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-
d;tion, chiii's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, 53I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say Of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Niles 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 good results In
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor 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 diff.
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 DR.:
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to beneft,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box Of rs doses costs
only IS cents. Never sold in bulk.

Elephants Asleep.

A question often raised In regaru 10
the African elephant is whether this
animal ever rests or not. At first blush
It would appear that there could only
be one answer to the question. so
huge an animal must expend terrlnc
amount OF energy and therefore, as one
might reasonably infer, must need
more time than smaller animals for
rest and refrigeration. Nevertheless
many travellers and some naturalists
have asserted that the African elephant
In its native state never sleeps or at
least never lies down. A correspond
ent who has sent photographs from
Malek. on the White Nile says in the
communication that accompanies them
that the picture represents a herd OF
female elephants photographed In the
bush near Malek. in the Mogalla prov
ince of the Anglo-E Egyptian Sudan. II
has been maintained that the African
elephant never lies down to rest. Sew
eral may be seen thus sleeping
