THE EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a healthfu1 influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma. nently cure the habit.

lis Own Advice.

Going directly from John Wan amaker's dinner table, at the fashionable hotel in Saratoga, Booker T. Washington thus ad- dressed the convention of negro business men in New York:
 We should let no influence turn our eyes from the fact that while wrong and injustice often touch our lives, the masses of our people are dependent upon the white people of the South, in a large degree, for employment, education and protection of life and property. We should see that no fire of racial hostility is lighted. Ten million members of our race, the great masses, are in the South, and there, in my opinion, they will remain. There is group of white men in the South, however little we may hear of them at distance, who are constantly eXerting them selves to help forward our cause, and we should see that no action on our part embarrasses them or makes their task more difficult.
 It is strange, indeed, that a man of this negro's wonderful ability cannot understand that the qualification of his vanity to mingle on terms of social equal ty with white people is doing more perhaps to fan the fires of racial hostility" than all things else together.
 Booker Washington is the most conspicuous example in the eyes of his race. He is in position to do his race immense good or lm- mense harm. He can more easily than any one else make friends or enemies for the ne- groes among the people with

White River Route Will Soon Be Open
 For Through Traffic.

Within a very short time the White River Route of the Iron Mountain will be opened for traffic. This line extends from Newport on the main line of the Iron Mountain through lnde- pendence, Stone, Baxter, Marion and Boone counties, Arkansas, and Fancy. Stone, Lawrence and Jasper counties, Missouri, to Carthage, on the line of the Mis- souri Pacific. The country tra- versed is among the finest in the United States, and it's possibili- ties are boundless. The open- ing of this line for business will be the realization of the fondest dreams of the friends of this section of country. It's natural resources are such as to assure a phenomenal development within a very short time, and the whole state will be benefited by the line.
 The settlement of the question as to the junction point of the Springfield Southwestern with the White River Route at Crane, Stone county, Missouri, has been hailed with delight by those who have been watching the work of the system. Those in position to know are certain that Crane is the logical point and that the management did we'll to select this place.
 The work on the White River route has been delayed somewhat by heavy rains, but there is llt- tie doubt but that it will be open ed for business within the very near future. It may be that the road will not be ready for regu- lar business when it is first open ed, owing to numerous grades which are yet to be reduced. and it may be impossible to carry regular tonnage over them for a short time.
 For miles the road is laid on a solid rock foundation and when completed will not require rebal- lasting, as is the case with lines built on earth roadbeds. Esti- mates of tonnage possible from this section of the state are enor- nous and within the next twelve months the management expects to have a paying property.

The sense of sight grows most precious. though often the best of glasses cannot restore to old eyes even a portion of their youthful power. These facts should impress all with the im- portance of early care for the organs of sight.
