"HELLO, DAD; HELLO SON," IS KEYNOTE OF FATHER-SON WEEK

"When you first came Into my home you made a lot of noise and I had to walk the floor with you many a night, my son. But soon you grew up to the

stage where you began asking for pennies. A little later It was nickels and dimes and Quarters; then dollars. ' "You used to play pranks and you Ubed to 'ditch' school and you forced me to exercise my arm with the switch. I always told you you never would amount to anything, and I always knew you would amount to a whole lot. Well, you fulfilled my expectation. -You went over to France when your country needed you and you came back with honor. And now you're filling your place as a good American citizen In civilian life. "So after all Is said and done, I

guess you are worth every cent of

money and every hour of toil and anxiety that you cost your mother and me." Thus approximately will the typical

father address the typical son some time this week, for this is "father and Bon week." And the son may reply

eomewnat in this order:

"Well, dad. I used to get sore when you'd bawl me out for smoking, and

men go and light up your own nine

And I used to want to scrap when I had a big date and you made me come home by half -past 1 0. But you're a pretty good old scout, and I know I owe everything to you and mother,

and 1 m glad to be your pal today."

Maybe Mr. Wilson didn't learn of the latter fact till last week. Gossip like that doesn't always travel fast but, when It did reach Mr. Wilson, he

gave vent to a pent-up dissatisfaction with Mr. Lansing's views on the peace treaty and a deep resentment at what he considered a desire to depose the president fo the United States. Prsonally, I ' prefer for the present to believe that the president was, for

the most part, kept in ignorance of what had been going on around him and that those of his friends who have endeavored to create the Impression

that he did know what was happening in the outside world said so merely as a political stratagem, one of those unfortunate phases of political life in America, which regards sincerity and

frankness as secondary to the Machiavelian philosophy that in politics the end justifies the means. Every president has an outer armor which protects him from accusations and at the

same time safeguards him against mistakes. The tragedy of the president's fit of temper is that this time nobody dared to say him nay, nobody let him in on the fact that the country had been accepting the cabinet meet

ings as of his sanction. (Tomorrow's article will deal with the personality of the president and outbursts of temper that he has upon occasion chided himself for exhibiting.)

jjiad been Intending to resign, but he jiever dreamed the basis of his retirement would be the calling of cabinet (meetings which had been planned as

. service and not a dis-service.

But Mr. Lansing did not play the ipart of a little man. He took the rebuke politely and made his exit. He rould have involved other men In the Wilson administration who had nrc-pd

him to keep the cabinet meetings going. He could have involved nearly

pvery body in the president's official family. But, since ho was made the goat, he accepted his fate without a whimper, trusting that the public might some day understand. Did the president really remain unaware until last week of the fact that cabinet meetings were being held in the executive office a few yards from his own sick room? Circumstantial evidence would seem to point to the absurdity of such a conclusion. The newspapers printed reference to it again and again. I remember clearly that Attorney-General Palmer went to the white house before a certain momentous cabinet meeting on the coal strike and, after a brief discussion with the president, told the correspondents later that the government was behind him, and that Mr. Wilson approved of what had been done. The correspondent recalls that Mr. Palmer said something to them of having informed the president of the cabinet situation. But he may not have gone into details concerning the meetings. The president may have gotten the impression that the attorney-general was consulting his colleagues In an informal way. Were Not Cabinet Meetings. It is within the range of possibility that, while Mr. Wilson did know about these conferences, did read about them

in the newspapers and did regard

them as inter-departmental "consultations," he may have fallen back on fine distinctions in the use of words and failed to regard them as cabinet 'meetings." Nor did he concern himself about them probably until someone told him they were not informal get-together-functions but formal sessions and that at one of these sessions the question was'seriously raised as to whether or not the cabinet should ask the vice president to come and take the place of the president.

Regular Habits Produce a Beautfiul Complexion Daily elimination rids the system of poisons. Women should realize that 1

MANY women complain daily of their complexion, of their headaches and general ill health, little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more subject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it. The result is seen in lusterless, . weary eyes, in sallow, pimply complexion, in lassitude, bad breath, and in that word so often used, "indisposed." At the first sign of these symptoms the wise woman will take a laxative, and will see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thousands of women because it is mild and gentle in its action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine. This combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, which can be bought at any drug store, is also a very sterling first-aid in colds, fevers and other sudden ills

that make it advisable to always have a bottle in the home. It is free from narcotics and safe for the tiniest baby. In spite of the fact that Dr. Caliwell's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefits have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell 511 Washington St., Montkello, Illinois.
