look after the welfare of children of
their particular religious beliefs
when they are placed out in homes.
Mr.. Silzer had State Commissioner

outcome of the meeting was a deci-
sion to have Mr.. Lewis prepare a
tentative plan of cooperation. The
governor told his conferees that at
the present time the state has as
wards over 5000 children under the
supervision of the Board of Chill
dren's Guardians.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for IL years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
let's. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.

suits from or two of DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.

to keep right. Try them. 15c and 30c.

SWIMMING AND DIVING.

"Oh! A race. A race" squealed lit
tie Silkie Bear as her father swept
through the water behind Cuffy.
It'll be a short one" Mr.. Bear
called out grimly. He was in anything
but pleasant mood. Cuffy had made
a joke about him. And then that
he was called.
Now, Ephraim!" cried Mrs. Bear
anxiously Remember we've come to
the lake to have a good time! Cuffy
was only joking. He didn't mean any
harm"
Mr.. Bears only answer was a, snort.
He continued to swim after his son.
And presently a. look of amazement
came over his face. The gap between
him and Cuffy was steadily growing
wider.
Mr. Bear was not the only one that
noticed this surprising fact.
oh. Oh! Fathers swimming back
wards" Silkie cried out.
OF course he wasn't. But it seemed
so to little silkie.
Hush! Hush. child" said her
mother. Mrs. Bear knew what the
trouble was. 1t was this: Cuffy Bear
could swim faster than his father!
"Ephraim won't like that at all"
thought Mrs. Bear. And he talked
so much about his swimming. on the
way to the lake, Dear me. I'm afraid
our outing will he spoiled"
But it wasn't. Mr.. Bear soon turned
around and came padding back. To
his wifs's surprise, he was smiling
broadly.
I've played a little trick on that
youngster," he chuekled. He thinks
I'm still racing him across the lake
He doesn't know I've turned back.
and that was only fooling, anyhow"
All. Then you weren't really try
ing to catch him ?" said Mrs Bear.
Pooh! Pooh! Certainly not" said
Mr.. Bear. Why. hadn't started TO
swim"
But Mrs. Bear noticed, for all that.
that he was blowing hard. However,
she said nothing. If he didn't know
that Cuffy had beaten him. she Ger
tainly wasn't going TO tell him.
1t wasn't long before Cuffy too

ly, nevertheless. 'Vot you goin' do

"A Good Idea"
There's no chance of that" I said
with an assured air which ! hoped
would quiet her fears, but did not
tell her that concealed in my dress

ity. ..
1t was long past twilight, almost
pitch dark In fact, when hopelessly
plodding back to the house by diff
ferent route than that which we had

at a shout. and using our fiashlight

against a big tree.
