1t Is second nature to the child to neg

traced back to this neglect and to con-
stipation.
they have a regular time for going every
day, and IL you and that they. are neg
lecting it or they keep. insisting that
they don't have to go, then 1t is your
duty to help them and Nature by giving
an Mr. Tablet when they go to bed at
night. It will not grippe or cause trouble
during the night, but in the morning
they will feel fine. Do this every night
for a couple of weeks and the morning
habit will be established.
This will keep your children in good
health and free from sickness and

get together, subordinate what he
termed their petty differences and
work for the election Of the national

both branches OF congress.
The success of the party at the

in a great degree upon a cessation Of
chickering's" between republicans and
former progressives and between vari-
GUS local factions of republicans.
Mr.. Hughes, who came here today
from Bridgehampton, had long talk
with Mayor Thompson of Chicago
and other political leaders from
illinois over the situation in that
state.
Mr.. Hughes will meet at luncheon
tomorrow the members of his cam
paign committee and a committee of
five republican senator's, who will have
in charge the republican national sena-
torial campaign. Members of the re-
publican congressional committee also
have been invited.
Mr.. Hughes held a long conference
today with Chairman Wilcox, in
which the chief topics of discussion,
it is understood, were the adjustment
of local differences and the program

The American State bank of Omaha
will open for business at 1851 Fafnam
street about Augustl, permission bs-
ing granted yesterday by the state
banking board at Lincoln. -a'
The new institution buys the 5000
guaranty fund Of the old German

sorbed by the City National bank, and
with it secures the charter. The capi-
tai stock is 100000. Officers are:
President, NJ. F.. Shafer; vice presi-
dent, ]. r. Hecox; cashier, L. M.
Swindler.
Application was made originally in
the name of the Commercial State
bank, but the new name OF American
has since been chosen.
Nebraska's bank guaranty law con-
tains on provision for the return of
any state banks share in the fund
on liquidation or disposal, and the
money has been lying idle since the
German American bank went out of
business year and half ago. The
new bank made its deal with DR..
Baker, former president Of the Ger
man-American, and other stockhold-
ers of that institution, with the con-
sent OF the state banking board.
