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, 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, SCI Charles St,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
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.

SOFT SHELL CRABS.
They Don't Remain Soft Very Long
After the Shading.


They Don't Remain Soft Very Long
After the Shedding.
The supply OF soft crabs for market
Is obtained by catching hard crabs and
keeping them until they shed their
shells.
For this purpose large rectangular
floats, made of laths and plankinA
are employed, and three or four times
every day the stock on hand is care
fully inspected, all the soft crabs being
picked out and packed without delay.
They are put into shallow boxes of
moist seaweed, from ten to thirty five
dozen In a box, according to the size
of the animals.
When the packing is done carefully
the occupants may be kept alive from
sixty to seventy hours after leaving
the water.
Crabs have been shipped all the way
from the Chesapeake to Canada, arriv-
ing at their destination In good condi-
ton. In summer. of course, Ice is
used.
But where soft crabs are concerned
1t is necessary that they shall reach
the market quickly, because their new
shells harden with great rapldity.
At the end of twelve hours the shells
are like parchment, and in three or
four days the crab is as hard as ever
hence unfit for use in the form most
highly approved by eplcures.-New

METE0RIc SHOWERS.
Why They Have Little or No Effect
Upon the Earth's Balance.

Upon the Earth's Balance.
In answer to the query. THE earth
is held in its orbit by the absolute bal
ance Of centripetal and centrifugal
forces. and if the balance were dis
turbed the earth should fly away into
space or fall to the sun. yet this bal
ance is continually disturbed by me-
teors and other causes and no catas-
trophe occurs: please explain" Edgar
Lucien Larkin. in the New York Amer
lean. says:
There is no centrifugal force as such
in nature. What so appears is reaction
against gravity due to the motion OF
the earth. Inertia. an inherent prop
erty Of all matter. would forever main
tain a moving body in an absolutely
straight line in its original direction
unless some outside force draws 1t
aside The direction OF drawing aside
is always toward the outside disturbing
mass--the sun in this case And the
earth thus continually falls from
straight line-a tangent-to its orbit
through a distance of one-ninth of an
inch during each second.
IF gravitation should suddenly be
annihilated the earth would fly away
on a straight line into space. But
should a trillion tons OF meteors sud
denly fall on the earth it would not fall
to the sun. but would still revolve
around it much faster on a smaller
orbit. The year would be shorter. And
the new orbit assumed would be deter
mined in space by the equilibrium Of
central gravitation and the reaction OF
inertia OF the earth against It. But

CLUB MAY SUPPORT
THE PENSION BILL
G. G. Committee on Educa-
ton Favors Pensions for
Veteran Instructors.

The educational committee of the
Commercial club held meeting at the
club rooms this afternoon and dis
cussed several matters relative to edu-
cational interests of this city Their
report will be submitted to the direct
ors of the club tonight.
The members of the committee
We're unanimously in favor of the
Teachers Pension bill which is now
pending before the state legislature
Yheir favorable attitude relative to the
bill will be discussed by the directors
of the club and it is probable that the
club will be asked to use its influence
as body to promote the interests of
the bill. There are twenty-five
teachers in this city who will be af-
tected by the bill 1t provides that a
pension be awarded to all teachers in
pubic schools of municipalities OF over
10000 who have taught for a period of
over twenty-five consecutive years.
The bill, if passed, will regulate the
amount of the pension, according to
the length of time over twenty-five
years the teachers have been en-
ployed. All teachers who have taught
for forty years will necessarily have to
be placed on the pension lis; There
are four teachers in this city who have
taught for forty years. 1t is believed
that some teachers are incapable of
teaching after they have taught for a
specified length of time and the
school authorities neglect to dismiss
them because they realize they are
dependent on their positions In this
manner the school children are handi-
capped by incompetent teachers The
school authorities have the privilege
of retiring a teacher after twenty-five
years of service though the retire
ment is not compulsory on the part
of teachers unless they are so re-
quested by the local board Of educa-
ton.
