anv of these. It is the cormonest trouble
that human beings suffer from. 1t is so
common that iiine-tentl1s of all the sickness
in the world is traceable TO 1t. 1t Is merely
that simple. common thing-constipahon
There is no telling what it may lead to, but
it is sure to lead to something bad. Its lrl-
me ate effects are unpleasant III the ex-
IRENE. It makes people listless, gives
them headaches, makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss OF
sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.
All this merely because Nature has been
imposed upon, and has been refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One pill is a
gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic.
There are two remarkable things about the
"Pellets." One is that they never gripe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently. You can take any other
medicine YOU like, as long as you like, and
if yor stop. your trouble will come back
quickly, and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than il was before. This
isn't true OF Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
You take them until You get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you stop.
You don't have to take any more " Pellets :"
unless after a while you do something that
derauges your digestive system again. We
are not guessing about these facts, and we
don't ask you to take our unsupported word
for it. Thousands of people have found
that they are true, and have testified to
them Let the druggist who says that some
thing else is "jast as good sell that some
thing else to somebody else. Don't let him
trifle with your health for the sake Of 4
little more profit to himself.

Temperatures for Food STORAGE.

Bulletin No. IS of the weather bureau
OF the United States department. of agri
culture discusses the proper temperature
for the storage of food products and thost
for shipping perishable goods. 1t con
cludes that perishable goods can BIZ
shipped in ordinary freight ears with
safety when the outside temperature is
twenty degrees and in refrigerator cars al
ten degrees. In the latter case if the ca,
is heated before shipment the goods may
be sent, although the temperature is from
zero to ten degrees below it.
Fresh beef should be chilled to tenn.
perature of thirtysix degrees if intended
for shipping. Forty degrees is admissible.
1t is advised to reduce the temperature
Of milk to forty degrees, which extract !,
as the author is pleased to term it, the

as it becomes watery and inferior when
tbawed out. Nor should butter be frozen
unless intended for use Immediately after
thawing. OF vegetables and fruits it
says:
"The best storage for apples and po-
tatoas and for vegetables generally is a
well-ventilated, dry cellar, kept at tenn
perature between 80 and As degrees.
Other methods of storing potatoes are
In tent-shaped houses, ventilated at the
top and covered with earth from to u
inches deep; packing in shallow pits in
the ground between layers of straw or
oornstalks, a layer Of straw or cornstalL S
on top covered with earth, hole being
left in the top for ventilation; and pack
ing in dry sand in cellars.
"Apples and potatoes are also stored in
specially constructed barns, made as
nearly air tight as possible, fitted with
crates or bins, and supplied with heating
apparatus for maintaining an even tenn
peraturc.
Apples keep better if, before storing
they are put in piles out of doors and
allowed to sweat.
Potatoes should not be left in the sun
after being dug, as the heating induces
sweating and decay.
Celery is stored in an unhoored, in
closed, well-ventilated shed, the earth is

a specific action upon the kidneys, but
have never found anything that was
entirely satisfactory until began the use
of Spsragus Kidney Pills.

binaton of remedies which have such a
happy effect, and l take pleasure in re-
commencing your pills to my brother

them a remedy that will fully meet the
indications presented in all diseases of the
kidneys, as well as in all diseases which

A LEWISTON DETECTIVE
Thinks Frank Butler lost His Money Before
He Went to the Boarding House.

A Lewiston detective thinks that Frank
Butler of Augusta who complained We'd
nesday Of being robbed in a Main street
boarding house in that city, Monday
night, lost his money, before going 10
that house.
The detective was in saloon on Lin
coin street, Monday forenoon and while
there saw a man whom he afterwards
learned was Butler, come in and buy IA
drink. He pulled out large amount of
money and fourishcd it.
The detective, who says that he was in
disguise at the time and was hunting for
a Boston outlaw, stepped up to him and
told him to put up his money Or he might
lose it and possibly his life with it, The
man replied by demanding what business
it was of his if he did lose 1t.
Another Lewiston man who is recog-
nized as dangerous character, followed
the man out and led him into well
known house further down the street.
When Butler came out few hours after
wards, he appeared in dazed condition
and remarked that he had lost his money.
Constable Maxine Beaulieu, to whom
Butler first complained and to whom he
told straight story In spite of his intoxi-
cation, thinks that he really did lose the
373 in the room Of the boarding house.
The policeman on the beat who directed
the two men to the boarding house says
that Buffers chum had familiar face
and he shall know him if they ever meet
again.

The Northern Pacific was the pioneer
Of the transcontinental roads built by

in the ca,cu,ations of its founders, ex-
cept that they did not mature as fast as
