Somebody could have prevented this
war as well as many others. There
is the matter Of getting even and
showing the other fellow just what
can be done, which is responsible for
much of the trouble.
None Of US would start war. But
it is not merely the war of nations
with guns and powder that does harm,
but the petty wars that go about US
all the time which cause torments,
woes and shedding of tears. The
petty jealousies and magnification of
small acts, the useless repetition of
gossip is warfare on as brutal and as
relentless scale as the average indi-
viduaT knows.
The most peculiar aspect of this
kind Of war is the fact that the per-
son who has done you an injury, al
though you forgive and forget him,
cannot be good, cannot put them
selves into neutral state again.
There is a terrible consequence fol-
lowing every unjust and base attack
upon goo dperson Not the one to
whom the deed is done against, but
to the doer is there a continually
arising reminder; and this feeling,
which grows in the wrongdoers
breast, reaches the state Of desiring
destruction on the person who has
been injured, although they may have
forgotten the insult.
The aggravator, wrong in his pri-
mary assault, does not scruple to per
jure, to SANDER, to assassinate char
acter, to place mines in the way of
some social or civic aspiration. Any
thing to give the appearance Of being
right in the first dastardly invasion.
Nothing is so loathsome as the OBJ
ject of ones wrath and the continu-
ally arising and condemning thoughts
Of having done an injustice.
The finest thing communities could
do would be to form triple alliances
and triple ententes to stop these
petty, nagging, guerilla warfares on
people pure of mind and ambitions.
There are higher things than

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 gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 53I 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 case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor 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
ative 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.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of IS doses costs
only rs cents. Never sold in bulk.
