Guard Your Children
 Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an esry age become eonstipated, and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con- dition, a childs bowels should be constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necsssary. IDr. Miles Laxative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children The Sisters of Christian Charity, S3I Charles St., cases of sickness say of them:
 Some time ago we began usine ps. Niles Laxative Tablets and find that we Ike them vsy much Their action fs excellent and we are grateful for having been made aeosaintsd with hery We have had good results in .=<-J case apa 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 10 give the average child medicine" even though the taste is partially dis guised. In using Dr. Niles Lax sfive Tablets. however, this difi- eulty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and eandy-Iiks tsste at once appeal to any child, with She result that they are taken without objection.
 The rich chocolate favor and absence of other taste, ma]se Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal ssmedy for children

the supreme court in the case OF the

/. To effect an assignment and
disposition Of shares Of capital stock

signor from the superadded liability
Of shareholders fixed by law he
must procure transfer of the stock
on the books OF the bank in accord
ance with the provisions OF the bank
ing act.
2. Such transfer is essential to
release from liability Of a share
holder who pells and assigns his

ing by him to the bank.

NEW TRAINS ABOUT JUNE FIRST
THIS Is Latttt Rumor Concerning
Union Pacific Plans.

While there have been many
rumors afloat concerning the REIN
statement of the two fast trains on
the Union Pacific, yet nothing defi-
mite has been given out. However,
1t now seems likely that they will
be installed about June 1. This IL
the information given by T. p. Car
ney, travelling passenger agent for
the Union Pacific.
If the reports are true the new
trains will not run on a much dif.
ferent schedule than they have 10
past summers. The night train VIII
have to wait at Kansas City until
the Wabash arrives. This is neces-
airy in order that they may have
through service from St. Louis.
According to Mr.. Carney, the only
possibility of a morning and evening
train is the plug which runs from
Junction City to Ellis.

WANT MARRIAGE LAW AMENDED
Probate Judges Unable to Keep the
Record of Marriages.

The probate judges will ask the
next legislature to amend the new
marriage law so that the probate
judges can keep record of all the
marriages in their respective coun-
ties. This was decided at the state
meeting Of the probate judges held
At Eniporfa. ~
The law, which went into force
short time ago, provides that min
listers, after signing the certificates
of marriage shall send them, not
to the probate judge who issued the
license, but to the registrar OF mar
riages at Topeka. In this way the
county records are rendered value
less and the prob'M Judge has no
method of detern g whether the
marriage ceremony has been per-
formed. The judges decided to keep
up their record books as best they
could until the next session Of the
legislature.
Probate Judge Tappen has been
issuing two licensess having one re-
turned to him and one to the state
registrar at Topeka.
