Farm Life Is An Ideal Existence

Edison is philosopher as well as in
ventor, and he leaves a trail of wis
dom. He looked around the world and
said. at is undeniable that the great
quest of humanity is happiness" and
then he showed that man is not happy
because NEARLY everybody wants
something he hasn't got" He ris-
cussed the whole state of humankind
and concluded:
what do | consider the nearest APP
Proclamation to happiness of which
present human nature is capable"
Why, living on a farm. which is ones
own. far from the hectic artificial con-.
ditions of cities-a farm where one
gets directly from ones own soil what
den in front, and healthy, normal
nestle joys which relieve man from
business train"
Edison ought to be a farmer. He
has a farmers sense in this:
"Pm constantly having applications
from fond parents who want to start
their sons in my laboratory. I usually
try them by giving them some com
mon manual task, and if they balk at
it | size them up"
1t is the common manual task that
drives so many from the farms, but 10
and behold! here we have it at the
very beginning of possible success in
the worlds greatest laboratory. SO
it is in every other field. And really
the delight of the farm is in finding
that its common manual tasks are
manlier and healthier than those Of
nine of w worlds employ
ments. Naturally young people do
not always think so. but if they stick
to their work long enough the knowl-
edre comes to them. In American
cities today there are literally hun
dreds of thousands of men and women
on slender and uncertain incomes who
wish they had never left their homes
in the country.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result Not

dition, 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, 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 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 diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candylike 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, mike Dr.
Niles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.

Hooks BIG Hoax.

Hoaxers exist In every profession and
walk Of life. They flourish in every
age and cline. They ply their art Ell
ther as a means Of livelihood or from
the sole desire to gull the credulous
public. 1t was the latter which melted
that prince Of practical jokers, Theo-
dors Hook, to perpetrate the most au-
dacious Of all hoaxes, the Berners street
hoax, that for the time aroused all
London to laughter and indignation.
Hook bet a guinea that q certain mod
est dwelling in quiet thoroughfare
leading out Of Oxford street would be-
come the most notorious house in town
and set about winning his wager by
addressing over thousand letters, con-
tanning orders to tradesmen, with the
request that they would at certain
hour on a certain day deliver their
goods at a certain house In Berners
street. Besides the unfortunate shop
keepers, who suffered much loss
through damage to their goods, others
were included in the fun. The lord
mayor, the lord chief justice, the arch
bishop Of Canterbury and the COM
mander in chief were among the many
victims that fell into the trap and,
duly arriving at the appointed spot, ex.
perienced most unceremonious treat

fair progress. One day Garrison asked
him how he was getting along at the
game.
"Oh, just fairw the man replied sad
ly. 1--WE already lost three balls"
The same man went out to golf one
afternoon and became so impatient
with himself for his mediocre playing
that he picked up one of his clubs and
almost started to break 1t across his
knee to show his disgust; then he tried
again and controlled his temper fairly
we'll until he made another especially
poor stroke. Once more he started to
break up one or more Of his clubs, but
exerted his will power and held HIM
self back as he exclaimed:
