Ladies' and Children Invited

All ladies and children who can
not stand the shocking strain OF
laxative syrups, cathartics, etc, are
invited to try the famous Little
Early Risers. They are different
from all other pills, They do not
purge the system. Even a double
dose will not grippe, weaken or
sicken; many people call them the
the Easy PHI. W. H. Howell,
Houston, Tex, says nothing better
can be used for constipation, sick
headache, etc. Bob Moore, La
tayette, Ind, says all others grippe
and sicken, while UeWitt's Little
Early Risers do their work well
and easy. Sold by

Read 1t in His Newspaper

George Schaub, a we'll known
German citizen of New Lebanon,
Ohio, Is a constant reader of the
Dayton Volkszeltung. He knows
that his paper aims to advertise
only the best In Its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain
Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate In buying
a bottle of 1t for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains In her back and
could get no relief. He says. "Af
ter using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, I feel as
though born anew and before
using the entire contents of the
bottle the unbearable pains had
entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household du-
ties" He Is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise
will hear of her wonderful discov.
cry. This valuable linimeut Is for
sale by G. W. Grier.

voice of the cuckoo is first heard in

The two piece matinee tea gown will
be much worn this season.
Cobweb silk or Isle stockings remain
the highest favorites. although many
openwork stockings are shown.
Linens, fine mulls, handkerchiefs,
cambrics and nainsooks are used in the

1t must be admitted that foulard has
lost some of its popularity, the pongees,
taffetas, louisines and grapes having
usurped its place for elaborate cos

The two stood and gaZed into each

then Walser turned and continued his
