SYRUP PEPSIN
A Doctor's Family Laxative
THE STORY
Renewing a childhood attach-
ment, Ernestine Briceland, of a
wealthy family, is attracted by
Will Todd, newspaper artist, son
of a carpenter. They lunch to-
gether and recall their school
days. Ernestine’s sister, Lillian,
knowing their father would dis-
approve, urges her t-o end the
affair, but Ernestine refuses. The
love-making progresses rapidly.
They make a runaway marriage.
CHAPTER II—Continued
—5—
“Not at all,” said Will quickly.
“But anyhow, we are married. I know
this strikes you suddenly, sir, but we
just decided in haste, and as we want
nothing but your blessing—”
“Be still!” exclaimed papa passion-
ately, and he turned to Ernestine.
“Where were you married? By
whom?”
Will took the conversation into his
own hands with deliberation.
“We went to town about noon, went
to the courthouse and got our license,
then to a jeweler and bought the ring
and waited while it was engraved.”
Ernestine held up her slim hand, and
showed the astonishing gold band on
her third finger. “Then we took a
taxi out to my mother's house, got her
and went to the church I was reared
in, in Avondale, and were married.”
“But why this mad haste?” splut-
tered papa, who was almost inco-
herent. “Ernestine,” turning to his
daughter, in renewed determination
to have nothing to do with Will,
“what’s got into you? I am sure you
have been under some dreadful influ-
ence. I can’t understand how you
could act this way. I can’t be-
lieve it.”
He was furious, he was undone, but
he still had a note of command in his
voice. Ernestine felt his strength with
terror.
“Papa—” she began, but Will cut in
resolutely, so that in spite of papa’s
determination to talk to Ernestine the
situation narrowed itself constantly to
papa and Will.
“Ernestine was afraid, sir, that you
might try to separate us. My own in-
stinct in the matter was that we
should talk this over with you, but I
see, now, that she was right. You
must understand, sir, that we are mar-
ried, and your objections are futile.”
“Ernestine had reason to fear me,”
papa said in a voice none of them had
ever heard from him before. Ernes-
tine felt herself shrivel under it. Papa
had no intention of considering him-
self futile.
“She had reason to fear me, and so
had you. I suspect your fear was
more important than her own. Even
if she were a fool, you might have
been decent about it. I have no in-
tention whatever of letting her go
away from here with you. You’ll
learn, sir, that there are such things
as annulments, even as divorce. Just
because she has made one foolish mis-
take, is no reason why I should let her
ruin her whole life. You have be-
haved very badly, but your behavior
ends here and now. Ernestine stays
here. You may go, and I will deal
with you outside the house.”
Ernestine felt that everything was
lost, but Will only laughed. If papa
were new and strange, so was her
young husband, for he seemed to glow,
to fill out, to be biggei* and stronger.
“Don’t be silly,” he said. “Ernes-
tine is of age. She married me of her
own free will, and if you tried any
such stunts, she would say so. Our
marriage is entirely legal. It stands
before everything else. She is now
my wife, and my home is her home,
and you can’t detain her.”
“We’ll see,” said papa grimly, and
then mamma broke in.,
“You shouldn’t have, Ernestine.
Your shouldn’t have run off and got
married, without telling mamma. It’s
the biggest, the most important thing
in your life—and to take such a step
without your people knowing it! I
can’t bear to think you’d go off and be
married—and not tell me.”
“I’m sorry, mamma,” said Ernestine
In distress, and papa took things up
again. He had made a decision.
“Go to your room, Ernestine,” he
said in a voice of stern command,
“and stay there until I can talk to
you. If you ladies will excuse us, we
will settle this among ourselves. Do
you hear me?” he said sharply, turn-
ing hi% furious eyes upon Ernestine.
She faltered, half turned to go in
automatic command, for papa had al-
ways ruled his home, without much
effort, but Will put his hand on her
arm.
“Stay here, Ernestine,” he said in
a low voice, and she paused, unde-
cided, while mamma and Lillian
seemed to be grouped together on the
other side of the room.
“I can understand your distress,
sir,” said WUTj “I can see just how
you feel about this, not knowing me
at all and not understanding my mo-
tives. But you exceed your authority.
If you should detain Ernestine here
by force, I have only to go out and
get the nearest policeman and come
back for her. You can’t do it.”
There was a moment of incredulous
silence, and papa half turned to Lor-
ing, in appeal, and Loring said in a low
tone, “He’s right.”
