Barns and Horses Burned.

Monday afternoon. two barns on the
premises of Fred Jannsen, 153. North
Second street, including two horses were
destroyed by fire. The fire started at
about 2:25 o'clock and is supposed to
have been Occasioned by sparks from a
threshing outfit which passed by the
barns a few minutes before the fire was
discovered. The fire alarm was given
and the fire department responded, but
could render no efficient service because
of want of water. there being no hydrant
near. The loss is partially covered by
insurance.

came to this city from Spring Green,
thinking that he was tired of life, took
ten grains of strychnine Friday evening
with suicidal intent. When the poison
began to get active, he changed his
mind and concluded that this life wasn't
so bad after all, and rushed to the office
of DR.. I. +. Shinnick who applied the
stomach pump and relieved him of the
poison. He will try and live, keep stiff
upper lip and let the old world wag on

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-
dltlon, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DIR. 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..
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 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
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 flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
