THE GE OR. QIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE Rebuilding Your Character • THIS is the time when, revisiting a familiar neighborhood, we say, "I don’t remember that house,” and who h&« passed the place oft ener answers, “Few would recognize It. It has been so Improved." It is a season of building and of re tmilding. and the rebuilding is of the two more wonderful. We see. a one-story cottage grown to a two-story house. A small house re ■eals its owner's new prosperity by preading over twice as much lawn with its bay window extension on the east side, its summer veranda that may convert into a sun parlor next winter, but where the family may have break fast this summer, and call in the neigh bors for impromptu ice cream in the evening. The face of that house is ut terly changed. Is ft by a new veranda? No. only the building of a balcony overhead. But the former window has been deepened into a glass door that opens upon th? balcony, and there are a little reading table and a lounging chair beside it like those used on the decks of seagoing steamprs. And one catches a glimpse of skeins of bright silk in the workbasket and a magazine or two beside it. “The Robinson house looks better,” you say, and you hear in explanation that Mrs. Robinson is happy because at last she has her long-deferred new kitchen and her husband has built a neat little laundry the end of the kitchen. You would not think so small a thing would make a woman look so much more content, so much younger and more at peace with the world, but it Is thus v. hen we achieve something for which we had long been striving, and the neighbors said Mrs Robinson has done a good deal of striving, for her spouse keeps the strings of his money bags knotted tight. “The Grimes house seems a stranger to itself.” you remark, for its smoked, spotted whiteness has been replaced by light gray with trimmings of darker gray. It has a roof so mosslike in color that the painter is being con gratulated upon his art, which has so closely followed nature. A bed of bright geraniums in front of the house gives it a cheery- aspect. The Grimes house, for the first time, looks up to date. It looks as a woman does who overheard some one call her a frump and who has bought a. smart, new frock, and who looks ten years younger and twice as happy because of her triumph. "The bleak-looking house of the Bradleys! What on earth have they done to it?” you ask. The straight outlines, severe as an unsmiling face, have been somehow changed. Ah'. Mrs. Bradley has attained her heart's desire. She has what her city cousins call a conservatory, but she has lovingly named “my flower house,” and when you pass in the evening and see her giving the flowers she loves a shower bath, you wonder why you ever thought her face repellent. It looks so soft and Sweet in the red light of sunset. ; Rebuilding tiwef; The face, of the neighborhood has changed. How much better it-looks' What an inspiring thing is improvement, even though its agents be only a few boards, some flails and a paint brush! There’s a lesson in that rebuilding, a lesson for you and me. for every one feels a bit world-worn, a little tired. Somewhat inclined to fold the hands listlessly and mutter "What's the use?” That mood is only spring tiredness of the spirit, and the remedy for spring tiredness is what is in the air in your rfeighborhood. Hear the hammers driv ing in new nails? See the carpenter carefully fitting on a new siding? He is giving us a friendly hint of what to do with our characters. No house is beyond repair while it stands on its foundations. That old cabin belonging to the washerwoman who lives at the edge of town. You would have thought it quite impossible to improve that. Wouldn’t you?

These lessons last throughout life. Not the least Important of the habits that one should acquire early in life— and which rests entirely with the mother In the earlier year*—is regular bowel movement. The baby and the child should be encouraged in this, and the habit will becorpe a natural one. It will be better off through life for the habit. Two to three calls a day are not too many for the baby and the child, and the grown person should have at one. Without that the minor In dispositions of life are sure to result. Watch the baby carefully, and If it . cries, Is peevish and irritable give It a small dose of a mild laxative, and that is something every mother should always have in the house. No doubt many laxatives are recommended, but the one that seems to be in most popular favor with discriminating mothers throughout America is DR. CALD WELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN. It fills the requirements of a baby’s laxative better than any other remedy known. It is a liquid of pleasant taate, mild in action and never gripes. A very little of it is alt that a baby needs, and yet so effective Is the action of this remedy that grown-ups will find equally satisfactory results. Its use for a few days tn succession In the small dose that the directions call for will result in good bowel health for a long time to come. It Is, for that reason, an ideal family remedy, as It la suited to all •r ages, and much to be preferred to salts, and such things, which are not needed by children, women and old people. These rgqulre a mild laxative such as DR. CALDWELL'B SYRUP PEPSIN. Dr. Caldwell: Before I began to take Syrup Pepsin I wasn’t able to do any work at all, and couldn’t eat anything Now I can L -v a good day’s work and can eat a little of most anything I want ANDY FOWLER, Greenville, S.

LET YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am deeply In love with a young lady with whom I have been keeping company for nearly a year. About two months ago she went to a party which she said was "just for girls," so I did not go. Since then she has been acting in differently to me. She claims she is acting that way because I am getting tired of her. How can I prove to her that my love is Just as strong as when we first met? X. Y. Z. You love her. but she thinks you don’t.

It was decided tn appoint a committee to speak to the mothers. Other decisions were that presidents are not made of the kind of boys who get what they want out of mother by threatening to leave home. That if all the Don’ts Mother uses in a year were made into a charmstring they would make a belt for Mother Earth, and enough left for garters. That threats made by mothers and never carried into execution would make a mountain range.
