YOUNG GIRL

Opal Cade Is Now a Co-Ed at
Baylor College, a Texas
University
BELTON, Tex., Nov. 20.—When
Opal Cade entered Baylor College
for Women here this fall, she dis
carded overalls and put on a dress
for the first tim e in four years.
That simple statement tells the
story or one of the most amazing
sarcrifices a girl ever made —a story
of years of hard, back-breaking toil
on a barren farm, of smiling cour
age and dauntless determination, of
a burning ambition to get an educa
tion that could not be downed even
by the bitterest poverty.
It was four years ago that Opal
Cade’s father broke his hip and be
came a helpless invalid. There were
five children, including Opal, the old
est. One was a baby, so the mother
had no time to spare for breadwin
ning.
So Opal stepped into the breach.
She was only 14. But she under
took to cultivate her father’s 70-acre
farm—and she got away with it!
Her father told her what to plant
and when, but could do little more,
With one team of old,slow horses
Opal plowed the whole 70 acres and
planted it in corn and Cotton. That
fall she took her two younger broth -
ers out with her and the three chil
dren gathered the crop.
The crop was a very fair one, and
that winter Opal was able to buy an
other team and some more farming
implements. So next spring she
went to work to be a farmer in earn
est.
From then on the old farm was a
busy place. Crops continued to be
good and each fall there was a larger
cash surplus that could be laid aside.
This fall Opal was 18. She had
been wearing overalls constantly for
four years, doing a man’s work with
out complaint. But now her broth
ers were able to do their share, and
Opal wanted an education.
So she came to Belton, 15 miles
from her home, announced to the
college authorities that she did not
have money enough to return home,
and asked for work.
She got it—with a vengeance. Six
hours every day she spends as a
waitress. This by dint of strict eco
onmy, is enabling her to stay in col
lege and get the education she longs
HOW DOCTORS TREAT

to cut shi rt an attack of grippe, in
fluenza, sore throat or tonsillitis,

fied and refined calomel compound
tablet that gives you the effects of
calomel and salts combir without
the unpleasant effects of ether.
One or two Calotabs at bed-time
with a swallow of water, —that’s all
No salts, no nausea nor the slightest
interference with your eating, work
er pleasure. Next morning your
cold has vanished, your system is
thoroughly purified and you are
feel’’ fine with a hearty appetite
for b-eakfast. Eat what you pie-tse
—no danger.

She is even able to get some rec
reation into her life—she explains
that during three years previous to
her arrival at college she had seen
but once moving picture show and
had done nothing else whatever that
could possibly be called “recreation.’
Just what she’ll do after she grad
uates she doesn’t know yet. She is
specializing in mathematics, her fav
orite subject..
“I’m not going to quit until I
get my degree,” she says. “And I’m
| even going to do more than that. I’m
going to put my little sisters through
college, too.’

DR. W. B. CALDWELL
AT THE AGE OF 83
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of .Monti
cello, 111., a practicing physician for
47 years, it seemed cruel that so
many constipated infants and chil
dren had to be kept constantly
“stirred up’’ and half sick by taking
cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calo
mel and nasty oils.
While lie knew that constipation
was the cause of nearly all chil
dren’s little ills, he did not believe
that a sickening "purge’’ or "physic"
every day or two was necessary.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which regu
lates the bowels. A single dose will
establish natural, healthy bowel
movement for weeks at a time, even
if the child was chronically consti
pated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin

HEART SONGS
A FAVORITE
Contains. All The Songs that
Mother and Grandmother
Used to Sing
It is doubtful if there is one own
| er of a yictrola or other talking ma
chine or player of any description
who does not have some recollection
of the songs his mother—yes, and
(his grandmother—sang in the by
gone years. Mnay of us recall dis
tinctly both the words and music of
a few. but most of us have only a
faint memory of a line or two of
,verses 1 —maybe only a bar or so of
| a tune hummed over to us when we
were too young to have a conscious
memory.
How frequently one hears “1
would give anything to find out just
what it was my sang so
often." And there seems to be no
iway to discover it with the loved
i one gone so long into the great be
yond. There is away, however, a
: chance in fact several hundred
chance—that this vague memory may
be traced. There is away that one
lean frequently secure records of
these very songs of long ago even if
the titles have been forgotten by us.

"Heart Songs which contains more
than five hundred pages of the best
and most valued music of the days
