TO REVISE CHILD
LAWS OF MISSOURI
Commission Plans to Help AS
sembly on Legislation At
fecting Children.

fecting Children.
The Children's code commiss-
ion, appointed by Gov. Major in
1915, is planning to submit to
the next General Assembly a
complete revision of the Mis-
souri, laws relating to children.
The reports of the various sub
committees deal with laws re-
lating to defective children, de-
linquents, child labor, education,
health and recreation, and So
cial conditions. The drafting of
the proposed laws will largely be
done at the University of Mis-
souri,. Honorable Rhodes E.
Cave of st. Louis is chairman of
the commission, and Professor
Manley o. Hudson of the School
of Law of the University of
Missouri at Columbia is secre-
tary.
Professor Hudson is chairman
of the Committee on Public laws
of the Commission, and in MAX
ing his report he recommends
that laws recognizing illegiti-
macy of children be abolished /;
that illegitimate children be Civ
en- the same right of inheritance
and transmission as are given to
legitimate children, and that
the natural parents be made liza
bic for the support of the lille
gltimate child. 1t has been furth
er recommended that the adopt
ion of a child be made a court
proceeding, but that no child,
over II years old, should be a.
dopted without his consent.
The other committees of the
commission are likewise work.
ing on wise recommendations to
assist the General Assembly in
bringing about the needed
changes in our present laws re-
garding children. Missouri is
following the lead of Ohio in this
movement, which is fast becom-
ing general throughout the
country.

INDIANA MAN HAD
A DELICATE LIVER
Made Friends Think He Would Not Live, But Back-Draught Liver
Medicine Brought Him Safely Through.

Loogootee, Ind.-Mr. Anthony Will
son, Of this town, says: 81 raj born
with a delicate liver, which caused a
disordered stomach, and my growth
was affected by a ease Of malarial
fever. l spent considerable money for
treatments, but without any perma-
nent relief.
I commenced using ThedfOrd's
Black Draught at the age Of 10 and
continued until l was grown, and It
cured me, and l consider It a rapid
eure In a case like mine.

nsver live to be a man. but Thedto~d's

1t is foolish to think you can
gain a good clear complexion by
the use of face powder. Get at
the root of the trouble and
thoroughly cleanse the system
with a treatment of DR.. Kings
New Life Pills. Gentle and mild
in action, do not grippe, yet they
relieve the liver by their action
on the bowels. Good for young,
adults and aged. Go after a
clear complexion today. 25c at

Grow High Quality Apples.

Quality commands price in all
deartments of trade. The higher
the quality the greater is the
price, regardless of the condition
of the market. Recently the ap-
pie selling question has becom-
ing more difficult each year, and
the past season has been the
most unsatisfactory one to grow
ers for many years.
During May there were prac-
.tically twice as many apples in
cold storage as for the same pc
'riod the preceding year. Conse-
quently, prices are low on apples
of all grades.
On the larger markets, how
ever, high-grade western box APP
pies, packed according to known
and established standards, are
moving quite freely at prices
ranging from S1.75 to 2.25 a
box. The choicest middle west
stock in barrels is moving very
slowly at prices ranging from
half to two-thirds that of west
ern stock. There is almost no
sale for the ordinary so-called
standard" or "orchard-run'
pack of fruit, even at prices that
yield no profit to the producer.
Begin now to raise the stand

ap~ple-pack for 1916. F. w.

Mrs. Butler Talbot, 2107
Franklin Ave-, Lexington, says:
Disordered kidneys and inflama-
ton of the bladder gave me in
tense suffering for months. | had
trouble from the kideny secre-
tions and suffered from dull,
dragging backaches and pains
through my kidneys. l was
hardly able to work, and doctor
ing brought me no relief. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief from
the whole trouble"
ON A LATER DATE, Mrs.
Talbot said: 81 can still recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills high

has been permanent"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
