In 5 Million Homes Tonight A host of babies will enjoy sound sleep tonight. And their parents will have unbroken rest. Oastoria is the cause of this contentment in a multitude of homes. Good old Castoria! Children cry for it. Mothers swear by it. Not a house hold where there is an infant should ever be without it. A few drops of Ca«- toria quiet Baby in a perfectly innocent manner. It is natural slumber that fol lows. Cafitoria is a purely vegetable product. No opiates. No narcotics. Of any kind. Now you know why trained nurses give Castoria as often as an infant is ailing, or even restless. And why doctors tell mothers it is the first and only home remedy when Baby has constipa tion, colic, diarrhea, or other upset. It is made for babies, and safe to give babies, and other things are not. Fletcher’s Caatoria is “old-fashioned” if you count its fifty years, but it’s an old-fashioned mother, nowadays, who worries along without it. Twenty-five million bottles bought last year! Think of the number of mothers who rely on Castoria! All these mothers can’t be wrong! To keep a bottle in the house is a precaution you owe your little one. Disease Germs Cannot Live in Mother’s Milk Scientists have known for some time that babies fed on mother’s milk were protected in some mysterious fashion from various diseases snch as whoop ing cough, measles, diphtheria and the like. Now ll appears that tlit moth er’s milk actually has the power of killing disease germs. Dr. Friedrich Schlaeppl, bacteriologist at Berne. Switzerland, has experimented with milk from nursing mothers and found that the milk has this bacterlcidai power to a very high degree. If the milk is kept at a mean temperature this power nuiy be demonstrated for sixty hours or more. Such ^baoterin as get Into it are nt least very much retarded In their development if not actually kille»l. The milk Is even able to destri\v bacteria v\iuch do not nor mally occur in It. Boiled 'milk has not this power. Doctor Schlaeppl has succeeded in filtering milk, obtaining a clear gi-eenish liquid which con tained albumin but no fat. The germs naturally contained in the milk stayed back ^ith the fat. but the power to kill bacteria remained In the clear fil trate. This was proved by adding germs to the filtrate, which destroyed them. Children for Juvenile Love at Last Has Legal Definition A Los Angeles couple eloped to Stanta-Ana with the intention of get ting married, but failed of the de sired object owing to the fact that both were minors. Later, the young man was sued by the irate father of the girl. When the case came up, the attor ney for the defense asked that the action be dismissed on the ground that no harm had been done, that if any offense had been committed both parties were equally at fault and that when all was said and done, it ! was just a case of pupp^^ love. ) “Whr.t do you call puppy love?” I asked the court. 1 “Well,” replied the attorney, “it’s | the kind that’s too young to have to get a license for.”—Los Angeles Times. Little Journeys in Americana By LESTER B. COLBY DR. CALDWELL'S THREE RULES Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, con stipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always' was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for consti pation is a mild vegetable compound. It can not barm the most delicate system and is not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of drms- tic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head aches. and to break up fevers and colds. Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and obeerve these three rules of he^th: Keep the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels open. For a free trial bottle, just write "Syrup Pepsin,” Dept. BB, Monticello, Illinois. Head Alone Lives “In October or November every year,” writes Prof. J. Arthur Thomson in “John o’ London’s Weekly,” “when the moon enters on its third quarter, for half an hour before sunrise, the long palolo worms back out of the crevices among the coral reefs and jerk oflf their whole body, except the head end, which keeps its hold in the coral cranny. Then the sea teems with wriggling greenish worms; it is like vermicelli soup for several Inches deep. The worm-bodies wriggle and hurst, liberating millions of egg cells and sperm cells. All the bodies die; but the heads live on and grow new bodies for next year, thus avoiding the nemesis of total death. Subtlety at a low level!” MahesUfe Sweeter children’s stomachs sour, and need an anli-acid. Keep their systems sweet with Phillips Milk of Magnesia! men tongue or breath tells of acid wndition,—correct it with a spoonful of Phillips. Most men and women have been comforted by this universal sweet ener—more mothers should inv(^e its aid for their children. It is a pleasant thing to take, yet neutralizes more acid than the harsher things too often em ployed for the purpose. No household should be without it. Phillips is the genuine, prescriptional product physicians endorse for general nse; the name is important. “Milk of Jtfagnesia” has been the U. S. registered trade mark of the Charles H. Phillips CSiemical C!o. and its predecessor Charles H. Phillips since 1875. Philups Milk of Magnesia Subscribe for the Marion Progress the home town paper. National Capital Histories of Washington mention that when Virginia and Maryland ceded their state sovereignty over land for a national capital, the own ership of the land remained vested in the individual owners, the government having to buy what was needed for federal purposes. There were 19 orig inal proprietors, Including four prin cipal landowners, Daniel Carroll, Da vid Burnes, Samuel Davison and Notley Young. Carroirs property in cluded the present Capitol hill. Burnes owned a large part of the land covered by the present city, in eluding the sites of the White House and treasury building. Fifty-Fifty The well-known Irish comedian, Talbot Farrell, tells the story of a typical “bull” perpetrated by one of his countrymen. A small touring company was play ing to rather meager audiences in a remote Irish town, and the manager, wishing to find out how the attend ance at his show compared with the attendances at others, asked one of the local inhabitants how the theater was usually patronized. “Oh, not so bad, not so bad,” was the reply. “Sometimes it’s half full, and sometimes it’s half empty.”