Will followed this advantage swiftly.
“After all, what have you against
ne. except you think I may want
Ernestine’s money? We have decided

to do without that. I’m not a stran-
ger to you. You’ve known my father
for thirty years. You know my people,
that they are honorable and decent.
There’s no reason at all why I shouldn’t
make any marriage I choose, even
with Ernestine. I’m working. I can
take care of her.”
Papa raised his clenched fist above
his head, as though he would strike
Will, and Ernestine made a little moan
and mamma screamed. But Loring
put his hand on papa’s arm, and drew
him back. And in that moment Lil-
lian went to Ernestine and put her
arms around her and kissed her.
“Oh, Lili!” Ernestine cried, and
burst into terrible tears. “Papa,
papa,” she cried, turning from Lillian
to her father, and holding out her

hands, “don’t quarrel with us. I can’t
bear it. I love Will. I wanted to
marry him. Let us go ahead with
our own married life, now, but don’t
quarrel with us.”
“It’s you who have broken faith,”
said papa. “Not your mother and I.
You’ve put this stranger before us.
You can’t have both.”
Ernestine was appalled.
“You mean that I can’t come home?”
Papa attained a grim smile.
“That’s what I mean,” he said, but
now mamma broke in hysterically.
“I won’t be separated from Ernes-
tine. I won’t permit it,” she cried,
and went to her younger daughter and
took her in her arms. “Darling, you
can come home as long as mamma
lives here. I will see you every day.
It’s dreadful. It’s hard on all of us,
and it will be terrible for you. But
mamma will not let her little girl go
away like this.”
“Elaine!” said papa, but she turned
to him, as full of anger as he.
“The child is married,” she ex-
claimed. “She may have made a mis-
take, but if she has, it is only a rea-
son for standing by her. This is my
home, as well as yours. I won’t be
instructed to let my little girl go out
friendless. You may do what you like
with me, and send me away, too, if
you can, but I am going to see Ernes-
tine. I am going to have her here.”
Of course papa was helpless, and he
said' so with a shrug.
“Mamma,” said Ernestine, “I am
willing to take the responsibility for
my marriage. After all, it’s I who
married Will.”
“Not you alone,” said mamma vig-
orously. “The whole family has mar-
ried him, and we may as well realize
it. For nobody marries just one of
the Bricelands. We are all going to
stand together, always. Papa, we will
have to make the best of it. The mar-
riage will have to stand.”
Papa would not look at her, nor
answer.11
“We’ll have to go,” said Will.
“Goodby, darling,” said mamma, and
embraced her. “I’ll see you soon.”
“Goodby, papa,” Ernestine faltered,
but papa held his stubborn attitude.
“I’ll have to go upstairs and get
some things,” murmured Ernestine, as
they went into the hall.
Lillian went upstairs with Ernes-
tine. Mamma came out and put her
hand on Will’s arm.
“Be good to her,” she implored.
“If you can’t take care of her, if she’s
not happy, let her come back.”
“I will, Mrs. Briceland,” he said
soberly. “I appreciate what you have
done.”
Mamma wept afresh.
“It is hard for her father. He wor-
ships her. You must understand him.
Ft is a terrible blow to him. He will
come around.”
The girls came down the stairs, and
after a nloment Ernestine and Will
were out in the dark street again, with
her small dressing case in Will’s hands.
The family stood about in the living
room in stricken silence.
The silence lasted for some mo-
ments, then Mrs. Briceland turned to
her husband.
“You should never have let her go
off like that,” she said reproachfully.
“What will she do?”
“I had no intention of letting her
go, if you hadn’t interfered,” he ex-
claimed. “I was only threatening her
with the loss of the family, in order
to get her to stay here—to gain a
little time.”
“She wouldn’t have done it,” said
Lillian. “She’s too crazy about him.
It probably was her idea that they get
married first. She meant it. You
couldn’t have kept her.”
“How much do you suppose he
earns, on the Sun?” asked mamma,
and Loring answered:
“Probably anywhere from twenty-
five to forty dollars a week.”
At that papa threw up his hands in
a gesture of despair and turned to
leave the room, but he looked back at
his wife darkly.
“If you had stood by me,” he said
to her, “if we had all stood together,
we could have held her here. You
went back on me, both you and Lil-
lian. It gave them courage. Now, you
can think of her, God knows where,
with that upstart.” He went into the
hall, and mamma followed film, her
bright persistent voice coming down
the stair:
“You shouldn’t have let them go.
