PROLONG YOUR OWN LIFE
One of the most significant
trends in advancing, or prolong-
ing, human life is the stress that
is being laid on periodical health
examinations. There are many
diseases that kill only because of
ignorance that they exist. Peo-
ple think they are well and for
that reason ignore the sound ad-
vice of leading physicians that j
they allow themselves to be ex-
amined regularly by thoroughly
trained and scientific men.
There are many diseases that
begin insidiously, without throw-
ing pain into the body to warn
the victim. They can be detect-
ed by a. competent examination
and arrested at inception, but if
allowed ^o develop unmoles;ted;
invariably kill.
Readers of The Mirror have
seen this idea before in our col-
umns. They will see it again. lit
the meantime, there is no sense
in reading our warning unless
you act upon it. That means, be
examined at once. If you think
you are well and sound, see that
you are.
-If you have something to sell;
you have something to advertise!
Doctors Know!
. and they use
liquid laxatives
You’d use a liquid, too, if you knew
how much better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help—and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form of
help that can’t be regulated! The
liquid laxative generally used is Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains
senna and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.
It relieves a condition of biliousness
or sluggishness without upset.
To relieve your occasional upsets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. The druggist has it.
SYRUP PEPSIN
NOW AND THEN
When we read of what has been j
done for the public schools and
how much more is still needed to
be done, we can’t help but won-
der how on earth our fathers
and grandfathers got any edu-
cation at all. Yet there were
some right accomplished gentle-
men and ladies in those one-room
school days. Say what one will
about the one-room school, but it
must ave had its good points. It
isn’t altogether unlikely that in
a school were the 7 and 12 year
olds Avere in the same room with
the1 16 and 20 year olds, the little
ones learned a good deal from
the big ones. All the classes be-
ing called for recitation in the
same room must have given the
younger an opportunity to absorb
from the older, and from the
teacher teaching the advanced
classes. Recently, via radio,
there came a dialogue out of
f ' ashington in which the head
of some mighty organization of
national scope explained to John
Citizen something of what the
mighty organization was doing
for the forwarding of public ed-
ucation. One of the developments
it had to offer Avas what the head
man called “muistics,” by which
he meant a combination of music
and statistics. The statistics Avere
told off by piano notes, an octave
representing eight . of the big
things, etc. A complete SAveep of
the keyboard represented the
great number of one room, one-
teacher schools. An impartial
listener had to confess to himself
that if that was a fair sample of
what the national education or-
ganizations are doing they are
not doing much.—State Press in
Dallas News.
ON THE SKIDS
Each generation of men from
time immemorial has produced its
pessimists and synics, Avho have
vieAved Avith alarm the deplorable
tendencies of their contempor-
aries.
According to these gloomy in-
dividuals the downward trend of
human morals has always been in
evidence, with the skids to per-
dition Avell greased.
As a matter of fact, there has
been little change of human na-
ture since the daAvn of civilization
At any time in the world’s his-
tory there has been ample ground
for pessimism on the part of
those who prefer to look upon the
dark side. A writer in the Bos-
ton Chronicle in the year 1800
pictured conditions closely re-
sembling those- of the present day,
from the vieAv-point of the alarm-
ist. In an article entitled ‘Prices
Current,” he wrote:
‘ ‘ Morals—Palling rapidly.
“Modisty (female)—Quite out
of fashion.
“National Honor—None on the
market.
“Public Taxes—In great abun-
dance.
“Religion—No price offered.
“Public Virture—A contraband
article; if discovered Avould ruin
its possessor.”
But there is nothing original
in the lugubrious reflection of
this Avriter of 135 years ago. The
same thing, in substance, Avere
said centuries before, are being
said today and Avill probably be
said for centuries to come—Hen-
derson Times.

“I have taken Cardui several
times for Aveak, run-down condi-
tion and it has helped me,” writes
Mrs. Walter M. Coulon, of Forsyth,
Ga. “I was nervous and suffering
from a weak condition. There
were days when I had to lie down
during the day. I sent for six bot-
tles of Cardui, as it had helped me
before. Cardui gave me strength,
stopped the nervousness and helped
me in every way.” ... Cardui may
be just what you need. It can’t do
you any harm, so why not try it?

OLD-FASHIONED HOME
After 37 years on the bench
listening to tales of domestic-
troubles, Judge John J. Brady of
Albany on his retirement offers
a plea for the old-fashioned home
headed by the proper sort of par-
ent, In the last analysis it comes
down to the parents, he says, de-
spite all the talk of “modernity”
with too much speed in arriving
at vital decisions lurking in the
background.
The judge does not think the
fault lies wholly with the children
There are too many hasty mar-
riages and lack of proper mat-
ing. There is too much “tempera-
ment—an easy excuse for many
things. The so-called problem
child is the result. Originally the
child was not a problem if the
parents v^ere not themselves a
problem to begin with. The aver-
age child is of the most plastic
material, capable of being train-
ed from the very start to grow
into a fine adult, regardless of
sex. He most certainly is not
born a problem, no matter what
“modernity” may say.
“Wild parties” are not held
in homes ruled in the “old” fash-
ion, and “flaming youth” is not
nurtured in them. An out-worn
attitude? Maybe—like the spirit
that animates the Ten Command-
ments.—Waco Times Herald.
