CONSTIPATION
AND STOMACH TROUBLE
CAN Be CURED
J. S. Jansen, President OF the
Milwaukee Retail Drug
gists' Association,
Talks on the Da, gers Of Constipation
and Stomach Trouble.

Have you noticed the large number of cases
o. typhoid fever lately?" said Mr.. ]. S. Jansen
to Daily News representative. ITO my notion
typhoid fever, malarial fever, appendicitis and
many kindred complaints are the result OF
constipation, which in many cases Is allowed
by the patient to run along without proper
Il ,atment You will remember when you were
o child and the doctor was called, his first pre-
scription was n dose OF castor Oil All
physicians know the value OF having the bowels
thoroughly opened. People, when they grow
up, allow constipation to become chronic
through lack Of attention Constipation Is tho
failure OF; the bowels to carry OF the undigcsted
food, which collects In the alimentary canal
and there decays. generating poisonous disease
germs. These germs find their way into tho
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 rs o result. The
blood becomes thin and watery. The sufferer
loses In flesh and strength. Castor oil and pills
will not cure an nfflictiou like this. Something
more than O laxative Is needed. There are
many ply sizes on the market and we sell great
many, having probably the most popular store
of the kind in the city. do not often talk about
manufactured medicine, but the high esteem in
which Mull's Grape Tonic is held by the drug
and medical fraternities has impressed me and
know from actual experience right here In our
ton and stomach trouble positively and per-
manently. Mulls Grape Tonic is not physic,
but it Immediately clears the bowels OF the
decaying food because OF the peculiarly
strengthening effects it exerts over the organs
of the digestive system. AS tonic it is superior
to the nauseating cod liver oil compounds It
builds flesh faster and creates strength quicker
than any other preparation known to medical
science. The ingredients are positively harm
less, made mainly from crushed grapes and
fruits. Although afull bottle might be taken at
once, no inconvenience would result. 1 only
wish that people paid more attention to these
little details, which in themselves in the begin
ming 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 Mull's Grape Tonic. hope
you, through the influence of your paper, can
bring the readers TO q sense Of the gravity OF
allowing constipation TO become chronic"

sLEos IN SUMMER cLlMcs.
Strange Kind of Vehicle Used in the
Island of Madeira,

At Funchal, in the island of Madeira
the traveller finds one of the strangest
kinds of vehicles that the world af-
fOrds. He sees waiting quietly near
the wharf a number of sleds, with
sleek, dun-cOlored oxen yoked to each.
1t Is always high summer time in Ma.
deira and to see a conveyance which
he has ever associated with snow and
ice and zero weather is at first dis
concerning. The stranger rubs his
eyes and asks what those things are
for, but he soon finds that they are
the public hacks and that unless he
cares to walk he must step inside,
ensConce himself on the cushioned
seat and wait for the driver to prod
his slow steeds with the goad that he
always carries. Very soon the vehicle
begins to slip, very slowly to be sure,
but surely, over the smooth little cob
blestones with which the streets are
paved. At any particular difficult
turn OF the road or when coming
to rise of ground the driver places
a little bag Of grease under the front
of the runners which makes it compar-
atively easy for the sturdy steers to
pull the sled
Even up long steep hill these oxen
will slowly make their way. In coming.
down again no such tedious process is
used, but, getting into wide, finely
upholstered sled with wicker sides,
the passenger trusts himself to the
tender mercies Of two more or less
villainous looking guides as steers
men. Each one Of them holds rope
tied to the back of the sled, and when
the toboggan, as it is often called,
gets to jumping and bounding too
hiIariously the guides jump off and
pull with all their might at the ropes.

that the better course to pursue in at.
tempting to get fruit every year, Is
to change the bearing year OF entire
plants through q part of the orchard
and allow these to bear one year and
others the next year. 1t is not to be
understood that these results will al.
ways follow, but the tendency Is in
the direction indicated. The season

Kina Iona Sought by Greece.

Norway is not the first country that
has had trouble to find a king. Bull
garia sought the sovereignty of prac
tically every royal prince of Europe
and the plight of Greece was even
more remarkable. By 100000 votes
out of 241 900 the Greeks elected the
duke of Edinburgh their king, but
the British parliament would have
none Of It, The duke of Saxe-Coburs
would have accepted the crown, but
not, as they wanted, merely until his
nephew, the prince of Coburg- Cohary,
should come of age. The Due d'Au-
male and the king of Portugal, the
then Lord Stanley and Sir George
Grey were also among the unrespon-
sive desirables. 1t was almost as a
last thought that the present ruler
was offered and accepted the throne.

MAID WAS TOO TRUTHFUL.

tWtthout Sunday Dinner.


David Wilcox, the president of the
Delawar, and Hudson company, was
opposing the idea that a coal strike
would occur again.
"There will be no danger of a
strike" he said, "as long as the oper-
ators and the miners are perfectly
open and fair and reasonable with
one another. And they must not sud-
denly leap up with unexpected de.
mands that require immediate an,
swers. They must give one another
time for thought; they must give
plenty of warning when they have in
contemplation any change.
Should they make sudden, unex-
pected demands, it should not do for
them to excuse themselves with such
speCious argument as that which a
certain lsitchen maid employed upon
her mistress.