— Pearson’s Weekly. Salt in History Savage races have lived withoxrt salt, but history shows that wherevei it has been obtainable, even at the cost of much time and money, men have struggled to obtain It This fe' probably more because of the zest It gives to foods, than because of Its own value as a food. The elements found in salt are usually present in sufiaciently large quantities In the diet. However, the addition of more or less large quantities of salt seems to do no harm to the average person; excessive consumption may affect the assimilation of the food. Shrubs Guarded by Law To protect desert holly, Joshua tree? and other growths of the deserts, Cal Ifornia and Nevada recently have passed laws making It a misdemeanor to dig up, destroy or pick the flowers of some varieties of plants that grow in the dry places. Between Tonopah and Las Vegas, in southern Nevada, a wide expanse of desert country, sev eral hundred miles long, is called the West’s largest and most beautlfnl nat ural flower garden.—Popular Meehan ics Mawwine. The Icarians Good people oftentimes send ito me, in my forty-seven story tower in Chicago where I write these things of mine, strange books and pamphlets and printed bits. They are Americana. And so I find many trails to follow If I would travel them all. Very interesting trails, filled with human interest and heartaches as well as joys. Have you ever seen the little book entitled, “Voyage en Icarie?” It was written by Etienne Cabet. History Is filled with strange people. Few stranger than Etienne. In his day France gave him many honors. He was a member of the chamber of dep uties. He was attorney general of Corsica. His mind radiated brilliance. France stood ready to bestow upon him almost any honor. Then he got his crazy notions and queer ideas. But crazy as they were, his follow ing grew and many were ready to call him “The Christ.^* Yes, that was their faith In him and that, thou sands did call him. He organized a peculiar sect. History Is filled with such, formed In the name of religion. Cabet called those who joined him Icarians. Icarius was. a character In Greek mythology who fastened wings to his shoulders with wax and flew Into the sky. Finally he flew so high that the sun melted the wax, his wings came off—and he fell. The name seems a bit prophetic. Brigham Young had abandoned Nauvoo, Hlinois, in the late 1840’s, junting his city that once held 25,- 000 people and leading those bold enough to follow him westward to Utah. Cabet moved into the deserted NauA’oo in 1S50. Cabet’s grip, like that of Joseph Smith, first Mormon chieftain, and later that of Brigham Young, was given strength by per sonal magnetism and a certain fanat icism. In his “Voyage en Icarie” Etienne Cabet lays down his ideal commun ity. Somewhere sometime, if you find this book, read It. It tells of a place where all are happy, no rich, no poor; each striving to do good; no sin, no money, no speculation, no gamblers, no murderers, no thieves. At one time he had as many as 500 followers in Nauvoo. They took over the abandoned homes the Mormons left and built a few more. Those they made were of grout, a mixture of sand and plaster. The waters of the years have dissolved them quite. They have vanished, leaving no trace. It was much so with all they did. Men, seeking the answer to Icarie, quit working. When they did they hungered and finally they starved- Hate and dissension grew up among them. Quarrels and fights followed. One day they kicked Etienne Cabet. their leader, out. Less than seven years after he led his Icarians to Nauvoo, to build his Utopia, he died of exposure and star vation, penniless, a miserable outcast in a cheap St. Louis rooming house He was found dead one day In an unheated room, his body frozen stiff. I wonder what went on in Etienne Cabet’s once brilliant mind, this man who was once the Idol of France, when they kicked him out of his Icarie at the end of a common brawl, a fight over food. I wonder what he thought when the paradise of his dreams became a liell, when those he led to Nauvoo booted him and beat him, hurling fierce French oaths at him, denying him even bread because, they said, he wouldn’t do his share of the work. Nauvoo today Is lighted from the $26,000,000 Keokuk dam. It holds back the waters of the Mississippi, standing like a rampart, only a few miles below. My America, my won derful America, how you do change and growl (©. W29, Lester B. Colby.) Actress “Made Good” by Presence of Mind The former actress, Ida Claire, had a remarkable wit and cleverness. Once she was playing in a small town In one of those breath-taking melodramas of former times. The climax came at the end when she fell dead, poisoned, while the curtain slowly ascended. One evening after she had dropped dead and was waiting to be shut from view the curtain got hung. It would not come down. People In the audience seeing the curtain remain up decided the play was not over, so they sat and waited. Ida on the stage kept up her simu lation of the rigidity of death, but It was very trying on her nerves and musclet. and she was hoping every second the curtain would start down. Finally she despaired of the stage hands fixing the thing, so with a bound she rose to her feet and cried angrily at the invisible enemy; “The villains! They will not let me rest even in death]” And with a properly offended atti tude she flounced off the stage.—Path finder Magazine. D rFAe. Greatest success in all Buick history More people have purchased New Buicks during the past two weeks than in any similar period of any previous year The New Buick with Body by Fisher has met with a veritable landslide of public demand, many purchased before ever seeing the car — many thousands of others placed their orders the first few days it was on display — other thousands have been taking demonstra tions and then making Buick their choice. More Buick owners have entered orders — more men and women who owned other cars have turned to Buick—more people who for merly paid from $1000 to $2000 higher folr their automobiles have purchased Buicks—than ever before during a similar period in Buick^s twenty-six year history. _ The total demand during these two weeks is from three to jive times as great as that jor any other automobile priced above $1200. Popularity so overwhelming carries an un mistakable message to every prospective motor car buyer: See the new Buick—drive it — compare it — and you’ll quickly discover that it’s the greatest dollar-for-dolW value in the entire quality field.
