Devastating Eel worm Eound Again 'SCIENTIFIC SKETCHES N HUMAN PROGRESS The conflict between Evolution and the Bible has been sharp Nevertheless, unnecessary friction has been generated Only In respect to man does the Bible declare a special, direct creation o f God. The statements of Genesis In respect to the lower creatures rather favor something along the lines of spe cialized Erolutlon. God said. “ I.et the waters bring forth abuu dantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the Earth." (Genesis 1:20. 21.i This is exactly In harmony with our scientific findings that the beginning or life came from the waters, and later extended to the birds, and later to land animals rscaojoc - ---------- 1 J 2JOOOCCC SAVE TH IS COUPON.

The devas tating eel worm, or, to give it its scientific name, the Tylenchug de- v a.-tat fix, lias U rn found again in the Pacific Northwest several hun dred miles from the iioint where it was discovered in 1913. This tiny threadlike organism is u member o f the great family o f nematodes and is remarkably destructive to many forms o f bulbous plants. Commercially, itachief importance is due to its ravages in onion fields, but it also feeds to a great extent upon flowering bulbs such as hyacinths and upon such crops as rye, oats, hemp, potatoes, strawberries, etc. Hitherto, the United States appears to have been practically free from it, but the new infestation in the North west following u|xm that o f two years ago indicates the existence o f danger that it may establish itself hire.

Not being able to realize his own con dition, a child’s bowels should he constantly watched, and a gentle laxative given when necessary. Dr. Miles’ I.axative Tablets are especially well adapted to women and children. The Sisters of Christian Charity. 531 Charles St., Luzerne, Pa., who attend many cases Of sickness say of them: ''Some time ago we began using Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets anil flml that we like them very munh. Their notion la excellent and we are grataful for having been made acquainted with them. Wo have had good result* In every case nnd tho Slstera are very much pleaaed.’’ The form and flavor of any medi cine is very important, no 'matter who is to take it. The taste and appearance arc especially important when children are concerned. All parents know how hard it is to give the average child "medicine,” even though the taste is partially dis guised. In using Dr. Miles’ Lax ative Tablets, however, this diffi culty is overcome. The shape of the tablets, their appearance and candy-like taste at once appeal to any child, with the result that they are taken without objection. The rich chocolate flavor and absence of other taste, make Dr. Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal remedy for children. » If the first box fails to benefit, the price is returned. Ask your druggist. A box of 25 doses costs only 25 cents. Never sold in bulk. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
