What THE
Internal Bath
Is Doing for Humanity

Under our present mode of living
the large intestine (or colon) cannot
get rid of all the waste that it ac-
eumulates-so it clogs up and then
biliousness. constipation is the result,
and that lack of desire to do. to work.
to think. ;.
This waste in the colon, as we all
know, is extremely poisonous. and if
neglected, the blood takes up the
poisons and brings on countless very
serious diseases-appendicitis is di-
rectly caused by waste in the colon.
II the colon is kept clean and pure
YOU will always feel bright and capa-
ble-never blue and nervous-always
no to "concert-pitch."
There is just one internal bath
which will keep the colon as sweet
and clean as nature demands it to be
for perfect health-that is, the ]. B.
L. Cascade.
Many thousands are using it and
doctors prescribing it with great sue
cess all over the world. It is now be-
ing shown and explained by Afaeck's

STOPPING EVIL REPORT.

Evil must stop at my door," is
the favorite saying of a keen-minded
woman who not only does a vast
amount of positive good, but stops a
great deal of misunderstanding talk
that comes her way. Tale-bearers
have learned to fear her, because she
quietly and conscientiously insists
that every evil story brought to her
shall then and there be sifted down.
"It is to go no farther" does not
avail with her as a cowardly subter-
fuge for covering up the tracks of
the noisome story-teller. So far as
she is concerned, it not only does not
go any further to trouble other inno-
cent people, but it is traced back to
it's source.
This is only just dealing with those
who are accused in the dark and
have had no chance to answer for
themselves. But it is disconcerting
for the "assassins of character" who
go about stabbing people surrep-
titiously, and who fear nothing sc
much as being called to prove what
they say 1t is a good motto if kind.
ly and not CONTINUOUSLY held. STOP
all the evil that you can at your door
and kill it there, as you would q

A PERPETUAL LETTER.

DIR. Edward Everett Hale used to
tell of an amusing letter once sent by
Thomas Bailey Aldrich to Prof. e. s.
Morse, whose handwriting was very
i11egible. According to DR.. Hale, Mr..
Aldrich wrote as follows:
"My Dear Morse:-It was very
pleasant to get your recent letter.
Perhaps I should have been more
pleased had l been able to decipher
the same. I have not been able to
master any of it beyond the date,
which I guessed at. There is sing
ular and perpetual charm in letter
of yours; it never grows old, 1t never
loses its novelty. One can say to
ones self every morning: Here's
that letter OF Morse's. I haven't read
it yet. I think I'll take another shy
at it to-day, and maybe I shall, in
the course of few months, be able
to make out what he means by those
rs that look like WIS, and those is
that have no eyebrows Other let
tiers are read and thrown away, but
yours are kept forever-unread. One
of them will last a reasonable man a
lifetime. Admiringly yours,

HOME CANNING ON THE FARM.

It is really surprising to know the
amount of canned goods that is con-
sumed during the winter and spring
months, and more so, to learn that
nearly all the goods come from the
large Northern canneries, when all
this stuff can be put up by the farm
ers themselves at practically no cost
at all. Canning machinery was for
merly considered an expensive pro-
cess and too large an undertaking
for the average farmer. Conse-
quently canning plants were rather
sparsely located in the South But
canning machinery has been so per-
fected and simplified that any far
mer, no matter how small his means,
can own an outfit and can his surplus
fruits and vegetables that will sell
on the market in the completion
which the canned goods of. Califor-

A SHADED STORY.

Joseph Alexander is a pickaninny
OF many virtues, but sadly given to
exaggeration. One day when l had
him pulling weeds in the front yard
he ran into the house with eyes big
as moons and cried:
Law, Miss Minnie, what you
think! l dun kilt three big rattle
snakes out in de yard"
<'Now, Joseph" I replied, you
know that is not So"
well, now, Miss Minnie he in
sisted insinuatingly, sit wuz two tur-
rible big snakes, an I killed 'em TO-
.sho'!"
Determined to convict him, in
sisted: You know you did not kill
two snakes, Joseph"
He thought a moment, then said
impressively. Well. now, did kill
one powerful big snake in dat very
front yard
go away, boy, you are an out,

nantly. He was not one whit abash.

WHAT BASEBALL DEMANDS.

Baseball combines quickness Of
action, quickness Of thought, intense
bodily activity and generalship or
strategy, without making extreme de-
mands upon physical strength. Small
and light men make good ball play
ers, as we'll as large and heavy ones.
But all, naturally strong or with but
moderate muscular development must
be trained to the second in quick
ness of action, and must keep in per-
feet physical trim il the game is to be
played at its best; and so high a
standard has been won in the skill OF
major league players that the public
will not tolerate in its favorite sport
anything but the best Of play.-Apri

THE LAUGHTER OF A CHILD.

Like the rurling OF the cadence OF
spring beneath the elm.
Like the chimes that fairies tnkie IN
the dryads' leafy realm,
Like the COO OF fragrant zephyrs born
of southern breezes mild.
Like the harmonies OF twilight. flows
the laughter Of childs
Glad as silver rivers running over
shells OF sunset hue,
Sweet as honeyed nectar dripping
from the flowers wet with dew,
Pure as Iimpid. smiling waters over
messy beds beguiled,
Comes the babbiing OF baby, comes
the laughter Of child!
It's the grooming of the forest; It's
the chanting Of the sea;
IT'S the thrilling OF the mnck-bird
and tie sea-sheIls' ecstacy:
ySTis tie murmur OF the DreeEes kiss
ing beds OF clover wild,
Blended into rhythmic meter! All
the laughter OF a child!
II Is rhapsody Of heaven. diapason oil

Reeded music of the angels as they
watt In ether by
HI is earth and sky and heaven, hope
and love and faith compiled,
For the God of Music triumphed IL
the laughter OF a child!
Where it ripples there Is gladness
where 1t lifts woe will not stay
Love is ever clinging round 1t, Groom

Just to hear the tinkling ripple o
