HABITUAL CONSTIPATION.

HOW TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PERMANENT
CURE.
Some occupations of life predispose to Costveness es
peciay those which allow but little exercise Persons
who contract this unfortunate habit of body under such
circumstances might possibly be relieved by changing
their ssdentary enploymens for others Of more active
kind; but this is by no certain Habitual consd
patton very obstinate disorder. All the ordinary 30.
called remedies invariably sggrayae it Nothing can be
more injurious than the continued use of strong
apeients. They at first rtate and finally almost para
lyze the bowelsrendering them 30 torpid that enor-
NOUS doses of cahartc medicines have no effect upon
them mild aperient, combined with gentle stmu-
liant is the true remedy; and combination In the hap
iest proportion Of these Ingredients is found In HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERs. This famous
stomachic inyigorates the whole intestinal canal while
quietly removing from Ms convoluHons all impedments
to free passage through them. No mere purgave has
this double operation No ordinary smulant effects the
desired object. Cases of Constipation abandoned as
hopeless by distinguished medical men have been cured
in few weeks by the Btters TO those who have tried
all the medicines of the dispensary in vain, We say try
this irresistible smulant and aperent There is no
sufficient reason why Constipation should te the conse-
ouence of sedentary habits. HosTETTERs BIrTERs,
BY supplying the vigor which would otherwise be de-
rived om exercise will In all cases enable the system to
perform its excretory functions regularly and health
fully. February IL

THE BURNT DIsTRTCT.-This unfortunate Dlot
on the community he's been 80 often alluded, to
that the subject is nearly threadbare, and but for
the shelter it affords to scoundrels Of every stamp
would not be again commented upon. We have
been told that those whoHe deeds are evil love not
the light, and it is on this account, we presume,
that they nhabit thissecton, for darker spot so
cially and morally, it would be difficult to find.
That portion Of this district that is intersected
by Meeting street is illuined by the rays OF only
two lamps, and these are so Tar apart as to be OF
scarcely any use. The ruined buildings are admi-
rable hiding places FOR any plunderers, and the
solitary traveller, who, deluded with the idea that
he is about to make short cut, tries one OF these
blind paths, frequently comes to grief and suffers
from the harpies who assail him.
The outrages are so daring and occur so often
that the public have become alarmed and look to
the authorities to put stop to such crimes 1t is
true that our police force is admirably managed,
and, notwithstanding it's small size, is very vigi-
liant in apprehending all transgressors, but the
police are not immaculate, and not possessing
cats eyes cannot see in the dark. A little more
I3ht is essential, and unless it is soon obtained
this section will become q by-word and reproach
to our community.
During the hte rainy spell gentleman OF
this city, in his desire to take the nearest road
home, branched off into the burnt district, but he
had scarcely enteredit when he was assaulted with
brickbats, and finally assailed by three freedmen
he was, fortunately, able to elude their friendly
clutches, and succeeded in making his escape
the only damage sustained being a slight contu'
sion from the blow of brick. This is only one o
the numerous instances many of which do no
come to the public air, and, in the unsettled STATE
Of the community, it is absolutely necessary tina
some means should be taken to either capture o.
dispense these marauders.
There are several lamp posts in the burnt dis
trict that are now useless but which might be easi
" put in repair and made available for public pur
poses. This would require only small outlay
4 and the amount Of good resulting from it would b.
incalculable. Their rays would carry more terro
with them than watchman's club, and the CON
bined influence would be such as to make the dir
trict uninhabitable except by honest men.

Nun1smAr1cs friend yesterday showed us
great curiosity in the shape Of an Austrian copper
coin, bearing date 1916. aThe coin is known as
Kreuzer, and is equivalent to about two-thirds OF
q cent United States coinage. The Rreuzer is the
unit of value in many of the German States; sixty
Kreuzer make florin, ga.lden or gustder and two
and-a-half Of these are equal in value to an Ameri-
can silver dollar. This coin was found in digging
q wen in this city. Although the surface was con-
siderably abraded, the inscription is still quite
1eeible. With PopE we may exclaim Not that
the thing is either rich or rare but the wonder is
how the ID got there.
