RHODE ISLAND HAS
A FLOATING ISLAND

One of the celebrated freaks of ma
ture in Rhode Island is the floating
island in SCOTS pond, near Lonsdale.
Many persons have come far to see
it, reams of paper have been filed
with theories of its formation. and no
Rhode Island society with "Rhode
Island first for its motto. refrains
from visiting the historic pond and, if
possible, taking an imagined voyage
on the island. 1t is true that hun
dreds of visitors have wondered if the
mass of carthage moved, but they are
the dull sort of men and women who
would o believe that a houseboat
could travel. AS a matter of fact, the
floating island does float, as a little
news item in a recent Journal demon
ties. The Lonsdale company was
obliged to have it navigated away
rom its mill course the day before.
When the item was casually regarded
it seemed to say that the curiosity had
been "removed''-ominous word.
Too often remove means eliminate.
The Lonsdale company simply moved
1T, using horses, oxen and chains to
haul it to another position. The float
ing island, therefore, still exists-a

BAN WESTERN ATHLETICS.
Ann Arbor Votes to Discontinue the
 Western Conference.


 Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. By an overwhelming majority students. fac ulty and Ann Arbor alumni of the University of Michigan have voted against a resumption of athletic re- lations with the western intercolle- giate conference.
 The result of the balloting, which has been in progress the last three days, was announced tonight as fol lows:
 In favor of returning to the con ference 960, against 2,44S.
 A dispute has arisen as to the method of counting the votes cast by outside alumni Seventeen associa- tions, voting as associations, cast their ballots in favor of return, while nine associations voted no. Pro-con- ference men want the individual bal lots counted, while the antis insist only the vote by associations should be registered. Final action on the question is in the hands of the board of university regents which will meet November IA. What effect the vote just taken will have on their decision is problematical

New York. Nov. 5.-Under certain conditions David L. Fultz will receive a hearing before the National Con- mission as president of the Baseball Players Fraternity when the players demands for changes in contract terms are presented, according to President Lynch of the National league. Although Chairman Her mann of the commission some time ago declared Fultz as an outsider would not be received as the mems representative, President Lynch eX- pressed a different view tonight.
 The demands framed by Fultz 'n behalf of the fraternity are not un- fair, taking them as whole said Lynch, and believe everything can be adjusted satisfactorily if the fra ternity will send a committee of play CTS to confer with the commission If Fultz is a member of that committee I see no reason why he should not be heard. for, in a general discussion he players themselves will learn first hand what the commission is willing to do

Guard Your Children
 A9ainst Bowel :Troublo

May children at an early aEe become constipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con- 1ition, . ehild's bowels should be constantly watched, and gentle laxatiye given when necessary. Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity, s3I Charles St.. Luzerne, Pa.. who attend many cases of sickness say ot them:
 ~eoms time ago we began using pr. Miles Laxative Tablets and find that we like them very much. Their action is excellent and we are grateful TOT having been made acquainted wlth them. We have had good results m every case and the Sisters are ver1 much pleased"
 The form and flavor of any medi- cine is very important, no matter who is to take it. The taste ana 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 dltf1,, culty is overcome The shape or the tablets, their appearance ana candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection.
 The rich chocolate flavor ana absence of other taste, make pr: 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 2s doses costs only ls cents. Never sold in bulk. l MlLge MEDICAL CO.,, Elkhart. 'aA
