The Evils of constipation.

are many; in fact almost every se- rious illness has its origin in consti- patton, and some medicines, instead of preventing constipation, add to it. This is true of most catharties, which, when first used, have a beneficial ef- feet, but the dose has to be contin- ually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect. There is one preparation, how ever, that can be relied upon to pro. duce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years daily use, and this is Brandreth's Pills. which has record of over 100 years as the standard remedy for constipa. tion and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood.

Squirrels as Walters,

It has taken Fisk Goodyear of Burchtown. Pa, two years to train his pet squirrels, but his efforts are now repaid. and on Thanksgiving he treated his friends to a surprise.
 Gathering half a hundred or more gray squirrels, MT. Goodyear taught them to go into the woods and pick up nuts, carrying them to his home.
 On Thanksgiving night at a dinner his guests noticed small board run hing from window to . nut bowl. The host gave one knock on the table with his knife. A squirrel hopped down the plank and dropped a chest nut into the bowl. Two raps brought a squirrel with a walnut, three knocks a shellbark
 Finally, grave old squirrel took his place and cracked the nuts, wind ing up the performance by brushing of the crumbs with his thick bushy tail.

THE MAN WITH THE SHOVEL
There Are Millions of Him Deivina
 for Earth's Wealth.

We sold in 1905," says a Boston manufacturer, "350,000 dozen shovels and delivered them to railroads, min ing companies and other large users. One might think so many shovels would be enough for time, but this year our sales will amount to 400,- 900 dozen, or little less than 5000 900 shoyels."
 Every phase of activity entering into the prosperity of the country has been commented upon until it would seem that there is no feature entirely new, yet the production of shovels, certainly fine index, has not been much thought about. Five million shovels must mean great labor in i'm provement and preparation for new wealth taken out of the earth. None tary records, new showings in i'm. ports and exports, manufacturing to- tals not before reached, and new high bank clearings have all been consid- cred as representative of the pros perity now enjoyed, yet nothing could be so truly significant as the illustra, tion here afforded. This is the year of the man with the shovel. Nothing more basic could be found, and an apt and expressive name for the period would be the year of the 5000, ,000 shoyels-Minneapol Journal.
