My barley went 40 bushels last year
and 90 this year. and was not sown
until the latter part of May. 1 had
three acres of potatoes this year and
sold 700 bushels and put 275 bushels
IN the cellar and no bugs to pick.

We have the patent for our homestead

Il l had my choice of a ticket to Odds

well as man with money.

The Handy Doctor in Y our
Vest Pocket

TITS thin, round-cornered little
Enamel Box
When carried in your vest pocket
IL II means Health-lnsurance
1t contains Six Candy Tablets of pleasant
taste, almost as pleasant as Chocolate.
Each tablet is a working dose of Cas-
carets, which acts like Exercise on the
Bowels and Liver.
II will not purge, sicken, nor upset the
stomach.
Because it is not "Bi..-driver," like
Salts, Sodium, Calome. Jalap, SIENNA, nor
Aperient Waters.
Neither is it like Castor Oil, Glycerine,
or other Oily Laxatives that simply 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 lntestines 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 Dges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver in
such 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.
Cascarets act like exercise.
If carried in your vest pocket, Tor carried
in My Lady's Purse,) and eaten just when
you suspect you need one, you will never
know sick day from the ordinary Ills of life.
Because these Ills begin in the Bowels,
and pave the way for all other diseases.

During the summer and autumn nei-
their illness nor accident occurred.
But when a severe winter followed
all at once the ''navigators'' began to
call on the doctor for castor OIL.
Each brought his bottle, into which
an ounce was poured, until the oil was
exhausted, and the doctor was forced
to send to town for a further supply.
When that, too, was getting low the
doctor one day quietly asked a healthy
looking fellow what was wrong with
the men that they required so much
castor oil.

he had an appointment to marry
couple at 4 on certain afternoon. He
appeared duly, and the bride appeared,
but not the bridegroom. The clergy

from till 6. Then they sadly depart
ed. A week later the same couple
wrote to the clergyman again, ap-
pointing another afternoon at for
the ceremony. And again the clergy
man and the bride were on hand duly
and again the groom failed to turn up.
As the two waited time passed slowly
in the still and empty church. 1t
grew darker. Five o'clock sounded,

silence with fierce ejaculation.
