HEALTHY BABIES ARE HAPPY
but they cannot be healthy un
less their little organs are func
tioning naturally.
If a laxative is necessary, it
must be gentle in action and
without the slightest degree of
irritation, but at the same time
positive in results.
GLYCERINE SUPOSITORIES
can be used with the utmost
confidence, being made from
pure glycerine and guaranteed to
give prompt laxation.
The special packing keeps them
always fresh and ready for use.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. (Jp)—[The
docket of the Supreme Court is no
longer the hiding place of criminal
appeals.
Persons convicted of crime cannot
now look with confidence to the
court as a haven where they may
have the sentence imposed upon
them indefinately postponed. By the
same token those unlawfully con
victed will find prompt relief.
Formally it took the court four
years to reach a' case after it was
docketed, but under the leadership
of Chief Justice Taft it has decided
to advance the hearings in all crimi
nal cases.
Ordinarily it would not be made
acquainted with the issues presented
in oases upon the docket until the
cause is reached for oral argument.
It now is having the docket closely
watched, and criminal appeals are
promptly brought to its attention
upon filing. These are set for early
hearings, a reasonable time only
being allowed counsel to print the
briefs and prepare for argument. If
counsel is not ready when the case
is reached a satisfactory reason
must be presented to obtain further
delay.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. (/p)—San

raked in a neat bit of money for his
services this Christmas. The exact
amount he has not had time to calcu
late, but his workers estimate the
American public paid approximately
$18,000,000 to the postal service for
handling gifts and greetings.
POLES QUIT READING
WARSAW, Jan. 17. (JP)—The peo
ple of Poland have apparently given
up reading. Forty-eight libraries
have had to go out of business this
year and the book-shops are com
plaining that the number of volumes
sold steadily diminishes, for some
unaccountable reason.

LONDON, Jan. 17. (JP)—Mermaids
exist, says Baron de Fernig, a Dutch
nobleman now in England. Baron
Fernig has spent most of his life in
South Africa and Kenya.
Mermaids, according to the baron
are queer fish that are caught by
Swahilii fishermen off the coast of
East Africa, north of Mombasa. They
have heads with protruding eyes and
a growth strangly like hair. Al
though they have no arms, the body
down to the middle has a quite dis
tinct likeness to the human form.
They are more than five feet in
length.
The flesh was very shrivelled and
scaly but to the touch was quite the
texture of skin,” the Baron Fernig
said. “The natives are very fond of
the meat. So marked is the resem
blance of the fish to human beings,
the natives are required to give very
particular details to the officials be
fore the fish can be sold in the mar
ket.
Schallerer's Alaska Shop will con
tinue the picture deal until January
15. Ask for your ticket with every
purchase of 25c of over.
