A meeting of the Woman’s auxil

held in the church parlors on Mon
day afternoon. The business ses
sion was opened with a devotional
led by Mrs. Sherwood Bishop. After
disposing of routine business, the
I Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right
I Th« basis of treating sickness has
Sot changed since I)r. •Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
he placyd on the market, the laxa
tive Aww ription he had used in his
prmctmf, known to druggists and
the public since 1892, as Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Pepsin.
Then,* the treatment of constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stom
ach and other indispositions that re
sult from constipation was entirely
by means of simple vegetable la\a
| tiVes, herbs and roots. These are
| still the Iwuds of Dr. Caldwell s Syr
up Pepsin, which is a combination
of senna and other mild laxative
• herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for consti
pation. the safer for the child and for
s vou. and the better for the general
' health of all. And as you can g-»t
results in a mild and safe way by
i using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin,
| Jwhv take chances with strong druis!
A bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
i Pepsin will last a family several
months, and all can use it. It is
good for the baby because pleasant
to the taste, gentle in action, and
free from narcotics. In the proper
dose, given in the directions it is
equally effective at all ages. Elderly
people will find it especially ideal.

BOSTON, June 5.—CffV-'The ne
cessity of snobbishness, a doctrine
enunciated by Professor Robert
Emmons Rogers of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology In an ad
dress before the members of the
graduating class, was under debate
' here today.
• Be a snob,” Prof. Rogers told the
seniors. “You will find it Is Just as
easy to marry the boss’ daughter as
I the stenographer . . . Dress, speak
and act like a gentleman, and you
will be surprised at the murder you
can get away with.
“Never buy a suit of colthes un

them. Keep them shined, shave
yourself and never wear the same

BILLY BOY RECEIVFS
A LECTURE ON TRUTH
—
How Would You Answer This Four-Year-Old's Querj
“What is the Truth?" Asks Winifred Black,
,. ~ in Telling the Story of Billy's Lapse
By WINIFRED BLACK
What is the truth?
I ask you.
Billy would like to know.
Who is Billy? — Why. Billy is the fattest, squarest-shouldered, up
standingest little fellow you ever saw.
His great, round blue eyes he must have got from
his French mother—but his engaging grin, pugna
cious nose and red hair undoubtedly came from hli
Irish father.
Lately Billy decided to adopt a new philosophy
—and somehow it worked fine for a time.
He was playing out in the back yard with Littlt
Brother and the rabbit that came at Easter time, and .
when something didn’t go just as Billy thought it
should, in a sudden burst of impatience, he threw
a rock.
Of course Billy hadn't really meant to break ths
window—but it broke Just the same.
So for once Billy decided to disclaim any
knowledge of the broken window—And what do you
think happened’ Nothing—for Billy’s story was be
lieved.
Naturally the conclusion that came to Billy was
a perfectly logical one—from the standpoint of a four-year-old.
And the next occasion that arose, Billy grinned and stepped right
into the middle of Trouble—with a capital T.
This time he hadn't noticed that there was an eyewitness to the
•‘accident.’* *
So mother thought it was quite
time for Billy to hear a long and
enlightening lecture on truth—and i
the virtue and reward of alw:|ys
telling it.
Billy listened quite soberly for
a long time—somehow the program
wasn’t going as he had planned, but
he'd better see what could be done
about it.
So mother talked on and on and
wound up with:
“Now. don't you see how much
better it is. Billy Boy. always to
tell the truth?’*
And Billy—well, he Just looked
at Mother with wide, blue eyes!
dancing mischief and a mouth that
just would grin in spite of him.
and said:
’tBut what is the truth?”
How did Mother answer Billy—
who is only four?
I don’t know.
How would I have answered him?
I don't know.
How would you have explained to
Billy Just what the truth is?
I ask you.

Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a girl 24 years old. and
have no parents. For the past 18
years I have made my home with
certain folks whom it seems to me
are very unreasonable and unjust
to me. I do all the house work
and help on the farm besides. Two
■ or more times I have become ill
from overwork.
For the past three years or more
I have been going with a young
man well thought of who is four
;! years my senior. The folks will
not let me entertain him. except in
the common living room and with
the rest of the family unt*l bed
time (9 o’clock). We used to go
out quite a bit but now they raise
a row every time I go to church
or show with him.
He says he loves me and I know
by his actions he does. About a
vear and a half ago he asked me
to marry him. I love him but have
not yet given him his answer al
though he used to insist on an an
swer every time we were together.
■ ■ .- - . .. .— —
Now he says he’s Just waiting for
me but saying nothing.
Should I marry him or continue
to stay where I am? Please ad
vise. BLUE EYES.
Blue Eyes: If you are unhappy
In your present home, why not
marry the young man? He has
proposed to you and thereby shown
you that he loves you. Bo if you
think you could be happy with him
and are sure of your love, my ad
vice would be to marry him.
• • •
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a girl in my teens, con
sidered good-looking and dress very
neatly.
When you have been keeping
company with a boy for some time
and he breaks a date and goes with
another girl, what should you do?
I think a good bit of the boy but
could forget It best.
Thanking you for your advice.
SMILES.
Smiles: My dear, you are not en
gaged to the young man and he is,
therefore at liberty to have as many
“dates” as he desires. Of course,
it was not very gentlemanly to
break an engagement with you. but
such things will happen and it
would be best to simply Ignore the
whole thing. Be friendly, but don't
get too serious.
