CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
60 Them the Circus Is a Very Sc
rious Affair.

40 Them the Circus Is n Very Se%
rious Affair.
To circus people the circus is a very
serious thing. When a bareback rider
slips to the ground after a somersault
or lofty tumbler misses the shoulder
1t is his business to land on the audi
ence is all sympathy, as if feeling it.
self how it is to fall before SO many
people. Very little the performer cares
for all the vast multitude. His mind
is on the superintendent, his particular
superintendent, who is watching him
at the side of the arena, and who, when
he goes off, is sure to ask very pointed
ly how his eye happened to be mac
curate or his muscles infirm. There is
no place in the circus for performers
who fail.
Even the clowns look little bit seri-
GUS behind the scenes. But perhaps
that is only because the black lines
they paint on their whitened visages
are always SO glum and solemn. And
what wilderness of fun making peo-
pie there are in the latter day circus
the pumpkin, the Loon, the Harlequin,
the Grimacer, the Merry Andrew, the
Austrian LOBBY, the Zany, the Pierrot,
the Punch, the Motley Fool and finally
the German Broad Face, whose name
is Paddy Burke! One of the clowns
was sitting on his trunk in the dress
ing room licking a stick of black paint
and rubbing it on his cheeks so as to
make most funereal expression. The
small boy asked him what kind Of al
clown he was. He said that he was
just Funny Friskey," and he got his
visiting card out of his trunk. 1t read,
III. Friskey, Clown and Comedian ~
and it had heavy gold rim, which
made it very imposing. In the -four.
corners it said Europe and Asia and
Africa and America, which showed
that Ell. Friskey's fame had reached
the four corners of the card. Until you
saw his merry capers In the ring you
never could believe that a man with!
such serious face and such an inn
posing visiting card could be either
funny or risky. Metropolitan Maya

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
TO Suffer from Constipation, Bowel
and Stomach Trouble.

9. What is the beginning Of sickness?
A. Constipation.
z. What is Constipation?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry OF
the waste matter which lies in the ali.
mentary canal where it decays and poi
SCns the entire system. Eventually the
Sesults are death under the name Of some
other disease. Note the deaths from ty;.
phoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and
bowel trouble at the present time.
U. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of
Nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Ex.
cessive brain work. Mental emotion and
IMPROPER diet.
q. What are the results Of neglected
Constipation!
A. Constipation causes more suffering
chan any other disease. 1t causes rheuma.
t,sm, colds, %fevers, stomach, bowel, kid
aey, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t. is
the one disease that starts all others. In.
digestion, dyspepsia, dlarrhea, loss OF
sleep and strength are its symptoms.
piles, appendicitis, and fstula, are caused
by Constipation; Its consequences are
known to all physicians, but few suf-
ferers realize their condition until it il
Zoo late. Women become confirmed in.
salids as a result Of Constipation.
q. Do physicians recognize this!
A. Yes. The first question YOU doctor
ASK you is are you constipated!" That
l. the secret.
q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
O. pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
jections, etc, every one of which is in.
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know tins by your own ex.
perience. -,
o. What then should be dom to cure it?
A. Get a bottle of MulPs Grape Tonic
at once. Mulls Grape Tonic will posi-
lively cure Constipation and Stomach trou-
Die in the shortest space of time. No
other remedy has been known to cure
Constipation positively and permanently.
q. What is Mulls Grape Tonic:
4. 1t is a Compound containing 40 per
cent of the juice OF Concord grapes 1t ex-
erts a strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, so that they can do
their work unaided. The process is grad
ual but sure. 1t is not a physic. 1t Is
unlike anything else you have ever used,
but it cures Constipation, dysentery, stom-
ach and bowel trouble. Having a rich.
fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to take.
As a tonic it is unequaled, i%nsuring the
system against diseases. 1t strengthens and
builds up waste tissue.
Q. 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 1t will
cure you.
