A laxative today saves a sick child

take the time from play to empty their

heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other childrens ailment, give a
teaspoonful of California Syrup of

perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor

You don't want slow remedy when

Is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; its harmless

regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions of cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get large

which doesn't agree with them; If
what they eat lays like lead, ferments

Must Report on Income Tax.

port whether blank is sent him or
not. Collector of Internal Revenge e.
B. Craig states that many persons in
the state are laboring under the i'm
preston that if an income tax blank
is not sent them they would not be re.
CURED to make report on their in
comes. This is big mistake" said
the collector. "If these persons are
not sent blanks they must provide
themselves with them and send in
their reports according to the law"
Although those subject to the tax have

Not Liable for Prisoners Board.

In response to a request from State

Attorney w. H. Swiggart has rendered
an opinion on the question of whether
the state is liable to the several coun.
ties for the board bills of prisoners
convicted of the commission of fel.
ony, but whose sentence was fixed by
the jury at term in the county work.
house. He says: II hold that after a
prisoner is sentenced to term in the
workhouse he is not states prisoner
within the meaning of the statute, and
for this reason the act of 1891, chapter
1913, section II, is not applicable. By
the term states prisoner l under
stand is meant prisoner properly UNI
der the custody of the officers for the
state at large, one whose punishment
is fixed at term in the state peniten-
tiary. So far as this question is con-
cerned, find no authority for making
a distinction between prisoners sen.
fenced to be confined in the county
Jail for felonies and those so sentenced
for the commission of misdemeanors.'

More Uses for Newsnanera.

M. Jean Henri Fabre, the greatest
living entomologist, maintains that
journalism, rightly applied, may help
people to keep their clothes in good
condition. He has discovered that
newspapers afford far more trust
worthy protection against the ravages
Of moths than any Of the old fash
Toned preservatives such as camphor.
M. Fabre advises housewives to pack
any garments about to be stored away
in newspapers, joining the edges with
a double fold. If the joining is care
fully effected and well pinned moths
will never work their way inside.
