New CASTLE Their Mecca This Morning.
Aim to Make Every shad They Buy
Net Them Ten Gents.
Old fashioned dearborns and store de-
livery wagons were punched together on
Delaware street wharf and the foot Of
the Battery this morning, while their
owners lay, wrapped mp In several
blankets inside or at the hotel, awaiting
the return Of the shsd fest with Monday
mornings usual big haul.
Fish traders from several adjoining
counties made New Castle thsir Mecca
to day and they came fIom such "a I
distant points that several OF them spent
all day Sunday on the road. Their horse s
were safely housed Ia the JEFF srson House
stables ss they arrived.
These sbad salesmen supply q strong
demand for the fine Delaware fsh among z
the country people of Chester and Della
ware counties, Pa, and OF Cecil county,
Nd. They aim to get the Monday catch
Of Bhad because they get fish that are yet
alive and nearly always get them
cheaper than on other days.
In the bottom Of each wagon Is a thick
spreading of new STRAW. On this the
shad are packed ia on their backs Ssv
eral wet cloths are then spread over them
and they will keep nicely for forty eight
hours and in cool weather longer than
that. When the days are hot chopped

Each trader Intends to pack away
about 200 shad In his wagon, and calcu
lsteI on making 10 cents on each fish.
This he can do easily II the run Is large
aud the weather ooes not get too hot
while his load Is on. Thus, at this
season of the year, the business is very
profitable.

Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope TO
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make a sluggish
coward out of any man. II makes his
mind staonant, and he cannot think
quickly enough TO accomplish anything.
II makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has a fight on his
hands lust as much as ever had belted
knight It is a matter Of life and death,
lust the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
that 20 with it, most frequently start in
constipation. That keeps all sorts OF inn
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood and so deranges the whole system.
Coustipatiou is one of the cOmiuOnest
ills. and to it are traceable most OF the
disorders that make people sick. Once
Il uets a firm hold on a man, II IS most
difficult to overcome II. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained IN a thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
will help as long as You take them,
There is only one remedy that IS a real
remedy-that You don't have to keep on
taking forever. That is DIR. Pierce S
Pleasant Pellets. The "Pellets are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and
efficient in their action. They effect a
permanent cure. You don't become a
Slave to their use, as with other pills.
