No1u Are the Days

Little Ones if Bowels
Are Neglected

A mother can not do better for her
child than to train it from early infancy
to regular habits, not only as a pre-
ventive against much of the illness to
which children are more or less subject,
but also to insure their health in later
life.
Normal activity Of the bowels is the
basis of sound health. This is especial
ly true with children in hot weather.
Do not neglect any tendency they may
show to constipation, but promptly adj
minister gentle laxative, that will
carry off the congested waste without
shocking the system.
An excellent remedy for this purpose
is the combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known as DR.. Cald-

! Forty-one and one-half mills, esti-
mated to produce about $4,000 of tax
money, was levied by the city council
at it's meeting Monday afternoon for its
/ budget for 1915. The levy is five mills
higher than the levy made by the coun-
Gil in 1914. and ATS mills higher than
the 1913 levy. A variety of ca uses have
increased the levy.
One Of the most important is the real
ization by the council that there is 4
strong public demand for civic mi
provements and the building of a better
city. The council has lisetned TO this
demand and levied the tax to pay for it.
