case which leaves the decision up to them? a s ss Dear Jane Jordan—l am on your side. I also agree with Joseph B. Adler that women should guard their virtue. On the other hand, you can't be forever harping on virtue. Your column would grow stale. People want something interesting as well as helpful. I think the way you go about being helpful is very interesting, not only to the person in question, but to the readers. The readers get ideas from you and what they should do before their problem has presented itself. I think it would be rather unwise to sign names and addresses to our letters. If one’s sins and weaknesses became the property of others it would be embarrassing. What a world this would be if there were no variety, especially in ideas! So I say. “On with the argument, and hurrah for Jane Jordan and her column!” MRS. TWENTY-SIX. Answer—The constant harping on virtue which you mention is responsible for the present swing toward freedom.

Adult education, the speaker described as one of the greatest contributions to the wise use of leisure for in this way mature life may be enriched.

Use of Pressure Cooker Being Demonstrated by Expert at Sears Store Foods Prepared by Method Being Served to Guests; Two Meals Scheduled for Each Day of Event. BY HELEN LINDSAY A FrER having their interest in cooking renewed by The Times Cooking School, which closed last night at Keith's, following three successful days. Indianapolis housewives will be interested in attending tha pressure cooker demonstration at the Sears. Roebuck Sc Cos. store today and tomorrow. Manager John Burke has announced the presence of a nationally known demonstrator of the cooker. A part of the store has been turned into a kitchen, and in this section the demonstration of foods prepared in

a short time by the cooker will be made. An entire meal will be cooked at each demonstration, one at 11 and one at 3. in addition to a demonstration at 7:30 tomorrow night. The food prepared in the cooker will be served to guests of the demonstration. Following each demonstration, a question and answer period will be conducted concerning the cooker and its operation. a a a School Lunch Menus Arranged MENUS arranged by Mrs. Areva V Hadley, nutrition director for the Governor's commission of unemployment relief, have been sent to county supervisors, as suggestions for school lunches for children of families on relief rolls in Indiana. Seven menus have been arranged, each providing

milk, one hot beverage or soup, sandwiches or salad, bread and butter and a simple dessert, and raw- fruit when possible. The menus suggested by Mrs. Hadley, while they are primarily Intended for the use of families on relief, are suited to all school children, and mothers who are eager to provide foods most beneficial for their children will be interested in them. The menus follow: Bean soup with milk added, raw carrot and cabbage sandwich. Ground meat and egg sandwiches on whole wheat bread, whole tomato, gingerbread and milk. Salmon and celery sandwiches, cookies and banana, milk or cocoa. Vegetable soup, peanut butter sandwiches, raw carrot cut in fine strips, tapioca pudding. Cream of tomato soup, cheese sandwich, celery, chocolate cup cakes. Potato soup (made with milk), deviled eggs, thin bread and butter sandwiches, raw apple. Cream of split pea soup, liver sandwiches, w'hole tomato or celery, baked rice pudding. In addition to these menus, the commission has sent out bulletins and pamphlets outlining low cost diets for entire families. Between 2,000 and 25,000 copies of these are distributed each month to recipients of relief to assist them in purchasing groceries and preparing meals. Kinds and amounts of foods to buy are stressed in the bulletins. Mrs. Hadley suggests in these bulletins that families purchase milk, leafy vegetables, both green and yellow', and fruits first, and then buy fats and sugars. A number of new recipes for the preparation of meat that has been canned by the commission also are being placed in the hands of the families. Mrs. Hadley makes periodical talks before county group meetings in which she outlines both food and general budgets to be followed by relief families. 000 000 Woman Chides Feminine Writers but clever criticism of women writers is given in an article by Gi'ace Adams, “When Ladies Write,” published in the November issue of The American Spectator. “Writers are, of course, the most arrogant and self-important race of people that have ever cluttered the earth—worse, even, than artists and actors,” Miss Adams writes. Speaking of the modern woman, she says, “Emotionally and mentally she is just as dependent upon some man or another as ever her grandmothers were. Her intelligence, her education and her ability to earn her own living may make this dependence less obvious, but they make it no less real. “Every sensible woman, who is also honest, knows this fact as well as men do. And until the feminine writer knows it, too, and is walling to acknowledge it on paper, her picture of the ‘intelligent modern woman’ will continue to be distorted by that unholy ideal that she has constructed of herself.”
