Bread and Buttsr for Babies. There la no place in which bread and butter can be so beneficial or poisonous as in the nursery. The worst, thing you can. give a young baby under a year old is bread. But, later on, read becomes useful. It should never be given new to a child at any age, but stale bread or toast, or bread baked crisp is excellent for children. We really want more crisp foods now adays, and if this faet was taken to heart the next generation would suffer less from decayed teeth and weak digestion.

Constipation, if Neglected, Causes Serious Illness Constipation, if neglected, leads to almost innumerable complications affecting the general health.
luany cases or typhoid fever, appendicitis and other severe diseases are traceable to prolonged clogging of the tbowels. Regardthe effects of constipation, C., E. Ayers, 6 Sabin St., Montpelier, Vt., says: "I was afflict ed with constipation and biliousness for
years, and at times became so bad I would become unconscious. I have been found in that condition many times. Physicians did not seem to be able to do me any good. I would become weak and for days at a tin.e could do no work. Not long ago I Tot a box cf Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets, and after using them found I had never, tried anything that acted in such a mild and effective manner. I believe I have at last found the remedy that suits my case." Thousands of people are sufferers from habitual con&tipation and while possibly realizing something of the danger of this condition, yet -neglect too long to employ proper curative measures until serious ill"ness often results. The advice of all physicians is, "keep your bowels clean," arid it's good advice. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses.
