Keep Your
Bowels Open

It is a noticeable fact, and one which
any doctor will verify that. people who
suffer most often from disease are the
ones who have the most difficulty in
keeping their bowels open. Regular
bowel action is half the battle of health.
People who have a tendency to con-
stipation must of necessity use something
to help nature along. This should not
be a violent aid like salts or purgative
waters, cathartic pills or powders, but a
syrup liquid that will oil the intestines
and membranes that it comes in contact
with. Children, women and weak
people generally should never be given a
strong physic, as it weakens the system. And it
IS futile for the strongest person because the
relief is simply for that day, and then the reac-
ton sets In and you are worse of than before.

tive tonic like DR.. CaldWclfs Syrup Pepsin.

Confession and Autobiography
of Harry Orchard"

In the July issue of McClure's
Magazine a most important article is
1.-THE Confession and Autobiography
of Harry Orchard" the confessed
murderer of eighteen men, including
Ex-Governor Steunenberg of Colorado.
George Kibbe Turner contributing
Introductory Notes." briefly states
the history of the situation and and
gives us his impressions of Orchard
whom he has e daily for weeks.
Beginning with his boyhood in
Northumberland County, Ontario,
Canada, in the late sixties, Orchard
tells of his early life on the farm,
with little schooling, much hard
work, regular church and Sunday
school attendance-the usual life of a
farm boy. He tells how he worked
out for nearby neighbors, and went
home on Sunday until he was twenty
two, when he went to work Ia a lum-
Der yard in Saginaw, Michigan. he
saved a little, got married, and he
and his wife, who was an expert
cheese-maker, rented a cheese fac
tory and started a business career,
The competition was close and thii
portion of the Confession" in which
Orchard ~narrates his first deviations
from a straightforward path are
very important, as they picture fortl
his first trend toward the awful life
he lived later. 1t is all simply tolt
and the gradual steps are clearly
marked:-short invoices to the PEG

from, and all the details kept from

"Will Wellman Fly to the PoIe?"

Walter Wellman, the celebrated
Arctic explorer, has a second paper in
the July McClure's on the airship trip
to the pole which he expects to make
in a month. In this article, which he
calls "Will the America Fly to the
Pole?" he describes his marvellous air
ship "America" and tells of dozens of
ingenious inventions embodied in it
that have never before been used by
aerial navigators. Some idea of what
a gigantic ship the america" is may
be gained from a few of the many
proportions and figures he gives:
cts length is 1873 feet, and its great
est diameter is 52.5 feet. The steel
car underneath is 115 feet long, and
from the bottom of this car to the
top of the g~as-reservoir the distance
is 65 feet, the height of a four.story
house. The surface of the gas-reser-
voir or balloon is $4,000 square feet, or
more than half an acre, and the
weight of the cotton, silk, and rubber
is two tons. When the ship sets out
upon its voyage it will embrace more
than twenty thousands pounds ten
tons-of material and cargo" There
is a crew of four men, twelve dogs
with sledge, instruments of all sorts,
sleeping and cooking gear, boats, oars
skees, guns, ammunition, etc, which
more than a ton. There are also in
the cargo more than a ton of provis-
ions and three tons of gasoline.
How they will sail when they can,

The Kansas Guy Journal in an
editorial Wednesday takes guess that
it IS the Presidents game to follow
the footsteps Of julius Caesar. From
all appearances it looks as if such a
thing is by no means improbable.
Nearly every great friend Of Mr.
Roosevelt has 10 recent interviews
expressed the opinion that the repub
lican party will force the nomination
upon the illustrlous rough rider
These interviews invariably follow
a visit to. the White House, so that

that it would be useless to offer HIM

What Women Want in
Men.

1t is so recently that women have
been allowed TO think. or expected to
think, that it is not strange that they
have not expressed themselves upon
the question Of what they want in
men. They have been brought up on
the philosophy. "Be good and you'll
bemarried." and it. has not been a
question of what they like in men, but
what men like ia them that counted or
was important.
There are many women, otherwise
fairly sensible, who openly say they
could not love man who did not rule
them. To say that every man, by vir-
tue Of his sex. Is meant to be the mas
ter of some woman is utter folly. The
need for III aster is not question Of
sex. but question of the lack Of NOR
al or mental stamina in the indivld
ual.
What do women want in men?
There are women who prefer men with
the ability TO earn fortune rather
than one who has inherited it. Being
"a good provider will sometimes cover
multitude OF petty faults in the eyes
of women Obliged To account for every
penny spent Nor is generosity with
money the only generosity. Women
want from men what every normal
human being Graves recommendation
