Why this enormous patronage9

Why this enormous patronage7
The answer Is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet,
mild, fragrant, harmless but effective little tablets for the treat
ment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to
carry lin vest-pocket or PURSE, easy to take and easy Of action,
always reliable, always the same, they work while you sleep"
and wake you up feeling fine in the morning.
They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the muscular walls Of
the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antsepte, forcing
out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they are great preventive OF
disease, and may DO taken continuously s a precautionary MEASURE.
The new Pure Drugs Act, adopted by Congress on June 80, 1905 and in
effect January !, 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better and PURER
drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live up to 1t in

the greater In PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any
other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world
This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT
ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.

In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and BOdy-TOre Mt Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.
My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out OF his face. They Began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
Of his body, and then n came IN his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew so bad l had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton
and was hardly able to walk. l sent
to the drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has had any sores Of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura RENE
dies my precious child would have died
from these terrible sores. l used only

MACHINE -GROUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the "hand-
mixed" paint Of the painter slighttngly
spoken of as "unscientifc" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side Of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific" paint there
Is, because 1t is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as a
good doctors prescription. If the paint
er did not mix 1t thus it would lie as
unscientiic as a patent medicine. More
over the paint which a good painter
turns out is made of genuine white lead
and pure linseed Oil. If he does not
mix it himself he is not sure what is
in it and consequently his client cannot
be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed by
machinery. that is simply Il mis-state-
ment. White Lead rs made by National
Lead Company Is thoroughly incorpo-
rated with Z or 8 per cent of pure Lin
seed oil in the factory, making q pasta.
This paste need only be thinned with
additional linseed oil to make It ready
for the brush.
The thorough Incorporation Of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.
To know how to tell pure white lead
is a great advantage to both painter
and HORSEPOWER. National Lead Com
pany will send a tester free to anyone
interested. Address the company ut

The Two Mysteries.

know not what 1t is, dear, this sleep
so deep and still:
The folded hands, the awful calm. the
cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though
we may call and call;
The strange white solitude Of peace that
settles over all.
We know not what Il means, dear, this
desolate hcart-pain;
This dread TO take our daily way, and
walk in IT again:
We know not 10 what other sphere the
loved who leave US go. .
Nor why we're left 10 wonder still, nor
why We do not know.
But this we know; Our loved and dead,
Il they should come this day
Should come and ask us, What is life?"
not one Of US could say.
Life is a mystery as deep as ever death
can be;
Yet, oh! how dear it is 10 us, this life
we live n see.
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent;
So those who enter death must so as little
children sent.
Nothing Is known. But ! believe that God
is overhead:
And as life is 10 the living, so death is
10 the dead.

professors said to an old darby be-
longing to the household wherein the
scientist was quartered:
Tom. II you will watch your chick

they'll all go to rOost at IL o'clock"
Tom was, Of course skeptioal: but at
the appointed hour the heavens were
darkened and the chickens retired to
roost. At this the negro's amazement
showed no bounds. and he sought out
the scientist.
"Perfesser,' said he. how long ago
did you now dem chickens would go
to roost?"
About a year ago." said the pro-
fessor, smilingly.

A college professor in company with
his son, was enjoying a walk in the
country, when he met an old farmer.
1t had been a very wet season, and
the professor thinking to start the con-
versation in a way that would prove
interesting to the farmer, remarked:
There has been a rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat embar-
raised, n the professors son, who
used a different vernacular, though he
was a student in the college to which
his father was attached, attempted to
straighten out the matter. Drawing
the farmer to one side, he said In a
