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, chiij's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DIR. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, SCI Charles St,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases OF sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DIR.
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 DIR. 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.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box OF IS doses costs
only rs cents. Never sold in bulk.

back 10 my wife. who is sick and fail
ing"
The liberated murderer stopped short
and seemed on the verge Of a break
down. Quickly he pulled himself up and
with a broad smile exclaimed:
Il feel good at getting out Of this
I've always kept my spirits up. Now, I
can't say any more"
Outside the prison was a battery OF
newspaper photographers. When Patrick
espied them he shrank back, but when
they urged that he pose he reluctantly
did It. The cameras clicked and Patrick
with a wave of hic hand, strode into the
automobile.
As Patrick left the prison Warden Ken
nedy handed him 500, of which hs
earned $40 during his Incarceration. The
State gives departing former convicts 80
in addition to the money they have
earned. which goes at the rate Of cent
and a half a day. besides car fare home
In Patrick's case the car fare waS~r-
cents.
During Patrick's time at Sing Sing
warm feeling had sprung up in his hear,
for the warden. So when it came time I
hop into the automobile Patrick turned
around to shake Kennedy's hand for the
third time. One might almost have
thought that he hated to leave.
Just as Patrick stepped into the auto
mobile Pasquale Doti. a prisoner who
went to Sing Sing in 1885 on conviction OC
murder in the second degree, on a If"
sentence, and who was pardoned on
Wednesday by Gov. Dix, walked out ~
the prison. Doti's pardon had come along
with Patrick's. The former lawyer had
helped Doti in his effort for the pardon.
Doti called to Patrick and waved his
hand.
Good luck" exclaimed Patrick, as Dot
turned to walk down the wooden winding
stairway to the depot

but lines are not so sharply drawn now
as they were about Baltimore Conven-

word to use about some personal alli-
ances that have been formed
Just as SO many prominent Democrats
have been mentioned as candidates for
District Commissioner-Wnli v. Cox,
William Nick. Clayton, William s. Riley,

Democratic lawyers have been mentioned
for District Attorney. James Easby-

In this way.
For United States marshal, two names
have been especially prominent In gos-
sip-those OF Cotter Bride, who, IL is
said. would have the support of William
Jennings Bryan. and Of the Democratic
National Committeeman. Mr.. Costello.
Capt. Miller Suggested.
A notable bid is that which is being
made for the city postmastershIp by the
friends OF Capt. John Miller. In the
point Of loyalty. Capt Miller is pointed
out as one of the staIwarts, who. through
long years of adversely has stood firm.
and TO this his advocates add the claim
that he is in every way fit for the place,
about which there has been little gossip.
Henry +. Davis or Charles A. Douglas
as successor to Chief Justice Seth
Sheppard OH the Court of Appeals of the
District should Judge Sheppard retire, as
he is entitled to do. is an interesting
speculation. Judge Sheppard is himself
a Democrat.
Among the others mentioned are Ed
win a. Newman, former Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman for the District,
Killeen and p. T Moran. for collector of
the port Of Georgetown. and p. J. Haiti
gan. for Public Printer.
Most of the municipal judges terms
will expire during the Wilson administra-
tion. Judge William II. De I.acy's term
as Judge of the Juvenile Court has ex-
pired and he has not been reappoInted.

II Is said a strong effort will be made to
retain Corp. james Tanner. a Repub-
Hcan. In his office Of register Of wills.
The office of recorder Of deeds has been
regarded since the time Of Cleveland as
an effice belonging to the colOred MEM
bers of the party in power. Whether the
Democrats will place a colOTed person at
the head of this office Is much in doubt
at this time.
General belief Is that the Democrats Of
the District will demand a clean sweep of
offices and appointment OF Democrats TO
all the places. With this is an almost
equally strong belief that the next ad-
ministration will not greatly disappoint

DOING YOUR PART
IN FUN-MAKING
Every Girl Should Use Her Talents
at Informal Gatherings.

Stunt parties. as college students term
them. are not by any means restricted
to dormitOry and campus. In this age,
when the ability to amuse guests at a
house party or at an informal gathering
is thoroughly appreciated by the hostess,
every girl should be able to do her part.
There are always the popular girls who
can dash OFF the latest musical hits on
the piano or who can sing them. Fancy
dancing in the last few seasons has met
with enthusiastic favor at parties where
no special amusement has been provided
by the hostess. Those whose parents
were not far-seeing enough to insist
upon piano practice or who experienced
difficulty in keeping on the key and who
cannot dance gracefully must find SOME
other means by which to entertain. The
good old-fashiOned art of listening is not
difficult to cultivate, but it doesn't seem
quite SO much in demand as it used to be.
Humor Makes n Hit.
The girl who is clever and quick with
her hands and possesses an average
amount of humor may make a hit in her
social set as an amateur entertainer by
investing in a magical trick outfit. The
fascination OF being mysttfed obtains
quite as much with grown-dps as with
youngsters, and an accomplishment Of
this sort Is sure to be welcomed by the
hostess
Most girls go to a certain number Of
the seasons new plays, and II they have
any knack of initiating or impersonat-
ing can with a little study of the voice
and mannerisms of some favorite star
work up very presentable and amusing
performances. Sometimes a few stage
properties in the way of a characteristic
headdress or hat help the illusion.
Akin to this is the art of telling stories
or delivering monologues Both stunts,
however. are a little difficult to perform
well, but they are correspondingly well
rewarded II successful. A short mono
Iogue we'll done is quite irresistible, and
so is a clever story, suited to the listen
ers and told about the open fire or over
a tea table on a rainy day.
Clever with Pencil.
Sketching does not sound as if it had
parIor trick possibilities, yet the girl who
is clever with her pencil can turn 1t to
many uses. Good-natured caricatures are
amusing alike to the one caricatured and
every one else.
A certain New York girl who is always
attractive in a quiet way made herself
popular at a fashionable resort last sum-
mer by the ludricrous, though easily
recognizable, sketches she made Of all
her friends and acquaintances.
The point of all this is that IL you
would play your part in the general fun
and entertainment, where more than two
or three are gathered, you must unite
your little talent from the corner OF the
napkin and do what you can to make it
appear as attractive as possible.

The Gay life.

He hurried every morning to catch a
certain car;
He goes to work where hundreds of
other toilers are;
His oourse is never varied; he has no
time to stray;
The route that is the shortest he
takes day after day;
He works upon a schedule that
changes not at all
In winter or in summer in s~pringtime
or In fall.
He starts in every morning. just as
he did before,
To do a certain duty and W any
more;
He has his thirty minutes at noon
to rest and eat.
And when the day Is ended he hur-
ries to the street
To start his journey homeward, night
after night the same.
TANNED in with other people who do
not know his name.
He does not know his neighbors, to
them he is unknown;
Beyond his little orbit his face is
never shown;
He hurries every morning to catch a
certain car;
AT night he clings where other sad
faced straphangers are,
And wonders how the people exist
out on the farms,
Deprived OF social pleasures and all
the city's charms.
