There never vras a cynio, a pessimist or a premeditated revolutionist who bad unimpaired digestion ,axd a healthy stomach.- " j .-. .- i: . . '..-:!. ' One dyspoptio In the house will bout the Whole family. '. . : ' : .

" it begins before that even. The baby in Ihe cradle has to take its dose of ignorant mothering. It cries; possibly a pin, a band too tight, a roll in its clothing that presses Its tender flesh Is irritating it More than likely "a little indigestion" from Its last overgorge, of the bad breast milk has giv en It the oollo. The worried mother, think ing 'that "feeding"-Is the best medicine for a crying baby, and knowing that with Its mouth full it can't, cry, immediately proceeds to nurse it. The baby fills itself up to the chin, kiok- ing and squirming, and often trying to get away from the breast, but is pressed back. In utter exhaustion it fans asleep, to awaken In about ten minutes with a shriek that would make a Cheyenne blush. For two. straight hours that poor little viotim of a mother's Ignorance or indo lence will-writhe In the agony of oollo, its tender stomach tormented with deluges of paregoric, peppermint, catnip tea and a lot of other messes, which fill it up till the tiny sufferer calls nature to aid and throws all the horrible stuff up, and then It falls asleep, perspiring, white and limp. For hours Its little frame will be Bore and aching, and it will moan if stirred.' Yet in less than 24 hours it will have to go through the same experience.' Is it much wonder that the weanling Is fretful and dubbed a cross baby? Just fill an adult up on sweets and ices, bread and meat and pastry. Let his stom ach get to grumbling; then take him to a big dinner and fill him up again..' You can't safely remain' in' the same house .with him till he gets over his ill temper, headache and indigestion. : With the constant irritation of souroa, undigested food, the child's stomach gets Into the same diseased condition, and un less it has ! a constitution of iron it devel ops Into a whining, peevish, nervous youth and a dyspeptio adult. . -. . A perfectly healthy child ought to eat at regular Intervals, say four times a day; have only plain food and sufficient to sat-' isfy hunger, but' never be permitted to gorge itself on any dish of which it is particularly fond. The habit of "piecing" is almost criminal. Indeed, that a diseased stomach will turn a man into a criminal is a seientiflo fact. If a child Is not strong, ,it8 digestion will be naturally weak, and it snouiu nave its iooa careiuuy preparea and' eat a little oftener, because it does not eat so much at a time, and the human body has to have fuel to keep it running properly, j.''" : If you say "diet" to a man who caps in a doctor, he Qies into a passion ana ae- clares that he will eat what he wants and when he wants it, and that it does him no harm. Probably if he had heeded the warnings of nature and been moderately ' careful of his diet the, doctor would never have been called. : Your own good sense will tell you that if you throw water on the brightest firo .lt will smother it, and long enough continued will leave a black ened mass of ruins. Hence if you eat things that you know have always, dis agreed with you you can't help knowing also that you will put out the fires of healthy combustion in your body and that if you keep up the Indiscretion you will at last wreck your health completely i Women1 aro the most careless, inuis- criminating eaters In tho world. I heard a woman say at a restaurant tame recent ly, where! she was lunching with friends, that pie did not agree, with her and that milk always soured on her stomach, but that they, were "so filling," and when she was in a hurry with her shopping she al ways took ' pie and milk to get through quickly, and then finished oft with some chocolates to "munch" on. i . , . I looked at her nlato. and she had two. kinds of pie and a glass of hall cream and half milk, when she sot up to leave I saw that she was a&icted, as indiscriminating eaters generally are, with a large abdomen. Her habfts of eating, as displayed in her luncheon, very largely accounted for-it. She ate things that "filled her up," to put it coarsely and caused flatulence, dis tending the stomacn with gases. U rins ing great quantities of liquid, such as tea and coffee, or a great deal of milk or wa ter, will distend the stomach in the same manner i and cause the uncomfortable full'.' feeling of which so many women complain., I ,-' - ;l Boltina one's rood-is another way oi superinducing fatty folds about the abdo men.

