A Swell Club.

A young American staying for n
time in an English provincial town,
and being the only representative of
his nation there, was the victim of
considerable "guying." But he took it
all with such good nature that he gen.
orally managed to come Off with flying
colors, despite his inferiorlty in num-
bcrs to his tormcntors
AT an evening gathering be wore his
coat lapel pin In the form of n tiny
American flng. Several Of the guests
pretended not to recognize the Stars
and Stripes.

you HAVE NO RIGHT 70
SUFFER
From Constipation. Bowel and stom-
ach Trouble.
g. What l. the beginning Of sick'

@. What Is the beginning Of sick
A. Constipation.
Q. What Is Constipation
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry on
the waste matter which lies In the all
mentary canal where 1t decays and pol
sons the entire system. Eventually
some other disease. Note the deaths
from typhoid fever and appendicitis,
stomach and bowel trouble at the pres
ent time.
Y. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call OF
nature promptly. Lack Of exercise. Ex-
cesslve brain work. Mental emotion
and improper diet.
Q. What are the results Of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffer
Ing than any other disease. 1t causes
rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bow
el, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc.
1t Is the one disease that starts nll 9TH
ers. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhOea,
loss of sleep and strength are its symp-
toms-piles, appendicitis and fistula, are
caused by Constipation. Its conse-
quences are known to all physicians,
but few sufferers realize their condition
until 1t is too late. Women become
confirmed invalids as result of Constr
patton.
q. DO physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doc.
tor asks you Is "Are you constipated"
That Is the secret.
Q. Can IL be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment The
common error Is to resort to physics,
such rs pills, salts, mineral water, cas-
tor OIL. injections, etc, every one OF
which is injurious. They weaken and
Increase the malady. You know this
by your own experience.
@. What, then, should be done to cure
A. Get bottle Of Mull's Grape
Tonic at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will
positively cure Constipation and Stom-
nch Trouble In the shortest space Of
time. No other remedy has before been
known to cure Constipation positively
and permanently.
Q. What Is Mull's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t Is a Compound with 40 per
cent Of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t
exerts a peculiar Strengthening, healing
influence upon the intestines, 80 that
they can do their work unaided. The
process is gradual, but sure. 1t is not
q physic, but it cures Constipation,
Dysentery, Stomach and Bowel Trouble.
Having rich, fruity grape favor, 1t 10
pleasant to take. As tonic 1t Is un-
equalled, insuring the system against
disease. 1t strengthens and builds up
waste tissue.
9. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be
had?
A. Your druggist sells It. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the so
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never
used it because we know it will cure
you.

COST OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

sum Required Annually to Maintain
1t md Other Figures.
The White House up to date has
cost about S3,0O0,OO0, of which near.
ly one-third has been paid for furnl.
ture and interior decorations, says the
Saturday Evening Post. Originally
the State Of Virginia gave S13O,O00 to
build it, Maryland adding $4,000. To
maintain the White House costs from
$4,000 to $4,000 n year, the appro-
priatlon for this purpose varying con-
siderably. But every now and then
there is something extra to be paid for
and Congress is called upon to give an
extra $4,000 or $4,000. The biggest
pull of this kind ever made was for
$550,00O, which was spent couple Of
years ago in partial reconstruction
Of the interior and in the addition Of
wlnglike terraces and an office build
ing.
Every now and then n new set of
china has to be provided and usually
that costs about $25. .00v-rather big
sum from the everyday housewives q
point Of view. Repairs run up to q
large amount annually, white paint be-
ing an important item.
The President gets his pay every
month in the shape of check, or,
more accurately speaking, "war-
rant" for $4,166.67, which is sent by
messenger to the White House. A
memorandum Of the amount due is
made out by the auditor of the State
Department and is sent to the warrant
division Of the Treasury, where 1t is
examined and marked as approved.
The Secretary of the Treasury signs
1t, the Controller certifies 1t as correct
and then Mr.. Roosevelt receives his
money. The smallest warrant ever is
sued by the Treasury Department was
in favor Of President of tho United
States. 1t was for one cent and was
forwarded from Washington to Mr..
Cleveland to Gray Gables, the sum
being due to close the account of sal.
airy for the fiscal year.

Hence, building seemingly firm

There is n winged termite, but the
real deprcdators are soft-bodles, large
headed and milky white, less than a
quarter of an inch in length. A colony
of termites in the tropics has king
and queen, the latter possessing an
enormous capacity for laying eggs. In
this country this queen has not been
found. In her absence, however, the
termtcs are able to develop from
young larva or nymph which would
otherwise become winged female,
known as n supplementary queen,
which is never winged and never
leaves the colony. The late Prof. III.
G. Hubbard discovered this supplement
tary queen-the parent insect Of all
the terrible termites in America.
