1t Is the experience Of calomel users

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-
dtion, a child'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, s5I Charles ST.,
Luzcrne, 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
pauch 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
gulsed. 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.
If the first box fails to benefit.
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of IS doses costs
ciHy "a cents. Never sold in bulk.

SINGLE FARM EXHIBITS
At MISSISSIPPI FAIR

The management is taking great
deal OF interest this year in encouraging
the SINGLE FARM EXHIBIT. This is
tn enable every farmer in the state who
is progressive and who does not receive
the co operation in his own section that
he should to bring his exhibit to jackson
and compete with the Others, even
though he may be the only exhibitor
from his county. The Berryhill exhibit
which carried away the first premium
for single farm exhibits last year, is al
example Of the value of contributions OF
this kind Mr.. Berryhill did not walk
away with the prize SO easily, however
as there was close competition from ota-
er quarters. The single farm exhibit IN
1912 attracted lot of attention AMI
the contestants were highly regarded
by all OF the people. Farmers should
first attempt to get their county OF
community to send big exhibit to the
fair, but in failing to receive the de-
81; ed support. they should bring along
the best they have anyway.
Interest of the farmers from all parts
Of the state this year will undoubtedly
have an influence of no small measure
on the legislature who will be asked at
the next session to make an appropria
ton to all each Of the sarenty-nne coun
ties of the state to be represented at
the fair. 1t is only matter OF time
W hen this will be accomplished. In
the meantime the progressive farmers
in each Community will benefit them
selves and their neiehbcrs at the same
time by identifying themselves with ev'
G y movement pertaining TO the state
Fir.

CORRESPONDENCE
Pleased With Their Teachers.

Pleased With Their Teachers.
At meeting of the Board of Trustees
of the Bossier City School (Thirteenth
District) held on the 7th, at which
Messrs. Eatman, Coleman, woodward
and Young were present, Miss Bessie
Gilmer of Shreveport was again en-
ployed to fill her former position, Miss
Tommie McCranie of Plain Dealing en-
ployed as first assistant teacher for the
coming term, and the following pream-
BILE and resolution passed:
Whereas, Prof. L. S. Bolin, employed
as Principal of our school during the
past term, has benefited the same ma
terially by his commendable and schol-
arly intellectual attainment and discreet
discipline and brought erudition above
the average of his predecessor, and,
Whereas, prior to his advent in our
midst our school grounds were barren
common, practically devoid of verdure
and without enclosure, and,
Whereas, he has enclosed the grounds
with a suitable fence and endowed the
same with very appropriate shrubbery
and verdure, now, therefore
Be it resolved, That the thanks of the
board is due and hereby extended to him
and that this token of appreciation be
spread upon our minutes and copy de-
livered to him; and we regret to learn
of his early departure. The best wishes
of the board go with him.

Rapid Rise.

The rapid rise of the Tyler CONNER
cial College of Tyler, Texas, in public
favor is shown by the tremendous num-
Der of students enrolling from over half
the states in the Union. Graduates of
this famous institution holding good
salaried positions are receiving enor-
nous dividends on the money they paid
out only few months ago for their
practical education. Buy scholarship
for a course of Bookkeeping, Business
Training, Shorthand, Typewriting or
Telegraphy in this institution. 1t will
prove the best investment of your life.
There is absolutely no speculation in
buying a scholarship for one or more
of these courses. They are worth over
100 cents on the dollar. The valuable
knowledge obtained while in this prac-
tical school will be used throughout life.
Shrewd, far-sighted business men are
desiring T. c. G. graduates for their
Offices. They realize their training is
modern and thorough.
The famous Byrne Simplified Short
hand, which we teach, is as simple as
A, B, c, and complete from A to 2. 1t
meets the needs for rapid work with
speed to spare. 1t fits into any business
as though it we're made to order. There
is nothing but can be written readily
and read with ease with the Byrne Sim
plified. 1t has overturned all shorthand
traditions and precedents, broken all
records in the shorthand borld-set up a
new standard of results.
The Byrne Practical Bookkeeping and
Business Training is equally superior to
other systems as is the shorthand. Keep
your eye on the Famous Byrne Simpli-
fed Shorthand and Practical Bookkeep-
ing until you master thorough course
It does not cost as much to get these
modern, practical systems in a schoo
with a worldwide reputation as it doe;
to get inferior systems in other schools
Write for our beautifully illustrated
catalogue, containing convincing fact
of the superiority of the systems ant
methods used in qualifying our students
for the best positions and Of placing ou
graduates in them. Our Telegraphy De
partment is the only one in this Stat
that teaches Station Work by means o
