BUDS AND FLOWERS OF

Paine'8 Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever h. carefully
tended in childhood and youth, il We expect
them to ripcn into perfect men ana women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch.
ings of limbs and muscles They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds OF disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken 10 restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, Try the health
giving virtues Of Paine's Celery Compound.

The sentiment is growing among
the people Of this State that there
must be serious consideration Of the
tax revision question. 1t does not
seem possible to take action at the
present session Of the Legislature, but
Governor White will be sustained by
public opinion if he shall call an ex-
ira session to consider this important
matter. The people demand that the
great corporations that are now alb
sorbing West Virginia's riches shall
pay fair share of taxation, and the
tax commission has pointed out the
way in which this may be done. 1t
is probably true that these bills have
imperfections, and possibly some OF
them may prove impracticable. In
the main, however, they are wise and
sensible, and the people expect the
Legislature to consider them proper
ly and pass them so far as they can
be demonstrated to be for the public
good. The corporations will of course
resist these bills, but the corporations
must not be permitted to stand in the
way of tax reform.

The Davis News publishes the fol-
loving: REV. W. J. Holt, of Mounds
Vile, formerly pastor of the Elkins
Methodist Episcopal Church, created
a sensation in the revival services
which have been in progress at Mounds
vile for the past few weeks by max
ing an open confession from the floor
of the assembly room. He said he
had fallen from grace had been drink
ing heavily, finally passing to gam
bling, in which he had won $4,000.
He said he had accumulated prop
erty and worldly goods, and had led a
life he should have eschewed and not
even contemplated. The young cler-
gyman, after leaving the congregation,
took up the study of law, and recently
acquired some property at Mounds
vile. The manner and method of its
getting he told openly and pledged
his friends that he would do better,
The incident, his friends declare, dem
onstrated true contrition, and he Is
once more in the good graces Of his
former religious associates. The re-
vival that prompted Holt to take this
step has been in progress for some
time, and 200 have professed CONVEX
