Gives Party For Children.
The children of the Element
ary Department of the Methodist
Sunday School were royally en
tertained by Miss Dove Erwin,
.superintendent of the depart
ment, at her home on Laurel
street, Friday evening with a
regular Fourth of July party.
The lawn was profusely dec
orated with flags, bunting and
Japanese lanterns. Several doz
en of little red chairs from the
Sunday School {oom were also
placed on the lawn for the little
folks, who certainly had the
time of their lives.
Mrs. Henry E. Spears interest
ed the children with two patriot
ic stones that were as much ap
preciated by the large number
of grown-ups, who happened in
to assist in various ways, as the
__
Ice cream cones, cakes and red
lemonade were heartily relish
ed, after which the “fireworks”
began. A dozen or more bal
loons were sent up, followed by
other and beautiful displays.
The party was a perfect suc
cess and was a rare treat to all
the little folks who are appre
ciative of the interest manifest
ed in them by Miss Erwin, whom
they hold in much love and es
teem.

Some years after impaired health

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble j
Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
•erious consequences result. Not '
being able to realize his own con
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
end children. The Sisters of j
Christian Charity. 5ji Charles St,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
"Some time ago we began using Or.
lilies’ Laxative Tablets and And that
we like them very muoh. Their action
la excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results In
every case and the Slaters are vary
much pleased."
The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it The taste and
appearance are especially important ,
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child “medicine,” even 1
though the taste is partially dis
guised In using Dr. Miles’ Lax
ative Tablets, however, this diffi
culty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and i
candy-like taste at once appeal to j
any child, with the result that they !
ire taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and t
absence of other taste, make Dr. j
Miles' Laxative Tablets the ideal '
remedy tor children.
