TTTF TtnCK TJAXTTi ATJGUS. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 15, 1911. 12 -v L Jvi"v u it? New York women were advised by Deputy Police Commissioner Dough erty that they mlrht frustrate pick pocket on their ChrUtmaa shopping tours by carrying their money In their stockings. The proposition was fubmltted to other authority on the sabject-not stockings, you know, but pickpockets. Her are their opinion: Police Inspector Hunt, Chicago: "The New York Idea 1 right A pickpocket must work fast and It would take lota of time and lots of dangerous jcuesswork 10 leara blch h stocking to rob. There should be stocking booths in the stores, Just a there are in the banks." Chief of Police McWeeney, Chicago: "The stocking Is too unhandy. I think the women can hold on to their money (until the shopkeeper gets It. That doesn't take long." Superintendent of Police John Tay lor (reform), Philadelphia: "How rubrar! I never would ap prove such advice, Besides, If It was followed here, the Chestnut stores would be filled with 'Johnnies' all the time." Deputy Superintendent of Police 1 Watts, Boston: "When women pet excited over a ; bargain they are Just as likely to lay : their hand bags down and go away and leave them a anything else. Let them take this advice and carry their money in the safest place. Respecta ble? Of course, its respectable a going to ft police court as complainant against pickpocket, if we are lucky enough to catch him. And Its much cheaper." Chief of Police McQualde. Pitts burgh: T must say 1n dead earnest that thousands of housewives carry bank notes of big denominations safely in their to'klngj. A woman who car : rte her fur: e In a hand bag, who Is buffeted around Rhop counters, takes a bis chanc. I should think women ' who do much shopping or marketing would have a special pocket inside heir coats for convenience ana safety." Chief of Police Kohler, Cleveland: "Women's carelessness makes crim inals. The shoppers thnset-es ere to blame for the increase In crime during the holidays. The woman who carries her pockct'oook loosely In her hand invites (heft by tic very ease with which it can be arcomplished. She should carry her money in her stocking, where It Is not a constant temptation to others." Chief of Police Young, St. Louis: "In a woman's dress of the present style, there can be a safety pocket. She should carry her money, not in her stocking, but in a hand hag strong enough to resist the pra'-p of any one who might try to snatch It from her, and she should always hold on to the handle."

The cheerful pic tures of Teal life, the sweetness of pure affection and the love of the domestic hearth, all brightened by the sense of the comic rather than the tragic. It would be fitting for the opera house manager to put these words above the door, 'Abandon care all ye who enter here.' when this bright. Joyful comedy comes to town.

When Louis Mann presents his new. est play, "Elevating a Husband," at the Grand tomorrow night, the public will Bee one of the most interesting characterizations of this eminent play er's career. The public has become so accustomed to seeing Mr. Mann in elderly roles, In which he is an un doubted master, that it will be some thing of a novelty to see him in a part that requires no pronounced change in his personal appearance. Charles Sample, the character which Mr. Mann makes known In "Elevating a Husband," is a young New Yorker, who has built up a successful business but has neglected to cultivate the gentle arts of polite society. He can hold his own, and then some, in a, trade involving the sale of dime liter ature and stenciled paintings, but Shakespeare and Corot are sealed mysteries to him. He has a habit of saying "Me" for "I." and even his table etiquette leaves something to be desired. The efforts of Sample's wife to "elevate" him for the Bociety IHV ' SMV ' ,.

Lundell, The family with young children that is without sickness in the house now and then is rare, and so it is im portant that the head of the house should know what to do in the little emergencies that arise. A child with a serious ailment needs a doctor, it is true, but in the majority of instances, as any doctor knows, the child suffers from some intestinal trouble, usually Constipation.. There is no sense in giving it a pill or a remedy containing an opiate, nor is flushing of the bowels to be always recommended. Rather give it a small dose of a mild, gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, by cleaning out the bowels and strengthening the little stomach mus cles, will immediately correct the trou ble. This is not alone our opinion but. that of Mrs. N. H. Mead of Freeport, Kan., whose granddaughter has been taking it successfully and of Mrs. J. R. Whiting of Lena, Wis., who gives it to her children and takes it herself. It is sold in fifty cent and one dollar bottles at every drug store, but if vou want to test it in your family before you buy it send your address to Dr. Caldwell and he will forward a trial bottle free of charge. Address him Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 541 Caldwell building, Monticello. 111. IU3 TP Kuschmann's Don't take chances. Don't trust to luck. Buy only the best and your Xmas baking will be a success.
