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, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and 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..
Niles 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 diftl--
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.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of rs doses costs
only IS cents. Never sold in bulk.

Too Many Fire Agents.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 28.-That, a
multiplicity of agents is bad
for the fire insurance business
is the decision reached by the
annual convention of the Local
Fire Insurance Agents Associa-
ton of Arkansas. President
Guy E. Thompson Of Mariana
advanced the idea that the num-
Der of agents should be limited
in some simple but effective
manner by the Insurance Com
missioner or the Legislature. The
committee said:
1--WE believe with the persi-
dent, that multiplicity of agents
being one of the greatest evils
of the business, annexes and aux
iliaries make more agents and
by dilution, so to speak, weaken
the strength of the agency ele-
ment. We think with him the
Insurance Commissioners and
the Legislatures should elirnin-
ate either by Commissioners rul-
ings, or by statute, this impos-
sible progeny"

Now Is The Time to Get Rid O.
Those Ugly Spots.

There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed Of your freckles,
as the prescription othine-doubls
strength is guaranteed to remove
these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce Of othine- dou-
lie strength-from any druggist and
apply little Of it night and morn
ing and you should see that even the
worst freckles have begun to disap-
pear, while the lighter ones have van
ished entirely. It is seldom that more
than an ounce is needed to complete
ly clear the skin and gain beautiful
clear complexion.
Be sure and ask the druggist for
the double strength othine as this is
the prescription sold under guarantee
of money back if it fails to remove
freckles.
