his duty broke his neck. The man
was in a dilemma as to how to get
out, and concluded that if he would
unyoke the dead OK, that he could
put his own neck in, and at least hold
up that end of the yoke while the re-
naming OK did the pulling. The plan
worked SO far as getting out OF the
tight place was concerned, but when
the level was reached the OK became
frightened at the unusual character OF
his mate, and took down the road at

POISONING THE SYSTEM,

1t is through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, causing
headache, dullness and melancholia at
first, then unsightly eruptions and finally
serious illness unless a remedy is applied.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent this
trouble by stimulating the liveer and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the bowels.
These little pills do not act violently but
by strengthening the bowels enable them
to perform their own work. Never grippe
