CONSTIPATION AND STOM.
ACH TROUBLE CAN BE
CURED
j. S. Jansen, President of the Mil.
waukee Retail Druggists Associa-
ton, Talks on the Dangers of
Constipation and Stom-
ach Trouble.

"Have you noticed the large number Of
cases OF typhoid fever lately?" said Mr. J.
5. Jansen to a Daily News representative
ITO my notion typhoid fever, malarial fe-
yer, appendicitis and many kindred com.
plants are the result Of constipation, which
In many cases is allowed by the patient to
run along without proper treatment You
WILL remember when you were child ana
the doctor was called, his first prescription
was dose Of castor Oil! All physicians
know the value of having the bowels thor
oughly opened. People, when they grow up,
allow constipation to become chronic
Through lack Of attention. Constipation is
the failure Of the bowels to carry off the
undi5ested food, which collects in the all
mentary canal and there decays general
Ing poisonous disease germs. These germs
find their. way into the blood by means OF
which they are carried to every tissue. The
fever thus created affects not only the
lungs, kidneys, stomach, heart and nervous
system, but In fact any organ Of the body
IS liable to break down as a result. The
blood becomes thin and watery. The suf-
ferer loses in flesh and strength. Castor oil
and pills will not cure an affection like this.
Something more than a laxative Is needed.
There are many physics on the market ana
we sell great many, having probably the
l do not often talk about manufactured
medicine, but the high esteem In which
Mulrs Grape Tonic is held by the drug and
medical fraternities has impressed me and
In our store that Mulls Grape Tonic cures
constipation and stomach trouble positively
and permanently.
"Grape Tonic is not a physic, but 1t I'm
mediately clears the bowels of the decay
Ing food because Of the peculiarly strength
ening effects it exerts over the organs OF
the digestive system. AS a tonic 1t Is su-
perior to the nauseating cod liver oil COM
pounds. 1t builds flesh faster and creates
strength quicker than any other prepara-
ton known to medical science. The ingred-
tents are positively harmless made mainly
from crushed grapes and fruits. Although
full bottle might be taken at once, no
inconvenience would result only wish
that people paid more attention to these
little details, which in themselves In the
beginning are of so slight Importance, but
which grow in magnitude until the most
serious trouble and some deadly disease
fastens itself on the constitution. There
Is really nothing easier to take than MulPs
Grape. Tonic hope you, through the In
fuence Of your paper, can bring the read
ers to a sense Of the gravity OF allowing
constipation to become chronic"

At each end Of the strap are hooks
which are connected with loops In the
brace. A chest strap is also provided,
which Is connected with the shoulder
strap and passes around the wearer be-
meath the arm to retain the shoulder
strap in position, both straps having
adjusting means consisting Of buckles.
To render the adjustments effective
the chest strap is arranged to slide
upon the shoulder strap in front, but
riveted at the back. The brace has a
yoke at the end which bears against
the wearer. At the other end is an at
tachment having a hand grip on one
side and a socket on the other to re-
ceive the handle Of the luggage TO be
carried. By this arrangement yalise,
grip or other article Of a similar form
can be suspended from the handle Of
the device and easily carried, the
wearer not being annoyed or having
his progress retarded by the lugga sc
coming in contact with his limbs. A
comparatively heavy article can thus
be carried without inconvenience.

