WHAT IS
LAX-fOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCAHA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND UVER TONIC
Laz-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi
cine but is composed of the following
old-fashioned toots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredi
ents making it better than ordinary Cas-
! CARA.and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Laz-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
Lax-Fo3 is invaluable for Constipation,

Read at the Parent-Teacher's Meet
ing Friday afternoon by Mrs. IL B.
Uedwiae.
Best results can be obtained in
i-chool only by obiditnce. systematic
work end ambition to measure equal
to tr eupeiior to any ether in the
c'.ass. 1 si:.-. 11 therefore tndt-avor to
point out in a brief way the posi
tion a parent should take with refer
ence to the child's work and the
toucher. Obedience id absolutely
n- ressa-y, and if required at heme,
fcm! the child ? tLorc'jjrhly taucht
t'..t the s. n.e duty Is duo the teacher
a-- 'a due the ptrtnt. and never
t:i':e sii!.jr. ura'iist the lfnchtT thon
th:s retuire:n ni fcns been mot. Kihtj
tu'c tiu-uvb I v. ir.t to say I do n;t
l.eiicve li blird obedience. I. think it
i? due ts a fluid, by both parent and i
te t her, to explain fully just wha !
should be done, r.nd as far as reason
able, why these things are required.
I do not suppose you v. ill find la eith
er prammar or hi.ih school two chil
dren just alike, so it requires dif
ferent ways and means of brinpir.pl
about as nearly as possible perfect j
obedience. I most earni!y believe I
that to obtain the best results from)
0. tr children, we as parents have to
be very careful and discreet In carry
ing out our promises. A parent or
teacher is very much mistaken if they
think they can deceive a child e
pwinlly a Ley. They are always
watching t3 Fee if you do as you have
said. If you fail, you may expect
them to do likewise. So it appears
to ine to co-operate with teachers,
we must be very busy at home, teach
ing all the time obedience. It is a
work divinely authorized and direct
ed, and if we fail in this, we fail la
one of the most important obligations
t f a parent.
Next to obedience, in my judg
ment, ccmes system. As I see it, it
is our duty to provide a time and
place for ou.' children to prepare their
lessons for e?ch day. At my home,
we have study hours strictly from
seven to ten not so late as ten if
work can he finished earlier. Dur
ing tlr.it time, there should be no In
tel uption, and should there be
which is often the case quiet should
be Immediately restored.
A.ll books should be brovght home
every night so parents can sea them
1. r.d know just what the child is do
I;1?. and certainly after seeing and
knowing all thl.-s. Jc will 2ot be neces
sary to call the teacher to know why
children r.re not on the honor roll.
If his r.ai'ie is not there, it is more
like!;.- the fault of parent or child
tnan the teacher.
The teacher can accomplish very
little for your child ir mine, without
required obedience and system iu our
homes.
If a wrong" Is suspected or reported
by the child to the parent, preat
prudence and care should be observ
ed until a full and lair Investigation
13 made; but In my judgment, where
ever the fault may be, never let the
child know his or her part ha3 bven
taken. Take it up kindly with your
teacher, and matters can be adjusted
without the knowledge of the child
certainly I am in favor cf n lull
hearing of both sides. I believe It
Is Lod Bacon who said, "It is folly
and shame to declde a matter until
you have heard both sides."
Deportment comes as a very im
portant item In the grades. Children
who behave in school Umost al
ways get high prades. Why? Be
cause they spend their time studying.
Below ninety should be considered
terrible cn deportment.
Playing ball and going.to too many
parties also often have very demor
alizing effects on grades, honor roll
and pomotion. Now. I do not want
to be misunderstood here. Certainly
I do not believe In nil work and no
play. Children have to play and
have a good time, but there Is a limit
to all good things. A game of ball
on Friday and Wednesday afternoon
Is helpful, but let the party be not
otherwise than cn Friday ni?ht. A
boy or firl who plays ball every af
ternoon li too tired to do full jus
tice to r.ii or he r evening study hour,
and most likely goes to school next
day und worries his teacher by i-yl'f-lrenco

strong, tvoi'iros the most hearty c-
operation with ftv.chers. Outside ol
our licims, it is the teacher who

Therefor.', our attitude to the feath
ers of n:r children eau not be treat

Certainly we :tiu."t help th.-ni in thel

The Old Woman Didn't (iet In.
(Waxhaw Enterpilse.)
The story is told on two physicians,
well known, here, that a few years
ago when an old negress of the low-1
er part of the township applied for
county aid or admission into the
county home on account of blindness,
these two doctors were requested by
the commissioners to go examine h?rj
and report upon her deserts in the,
matter. The doctors had completed :
the examination and had determined
tha she was blind and a proper ob
ject of county aid. They had decid
ed to recommend her admission In
to the county home. One of them
said to the other. "Well. Doc, it's
about 12 o'clock; we had better start
home." The eld woman then point
ed to a craek in the floor and said
that the eun had to get to that erack
before it was dinner time; and Dr.
B. then raid. "Dar now!" The old
woman did not ret into the county 1
home.
