Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children It an early age
become coastipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Or. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well 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 DIR.
Miles Laxative Tablets ard find that
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent ard 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 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 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 flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.

Under Gods arrangement with the

We are not to forget that such spe-

Authority to Forgive Sins.


There are certain great. basic prin-
ciples relating to Gods dealings with
humanity which should be recognized.
Jehoyah's Government is based, not
upon mercy, but upon Justice; as we
read, "Justice is the foundation of Thy
Throne" In one sense of the word
Divine Justice never forgives and new
er can do so, as we will explain. We
read, "All His work is perfect" Man
was thus created perfect, in the image
and likeness of the Creator, and there
fore needed no provision for mercy SO
long as he was in relation with his
God.
When temptation came, man fell
from Divine favor and life into disfa-
vor and under the death sentence. But
another feature of the Divine charac-
ter, Love, was brought into exercise for
mans relief But Divine Love or Mer-
cy could not override or interfere with
Divine Justice. In other words, God
could not forgive sinner whom He
had sentenced to death. What He
could and did do, was 10 proVlde IN
due time for mans redemption. All Of
Divine Mercy, therefore flows through
the channel of redemption.
The Philosophy Of the Forgiveness of
Sins.
Applying this principle to our Savior
and His teachings, we ask, How could
He forgive sins when Divine Justice
could not forgive sins, nor set aside
the penalty of sin? The answer Is.
Jesus was the representative of Divine
Mercy, and was at that time amongst
men for the purpose Of giving His life
as a sacrifice on mans account. and
therefore to Him belonged the distinc-
tive honor of forgiving sins
However, His surrender of His all
did not give Him the authority to for
give sins 1t was the heavenly Ia
Tiers acceptance of His conservation
His sacrifice. that counted. Gods ac-
ceptance Of Jesus sacrifice was mani

There are stunning white homespun

cut like a mans overcoat. Such coats
are extremely fashionable this season
and are worn in town over trotteur
frocks of serge. poplin and the silky mo-
hair and worsted mixtures which have a
crepelike weave, yet are a bit heavier
than all-silk crepe, which is not suitable
for morning wear. These coats have
usually fronts that button clear up to

the front from the neck to the beginning

about at the knee. There is narrow
velvet scarf-collar of the sort just de-

all bound with black silk braid. This
coat has been ordered for country wear
with short skirt of navy blue cordu-
roy and buttoned tan boots. The cos

conventionality and dignity than the live

they like long walks in the winter woods

Horseback riding is the ideal sport for
winter days. One is soon all in a glow
when cantering over hard roads in the
crisp air, and while in summer this exer-
else is apt to be a bit violent for COM

But the woman who rides in winter
should have a big. warm coat ready to
slip on the minute she dismounts. es-
pecially if she is to ride home from a
country club in an open motor car. Cross
saddle riding is the thing for Out-of-
town. and even women who would not
dream of riding astride in the city parks

warmer underwear would be really I'M

rants. but out in the country things are
different. One walks, skates or motors
out in the cold by the hour, and espe-
cially when standing about on the ice or
on the frozen ground does the cold strike
to the marrow of ones bones. Warm
underwear, of wool or at least of silk
and wool, is essential even If it is taken

The girl who really loves the country

doors will slip her favorite sweater into
the weekend or holiday trunk-or will
take along her coy mackinaw with it's

displaced the popular sweater, and some
women will wear nothing else in the way

ment and absence of clumsiness. The
