ways in which Mr.. Flagg has amassed
q comfortable fortune. He Is proud of
having been successful, and believes
that n Of the most vital character

the world about himself when he dies.
How did I happen to erect such a

When this was done. and when the insane ideas regarding
the impossible vastness of the deposits had been shaken
sufficiently, the investors began to have hopes of dividends.
Considered gcologically, nearly all the great oil fields
of the United States are within the belt that starts in New
York and trending southwest at an angle Of 10 degrees,
takes in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessce. The Kansas belt starts near the city Of Chanute,
in that State, and along a line at the same angle southwest
are the southwestern Kansas fields, the Indian Territory
and the Texas fields.
There are men who have made more money in oil within
two years than they made in mercantile and financial ven
lures in a quarter Of n century. AS to how much money
thousands of young plungers have lost in the aggregate in
that time-that IS altogether another story. But 1t Is
largely their own fault, as they plunge In without expe'
rience or careful thought.

Chemical and m~icroscopical analyses
of a number of continental and tonic
stock foods and proprietary feeds are
reported from the Pennsylvania sta
ton. According to the author, what
ever claims may be advanced for the
tonic effects of the usually minute
quantities of tonic substances in the
continental foods, or for the shell
producing qualities Of the lime of the
poultry powders, it is clear that we'll
known materials are used in com
pounding these proprietary articles,
that the farmer can easily make for
himself simple tonic mixtures, and
that the prices asked for these pro
prietary preparations are enormously
beyond their commercial worth" A

claimed by the makers would remove

found to contain saltpeter as the active
agent, with some charcoal and com
mon salt.

One of the most powerful causes Of
disease in London, says Prof. Mac
fayden, Is ,the inhalation of dust. The
constant inhalation Of particles Of
dust. particularly at times of fog, has
a deleterious effect on the respiratory
functions, producing bronchitis, pneu-
monia and kindred diseases.
A shr1nkage In the worlds water
supply is predicted by, NJ. Martel, the
French explorer of caves. Through
the erosion and corrosion Of the
earth's surface, he says, the water
level is being continually lowered,
and, unless measures for preventing
this are adopted, a large part Of the
world will, a few centuries hence, die
Of thirst. .
Helium proves to be the one per-
manent gas. Prof. Olszewski has
suddenly released it from n pressure
of 100 atmospheres at the tempera-
ture where hydrogen is about to solid
ify, but there was no sign of liquefy-
Ing, although the temperature devel-
oped was estimated at 271 degrees
below zero Cent. This temperature is
within two degrees Of absolute zero.
A step toward the adoption Of the
decimal system Of weights and meas
ures in Great Britain was taken by
the board Of trade a few months ago.
1t was decided to authorize the prep
aration of standard weights of 20
pounds, 10 pounds and 5 pounds each.
There Is at present a 5O-pound weight
In use, and the success of this as a
time and labor saver has contributed
toward the decision in favor Of the
new weights above named.
In spectacular geology the Vayau
volcano in Samoa seems to have a
place by itself. The crater is seven
miles inland, and It forms lava noun
tains that are slowly carried great
distances by the molten sea beneath,
as many as five or six of these shift
ing mountain chains seeming to be
now in existence. The mountains may
have q length Of four or FIVE miles,
with a width Of a quarter of a mile
IN places, and q height Of two hun
bred feet.

Canadian Gretna Green.

Some people suppose that Gretna
Green is no longer in existence. 1t has
simply changed Its latitude and longi-
tude. Its name Is now Windsor, and
it is a Canadian town in the Province
of Ontario, close to the United States
border. 1t was recently stated in the
provincial Legislature Of Ontario that
no fewer than 800 marriages were eel
cbrated in Windsor during the last
year. The great majority Of the happy
couples had hastily crossed the border