TilIaee and Fruit Growing.

A thoroughly pulverized soil is as
advantageous to the fruit orchard or
fruit plantation as to any other form
OF crop production. This fact has
been learned but slowly by the Amer.
lean farmers. The first orchards were
permitted to fight their own way in
the ocean of greensward and il they
lived SO much the better for the or
chardist. In the beginning cane fruits
were little cultivated. The wild ones
grew without cultivation and it was
argued that Nature in that way point.
ed out the profitable method of pro-
ducing fruit Little by little it was
demonstrated that better crops of
fruits could be produced If the fruit
plants were grown a considerable dis
lance apart and the ground was kept
free from other vegetable growths.
Tillage for the fruit plantation that is
to be used should begin In the fall
II possible, and the ground should be
plowed several times. In that way
he grasses and weeds decay, and so
do all the weeds that have sprung up
after the first blowing. 1t is some
times advisable to pillow the ground
very late in the fall In old fruit
plantations that have not been deeply
cultivated it is not advisable to pillow
the ground late in the fall, as this will
increase the chances of winter killing
or spring killing.

Habits and Fruit Trees.

Il seems absurd to suppose that
fruit trees form habits as do hui.
man beings. but that seems to
be the case. Professor Bailey
and others that have looked into
the matter declare that 1t is their
opinion that II tree begins to bear
crops every other year it will continue
to do so; and no amount of pruning
or thinning will change that habit aft
err it is once established. If. however,
the orchardlst is able by pruning and
thinning to start the tree as an annual
bearer 1t will remain that kind OF a
bearer. We have yet TO see this
theory thoroughly demonstrated, but
on the face of things it appears to be
true.

Tying Cows in Stalls.

Most farmers still hold to the stan.
ehions as means of keeping their
cows in the stable. 1t is surprising to
know that some of the most advanced
farmers have not yet abandoned the
use OF the stanchion. A lecturer on one
OF the institute forces was delivering
lecture on cows and condemned the
use or stapchions, advocating the
more modern methods of COW tying
In the discussion that followed some
one in the audience asked him the
question, What method do you use
IN tying the cows?" He replied, 81
still use the stanchion; I'm an old
fogy." This shows the force of habit
even in those that are well instructed
as to scientific dairy.ng. This man
said that both he and his cows were
used to the stanchicn, and had been
all their lives, and he had not got
around to making any change. If
TINS is so with those that are the
leaders in dairy thought, we need not
be surprised If the great mass of
farmers OF the country still hold to
the methods that science condemns.
In a rigid stanchion the animal can.
not lie down with ease and cannot
reach the parts of her body that she
can reach under the more modern ar.
rangement. The stalls that are now
generally advocated and used by the
men who are making science of
dairying, are those that give the COW
large amount of freedom. One of
these methods is to have the stall
narrow enough to prevent the COW
from turning around in 1t. A chain
behind her prevents her from backing
out OF the stall. Her head is left
entirely free. The COW, when she lies
down, naturally turns her head when
she composes herself for sleep. The
modern stalls permit the COW great
freedom in this respect. Another sys.
tenn of COW tying is to fasten them
with q chain around the neck, the
chain being fastened to a ring that
runs up and down on the center pole.
One has but to visit the state expert
ment station to see great variety
OF methods demonstrated in the fast.
ening of cows. All these, however.
serve one general purpose, that of
making the COW comfortable. So far
as we know the rigid stanchions are
not used In any experiment station.
or on any farms conducted by scien-
tihc dairymen-James Addison, Blu

Bacterial Content of Milk.

Many of our large cities have estab-
lished rule that no sweet milk solo
shall contain over q certain number
OF bacteria per cubic centimeter. A.
these bacteria consist largely of tactic
acid ferments, the natural ferments
OF the milk, and which produce sour
ness, 1t has been asked why such a
rule should be enforced. 1t must be
recognized that Tactic acid ferments
are not disease germs. Nevertheless,
there Is a good reason behind the act
of any city board of health that makes
such a rule. All physicians know
that the milk given to children, espe
cially very young children, must be
sweet If it is to be digestible. The
juices of the stomach of the child are
primarily adapted to the digestion OF
whole sweet milk. While sour milk
may be more easily digested by the
stomach of the mature person, this is
not true of babes. 1t is a well known
tact that babes in American cities are
fed to a very large extent on cows
milk. Wherever this milk is found
to be sour, or well on the way to be.
coming sour, intestinal disturbances
result when 1t is used for babes.
Wherever the boards of health have
vigorously enforced the rule that only
sweet milk shall be sold, there has
been material reduction in sickness
among infants, and consequently a
lower death rate. While 1t may be a
hardship to the people not to be able
to purchase skim milk and sour milk,
yet the general result of this precau.
ton is good.
