A CERTAIN CURE
FOR
CONS ON
Regulations as to Diet, Exercise
&c, as Prescribed by One
OF the Most Eminent
Physicians.

Constipation affects mostly those
who are dyspeptic or who sit too
much or too long. 1t cannot be
cured by medicines alone. The fol-
lowing is the prescription OF a lead
ing physician:
Ist. Take on rising a teaspoonful
of Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in a glass OF
water as hot as you can sip it. Then
take brisk walk out OF doors. if YOU
can; if not, keep on Your feet and
move about indoors. If the trouble
is chronic and serious, take another
dose in from thirty to sixty minutes.
Wait at least half an hour before eat
ing your breakfast.
I'd. Never sit down to read or
work after breakfast until nature has
found relief But | haven't time"
You will have time if you rise ali
hour earlier than before, and a cure
is worth that
sd. Use laxative food-use a Cruel
of rolled oats and water, no. milk:
and use honey with wheat griddle
cakes .or with bread. Never touch
toast, or milk except in coffee. Don't
eat blackberries or cheese, and never
drink tea for breakfast. Use coffee
at breakfast, if you can: if not, hot
water. Chew all food thoroughly
and never use liquid to help masti-
cate it. Never use acids or sour fruits,
and fruit when cooked is much easier
digested than if uncooked.
4th. Why use Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt Because, first, there is no reac-
ton to follow it. You know what
that means, if you have taken physics
and found yourself worse off than be-
fore, the second day afterwards; Sec
ond, because the Genuine Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt aids the stomach as we'll
as the bowels in their functions.
You can take the Carlsbad Sprudel
Salt less and less steadily as you i'm
prove; but never be without bottle
handy. Be sure to use only the
Genuine Carlsbad Salt, which is OBJ
tanned from the celebrated Carlsbad
Sprudel Water, and has the sigma
ture of EISNER & MENDELSON

OVER A MILLION SAVED.


At a total saving to the government OF
81 100000, the Postmaster General yester-
day, upon the recomme ndation of the third
assistant postmaster general, awarded the
contract for furnishing the government
with stamped envelopes to the Purcell En-
velope Company of Holyoke, Mass, at a
total bid of s1.s6s. .s24.72. Four years ago
the government paid 81 ITO, 4S2. so.
For two weeks this contract has been
pending and during that period politics has
been dragged into the case, and the Post
master General has been besieged by prom
iDent politicians who sought to influence
the award
There were practically only two interest
ed parties to the case-the lowest bidder on
the government sample. the Purcell Enve-
lope Company. and the lowest bidder on
the bidders sample. the Plimpton-Mor-
gan Envelope Company of Hartford, Conn.,
When General Merritt became third as
sistant postmaster general he brought with
him ripe experience in paper manufac-
tJre. In looking over the record of pre-
vlouS administrations he saw that it had
been customary to limit the character of
paper employed in the manufacture of en-
ve'opes to that known'as loft dried" He
further became convinced that combna-
tion virtually controlled all loft-drled pa =
per. When the time came for advertising
for new bids General Merritt determined to
break the combination. and accordingly in
preparing the specifications inserted the
following language:
by some process of air dry
ing which in the judgment OF the Postmas-
ter General will produce equally good re-
Suits
There was considerable objection on the
part of the combination to the wording
but ii remained in the specification.
-Four years ago the contract was awarded
to the Purcell Envelope Company at half
a million dollars lower than the combna-
ton bid 1t now appears the contract was
sublet to the Morgan Company. the latter
IT is stated. paying the Purcell Company
$120OO a year for the contract
This year the Purcell Company was again
the lowest bidder and having in the mean
time erected an extensive plant, is pre-
pared to carry out the contract. The
fllmpton-Mt rgan people made a hard
night and brought an array of political i'll
fGence to bear. The Purcell Company Was
not idle in the meantime, and it also show
ed considerable strength. kilograms Were
received from such men as Chauncey NJ.
Depew and exPostmaster General James
certifying TO the financial responsibility of
the firm. A special trip was made by
department official to the Purcell plant to
investigate the plant and his report was
entirely satisfactory. Every objection was
met and disspated Then the Postmaste.
General awarded the contract to the Pur-
cell Company, he says, strictly upol
business reasons. politics not having any
thing to do with it.
