Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an early ag*
become constipated, and frequently
serious 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
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 531 Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
"Some time ago wo began using Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets and llnd that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
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
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
car. !;, K. • taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children. «
If the lirst box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of 25 doses costa
only 25 cents. Never sold in bulk.

Old Mart Lewis Offers Protest.
Mr. P. H. Van Dyke,
Newport, Arkansas.
Dear Mr. Van Dyke:
As a special favor to me and
Mr. Cap. I want you to give
notice that the next house par-1
ty that starts to Bolyne had bet-!
ter go somewhere else. There '
are only a few scrawny pullets !
left, that never will stop running
away long enough to get to
frying size, and the young tur
keys are plumb discouraged and
won’t amount to nothing. There
aint a potato left in the garden,
and not much of anything else.
The calves will just have to
have a little milk now, and Pol
ly and the other horses need a
rest.
The Victrola is ruined. You
can put on “By the Old Cathed
ral Door” and start the machine
and get “The Lame Duck”, put
on the “Festival Te Deum” and I
get “Get Out And Get Under”
Once in awhile it will play the
“Dream Waltz” for a change,
but only when we put something
on by the “Trinity Choir”.
Then take it among my own
people; Eliza would have one of
those skirts that you can see
through- That would have been
all right if she had have been
[satisfied to have only worn it
[to the store and other social
[gatherings, but she would wear
jit to church, and the parson is
so old fashioned.
1
This is a quiet neighborhood
and not given to going about
much but the women folks are
just sure to try to make all the
clothes that they see the white
folks wear. Sometimes they
don’t quite get the ideas and
the effects are striking to say
the least. Even the parson said
it was demoralizing.
Then, too, the white men folks
in the neighborhood are all
complaining. Every moment
that they are in the house the
women folks have them, and
they are going, ‘‘One, two, three,
hes-i-tate” and. other foolishness
until they just Hate to go home
and spend most of their time at
the store
We were powerful glad to
have all these fine Newport peo
ple come to see us, but. Lordee,
people, I am an old man. I just
can’t stand it again- That’s why
f am sending you this letter.
Yours truly,
MART LEWIS.