LAYING A GHOST.
~~~~~0o~~

Now and then a circumstance or
combination Of circumstances, strange
and apparently inexplicable, comes to
the worlds notice. In olden times such
phenomena were almost always attrib-
uted to a supernatural power, and even
to-day there are many who retain the
fear Of ghosts. Experience and 1nves-
tigation have demonstrated, however,
that there is always some reasonable
and natural solution to such mysteries.
If the Rev. John Todd had not worked
on that principle, the residents Of his
town might have lived out their lives
in terror Of haunting spirit. Mr..
Todd tells the story in his "Autobi-
ography."
In the village stood house which
was said to be haunted. It was a
large, three-story building, well light
ed and ventilated, and in thickly set
tied neighborhood, the last house one
would have connected with the idea
of ghosts. The neighbors, however,

sounds proceeding from the closed
rooms; groans and signs and unearth-
" walls. Some who had ventured to
listen at the doors told Of the pat
ter Of little feet on the bare floors.
Gall Is not right there" they said.
"Strange secrets lie within those
walls"
I had been the last one to occupy the
house, and just before had left it 1
lost a little boy. Of course the good
people did not suspect me Of ill-doing,
but in some way they connected the
noises with the death Of my son. This
made me more anxious to clear up the
mystery.
One day got the keys Of the house
and made known my determination to
Investigate. The neighbors gathered
about the gate, but would not enter.
A few moments satisfied me that the
little feet which battered about were

neat appearance Of the garment. To
prevent soiling they must be hung up
carefully, and a really good garment
holder has yet to make it's appearance.
The best SO far noticed Is the one
shown in the illustration, which is con-
structed Of horizontal cylindrical bar,
preferably of wood, attached to verti-
cal wire rod hangers, which pass up
through the ends Of the bar. At the
upper end Of the rods are hooks by
which the holder is suspended in the
wardrobe, closet, etc. Above the bar
Is an adjustable garment clamp-a
round wooden bar-which Is also at
tached to the wire rods. At the top Of
the rods is another bar to keep the
hanger parallel. In use, the movable
garment clamp is raised, and the gar
ment drawn between the two bars
The clamp is then pressed down and
the end Of the garment folded over,
the weight of the latter being sufi-
cient to firmly secure the clamp. The
grip can also be increased by connect
ing the two bars by narrow strip Of
rubber, but this is not necessary. Any
article of clothing can be hung on this
holder without wrinkling. It would
also serve as a trousers hanger, since
it would compress the trousers at the
creases and support them without
wrinkling.

WHERE HENS ARE RENTED.
Remarkable Industry F1ourishes In
Sacramento Valley.

Remarkable Industry F1ourishes In
Sacramento Valley.
You may have heard of the May
wood colony in California. It was
founded by Warren N. Woodson, who
is still its proprietor, and is situated
in the Sacramento valley, north Of the
city Of Sacramento, and on the line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad that
runs between San Francisco and PORT
land, according to Leslie's Weekly. In
this colony and the town Of Corning.
which is its center, 5000 people are
living among orchards and vineyards
that cover 10000 acres of land, and
on which are more than 100000 fruit
trees-peaches, pears, oranges, april
cots, prunes, figs, almonds, olives and
others. The haywood poultry farm,
the organization which is conducting
the hen-renting enterprise, is one Of
the features Of the haywood colony.
This farm has only recently begun
operations and it now owns absolutely
10000 hens. This number is to be in
creased until there are 100000, making
this by far the largest poultry farm in
the world All the birds Of the farm
are pure-blood Leghorns, with white
feathers and vivid combs, and they are
the white slaves" Of the colony. The
farm rents these hens In lots Of 500.
or 1000, or inimultiples Of 1000, to the
colonists, under conditions which make
it possible for the new arrival at May
wood to begin at once to receive a reg
ular income from the chickens which
belong to the farm, the amount of the
income depending upon the number OF
hens rented. The hens are never sold,
only leased for a term Of two years.
They are then returned to the farm,
fattened and sent to market as fowl"
To illustrate the method of proce-
dure, I will take the instance Of
Brooklyn lawyer who not long ago
joined the haywood colony at Corn
ing. He first bought for $500 one Of
the ten-acre lots which are a part Of
the 5OO-acre tract Immediately adjoin-
ing the breeding houses Of the poultry
farm, this tract being held by Proprie-
tor Woodson for new settlers Having
established himself, the new colonist
complied with the first condition i'm
posed by the poultry concern. Follow
ing specification laid down by the or
ganiZatiOn to insure comfort, conve-
nience and sanitation for the hens, the
Brooklyn man built four hen houses.
Then he rented 1000 hens, each hen
house holding $50 birds. In California,
where there are no winters, hens lay
all the year round, although they are
most prolific in the spring. The new
colonist at once began to get results
from the hens. Every day he sells the
fresh eggs, through a selling system
which is a part Of the general plan Of
the farm. The rent which he pays for
the laying leghorns is cents out Of
each dozen eggs which he sells. His
experience shows that each hen will
earn, net, 81 a year, so that his profit
for the thousand averages $1,000.
Aside from this, his ten-acre tract is
being planted in fruit and vegetables.
the latter sustaining him and his fam
lily; the former developing into an in
producing proposition within a
few years.
