NEED NEW CODE
FOR THIS AGE
Injustice Under Old System
Pointed Out.
The age of chivalry, was responsi¬
ble for many of the con’ entlons of
modern lift.
When we consider tlmr it ended
more than 500 years ago, we may
well come to the conclusion that
some of its heritage must be out of
date.
In the last thirty years we have
finally changed, for better or for
worse, to a very different form of civ¬
ilization, and a new code of man¬
ners must accompany the change.
Especially is this true in regard to
women.
They have always been brought up
with the expectation of care and pro¬
tection, whether they actually got it
or not.
From the cradle up little hoys were
taught to be strong and resourceful
and to guard and protect all little
girls. And the girls were permitted,
if not encouraged, to take advantage
of their weakness and dependence.
Even under the old rules the sys¬
tem worked countless injustices. A
boy could not strike a girl, but a girl
could tease and annoy a boy until
she drove him to desperation, rely¬
ing on her sex for Immunity.
A boy could not cry, because it
was unmanly; a girl could shed buck¬
ets of tears to gain her end and It
was considered natural.
Today, with women demanding and
receiving equal rights with men;
many of them also expect special
privileges, and are taught from the
cradle to use every means, fair or
foul, to attain them.
It seems essential for the preser¬
vation of our tradition, if we wish
to preserve it, that a new nursery
code should be evolved, where boys
and girls are taught fair play and
mutual respect.
In this way only can we be as¬
sured that the western world will
not become a matriarchy in which
the men are reduced to a biological
necessity by a race of gold-digging
amazons.—Brooks Peters Church, in
Indianapolis News.

SYNOPSIS
On her eighteenth birthday, Bar¬
bara, motherless daughter of Chrlst
opher Thorne, artist, awakes with an
tlcipatlon of the joys of the day. She
receives a birthday ring from Bruce
MacLaln, young artist friend of the
family, but more than friend to Bar
bara. Barbara and Bruce go plckniek
lng on the sands at Provincetown. He
tells her a story of a gypsy boy, a lit¬
tle gypsy girl whom he loves, and
the song of a silver flute. She knows
It Is her own love tale. Her happiness
turns to sorrow when she returns home
to l«Rrn her father has been drowned.
Relatives arrive and take charge of
things. Having been almost a mother
to the others, Barbara cannot think of
their separation, Kit’s sensitive nature
bruised in Uncle Herbert's household
by his rough-and-ready cousins, and
Gay spoiled by her association with
silly Aunt Lola. Bruce urges immedi
ate marriage, but that would mean
separation, Desperate, the four chil
dren plot to run away to Barbara’s
godfather, "Uncle Stephen" Drake,
whom they have never seen. Stephen
Drake, bachelor, forty years old, still
has vivid recollections of the beauti
ful young matron, Barbara's mother,
whom he had loved eighteen years be¬
fore. He had made up his mind to pro
pose that night to Emily Trent, so
that his well-ordered household might
have a permanent head. But the chil
dren arrive and the proposal is in
terrupted.
CHAPTER VI—Continued
— 10 —
“Have they no relatives?” she asked
when he had concluded the sketch
with the death of Christopher Thorne.
“Too many relatives,” Stephen an¬
swered. “That seems to be the
trouble. The children don’t want to
be separated. They were, for a time,
—after the mother died. That's why
they ran away. The relatives are in
Provincetown. The children ran away
from them in a truck.”
“I never heard of such a thing!”
Aunt Edith bristled with indignation.
“They must be distracted. Have you
wired them? What sort of people are
they?”
“Highly respectable, I should say.”
Again Stephen smiled. “Barbara spoke
of an Uncie Herbert. A relative named
Uncle Herbert must be a respectable
person.”
Aunt Edith looked distressed.
“I can't see that it’s a matter for
making jokes,” she said.
“It Isn’t.” The smile vanished.
Stephen’s expression was grave and
troubled again. “I wish I could help
them. They’re nice youngsters. But
what In the world can I do?”
“You can send them back to their
relatives,” Aund Edith said firmly.
“Tomorrow.”
“Not tomorrow, Aunt Edith. They’re
completely exhausted.” Stephen re¬
membered Kit’s white face, the circles
of weariness chalked under Barbara’s
eyes. “They’ll have to rest for a day
or two.”
A word of protest rose to Aunt
Edith’s lips. She was having a lunch¬
eon tomorrow. Four children would
be hard to explain. But then, this
was Stephen’s house. The protest
dissolved slowly and became a sigh.
“You aren’t thinking of keeping
them?” she asked.
“Of course not!” Stephen’s expres¬
sion was so startled that Aunt Edith
was reassured. “What would I do
with four children on my hands?"
