Why Pills Gripe.
Just because they contain harsh and
drastic drugs, with nothing to modify their
violent action. If in need of a laxative,
you will obtain satisfactory results by
taking Dr. Caldwell’s (Laxative) Syrup
Pepsin, a ‘‘corrective,” not a “cathartic*’
laxative. Its action is gentle, it assists
nature to put the stomach ana bowels in
normal condition and never sickens;
children, as well as grown people, love it,
for its pleasant taste. The soothing action
of the pepsin makes the digestive process
perfect. Try it and you will wonder whv
you never have before. All druggists seil

MANY SECRETS REVEALED BY
THE MELTING SNOW.
The Past Winter Proved to Be a Very
Severe One for the Tiny Crea
tures of Fur and
Feathers.
'The deep snow which but a few days
ago covered the ground hid many se
crets which are now being given up.
As the brown earth begins to appear in
patches, we find some of the results of
the late severe winter. Birds which per
ished from cold or hunger, and which
were not carried off by foxes, mink,
skunks or owls, are now uncovered, and
we find here a junco or a chickadee, and
there a pheasant or a quail. The spring
is here again, but not for them, and yet
no sign which we can read escapes the
survivors, to suggest that the dead are
missed. The “toot—toot” of the cock
pheasant is as vigorous as ever; the male
grouse will drum with his accustomed
vim. and there is not a trace of sadness
in the clear whistle of the "Bob-white."
The white-footed mice, too, have been
desperately hungry this winter, and, now
the snow has gone, we may find some
times, under a log or stone heap, a yel
lowish-brown skin, from which the body
has been eaten. During ordinary win
ters these dainty creatures are able to
subsist on seeds, nuts, cherry stones, ana
the like; but when food is as scarce as
it was awhile back, they sometimes are
obliged to eat one another. The meadow
mice, if not reduced to such straits as
this, have at least been kept busy in their
efforts to obtain sufficient food. Only
yesterday I went out to a plantation of
several hundred young trees, and found
that every one of them had been killed
by the meadow mice, which had gnawed
off the bark all the way round, in some
cases to a height of two feet or more
from the ground. It would seem that an
army of mice must have been engaged,
so great was the destruction wrought,
and indeed few of us realize how numer
ous these little rodents are until we be
gin to hunt for them systematically.
In spite of the fact that they are the
natural prey of hawks, owls, cats,
weasles, mink, skunks and foxes, their
name is legion. They are wonderfully
prolific, having usually eight young in a
litter, and at least two litters in a year.
The winding footpaths which they make
through the meadows, if straightened
out and placed end to end, would reach
for thousands of miles—a wonderful
“road system” for little creatures only
0‘s mcr.es long. And when the snow
melts away and the freshets Hood the
low-lying meadows, the mice which
dwelt there in the winter are obliged to
seek higher ground, and how they es
cape drowning is a mystery, unless they
have some warning that their burrows
are soon to be flooded.
And with the melting of the snow
comes the warming of the earth, and
the release of the myriads of creeping,
crawling and flying things which are
destined to become the food of the great
army of birds which is even now invad
ing the land. For many days these
birds have been coming, a very few at
first, but growing in numbers daily.
They are late this year, for they follow
in the wake of retreating winter, and
w inter itself was late in departing. The
vanguard of the bluebirds was more
than a week later than usual, and it was
not until the 10th of March that the first
great flying squadron of Canada geese
passed over Stoneham, Mass., on its
way to the north. High overhead they
winged their way at dusk, their gray
forms mingling with the gathering mist.
In imagination I could hear the “swish"
of the mighty wings that bore them
swiftly onward to the goal toward which
their eager necks were stretched, and
clear as bell notes fell their confident
cries of “Home—home—home.”
On the morning of March 20 I heard
the call of a robin and, looking from t he
window, saw him fly across the garden,
his breast a warm red streak across the
snow he skimmed. How full of interest
and mystery is a newly arrived migrant!
We know not whence ' he comes cf
whither he goes, save in a general way;
yet we feel that he is a bright, cour
ageous spirit, filled with a purpose from
which he is not to be turned by problems
of time or distance or fear of bodily
harm.
The perils of migration were brought
to my mind again, the other day, when
a friend intrusted to my care "a robin
which he had picked up in early March.
The little fellow had the first joint torn
from his wing, an accident which must
deprive him of sustained flight forever.
In other respects he seems as well as any
other robin, and I fear that he does not
understand why we do not give him his
liberty. He is not much afraid, and
hops about the room, picking up food
which has been placed for him. and oc
casionally taking a bath in a dish of
water on the floor. But nothing which
humans can do can make up for the loss
of his wild, free life. At first he tried to
escape by throwing himself against the
panes, but now he mounts by a chair
to a perch close to the window, and there
he stands, like a statue, for an hour at a
time, gazing out upon his lost world.

helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mrs. Pixkham:— I cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
! table Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine I ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
! first menstrual period, I felt so wealc
j and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue
| my studies with the usual interest.
M3’ thoughts became sluggish, I had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
| “ Finally, after many other remedies
' had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable
Compound, and 1 am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time I was in
perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of
iife,. and found all work a pastime. I
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkbani’s Vege
table Compound) for it made a dif
ferent girl of me. Yours very truly,
