like to read Uncle Gid's letters. l
have read after him pretty close. l
think him smart man, but sometimes
smart men get on the wrong track. l
see in Uncle Gids letter to the News
that he attacked Socialism and made a
pretty nice talk ON the subject. 1t
seems as though he is posting the girls
out there so they will find out what a
man politics is before they marry
and if man is socialist they will
not have him. So you see If the girls
We're all posted by Uncle Gid and the
men were all socialists they would live
single and die old maids. Now for the
benefit of the girls and the Socialist
boys as well want to say that Uncle
Gid has misrepresented Socialism, He
has got the wrong idea of it and a
man should be well posted to attack
Socialism because if he is not posted
he is liable to mislead the girls and
have them believe that Socialism
means everything i'll common THAT is
one mistake). He might have the
girls believe that Socialism means to
have the rich Tor wise) as as he puts
it, divide up with the poor Tor fool

we are fools. We call ourselves the
fool Socialists, but when man gets
to preaching everything in common,
or the divide up doctrine for Social
ism we know that he has got just
about as much idea of what Socialism
is as we have got of how many buck
shot it would take to fill the gulf OF
Mexico. Now we Socialists don't
want the rich, or wise, as Uncle Gid
calls them, to divide up their gold and
silver with the poor or fools as Uncle

WINE OF LIFE ROOT.

1t plants hope in hopeless hearts, the
seeds OF Joy in joyless minds, whose
fruition Is the blooms of health on the
cheek of the perfect woman, to whom
the Ills of her former existence are now
the real zest Of her pleasurable life.
Thousands of women all over this land
have testified to the truthfulness of this
assertion.

liking for her was unmistakable,
though he never tried to bridge the
distance which he fancied lay between
them.
The Boy seldom mingled with the
employees Of the house, so he knew
nothing Of the hotel gossip, and he
resented angrily the giggling insinu-
ations of two Of the maids, who. in
some way unknown to him, had dis
covered his hearts secret.
"How dare theyv' he fumed, and
then, being a Boy given to reasoning.
he decided that it was he who was
presumptuous for daring to love the
Girl.
The Boy hoped for nothing, so far
as the Girl was concerned. It might
be, some time, he should be in a posi-
ton to marry, but long before that
time came someone else would have
won her. Her kind were not to be
found every day. It might be she
was already engaged The Boys
heart stood still at the thought, but
then, after all, what concern was 1t
of his since he had nothing to hope
for; since he was not even hoping?
Still, his thoughts were of the Girl
when he lay down to sleep at night,
and they rose with him IN the morn
ing.
Sometimes it requires an upheaval of
the regular course Of things to bring
about a climax. The Boy might have
gone on hopelessly loving the Girl for
ever-at least that was what he fully
expected-had not Madame Fate
chosen to be kind and assisted him to
make other arrangements.
The summer had worn away to the
last Of the yellow August days when
grapes were turning dark and peaches
nellowing. 1t was just at shutdown
of one of these days that the Girl
came out of the hotel with one of
the admiring youths that followed in
her train. The Boy contemptuously
called him "a cub" and he grew
wrathful when he saw they were
starting for sail. There was a high

so it was said. She attracted people
to her, and she had a way of taking
everyone into her circle. It was she
who was always planning pleasant
things for others. It was she who
discovered and pointed out the good
points Of the unattractlve, timid girls,
and 1t was she who put bashful youths
at their ease. Through her efforts
she brought the guests Of the hotel
together as one large family, and the
Boy, looking on, applauded her tact
and unselishness and adored her the
more.
The Boy was never sure how it hap
pened, but gradually it came about
that they talked to each other when
they met, and when they were over
the Boy would go away and call him
self assorted names because he had
not said the thing he meant to say.
The truth of it was, the Girl was al
most as much interested in the Boy
as he was in her. The proprietor of
the hotel had told her his story and
she admired him for the determine
ton he showed to earn his living by
taking the best that offered until
there was something better. She ad-
mired him for other things, too, and
with reason. He was a good-looking.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.
0. What is the BEGINNING of sickness


Q. What is the beginning of sickness9
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry of
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
sive brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t
is the one disease tnat starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of
sleep and strength are its symptoms
piles, appendicitis and fstula are caused
by Constipation. It's consequences are
known to all physicians, but few suffer
ers realize their condition until it is too
late. Women become confirmed inYalidS
as a result of Constipation.
.. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is "are you cOnstipated?" 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.
O. What then should be done to cure
it?
A. Get bottle. of MulPs Grape / onic
at once MulPs Grape Tonic will posi-
lively cure 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 Mull's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per cent
of the juice Of Concord Grapes. It ex-
erts a peculiar strengthening, healing in
fiuence 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 a
rich, fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to
take As tonic it is unequalled, insur-
ing the system against disease. It
strengthens and builds up waste tissue.
Q. Where can MulPs 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.