"I wondered.” Aunt Edith collected
her wrap and her scarf, her gloves and
her jet beaded bag. “You’ve had a
disturbing evening,” she said as she
rose from the chair. “You’d better go
to bed and think no more about them.
And in the morning,” she added, paus¬
ing at door, “you’d better call Emily
and apologize. There are some things
a woman finds it difficult to he under¬
standing about.”
Stephen raked the coals in the
grate nnd returned to the deep soft
chair. He had been rude. He hadn’t,
he remembered now, returned to the
conservatory and the love-birds and
the blossoming orange trees. He had
had dinner with the children in the old
schoolroom upstairs. But he thought
Emily would understand.
He would send her flowers In the
morning. No, he would take them him¬
self, her favorite wlil-te lilacs, and he
would tell her the things he had meant
to say this evening before the children
arrived. What had he told h^r? How
far had he gone? It embarrassed him
to realize that he couldn’t remember
distinctly.
The second part of Aunt Edith’s ad¬
vice he found himself entirely unable
to follow. They were amusing young¬
sters. Tired as they were, a little
awed by their surroundings, be had
enjoyed them tonight.
Barbara. That was her mother’s
name. The daughter was very like
the Barbara he had loved, the same
heart-shaped face, the soft brown hair,
the dimple that woke when she smiled.
Younger, of course, more slightly built,
not so vivid, perhaps. But sufficiently
like her to arouse disturbing mem¬
ories of the adventure in southern
France.
That, he thought, his eyes on the
glowing coals, was the only real ad¬
venture he had ever known. He had
been restless, for a time, when he
returned home. He had planned vaca¬
tion adventures, a voyage on a tramp
schooner, a walking trip through Nova
Scotia, a winter jaunt through Italy
and Spain. He had accomplished none
of them. He had never recaptured the
glamor of that spring in southern
France.
Even the war had failed him. He
had, through no fault of his own, spent
the time in Washington behind a quar¬
termaster’s desk. Gradually the rest-
CLEVELAND COURIER
-
lessness had disappeared. He was, on
the whole, content with his orderly
life. It was years since he had experi¬
enced the restlessness which troubled
him tonight.
The children were responsible, he
thought; Barbara with her soft brown
hair and the dimple at the left cor¬
ner of her mouth. When lie had re¬
turned them to their relatives, life
would go on the usual way.
Barbara, in a rose-colored kimono,
her hair tumbled about her face, stood,
hesitating, just inside the room.
“Why aren’t you asleep?” Stephen
asked. “It’s after midnight, young
lady.”
“I know.” She pushed back the
tumbling hair. “There are so many
clocks. I heard them striking all over
the house.”
“Haven’t you slept at all?"
"Not a single wink. I came down
to see if you were here. I want to
talk. Uncle Stephen."
“But Barbara—”
“Couldn’t you call me Babbie?” she
asked. She was standing beside him
now. She lifted her face nnd he saw
a wistful expression in her wide dark
eyes. “Father always did.” Father
and Bruce, she thought. She did not
mention Bruce.
“Babbie—” He smiled. "Is that bet¬
ter?”
Her face brightened.
“Much better,” she said. “Especial¬
ly the smile.”
“What shall we talk about?” he
asked when she had curled herself into
the chair beside the fire.
“I want to explain.” She looked at
him gravely. “I haven’t very well. I’m
not sure that I can.”
“Don’t try tonight." She looked so
young, Stephen thought, curled in the
deep soft chair, younger than she had
seemed earlier in the evening. It was
the kimono, perhaps, and the tum¬
bled soft brown hair.
“I’d rather.” Her eyes were troubled,
chalked underneath with circles of fa¬
tigue. “I couldn’t sleep, I wondered
what you were thinking.”
“I’ve been thinking,” Stephen said
gravely, "that it was wrong to run
away.”
“I suppose It was,” she said with
a soft little sigh. “But I didn’t know
what else to do. You see”—the wide
dark eyes asked him to understand—
“it was because of Kit. He cried so,
Uncle Stephen. I’d never seen Kit cry
like that.”
She told him of Uncle Herbert and
the boys who were too healthy and ac¬
tive for Kit.
“Kit isn’t very strong. The doctors
say he will never entirely outgrow the
limp. And he's so brave about It.”
Her voice was warm with love for Kit.
“Kit’s so—so splendid, Uncle Stephen."
“I’m sure he Is,” Stephen said. “I
knew at once that Kit was a splendid
chap.”
Barbara’s face lighted sweetly with
pleasure. Uncle Stephen seemed to
understand. It was easier, now, to tel!
him about the relatives. She talked
eagerly, a torrent of words.
