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

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. 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.
