YOU CAN'T CURE CONSTIPATION

by taking purgatives, salts, or other
drugs that act harshly or violently
upon the stomach or bowels.
Ask any doctor, n he will tell
you that purgatives of any character
distend the bowels and weaken the
elastic tissue.
To cure constipation, remov the
cause. The of constipation Is
indigestion. If your food iigested
properly it would continue on from
the stomach through the bowels, and
would be eliminated without effort
and with regularity.
Mona tablets cure constipation by
curing your Indigestion. 1t is not a
purgative. 1t is a stomach tonic and
more-it tones up, strengthens, invig-
rates, refreshes and injects new life
into the worn out muscles of the stom-
ach, and in a short time makes the
stomach hardy enough to digest any
thing you eat. 1t is a powerful yet
harmless stomach tonic, and its re
sistless influence on the stomach is
astonishing.
Try Mona for constipation. One
box will cure you Of indigestion; two
boxes will relieve you of constipation
and best of all, Mona is such an eco
nomical remedy. A large box only
costs so cents, and then, if you are no
| satisfied with results the EgglestoI
Drug company will give you you
money back.
Mona cures all stomach disorders
whether acute or chronic, such as dys
pepsia, vomiting, over-indulgence o

President RooseveIt's Good Time.
(Orison SWEET Marden, in .Succes'
MagaZine')


When President Roosevelt was leav.
ing washington this summer for his
Oyster Bay vacation, some friends ex'
pressed their sympathy for him on the
great burden of his arduOus tasks and
tremendous responsibilities. "Oh, dc
not waste and sympathy on me-" he
said, Il have enjoyed every minute OF
my stay in Washington. | have had
a perfectly corking time"
Most men would take the presidency
so seriously, they would be SO weight
ed down with its tremendous respon.
sibility and SO anxious all the time
lest things should not go right, lest
they should make some terrible mis-.
take, that they would not really enjoy
themselves very much. Sensitiveness,
timidity, would keep many Presidents
from much real enjoyment because of
an embarrassing self-consciousness as
to how they were deporting them
selves, how others were regarding
them. They would dread the cartoon.
~caricature and criticism of the press
so much that they would get very lit
tie pleasure or comfort out of theiI
office.
But Mr.. Roosevelt always gives the
impression hat he is really having
good time. He says he gets lots Of
fun, as he goes along, from the humor
GUS things that are constantly happen
ing, and that there are plenty of then
in his home life.
When your husband or father comes
home again with a t~hundercloud on hi:

Rain a Poor Substitute for Irrigation.
(Walter e. Weyl, in Success Mag
azinerl

aZine").
And irrigation is better than rain, in
finitely better. That also sounds like
a paradox, but instead it is almost
truism. What is better-to give {
plant just as much and no more water
than it needs and just when 1t needs
it; or to parch 1t or drown it, accord
ing to the whim of the clouds? The
rain falls upon the just and upon the
unjust alike; upon your strawberrie:
that cry for 1t and upon your sugar
beets that a uninterrupted sun
shine. Rain is all right in its place
but it is a very POOR substitute for ir
rigation. Otherwise why would the
lawns of our cities be sprinklej or If
rigated. instead of leaving them to the
tender mercy Of the clouds? No
Arid lands are more fertile than ordin'
airy lands. and irrigation is better than
rain.

woMiN's POLITICAL STATUS.
What Constitutes Her CitizenslIio and
How She May Get or Lose IL.

There are perhaps a million women
In The United States who do not know
whether they are citizens or not.
mainly because they confuse citizen
ship with the right to vote. Ameri-
can-born women abroad sometimes
hesitate whether TO describe them
solves In Official papers as citizens. On
the other hand, women who are not
citizens often apply to incorporate so
cial aud charity organizations. which
they may not legally do.
Judge Adams. OF the United States
district court. has decided in the case
OF Harriet Rionda that the wife OF an
allen cannot be naturalized. Her po-
htioal status follows her husband
With this exception a woman may be
naturallzed as a man Is. though the
formality Is seldom undertaken ex-
cept In Colorado. Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho foE voting purposes. or In other
states for business reasons.
Any woman born in this country
or OF American parents abroad Is a
citizen ANY foreign born woman
whose father IS naturalized before she
IS OF age becomes citizen with him.
but n she IS more than 2i when her
father Is naturalized she Is not a citi-
zen. and even II she lives here twenty
years. not marrying a citizen nor be-
coming naturaIlzed. the United States
rs under no obligation 60 protect her
when abroad. In a dozen states I'M
naturalized men may vote In certain
cases. In seven states women who
are not citizens may vote in local or
school elections II they or their hus-
bands have declared intention to be-
come citizens. Probably women who
are not citizens sometimes innocently
vote in school elections in ignorance
Of their true status.
An American woman who marrles
abroad loses he, citizenship. The
common references to American duch
essess are Inaccurate. The Duchess
OF Marlborough. for instance, Is not
an American citizen. but British
subject and an alien Residence In
America would not make her again
an American, nor, according to Judge
Adams decision. could she be re-
Amerieanized by naturalization

spoke to them during the hours Of
the raid Few honest men could pro-

were doing after midnight on GER
