Watch Your Thirty Feet
of Bowels!

II you have thirty feet of lntestines!
w What makes food travel
II through thema
- A set of Muscles that line the
walls Of these Intestines or Bowels.
When q piece Of Food rubs the walls
Of the Intestines these Muscles tighten
behind it, and thus il starts a Muscle-wave
which drives it through the whole length
Of the Bowels.
II should take about IL hours to do this
properly. so that nutritious parts of the food
may have time to be digested and absorbed.
Buff it takes twice or three times
that period the food spoils in passing, and
becomes as poisonous as if it had decayed
before being eaten.
Now. the cause Of delay Constipation
Is simply Weakness, or Laziness Of the
Bowel-Muscles.
Want OF Exercise. Indoor Employment,
weakens these Bowel-Muscles, jus. as Il,
weakens Arm and Leg Muscles.
"Physic" like Salts. CalomeI, Jalap.
Phosphate Of Soda. Mineral Waters, simply
ilush-out the Bowels for the one occasion
only.
They do not remove the Cause Of Con-
stipation.
But this is different with Cascarets.
Cascarets act on the Muscles Of the
Bowels and Intestines. They act Just as
Cold Water. or Exercise act on a Lazy man.
They act like exercise.

It is just II years since the biggest
freshet in the known history of the
Maine rivers. 1t was in the first few
days of March. 1896. that the great
torrent rolled down the river valleys
following a heavy rainstorm, taking
along bridges. mills. houses and logs
and doing millions Of dollars of dam
age. Lives were lost on each Of the
three Zig rivers. railroad travel was
cut off for days and people Travelled In
boats through the business streets OF
Bangor, Augusta. Hallowell, Gardiner.
Lewiston and Bath. There has been
no serious freshet since, but present
conditions must cause some anxiety.
Copious warm rains on the vast snow
pile; might easily put the memorable
disaster of IL years ago in the shade.

Among hunters and sportsmen gen.

Millinocket occupies an unique posi-
ton among the municipalities of Maine
according to the Millinocket Journal.
The short time that has elapsed since
the town began its municipal life has
not permitted until quite recently any
of its population to gain a pauper resi-
dence The rowing character Of the less
opulent portion of the towns inhabi-
tants initiates against their gaining a
residence. Those who have left their
homes and come to the town were
almost wholly young or middle aged
people of energy and ability who are
amply able to take care of themselves
while the constant employment at good
wages that the place affords renders
1t impossible that any one not en-
feebled by age or sickness should be in
capable of self support. From time to
time. unfortunates have been granted
temporary assistance, but with the ex-
ception of those cases in which the
persons asking assistance have come
from across the border and few whose
legal residence the town. up to the
present time. has been unable to locate
money expended for the relief of the
poor has been reimbursed. Another
matter in which Millinocket is in a
class by itself is that of highways, or
rather the lack of them. With the
exception of a piece of road about three
miles in length reaching from the vii
lage to the town line, the municipality
has no highway to support. 1t is
doubtful if there is another township in
the State so situated.

At an early age he showed desire for

taught biology. He also wrote text
book on the subject. 1t seemed as if
his life career was mapped out, when
a sudden and severe illness compelled
him to seek other work. He began
writing articles for the London news
papers and then the writing of books,
which have attracted attention both in

states that as a result of nearly al OF
the organizations OF the State having
Lcen sent 70 the exposition TO partIci-
pate In the exercises OF Virginia Day
last June, end other special days. great
est interest IN a military career has
been taeen by the men and officers OF
the different commands. Not only this,
but the attendance OF the people OF the
State upon the exposition. Witnessing
the military and naval displays, has led
70 a livelier interest in military organi-
cations and patriotic interest in the
defense of the country which already
has created a demand for sdmission
into the naUOa2l guard OF that state.
Recruits are being found, and as they
cone voluntarily and in numbers, a
higher class Is being obtained. This
beneI- - becoming more noticeable as
the exposition continues, and the good
effects are expected to be lasting.
