Guard Your Children
 Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early aga become constipated. and frequently serious consequences result. Not being able to realize his own con- dition, 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 s3I Charles St., Luzerne, 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 ease and the Sisters are very much pleased"
 The form and flavor of any rnedl- 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 1t IS to give the average child medicine, even though the taste is partially dis gmsed. In using Dr. Miles Lax ative Tablets, however, this diff culty is overcome The shape of she tablets, their appearance and candy-l,ae taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection
 The rich chocolSe flavor and absence of other taste. make Dr. Niles Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children.

 As 8 special favor to me and MT. Gap, want you to give notice that the next house par ty that starts to Bolyne had bet ter go somewhere else. There are only 8 few scrawny bullets left, that never will stop running away long enough to get to frying size, and the young tur- keys are plumb discouraged and won't amount to nothing. There aint a potato left in the garden, and not much of anything else. The calves will just have to have a little milk now, and Pol ly and the other horses need rest.

 Then take it among my own people; Eliza would have one of those skirts that you can see through. That would have been all right if she had have been satisfied to have only worn it to the store and other social gatherings, but she would wear it to church, and the parson is so old fashioned.
 This is quiet neighborhood and not given to going about much but the women folks are just sure to try to make all the clothes that they see the white folks wear. Sometimes they don't quite get the ideas anc the effects are striking to say the least. Even the parson saiC it was demoralizing.
 Then, too, the white men folks in the neighborhood are al :. complaining. Every moment that they are in the house the women folks have them, ano they are going, "One, two, three hesitate" and other foolishness until they just hate to go home land spend most of their time at the store.

FLEE FROM FLAMES
Family Of c. L. Mason Has Narrow
Escape When Their Home Is
DESTROYED BY Fire

A horrible tragedy was narrowly
avcrted early Tuesday morning at
che home Of c. H. Mason, who re-
sides about four miles west OF Ger
rardstown. when the home and all
Of It's contents wcre destroyed by
fire. At o'clock the family was
awakened by the smoke, and found
the homo almost entirely wrapped
in flames from an unknown origin.
Mr.. Mason leapcd from his bed
and shouted to his wife and four
a child in one arm and leading an
other he rushed out OF the burning
building. He was followed by Mrs.
Mason, carrying small child, while
an elder one cared for itself. Az
Mrs. Mason was leaving the house
she was almost overcome by the
Two OF the children sustained bad
fumes OF the flames and was badly
burncG about the face and hands.
burns on their bodies.
When the family left the building
they found themselves in most SER
iCrls predicament Their home was
wrapped in flames and the fire had
assumed spectacular proportions
with vast pillar Of fame whipped
into roaring struggling, seething
mass formed by the strong wind OK
tending obliqucly into the heavens.
The night was bitter cold, tho
thermometer playing around the
zero mark made their condition
and children had barely escaped In
their night clothes with their lives.
and with all their belongings
rapidly falling prey to the hungry
flames they scarcely knew what next
to do or how to save themselves
from freezing.
The nearest home was more than
a mile away, and it. was Impossible
to arouse any Of the nelghbors and
tell them OF their plight. The only
thing left was to walk to the home
OF William Mason. This they were
compelled to do and with the four
little children. all barefO0ted. bare
headed and with scarcely no clothing
they made tho journey. The trip
proved an awful task at this hour
under such conditions, but the brave
little party walking over the frozen
ground IN their bare feet leaving
blood prints behind and the children
crying from the extreme cold and
the mother almost exhausted by
the sudden shock and the severe ex-
p0suro they journeyed to the home.
Upon arriving there and re
lating the occurrence all we're cared
for. given clothing and their condf-
tons made as pleasant as possible.
Mrs. Mason's condition Is most
snrious, and medical attention was
rrrcsgarv. 1t IS thought the chill
NYen will soon recover After
short rest Mr.. Mason and friends
returned to the home, and found IT
p a:noudoring mass Of ruins. Moth
jDe wac saved, and az there was no
insurance on the building or contents
the loss IS total one.
Much sympathy IS expressed TOT
the stricken family. but they Will be
cared for by the neighbors until an"
other home can be secured.