Fond of Horses,

'It is not generally KNOWN" said the
driver of u patrol wagon, that many Of
the residents living near patrol and
fire stations take as great an interest
In the horses as we do, and l think it
will be conceded that we all love our
horses. Prominent men and women
bring all kinds Of fruits and d~elicacies
for the horses. Very soon the horses
come to know them, and about the hour
they are in the habit of calling the
horses are on the lookout. Horses are
very fond Of apples and loaf sugar. A
physician living adjacent to our sta.
ton has for several years called at the
stable and brought a big apple for
each horse. He calls about I o'clock
each morning, and II he chances to
be a few minutes late the horses neigh
and become restless. Il we are out on
a trip at the time the doctor calls he
leaves tho apples, and although they
are beauties, there IL not a man in the
station who would eat one of them, so
anxious Is everyone that the horses
should no be deprived Of their fruit.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning of sickness!
A.. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and poi
sons the entire system. Eventually the
results are death under the name of some
other disease. Note the deaths from
typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach
and bowel trouble at the present time. .
Q. What causes Constipation
A. Neglect to respond to the call of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
eive brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet. Z
q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, feyers, stomach bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. ! 1t
is the one disease that starts all others:
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, 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 suffer
ers realize their condition until it is too
late. Women become confirmed invalids
as a result of Constipation. .
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ARE you constlpated! That
IS the secret.
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor
oil, injections, etc, every one OF which
is injurious. They weaken and increase
the malady. You know this by your own
experience. IL .,g -..
.aWhat then should be lone to cure
it?
A. Get n bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic
at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will posi-
lively euro Constipation and Stomach
Trouble in the shortest space of time. No
other remedy has before been known to
cure Constipation positively and perma-
nently.
Q. What is Mulr's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per cent
of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t ex-
erts a peculiar strengthening, healing in
Ifluence upon the intestines, so that they
can do their work unaided. The process
is gradual, but sure. 1t is not a physic,
but it cures Constipation, Dysentery,
Stomach and Bowel Trouble. Having n
rich, fruity grape favor, it is pleasant to
take. AS Il tonic it is unequalled, insur-
ing the system against disease. 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 90
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.

proved of great assistance to insurance companies trans

in some way bring about n review Of the disputed ques-

corruption exists the people are to blame. II corruption
is to be eradicated the people alone can do it.
The moral revolution now sweeping over the land means
the patriotism that comes from the heart, not from the
head. Many men would be willing, II need be, to give up
their lives for their city or State. They are needed SOME
times, and this kind Of patriotism cannot be too highly
commended, but the man who is willing to live for his city
and State every day is the man that Is needed just now.
There may be as much patriotism in giving ones time to
the betterment of civic conditions and the election of good
men to Office and in purifying the ballot as in barring ones
breast to the bullets Of an enemy.
There never was a time when the need for patriotic
men in public affairs was greater than now. We need
more men actuated alone by the public good and fewer Of
those who are in politics merely for revenue. The strength
of the lawless element is great, but it is as nothing when it
comes in contact with a public conscience thoroughly
aroused. The people can overthrow civic evil whenever they
want to and get just as good government as they deserve
or as bad as they permit it to become.

idea that women complain n great deal about their work.
I don't know about that. I do know a number of lazy
women. but my idea about the matter is that the vast ma
jority Of us do entirely too much without ever saying a
word.
When we reach the complaining stage 1t is a pretty sure
sign that the wonderful strength and force that has kept
us up so long is on the wane. A woman's complaint of
overwork is nearly always a danger slgnal-women are
often cruelty overworked without even knowing it.

capacity; because Of our superior ability to supply the
needs of others; because Of the illimitable resources of our
farms, mines and factories; because Of multiplied methods
and enlarged facilities Of cheap transportation from the
centers Of production down to the seaboard.
We take pride in our commerce because 1t tends to llt
the country to a higher and better level. 1t tends to equal
lie conditions. 1t enlarges the opportunity Of labor and
capital, and gives our people more homes and fills them
with more Of the comforts Of life. 1t brings communities
and trade centers together in common interest. A higher
civilization follows in its pathway.
While we are a commercial people, We are not sub
serylent to commercialism. We seek to expand commerce
as a means, not as an end. We seek its conquests that we
may minister to those high aspirations which are the birth
right Of the Anglo Saxon race.

REMEDY FOR MUNICIPAL ROTTENNESS.
By Gov. J. W, Folk.

The most conspicuous fact Of municipal gov

are governments by the few and not by the
people. There is more aggressive rottenness and
less aggressive patriotism in our large cities than
nywhere else. If the patriotism can be made
as aggressive as the rottenness the problem Of
good government would be solved by the people
taking the government into their own hands. II
