SOLONS GETTING TO
 WORK IN EARNEST
Important Measures Are Now Being Dispatched in Business-Like
 Way By Legislature

Montgomery, March 17.-(Special )-With the end of the present legislative session ill sight, there being only nine more days allowed under the constitution for the completion of the work before the two houses, the members of the legislature have settled down to steady grind, with a determination to dispose of all of the important measures on the two calendars before the end of the fiftieth day.
 Within the last few days the legisla- ture has accomplished much important work Bills that were at first regarded as a nightmare to most of the members have been dispatched with a facility that has caused no little surprise to those "on- lookers". who have been surveying the work of the state solons from the house and senate galleries.
 The principal bills that have been intro duced have all been nearly dispatched. The revenue bill, which yesterday passed the house, will come up for passage in the senate early next week, and will probably be disposed of in one days ses- sion. The time allowed under the law for the passage of this bill is so short that the measure will have to be acted upon in the senate without days delay, as there are only four days allowed for the passage of this important measure.
 Both the Montgomery and Birming ham commission government bills have passed the legislature and the Mo bile commission government measure will come up for passage in the house the early part of next week. It is an ticipated that there will be no oppo- sition to the Mobile commission bill and this will probably be sent to the gov ernor for his signature the latter part of next week.
 The regulation bill, which has been in the senate committee on temper ance for the last two weeks. will come up for passage early next week. It Is contemplated that the bill will be re- turned to the house fec several minor amendments. but it is not expected that these proposed amendments will offer any great obstacle to the passage of the bill
 The members of the legislature are determined to finish their work ant go home. Many of them are anxious that both houses should hold night sessions in order to more quickly dis patch the numerous measures on the calendars and this will probablya be done beginning next week.

Auburn, Ala, March h.-With 700 col lege boys on the spot, Auburn's life is never humdrum; and yet the town has never known of more daring student prank than that which has been the sen sation of the week-the theft of the clap per of the great college bell.
 The bell, which rings the students to their every duty, hangs in the tower of the main building. It is enormous; the clapper itself is more than three feet long and weighs s2 pounds.
 Stealing into the building last Friday night, under the nose of the watchman. few college boys mounted the stairs and ladders 100 feet into the belfry. The task of taking the clapper from the bell. con- sidering the precarious footing in the tower, and the task of transporting safely the heavy prize down the ladders without the slightest noise, all made the prank hazardous.
 The college bell was silent for several days. College authorities were aroused to the serious nature of the offense. and the daring vandals, having gloated suf- ficiently over their capture, and perhaps

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters -of
Christian Charity, 53r Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases Of sickness say of them:
"some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had g6od results in
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
alive Tablets, however, this diftl.
Guilty is overcome. The shape OF
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence of other taste, make Dir.
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box Of rs doses costs
only IS cents. Never sold in bulk.

EVdngellSL Burke spoke on
Forgiveness. It was a strong
Bible appeal, and. was a sermon
that was much needed. We all
! live on too low a plane, when it
comes to this. We are too easily
offended and not ready to for
give.
I Text Matt. g.: 14-15 For if
we forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also
forgive you: but if We forgive
not men their trespasses, Meth
| er will your Father forgive
your trespasses. =
We understand the word for
giveness is the most important
word in the Lords prayer, for
it is the only word that Jesus
stopped and commented on.
You otter hear a man say II
can forgive, but / can't forget )"
If you hear anyone speak thus
you must remember he has not
forgiven.
1t takes a strong character to
ask for forgiveness. A coward
will never ask.
The spirit that prompts me to
ask for forgiveness will also
prompt me to forgive. We need
the forgiving spirit in our
homes. We need the strength
of character to ask forgiveness
in our homes. If you want a
happy home you must have it.
When is it time to forgive ?
God forgives us when we con-
fess our sins, and He does not
ask us to do more.
It is the duty of every man to|
be a gentleman and he will if he
has the love Of God in his heart.
If | offend you, it is my duty
to ask you to forgive me, and !
will if | am not a coward.
No man can do effective SER
vice and have malice in his
heart. The spirit of God will
help you to adjust every diff
Guilty.
If you want to get close to
God get close to each other. You
must love one another and be
brave enough to confess your
sins. You can't be happy with
hatred lurking down deep in
your heart. You must live
right if you want to grow in
grace.
Behind every division there is /
big, black, damnable sin.
If you go through this world
and say / am not to blame, it
was not my fault, you can go
and let him know you are not a
coward,you can do your utmost
to adjust things.
When you look into the face
of the dead you can't see any
thing mean there. But it IS too
late then. 1t is sweet to die and
know you have no enemies and
that we have done our duty to
make it so.
I remember that / had tram
pied the love of God underfoot.
But one Sunday morning in
Perry, Oklahoma in lonely
room in hotel I fell on my
knees and came to one that was
able to forgive and ever since |
have wanted to tell the story on
hill top, valley, church and in
acknowledgement love to
tell it-that forgiveness holds
good here and over there.
