Constipation and Its
 Causes.
A .well-known Remedy.

Constipation Is one of mans worst enemies, and half the bodily ills we suffer from are a result thereof. Na- ture meant that the bowels should be kept free and open--that we should have free movement at least once day Of course. we ourselves are to large extent responsible for our trou- bles by failure to observe Natures laws. Our habits are irregular, and we eat improper food with undue haste. and when we find our bowels do not move. have resort to powerful drugs and medicines. which are so drastic in their action that,~ although they may purge at first, they damage the ten der lining of the stomach and bowels so far as to leave worse condition than before. And why take such inju- rious and expensive drugs when we can obtain from any druggist, much cheaper, bottle of Natures own rem edy--the famous Mineral Laxative water-HUNYADI JANOS-bottIed at the springs in Hungary; in use nearly half a century. Che dose. oue-half a tumblerful, drunk on arising in the morning.

Facts About the American Indian,n
 Healthy Hair.

hehItny Hair.
 The American indian accustomed from time immemorial to go barehead- ed in all kinds of weather Is never troubled with falling hair or badness. The close atmosphere caused by our "civilized" head-gear is conducive to the breeding of infintesimal germs which dig into the scalp and thrive on the sap of the hair-root.
 This true cause of badness Is of re- cent discovery and explains the non success of all hair-vigors which treat ed badness as a functional disorder.
 Newbros Herpicide is direct exter- minator of the germ. Tt destroys the cause and permits the hair to grow as nature intended.
