says: “Birth control and painless childbirth are the only two feminine crusades that matter.” Perhaps she is right. And look at the line-up against them. Many phyisicians, many* old wives, many young mothers even, will line up back of the old metaphysical defense, “Nature’s way is best.” Pirsons like Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president ot Leland Stanford University, whose words you recall:

“I think the high death rate (of American mothers) can be traced directly to the widespread use of methods to ease the pain of Nature's process,’’ stand in our way. Let the Di\ Wilburs think we are soft, if they wish. We are not. We are the hard-boiled, modern race. We see no glory hi pain and selfsacrifice. We don't want to suffer, we want to live. We are not afraid of life in the raw, but we see no point in making life rawer than it inevitably is. We want children, but we want to be physically and nervously healthy to enjoy them after we’ve borne them. •’Nature’s way ’ is not good enough for us. We will shop around for physicians whose scientific excellence is based on the quality of mercy. Temple Rebekah lodge will meet at 8 Tuesday in the Holliday building.

WOMEN'S COUNCIL FAVORS CITY PLANT Indianapolis Council of Women Wednesday passed a resolution recommending that the city establish its own electric power plant and opposing the proposed ten-year electric power contract between the city and the Indianapolis Power and Light Company.

6 THIS CHANGE Helps Children Intestinal irritation in many growing girls and boys can be traced to one mistake. \re you making this mistake with tour children? The “liquid test” vill tell.

“What is this “liquid test” they talk about?” ask mothers. Just this: a simple way of finding out if any boy or girl with irregular or insufficient bowel movements is in need of relief, or is getting the wrong treatment. Doctors urge a liquid laxative for children. The child who has been convalescing in a hospital will often come out with bowels working like a well-regulated watch. Hospitals give children a liquid laxative of suitable ingredients, suitable strength, and in suitable amount. The Proper Treatment Give that sluggish child 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 docs not upset them. Just give any headachy, bilious child a little of this gentle laxative when constipated, and a little less if dose is repeated until the bowels seem to be moving regularly and thoroughly without need of help. How to Begin Stop 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. It is not wise to give laxatives of

adult strength to a child, just because you give them less frequently or in less amounts. So, got a bottle of California Svrup of Figs from your druggist, and start tonight, if your child is constipated, giving a good, cleansing dose. Repeat if necessary, giving a little less each time. That’s the secret of this treatment gradually reduced dosage. When you change to California Syrup of Figs instead of harsh medicines, you’ll risk no more violence to your child’s appetite, digestion, and general physical condition. You’ll have a safer and more satisfactory result, too. 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. Re certain that it is the genuine product, with “California” blown in the bottle.