Stephen watched the changing ex¬
pressions in the small pale face
framed in curly soft brown hair. He
found himself resenting the ma¬
ture expression which had settled
Into her eyes. She had known too
much responsibility, too much sadness,
he thought. It occurred to him that
charming Christopher Thorne might
not have been an entirely reliable
parent.
“Why did you come to me?” he asked
when she had finished and sat looking
into the fire. He wished that she
wasn’t so small and forlorn and ap¬
pealing.
“Your letter was friendly. I carried
It in my blouse,” she confessed, sud¬
denly shy.
“You did?” He was touched by her
confidence, a little provoked, as well.
They were nice youngsters, all of them.
But what in the world could he do?
She nodded. A flush that matched
the kimono crept Into her cheeks.
“You didn’t sound like a ‘crusty old
bachelor,’” she said, her lashes drop
ing again. “Besides, there was no
one else. Father had no close rela¬
tions. There was only Mother’s fam¬
ily. And they just think we’re a duty.
They don’t approve of us at all.”
“ >Vhat did you think I could do?”
Stephen had left his chair and was
pacing across the hearth.
“I thought, maybe, If you’d write to
them about it, they’d let me keep the
children in Provincetown.” Her voice
was eager. Hope had lighted the dark
stars In her eyes. “You’re a lawyer,
aren’t you, Uncle Stephen?”
“Yes,” he answered, wondering what
lay behind the question.
“They have a great respect for law¬
yers,” she said. “Of course they
thought it was crazy when I asked
them, because they think I’m no older
than Gay. But, maybe, If you thought
it was a sensible plan—”
“I don’t.” Stephen was surprised at
the vehemence in his voice. “You’re
too young to assume the responsibility
for three children. You’re no more
than a child yourself.”
“I’m not 1" The rose flush deepened.
The dark eyes flashed. “I’m eighteen.
And older than that inside. I've taken
care of the children always. At least,”
she added with a little sob in her
voice, “ever since Mother died. Fa¬
ther was a darling. But he didn’t
know about sore throats and upset
stomachs and tantrums and tempera¬
tures. I do, Uncle Stephen*. I could
take care of them. I—” She had
meant to say that she was old enough
to be engaged to Bruce. But perhaps
Uncle Stephen would think that was
crazy, too.

Why
Ljqujd Laxatives
Do You No Harm
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con¬
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
not take a “double dose” a day or
two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative will bring
a perfect movement, and with no
discomfort at the time, or afterward.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using it!
An approved liquid laxative (one
which is most widely used for both
adults and children) is syrup pepsin.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe. Its
laxative action is based on senna—
a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help, as they do in the case of
cathartics containing mineral drugs.
Ask your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin. Member N. R. A.
Doctors Gve Creosote
For Dangerous Coughs
For many years our best doctors have
prescribed creosote in some form for
coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing
how dangerous it is to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele¬
ments, quickly and effectively stops all
coughs and colds that otherwise might
lead to serious trouble.*
Creomulsion is powerful in the treat¬
ment of all colds and cough9, yet it is
absolutely harmless and is pleasant and
easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees Creo¬
mulsion by refunding your money if you
are not relieved after taking Creomul¬
sion as directed. Beware the cough or
cold that hangs on. Always keep Creo¬
mulsion on hand for instant use. (adv.)

To make Children
EAT
Don’t force children to eat! The
girl or boy who has no appetite has
stasis —which means the child is
sluggish. But cathartics have caused
more constipation than they ever
cured! The “California treatment”
is best—just pure syrup of figs. Try
this for a few days, then see how
eagerly your youngster will eat.
Stimulate the colon and that child
with a finicky appetite will devour
everything set before him. Here’s
the simple treatment that does more
for babies or older children than all
the diets, fad foods, or tonics.
Nature has provided the “medi¬
cine” you’ll need to stir your child’s
colon muscles into proper action.
California syrup of figs. Pure, de¬
licious, harmless. It acts on tha
lower colon—where the trouble is.
It has no ill effects on the intestines.
Begin tonight, with this marvel¬
ous “California treatment.” A&y
druggist has California syrup of
figs, all bottled, with directions. Usa
enough the first time to cleanse tha
clogged colon of every bit of poison
and hard waste. Then just a littla
twice a tveek until the child’s appe¬
tite, color, weight and spirits tell
you the stasis is gone. Whenever a
cold or other upset clogs the system
again, use this natural vegetable
laxative instead of .drastic drugs.
WARNING! There are .dealert
who practice substitution. Be sure to
protect your child by looking for the
name CALIFORNIA on the bottle.
