SIN dealing with man, remem-
ber that a spoonful of oil will go
farther than a gallon of vinegar. :"
The same may be said of chill
dren. There is nothing so good
for children as the old-fashioned
castor oil. However much they
may abhor it, it is their best med
icine for disorders Of the bowels.
In the more severe cases of diar-

after the oil operates, and q quick
cure is sure to follow. For sale

Many public officials are prone
to charge the honest, frank jour
nalist who criticizes their faults
or complains of their shortcom-
ings, while on duty, with meddling
in their business. They must un-
derstand, however, that their con-
duct while performing the duties
of their respective positions is as
much the public's business as their
own, and that it is the duty of the
patriotic newspaper man, while
taxpayers are absorbed in their
private affairs, to note derelic-
tions of duty or malfeasance in
Office, and aequaint those with
such facts who suffer therefrom.
