In panicky periods like the present cases
OF sickness are looked upon with 'sus-
picion' that at other times would excite
no comment whatever. A stomach ache
now means an 'iirritable stomach" which
is one OF the syptoms of yellow fever. and
u headache or backache Is sufficient cause
for u rigid quarantine OF the patient.
II the consequences of this foolish panic
were not so serious to business and to
labor they would be positively amusing.
A city of Houstons size. somes 10000 peo-
pie. Is always afflicted with a number of
cases OF sickness, OF all lands. but nothing
ordinarily Is thought OF the circumstance.
As matter OF fact there are probably
fewer cases OF sickness IN this city today
than at any time during the past summer
Were N not for tho circumstance that Dr.
Swearangen had announced that he saw n
suspicious case OF fever at Beaumont no
man in Texas would now think OF sus-
peotng Houston as Il possible point of
infection" or danger.

The Spanish authorities were given just six hours in which to do all this, and in the meantime the French warship cleared for action. Before the expiration of the third hour the prisoner was released, and before she reached her home the royal salute to the French flag was fired. This is q vigorous foreign policy with vengeance. If Consul Gen eral Lee was backed up by an American warship in the harbor of Havana, Spain would more readily comply with the demands of this Government.

Whom They Were Naughty.

There were some queer modes of pun ishment for naughty girls and boys in our grandmothers' days. When stitches went awry in patchwork, the small fin gers were smartly snapped with the sinewy forefnger and thumb, the for mer capped with heavy thimble of huge dimensions. This was much more severe than the mere telling would im- ply, and tho young culprits soon learned to dread it. Another punishment for minor offenses WAS to tie the naughty child's pinafore over its head and rap ping the victim with a stiff busk, snatched out from tho bosom of her dress. evidently carried there for that purnoSo.

Thirty thousand elk are wintering in the Jackson s Hole country of Wyoming, according to the estimate of the game warden, who says that in one herd which he saw the other morning there were 15, GOO of them, stretching over a distance of six miles. The sight, he said, surpassed anything he had ever seen and utterly amazed him. The elk trail over the snow was like flint ice he said, so hard had the snow been packed down. The animals are seen by thousands any morning moving along the Snake river from tho Great swamp to the Gros Ven tre hills. and at night the walls of the calves straying from their mothers may be heard.

of things it shows Itself in many ways At first, perhaps little heaviness in the stomach, 2 little eourness, windy belchings and heartburn Headaches begin to conie pretty soon after that, and biliousness and a foul taste in the mouth in the morning Chronic constipation is almost inevitable, and it is probably the most serious trouble that ever takes hold of man. Its seeming simplicity Is the thing that makes it most dangerous, because 1t leads to neglect. Constipation means that the body is hold Ing poisonous, impure matter that should be gotten rid of The poison is being re- absorbed into the blood and the whole body Is being filled with it. Impurity in the blood may lead to almost any disease. There is no telling what may come of it. Constipation is the start of 1t all. And yet people are careless about it. IL is the most serious thing in the world, and the easiest to cure If you go about it right. Dr. Pierce's 2Tiisassfs:: rasSs.sse.s c:.se constipation Care It positively, certainly, infaliibly. Cure it so it stays cured Cure it so you can stop taking medicine.
 And that is something that no other remedy in the world will do.
