Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children 1t an early age
become consupated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, 55I Charles ST..
LuzcrEe, Pa, who attend many
cases Of sickness say OF them:
Some time ago we began using Or.
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 good results in
every case and the Sisters arc 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

THE TARIFF IN SUMMER DRESS FOR
HOT-WEATHER READING.

A fancy wash fabric manufactured in New
England for 9 2-3 cents yard is sold by the
manufacturer at lax cents-a manufacturing
profit of Al ~ per cent, less selling expenses OF
or, at most, per cent The jobber (whole-
sale distributer) adds 81 cents-a profit of 22A
per cent, less selling expenses The retailer
adds another 42S per cent, and the American
housewife gets the cloth at rs cents-cloth that
in England can be bought retail for II cents,
identical in weave and quality WHY?
Cotton curtain scrim, found In millions Of
homes, is made in America at a cost that gives
the manufacturer ample profit selling it to the
print works at cents yard The print works
sells to the jobber at 10 1-3 cents, although 1t
finishes the goods at cost of 1877 cents. The
jobber adds 20 per cent laying down the cur
tain -scrim to the department store at 1914
cents The retailer charges the American
housewife 10 to 20 cents More than likely he
advertises it as IMPORTED" and sells it for
the top price. because the tariff is so high that
the genuine imported goods Cannot be sold for
less. 1t costs just much in England to make
this curtain material, yet the English retailer
sells it for 1922 cents (71k pence) a yard
against 10 to 20 cents under the American
tariff! WHY?-From n Y World

Back to tho Farm.
(By Will n. Hale.)

I'm goin' back to farm life, Bill
I've left the crowded town;
If should want ter leave ag'in, Jest
take and knock me down!
Yes, back among the humble ways,
where water, time an air
Don't cost you half that you can make
In spite Of all your care!
Jest like most boys a-grown' up, |
thought the farm too slow,
An longed for faster ways, where
mems main motto was to go;
found a job-fOur VS. a week, four
times what I'd expect,
A-jumpin' clods and splittin' rails, an
cussin' dialect;
An yit I'm goin' back, dear Bill, to
where It's slow an cool,
An eff | leave ag'in jest set me down
screamin fool!
"You see / rented me a room upon a
seventh floor
Some nearer Heaven, in the town,
than | had been before!
patronized the restaurant, and little
friendship found,
An paid porter, or some one else,
fer every turn around;
An by the time my month was out,
this thing is true | speak
I'd done 'blowed in meren I had
made at eighty-odd a week.
An so the way the money went in
this new life Of go
| learned the rhyme that fitted best
was that ere slang word blow!
An so I'm goin back, dear Bill,
where air and waters free,
An bread an milk and sich make
life jest good enough for mel"

COuplet MaXins.

&C. II. Meiers, in Farm and Home.)
A resolution put in use
Is better than a good excuse.
Give friends the benefit of doubt;
Don't let your faith in them die out.
1t does not prove that you are right
If you must cheat to win a game
Stop playing ere you come to shame.
The man who hates birds sweet
song
Knows less of virtue than of wrong.
Men who perform the greatest feats
Look plain and common in the streets
IT'S better far to try aud fail
Than to just sit around and wall
Don't scorn the poor man whom you
meet;
Tomorrow he might own your street.
The noblest thoughts and deeds OF
Are not recorded by the pen.
Heroes alone, in life's great plot,
May scorn the weak; and they will
not.
Live each day so no one need weep
Ger your misdeeds the while you
sleep.
Each jealous thought kill at its birth;
True love and faith command their
worth.
When dealing think: Would this
seem fair
If were he who listens there?
You have no right to ask of Jim
A favor you'd not do for him.
Just when they think they know 1t all,
Wise men, like aviatOrs, fall.
Give men the chance that each one
needs
To rise above youths foolish deeds.
Despite what others claim, / say:
The world grows better every day.

through the heart at 2.3O o'clock this
morning when q woman, Lottie Fow-
ler, with whom he was infatuated.
Informed him that she intended to
return to Atlanta to-day. Lottie Fow-
ler came here several weeks ago
from Atlanta and went to the under
world district. Young Farris saw
her often and became grief-stricken
at the thought Of her deaprture.
When he informed her that If she
persisted in leaving Augusta he
would kill himself, the woman did
not take Farris seriously. A revol-
yer shot, however, showed how much
in earnest he was, and he fell dead
with bullet through the chest.

Strict enforcement Of municipal
and State laws in the East was said
by the postal authorities to account
for the comparatively few arrests in
the large cities in that part Of the
country. While 1t was declared that
violations Of the law are frequent in
such cities as Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, the ac-
cused persons, it was asserted, have
been pursued closely by the State and
Federal officials.
Condition on Coast.
Post office inspectors said the hot
bed Of this class of climinality Is in
the Pacific Coast States. In San
Francisco, it was claimed, q fictitious
name was used by several we'll
known physicians, who employed
woman to do the necessary adyertis-
Ing and clerical work. Cases were
solicited by correspondence and by
printed circulars sent through the
mails. Scores Of complaints have
been received by the department
from respectable women, complaining
of the receipt of this class of matter.
Approximately 20 per cent OF those
arrested to-day are so-called "pill
doctors"-men who advertised their
practice by correspondence or other
wise-and sent to their patients COM
pounds In the form Of pills or pow,
ders. Careful analysis of these COM
pounds by the government authori-
ties Is said to have disclosed that
SOME Of them are wholly innocuous,
while others are dangerous poisons.
Under another section of the penal
code, the sending Of poisons through
the mails Is expressly forbidden. One
Of the men accused is said to have
been the secretary Of the board of
health in the city Of his residence.
He responded, 1t Is stated, to decoy
or test letter sent to him by the in
spector on the stationery Of the
board Of health. He has been indict-
ed, according to the reports received
by the post office inspectors.

1t will not be denied that the men
who, on July 4, '177G, pledged "their

ers Of American Independence.

The men from Delaware-indeed
AS true as steel in utmost need
Were Rodney, with Mexican and

"My Maryland" is proud to own
Her Carroll Paca, Chase and Stone.
