The Stomach and How
To Cure Its Ills, Free

More thought is being given to the
stomach todav than to any other or
gan. Dieting and a hundred other
things are suggested. but the fact re-
mains that we have to eat and that in
the main we are eating the same food
today that has been eaten for hun
.reds of years. The point, then, is to
find a way of remedying an evil when
we find it.
There comes time in the lives of all
of US when a laxative is necessary, only
with some this requirement occurs more
frequently than with others. But whether
the occasion is frequent OF rare it is i'm
portant that you take a simple, natural
remedy. The farther you get away from
the man-made tablet or pill and the
salty purgative water the better. You
want something that combines the virtues
of a laxative and tonic, something that
is sure in its effect and yet pleasant to
the taste. remedy containing earth
grown vegetables and plants. Such is DR..

why Water ouenches Thirst.

Thirst Il word of Anglo-SaXou origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torrid or parched, describes 4 peculiar
sensation of drynesS and heat located
in the tongue and throat. Artificial
thirst may be produced by the passage
Of 4 current of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts. but normal
thirst is the consequence of a lack OF
liquid in the system. The agony of ex-
IRENE thirst is due TO the fact that all
the tissues Sympathize in this distress.
1t is then as a refreshing relief that
q supply of water comes to thirstiEg
lips. replacing what has been lost. cool,
ing the parched palate and rapidly
removing the craving which has de-
pressed the system. In short. water
quenches thirst just because it supplies
what at the moment is wanting and is
most eagerly desired. so that solomon
could properly compare the gift of
cold waters to a thirsty SOUL to the
advent of good news. Thirst is to
some extent appeased by the injection
of water into the blood or body. though
no fluid touches the part TO which the
sensation is referred.

Tariff Comparisons.

Despite President Taft's statement
that the tariff bill was a fair and
equitable one there are persons from
Missouri and other places as well who
have studied the bill carefully. Two
passengers landed from the same
steamer the other day. meeting the
customs officers. One had diamonds
worth $1,000 and the duty for bring
ing them in was s1o0. The other had
cases containing 1000 work shirts. in

on those shirts was SG01.G0 a little
more than GO cents per shirt. to he

millionaire club man brought over a
yacht which had cost him $780, 900 in
cash on the other side, and it was
listed to port 70 the tune of $35. 600,
in the way Of tariff charges. At the
same time a large importer got an in
voice Of $100, 900 worth of stockings.
and the tariff charges We're SS7 $50.
No wonder stockings are higher this
year. a 5000 automobile carried
with it a tariff tax of S2,250, but a
$4,000 lot of yarn was knOtted up into
the meshes of a tariff charge of S.
$50. One traveller got stuck on the
champagne Of the old world and
brought home enough of the sparkling
vintage to invoice 81 600 and the tariff
charge was but $500. Another man
liked the wooden blankets of Germany,
and believing there would be a good
