WHAT'S IN A NAME

Mr.. Hudson Maxim, in making an
appeal for larger army and navy,
is reported by the press as response
bic for the following:
"Any Of the great foreign nations
now at war will have available sew
eral million war-tried veterans for
a trial at arms with us. y
when the great war is over, which
ever side wins, there will be sure to
rise between the winners and our
selves complications to be adjusted"
Mr.. Maxim said. either Germany or
England would have navy far super
Tor to our own, and, consequently,
could not successfully be opposed by
our navy. Our enemy would be able
to land upon our shores at least
quarter of million men inside of
month, and after that continually
bring re-inforcements at the rate Of
100000 month, if they should hap
pen to be required. Our little poor
ly-equipped army would not be able
to offer resistance enough to make
ripple in the line of the enemy's adj
vance. Our army would be just about
one good days killing"
eff the enemy landed at either
New York or Boston," the speaker
said, "they would be able in two
weeks to capture the area in which
the great arsenals, navy yards and
munition factories of the country are
situated"
We do not know this Mr.. Maxim.
We have heard about the Maxim gun,
and recently our papers are widely adj
vertising stock of some Maxim NUM-
ton concern. AS to the statement
made, the language necessary to ex-
press our opinion of it would not look
well in print.--F. H. R., in "our

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 a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, SCI 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 flavor OF any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who Is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children arc 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 diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
eandy-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.