We might have kept them both here,
and taken care of them. Lewis, you’ll
have to make up your mind to give
in, and get him a better job—”
The voices trailed off, and an up-
stairs door closed upon them. Grand-
mother went stiffly out of the room.
Lillian began to move about the room,
satisfying her need for order by push-
ing the chairs in place, straightening
the pillows and moving the things on
the table. Loring stood by the fire,
staring into it, his face flushed, one
hand opening and closing nervously.
Lillian came and spoke to him in a
voice which was already like mamma’s.
“I’m sorry you got into this,” she
said. “It’s terrible. How can Ernes-
tine act that way? She’s the most
haphazard thing. But this is the worst
yet. I feel as though she had ruined
herself. But you aren’t going to be
angry with her, are you, Loring?”
“No,” he said. “No, I won’t be an-
gry with her. Your mother’s right.
The family must stand by her.”
Lillian shuddered a little.
“It seems dreadful to me,” she said.
“Ernestine out somewhere in Chicago,
with that man. I don’t see how she
can be crazy about him in the first
place, and how she could have mar-
ried him in the secgnd.”
■Loring reached out his hand and
ran his fingers down the crepe sleeve
of her dress, caught her fingers and
held them in his own.
“Would you do that much,” he
asked wistfully, “if you cared for a
man? Would you defy everything for
him?”
“I don’t know,” said Lillian hon-
estly. “I don’t know. I want things
nice. I want some plan and arrange-
ment to my life.”
“But if'the man you cared for was
not—eligible,” he persisted, “would
you marry him anyhow?”
“It’s not a fair question,” protested
Lillian, and then added softly: “I
don’t know what I would do. Be-
cause I’ve cared for only one man,
and he has been eligible in every way.
So I can’t imagine how I would act
under other circumstances.”
There was a little silence, and then
he said, in a stifled voice:
g “Is it I, Lillian?”
She looked up at him, and his face
was full of suffering. Her own was
compassionate.
“Did you care for Ernestine, Lor-
ing?” she asked him, but he shook
himself quickly.
“No, no!” he exclaimed. “Not—
that way. I’m fond of her. She’s been
like a little sister to me, always. But
it’s you I care for. It’s you I want for
my wife. Is it possible that you care
for me, Lillian?”
“I always have,” she answered sim-
ply, and he stared down at her, and
again his voice was queer and strained.
“I’m like Ernestine,” he said, “what
I. want is love.”
She put up her fair sweet face, and
he kissed her placid lips.
“I love you, Loring,” she assured
him, and he took her roughly into his
arms.
“You hurt me,” she complained in a
moment, and he released her and stood
holding her hand gently.
“I want love,” he said again with
poignancy, and Lillian assured him in
her quick bright voice that she loved
him.

Grecian Influence on Culture of Old Rome
Almost as far back as the history
of Rome extends Greek influences are
to be traced in the development of
Roman culture. The Roman people
were conservative and slow to culti-
vate the artistic sense. Rome had
little creative genius. In her whole
history she did not produce an artist
such as Phidias and Praxiteles. The
nature of the Roman was unusually
practical and idealized power, law and
profit. The Romans never created a
distinctive style of architecture such
as the Greeks. They borrowed their
architecture from the Etruscans and
the Greeks. The literary life of Rome
has a profound effect upon mankind—
Cicero with his orations, political and
educational treatises; Caesar with his
commentaries on the Gallic war; Sal-
lust with his history of Rome; the
poets Lucretius and Catullus. These
poets, however, do not compare with
the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer, the
Greek philosophers Plato and Aris-
totle, Socrates, Xenophon and the
orators Lyais and Isocrates.
Known Only by Tradition
Tradition has attached the name
of Dismas to the thief who repented
on the cross, when the Savior was
crucified, and Gestas to the impeni-
tent one. Both names are highy im-
probable.
MILK RULES ARE
BASED ON HEALTH
States Are Now Seeking the
Same Level for Butterfat,
That the rules for health are be-
coming standardized throughout the
nation and they are becoming more
uniform in the respective states is in-
dicated by figures compiled from the
latest government reports by the Hol-
stein-Friesian Association of America
and put in a condensed summary of
“A Few Facts to Be Considered in
Drafting a Milk Ordinance or Milk
Regulations.”