Althpugh It is many yean since' Lang Tarn's oourtshlp, it is still spoken of In the Shaws. I myself have heard the Btory told at more than one ingle within the month, and the last recital interested me as much as the first. In the main I think Lang Tam was a philosopher. - What has made his one amour a part of the .unwritten history of the Tillage was not that courtships were scarce, that young ; men were few or young, women distant. Time and manner were what did it, but as to the former the Shaws were nptorious. It was always slow in arriving, at fts own mind, but having once reached it there was no turning back. - This was car dinal, and the reputation of the Shaws rested upon it. The subject made little difference, and if much depended upon the issue the more deliberate it was. It looked at it from all sides, and then tried to reck on with the future. The Shaws browsed . over every thought it got and then ohewed ' the cud at leisure. , ,'. But it even carried this into its love af fairs. The youhg men were exasperating, and had the' young women known any thing better .very, few marriages would have taken place tt the Shaws. The latter were accounted douce, a trait that was al together in their favor, but it was caused by nothing more nor less than their train ing in patlenoe, both by grecept and ex amplethe first in their childhood and the second when they were old enough ts observe for themselves. , I , A young man of the Shaws unconscious- -ly followed the leading of his heart, but. only so far. He took love and fact, weighed the one against the other and became re flective, j A struggle usually ensued, and love sometimes won, sometimes other con siderations, in which latter case he would retire from the field with the admonition to the young woman that love was terribly deceiving and dangerous to meddle with. The two would part in silence, and the Shaws would exonerate the young man. No one never knew how Lang Tam be gan his courtship of Peggie Wilkie, but the first real symptoms of his love, as far as the Shaws has any record, was the Sabbath morning he gave Peggie a peppermint when they met at the kirk gate-i Peter Pirn stood by and saw them. Lang Tam, he afterward i said, was like one transfig ured. He Beemed to grow in height and strode as no one had ever seen him do be fore, even to leaving Peggie a step or two behind in that moment of his "tense emo tion. He stumblod when he reached the kirk steps, which was interpreted as a cer tain sign that his happiness blinded him. Peter said they would make a match of it soino time, and the Shaws settled down to see what would come of it. ' It was soon 1 made manifest that Lang Tam and Peggie were thick in love. At kirk and;-market they were seen together, on the brae in the evenings and down by the Mains Loan. Klrstie Powrie, who re garded life only from . its . prosy side, de clared that "they carried on like perfect fules." . .-f - y : ! ' The Shaws withheld its judgment, though they recognized the seriousness of. the situation. True love had its mien, the heart was never to be permitted to get the better of the mind, but Lang Tam and Peggie were beyond all reason. It "was as if they were the only two in the Shaws and made no disguise of It. Their love ripened too early.. The Shaws shook its head, but waited. What it feared was what happened. Lang Tam and Peggie were engaged before the end of two months. The Shaws frowned and said it was a scandal. Mary Wilkie mildly re monstrated with her daughter. Jeames Ford took his son to task for his perversity and prayed that a right mind might be vouchsafed him. . f. j Peter Pirn declared years afterward that , Jeames' prayer was the most effectual he ever 1 delivered, and. on the whole, he thought that he might have asked for less. It was nearly four years since the engage ment, and Lang Tam and Peggie were still unmarried. Had the probationary court" ship lasted that time nothing would have been thought of it. The Shaws was seized with another fear and felt that its reputa tion was in Jeopardy. Lang Tam had long before returned to his normal mind, the only difference noted being an absent man ner whether with Peggie or alone. I Accord-' ing to a report brought to the village by young wmio Purdie, who had iwatohed them one evening under covert for two hours on the edge of the Caithly woods, about the only thing Lang Tam said in answer was:: ! ; "Aye, umpha, just so aye." And Peg gie s answer was: "It Is terrible hog the time gaes by. One or two believed that Lang Tam was carefully considering the matter, while others feared that his long reflections were induced by a desire to withdraw, and that he was simply planning the safest means to do it. Jeames was consulted as to the behavior of his son at table, and when he told Peter that he was "just a klnda aft his meat" Peter, who was an oracle on the subject, pronounced it "naethlng ava. Seven months later, wnen , Jeames was again asked for the signs, he announced hopefully: i . . "WeeL the laddie's beginning: to like, like, wi only half o' her parrioh gane. " Ye tell me sae?" Peter said, with the light of Import in his eye. "Then, sal, things is gettln serious. Keep a gude look oot, Jeames, an let's ken again hoc he behaves." A month later Jeames was I striding down the brae toward the wynd when he almost ran into Peter and-William Duffy, "He's gettln on fine," Jeames! said, re assured. ''This vera morn In he cud julst ta a spuneiu , an it was na suner in than it was oot again. Ou, aye, he's gettln on fine."; ... -I '. . j ' Peter and William exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. There was no fear of , Lang Tam now. He would soon marry Peggie. l - Some time after, when Peggie was Mrs. Thomas Ford, Liang Tam explained in a moment of confidence to the questioning stare o Peter: V "It was sae sweet tae think that Peggie was mine that I. julst roued an I roued it like a sweet morsel under my tongue un til I cudna keep the lassie waltin ony langer, but the malr I thoct o' the time when we wad get married it was malst o' cud get thro' wr. l lived in a unaa heav en for weeks, an my heart kept loup, loup- In until I really thoct It wad BtlcK 1' my mooth.

That is why it is the only remedy with, millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good-health..
