BathhOuSe at Riverside Park.

A free public bath house costing $1,000
will be erected on the island at River
side park this spring if the plans of the
city park board materialize. Six humid
red dollars has been received from the
Fannie P. Lewis park fund and $50 dol
lars has already been donated to the
fund without subscription. 1t is expect
ed that committee will raise the rest
of the amount by public subscription,
and that work on the erection cf the
new building will begin in the near
future. There will also be perhaps a
part of the city park fund of several
hundred dollars available for this build
ing.
The bath house will be situated on the
west end of the island which is said to
be ideal for the purpose. The riverbed
has sandy bottom at that place and a
safe slope, so that there will be very
little danger for children bathing there.
The building will be 40 feet by Is feet
and the highest part of the roof will be
80 feet. There will be fifteen DIR essing
rooms for the bathers, and store 70 on,
aud kitchen for picnickers. 1t will he

Dancer in a Dark Kitchen.

No man has a right to expect
woman to keep a sweet heart and a
cheerful mind and live in house
bare of comfort and beauty and work
in a dark kitchen. Too many farmers
when building a house never consult
their wives, take no thought of their
comfort or convenience, and leave the
kitchen the last thing to be consid-
cred if it is considered at all. And if
asked to spend money on decorating
the home would actually feel abused!
A woman's life in the country is
often necessarily lonely and she ought
to have the very sunniest, most pleas
ant rooms in the house for her sit
sing-room and kitchen. Most farm
wives spend two-thirds of their wax.
ing hours in the kitchen, and no mon
ey spent in making this place one of
convenience and comfort can ever be
wasted.

Six hundred shrubs and a number of

caretaker will be at the park and every

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constpated, 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 we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 53I Charles ST,
Iuzerne, 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
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 IS cents. Never sold in bulk.

Are Kicking Vigorously.

Down in Florida, the democrats
are kicking vigorously because the
new tariff proposes to reduce the
duties on citrus fruits to almost
free trade basis. They seem to
have forgotten, that is what they
voted for last fall and their party
is only carrying out its campaign
pledges and that they should suf-
fer with the rest of the country
whose interests will be effected,
possibly disastrouSly, by a radical
reduction OF the tariff. The same
objections which are raised by the
citrus growers in Florida can be
raised by the sugar producers IN
Louisiana, the wool growers in
Ohio, Colorado and other states.
1t would be special legislation to
protect one interest at the expense
of another interest just as deserv-
ing of protection. That the duties
were too high under the present
tariff, all will admit who are not
influenced by selhshness, and the
democrats in the south should not
become unduly excited if their
party gives them an object lesson
to bring them to their senses and
give them what their party has
been demanding for years radical
reduction of the tariff duties.

Wilson is also human" enough
to enjoy baseball.
Lobbyists swarm like locusts
about tariff time.
Presidential messages will be
short if personally delivered.
Politics is good game but a
mighty poor business.
Wisdom consists chiefly in the
judicious use of the blue pencil.
Perhaps congress intends to en-
force the distribution of sweetness
and light to consumers, the sugar
growers to furnish the sweetness
and the Standard Oil company the
light.
Say that man Wilson has way
with him. He makes Teddy look
like an amateur.
President Wilson, like many a
man before him, is learning the
difference between theorizing about
the tariff and trying to pass a bill
which will put the theories into
practice.

are after the mayor because he does
