 Among a good many things that the Germans are, they are the cleanest people on earth.

It is a city without slums. a city without gutters. a city without smoke, a city without beggars, a city without offensiveness in any outward form; and with all this. 1t is a city without om- nipresent brooms, dirt-wagons and treet-cleaners Other cities are clean in spots; other cities have great white buildings and splendid avenues; other cities have attractive parks and quiet streets full of fine residences. where all is beautifully clean; but where Is the city that has only these things that has no darksome, noisoms quar- ters given over to dirt and slothful- ness? only in Germany.

TRAVELLING WITHOUT TIPS.
Result of am Esxpcrinent by German
 Hotel Keeper.

Hotel Keeper. London Daily Mall.
 Herr Grauer. 6 wealthy German hoe tel proprietor. has carried out an ex- pertinent with amusing results on tho tipping custom. He had theory that all hotel employees should be paid a living wage and that tipping should be abolished In hotels,
 So he started. accompanied by his wife and daughter (the Lausanne cor respondent writes) on three weeks tour of the chief German and Swiss hotels, determined not to spend sou on tips. in order to test his opinions
 One weeks experience of the conse- auences was enough for his wife and daughter, who returned home disap- pointed and indignant with Herr Grau- CT for the discomfort and insults to which he had led them.
 Mysterious hieroglyphlcs and secret signs--known only to hotel employees announced the arrival of the Grauers the non-tippers"--at the various re- sorts they visited. The result was al- ways the same-nobody seemed to want them.
 At the stations they were told that the particular hotel they wished to stay at was full: the hotel omnibus was merely waiting for a few old cli- ents to depart" When they insisted on entering the omnibus there was mo- body to carry their luggage and rail- way porters had to be employed and paid. Arriving at the hotel their heavy baggage was unceremoniously thrown on the ground and the boxes were damaged.
 The maid took half an hour to an- swer the bell, and the "hot water" when it did arrive, was cold. At table d'hote the Grauers were always served with the last portion, The concierge did not know" of any interesting trips in the neighborhood, and was generally busy" when they descended to the hall Complaints to the man. ager were futile.
 Herr Grauer who persevered with his three weeks tour to the end. sums up his experiences as including the following:
 Lost three trains; luggage unable to be found.
 Had four pairs of boots. two being new, ruined; "cause unknown.
 Two suits of clothes, one dress, three blouses mysteriously contracted ink stains.
 Herr Grauer now believes that tip- ping Is a necessary evil. with stIll a long life.

 It will not purge, sicken, nor upset the stomach.
 Because it is not "Bile-driver," like Salts, Sodium, Calomel, Jalap, Senna. nor Aperient Waters.
 Neither is it like Castor oil, Glycerine, or other Oily Laxatives thatsimply lubricate the lntestines for transit of the food stopped up in them at that particular time.

The chief cause of Constipation and Indigestion is weakness of the Muscles that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
 Cascarets are practically to the Bowel Muscles what Massage and Cold Bath are to the Athletic Muscles.
 They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges- tive Juices out of food eaten.
 They don't help the Bowels and Liver in such a way as to make them lean upon similar assistance for the future.
 This is why, with Cascarets, the dose may be lessened each succeeding time instead of increased, as it must be with all other Cathartics and Laxatives.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-11
cascarets act like exercise.

If carried in your vest pocket, (or carried in My Lady's Purse,) and eaten just when you suspect you need one, you will never know a sick day from the ordinary Ills of life.
 Because these Ills begin in the Bowels, and pave the way for all other diseases.
