Things are looking brighter now" " says a Billville citizen. "The sheriff is now my brother-in-law, and he won't levy on my crop; the town doctor boards with me- and doesn't charge a cent for tellin' me that if I don't quit eatin' six meals a day I'll not live to be hundred, and last of all, the head undertaken is my best friend, and has promised to fix me finally.
 T feel that I don't half deserve so many blessings, but I've got 'em and I'm going to hold on to them. Atlanta Constitution

It is too early to form conclusions States is not the only country that has shown assimilative powers. Eng land. on lesser scale, has engaged the San Francisco Chronicle At times she has absorbed relatively large numbers of foreigners and com ent her native-born population Is so much greater than her foreign that the latter is insignificant by compari- son. It is possible, therefore, to speak of British traits with some de- gree of propriety.

SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid of Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caf- feine. This is the drug found by chem ists in coffee and tea.
 A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up cof- fee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes:
 My heart was so weak it could not do it's work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again.
 "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop it, but it seemed l could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration.
 For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly got well. Now do not have any head aches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know 1t is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day, I never thought you would be what you are.' I used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weigh 15S.
 "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again for any money, for believe 1t would kill rae if I kept at it. Postum must be we'll boiled according to directions on pkg, then it has rich favour and with cream is fine"

"JiInmy," said the pretty actress to her actor husband wont you run down to the milliner's and get me the hat I ordered?"
 Sure I won't make a mistaken queried Jimmy, somewhat dubiously, with a caution born of an utter ig- norance of millinery.
 "Oh, you won't" laughed the spouse. My hat is the white beaver trimmed with orchids. You can remember that"
 Gamely he went to his doom. En- terlng the millinery shop, he asked, valiantly; Is my wife's hat ready? l mean the white biffer, trimmed with oh-you-kids?"
 And the French girls in the shop made funny Parisian giggles at him.

Sing Sing prison is to be removed across the Hudson river 15 or 20 miles northward, just eight miles south of West Point. where a large tract of land has been purchased and a gang of several hundred convicts has been working for two years.
 The present prison was also built by conyicts in 1926, with material found on the grounds, but, although it has been enlarged every few years, and is now one of the largest penitentiaries in the world, it is not large enough.

Reports of 6,O61 cases of appendici- tis in Berlin during 1907 destroy a foreign impression that this trouble Is an American disease" Detailed re- ports on Berlin hospital cases bear out the American surgical claim that early operations reduce the mortality rate. By such evidence from an old world center of authority the alien criticism should be still further modi- fled that American surgeons are too ready with the knife.

Lost in Antiquity.

A little fellow who had just felt the hard side of the slipper turned to his mother for consolation.
 Mother" he asked, did grandpa thrash father when he was little boy?"
 "Yes," answered his mother, i'm pressively.
 And did his father thrash him when he was little?"
 "Yes."
 And did his father thrash him?'' "Yes."

 Lorber could not wait for the maneu- yering of the boat, but, seizing a short-handled hatchet, he jumped overheard and swan to his friend.

Constipation and
Appendicitis
The Latter Usuolly Caused BY The
Former, Which, In Turn, Has Its
Origin In Intestinal Indigestion.

Origin In Intestinal indigestion.
Chronic constipation is a disease
which Is about as prevalent as dys-
pepsia and indigestion. Nearly every
one suffers from it occasionally but
there are millions of people who en-
dure 1t habitually, and who are ac-
customed to resort to the use OF
laxatlves and cathartics daily.
Many people seem to have devel-
oped perfect mania for taking pills,
and instead of trying to ascertain
the latent cause of the disease, and
removing it by appropriate treat
ment, they are content to continue
the reckless use of laxatives, aper-
tents, drastic cathartics and violent
purgatives, until finally inflammation
of the bowels occurs, which reaches
the appendix, and the result is ap-
pendicitis
causative factors of constipation and
its frequent sequel, appendicitis, 1T
has been noted by physicians that
the majority of cases were preceded
and accompanied by a long-standing
lgastro-intestinal indigestion.
The iGea that appendicitis is
brought on by foreign bodies, such as
seeds, etc, becoming lodged in the
appendix, Is an exploded theory 1t
is now definitely known that constipa-
'tion is the most prolific cause of this
dread disease, while tine constipation
itself is previously induced by in
testinal indigestion, or amylaceous
.dyspepsia-the inability to digest
starches--so the relation between
cause AMI effect is readily seen and
appreciated.
The absurdity of attempting to
cure constipation by the use of ply
sic should be apparent to every one. ..
Laxative drugs and powerful purga-
tlves will never cure disease of
this sort, and those who make fire.
quent or regular use of them will,
sooner or later, set up an inflam-
matory condition of the intestinal
system.
A person with frst-class disgestion
will never be annoyed with chronic
constipation, and when this trouble
does exist, instead of slugging the
system with pills, liquid laxatives,
candy cathartics, ETC., use remedy
which will cure the gastro-intestinal
nd nI . Ia.
constipation no longer bothers you,
and with its removal the risk of de-
veloping appendicitis will be reduced
to the minimum.
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
have been the means of curing numer-
GUS cases OF constipation, by first cur
ing the intestinal Indigestion. They
digest every kind of food, single
grain being capable of digesting 5000
grains OF aHmentum, and IN addition
to pepsin and other powerful diges-
tives, they also contain diastase,
which converts starch into sugar, and
readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia
and intestinal indigestion
II you are suffering from dyspepsia,
constipation and in fact indigestion
of any kind don't run the risk OF
getting appendicitis, but strike at the
root of the trouble-the original cause
