KEEP THE CHILDREN BRIGHT AND HAPPY

Happy oi:ngtis must be hea!th. The digeti organs of children get out of order as readily as do the-e of their elders, am! tne r s,:;k is tquaUy distressing. When the bowels arc clogged with an accumulation of refuse from tho stomach tho child naturally 1 eoomes cross and fretful from the eiscomfcrt. and is often punished for temper when medical attention is really what is needed.