They show that 44 states have their
own regulations in regard to the but-
terfat and total solids content sold as
whole milk and that five use the fed-
eral regulations in this regard. Forty-
two states now have fat requirements
of 3.25 per cent or less, compared to
39 states in 1926. One has a fat re-
quirement of 3.3 per cent, two require
3.35 per cent, and four require 3.50
per cent. Since 1926, three more
states have found it advisable to
change the requirement from 3.50 to
3.25 per cent. No state requires 4
per cent fat. and the federal score card
no longer requires 4 per .cent fat in
order to have a “perfect” milk.
Chicago and New York recently con-
sidered the advisability of requiring
the high fat standard of 3.5 per cent
fat in whole milk but decided that
3.25 per cent was a better require-
ment. Doctors generally oppose a
high fat requirement, especially for
children and invalids, and some advo-
cate 2 per cent fat in milk as more
satisfactory for children. Commer-
cial milk companies have discovered
this same fact on their milk routes as
they find that more butterfat (and
consequently more milk) will be used
by their patrons when the fat content
more nearly approaches that of moth-
er’s milk which is comparable in fat
content to that of the average cow.
Clean Utensils Assist
in High Grade Cream
(By JAMES W. LINN, Extension Dairy-
man, Kansas State Agricul-
tural College.)
Past experience shows that It is im-
possible to make a truly high grade
butter from butterfat that has come
from frozen cream. It is not uncom-
mon for cream to set on the floor of
the kitchen or some other room and
be a long time in cooling. Such a
practice is no more desirable in the
winter than in the summer nor is it
best to add warm cream to cool cream
or to older cream without first cooling
the new cream.
For most profitable results recom-
mendations call for clean utensils so
that when the milk comes in contact
with them it will not be contaminated.
The dairyman who is after high grade
cream in the winter will pay attention
to the cleanliness of his cows. Clean
stalls, clipping of the hair on the ud-
der and right flank so that it will not
retain the dirt and filth, and removal
of loose particles of dirt with a damp
rag or sponge will help in securing
quality cream.
Salt and Mineral Cups
Increase Production
Salt and mineral cups, which are a
rather new piece of barn equipment,
have been responsible for increased
milk flow. These cups are used in
connection with automatic drinking
bowls, and attach to the stanchions
within convenient reach of the cows.
Besides supplying needed mineral food
for milk production, constant access
to salt also stimulates thirst and re-
sults in consumption of greater quan-
tities of water. Many dairymen find
that the definite increase in milk flow
will pay for the cost of the cups in
about two months time.
Much investigation has been made
to determine the best design and
shape of salt cups. It has been found
that cows will waste much of the min-
eral if the containers are shallow and
wide topped. Consequently the ten-
dency is to make the cups with rather
narrow openings so that the cow can
reach the salt with her tongue only.
Cattle Abortion Can Be
Completely Eradicated
The complete eradication of abortion
disease from cattle herds is possi-
ble, and would mean stopping a seri-
ous source of loss to the dairymen,
according to Dr. H. J. Metzger of the
New York State College of Agriculture,
who recommends the blood test and
the isolation of infected animals as a
means of stamping out the disease.
These measures are complete isola-
tion of the diseased animal, complete
cleanliness, the rearing of all animals
on the farm to keep from re-infecting
a clean herd. A more complete dis-
cussion is given in a new bulletin, just
written by Doctor Metzer and pub-
lished by the college, which will be
sent free of charge to anyone who
will write to the college of agriculture
at Ithaca and ask for bulletin E 182.
Give Calf Chance
Young calves are quite susceptible
to certain infections, as also to indi-
gestion brought about by improper
feeding. It is one thing to bring a
cow safely through calving and anoth-
er thing to bring her calf safely
through the first few weeks of its life.
Young calves should be born in
clean places. It is too much to expect
good results with calves born in places
teeming with the cause of infections.
Navel infection is a frequent cause of
digestive disturbance.
Amazes Mother
“Bobbie’s stomach was often upset
and he suffered a lot from colds,”
says Mrs. P. S. Fletcher, Jr., 4410
IV. 30th St., Los Angeles, Cal. “We
found he was constipated.
“Mother used California Fig Syrup,
so we gave Bobbie some. He amazed
me by the quick way he became
strong, energetic, well again. His
bowels .act freely now, and his
digestion is splendid.”
The quick, safe>way to cleanse and
regulate the bowels of bilious, head-
achy, constipated children is with
California Fig Syrup. Every child
loves it. It has the full endorsement
of doctors. Appetite is increased by
its use; digestion is assisted; weak
