Margaret Krkenbeck. now an Inmate
of a home for dependent children.
On duly SO, the father and mother
of the tiny baby appeared In Denver's
famous Juvenile court with an anut*
teg roqusst. They swore that they
never wanted the child, hated the algid
of him, and wanted the Mate to take
care of him.
They Want Freedom.
"We didn't want him: we don't want
him now,” the father, a regularly em-
ployed laborer, declared. "We want
to tie free to go here and there.
"Imagine, Judge, how you'd feel Hr
tug alwaya In the presence of some
thing you detested.'
Judge (Seorge II. I-rrg of (Jolden, sit-
ting on the Juvenile bench In the nb-
oenea of Judge Stanley Johnson, com-
milled the child to the state home

she chose to remain near her bahy.

waa taken front me. I knew we hHd
done wrong and that 1 could not live
without him," Mra. tokenheck de-
clared. aa ahe pleaded with state offi-
cials to restore her child to her.
"We were Impulsive and selttah. My
husband Isn't cruel. We loved each
"lher We had been together all the
time since our marriage. When the
baby was coming we didn't wunt him
and when he came and Interfered with
what we wonted to do we resented his
presence—or thought we did.
Both Want Him Back.
"As a child I was brought up with
twelve brothers and sisters. My fa-

We had to change our ways. Ho we
did this awful thing,"
The father, too, has made up his
mind that he must have the baby hack.
"How Is the bahy gel ling along?"
he neks In hla letters from Oregon. “I
hope you can get him soon, so we caa
all be together again."

a mystery. The germ nr virus, or

several of our larged and moat Ini-

pushed, an anti-toxin could lie mnd»
which would arrest the disease. This
was accomplished with the dreaded
diphtheria and ninny other diseases
which formerly took a heavy toll of
life.

Paris. — Neither Leif Ericsson

director of the ltourge* observa-
tory, Is right.
“An Egyptian expedition by the
sea la very likel# to have taken
place In the days of the Pharaohs,
says Abbot Moreux. "It la most
probable that these Egyptians
reached Central America long be-
fore the Christian era. They car-
ried there the fruits of their own
civilisation and a very advanced
astronomic science."
The Bmirges astronomer recalls
that the explorers of Columbus’
day noticed the natives of AmerlcH

tions In the sky as the Europeans
with whom they hud had no rela

"I haven't time for that, I'll Imste

Window draperies may need renew-

perative. you can do much with Inex-

color and deftly ornamented with
your own needle. For example a fair

faded looking green wool, and flowers
In brown wool will be excellent.

etc., but sre well suited to many
style*, and to the usual type of home
decoration.
It Is better to hsve few ornaments,
and these right, than many which are
not correct. Avoid multiplicity of
colors. Use brasses for lightening
dark parts of rooms. They catch and
reflect light. Watch for all detail*
which combine to make good decor*
tlon.

Hope for Increase in
. World's Radium Supply
Will Canada one day be able to
supply us with alt the radium we
require for our hospitals?
There are large deposits of radium-
bearing «re In the great Dominion,
and these are now being worked.
They may transform the world ra-
dium situation.
For years now British hospitals
have been seriously handicapped la
their great light against cancer by
the high cost of radium, which has
been pActlcally a Belgian monopoly.
Most of It comes from Katanga, la
the Belgian Congo, which turns out
about three grammes a month.
Radium to playing a vital part In
fighting this scourge, and In view of
this protests were recently made In
parliament against the heavy duty
collected on such Imported radium.
In reply the treasury announced that
It should be resneved. Thto relief
lowers It* price by about a third.

Why Doctors Favor
a liquid Laxative
A doctor grill tell you that the cat*-
less choice of laxatives is a common
cause of chronic constipation.
<i*
Any hospital offers evidence of tha
harm done by harsh laxatives that
drain the system, weaken the bowed
muscles, and even affect the liver
am. kidneys.
Fortunately, the public is fast
returning to laxatives in liquid form.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
controlled. It forms no habit; you
needn't take a "double dose” a day
or two later.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin baa
the average person s bowels regular
as clockwork in a few weeks’ time.
Why not try it? Some pill or tablet
may be more convenient to carry.
But there is little ‘‘convenience" ta
any cathartic which is token so
frequently, you must carry it with
you, wherever you go!
Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald-
well s Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A
delightful toste, and delightful action.
