A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, b3d 4
jefferson Sts.. Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l had my way l would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
prrgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
It; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

PASTOR SEES A GHOST

Later on in his address Rev. Mr.
Eaton announced that the ghosts he
had seen were In his minds eye, that
they were "subjectively" but not "ob-
1ectively" real.
I'VE can generally trust our FIVE
Senses" declared the pastor, follow
ing his astounding introduction, but
not always. There are moments when
we cannot tell whether what we expe-
rience has its origin within the soul
or whether 1t comes to the soul
through the senses from without The
apostle Paul could not always tell
concerning himself. He said that he
was once caught up to paradise, to
the third heaven, and he couldn't tell
whether he was in the body or out of
the body.
Ghosts are In the minds eye. They
are subjectively real. but effectively
they are not real at all But whether
real or not they exert mighty infiu-
ence over the minds of some people.
The study of ghosts is study Of
the science Of mind. 1t is pursued in
our day under the terms of psychol-
ogy. mental phenomena, subconscious-
ness. automatic expression. psyche
therapy and other similar terms
There ia a vast amount of thinking
and of real investigation in recent
years upon the mysterious thing we
call the soul.
The growth OF language ia a sign
of mental activity. The many and
differing terms used In describing
mental processes show the activity of
thought
Suppose some one who had been
dead for 100 years should suddenly
come to earth and with only the
knowledge of terms that were familiar
to him when he was formerly on the
earth and some one would try to talk
to him In the terms familiar with us
today-Xray. ether. an airline road,
phone. wire. cable. wireless, liquid air.
trolley. biplane. monorail-what con-
| fusion would result

EX-SENATOR 80 YEARS OLD

Recently George Franklin Edmunds,

the active days of his public life, he
now divides his time between Phila-

Fifty-seven years ago Mr. Edmunds
entered the Vermont legislature and
after service extending until 1862
resigned to resume the practice OF
law. In 1866 he was elected to the
United States senate. serving contin-
uously until 1891. His name will best
be remembered by the Edmunds act,
which provided for the suppression
of polygamy in Utah and the disfran-

was also the author of an antitrust

CHURCH HEAD AS a WITNESS

Sugar company. For the head of a

time to devote to AFFAIRS of purely
secular character
President Smith has reached his
present high stage of efficiency by
sedulous attention to business. At s
years old he welded a goad over an
OK team when the great exodus OF the
Mormon sect from Illinois began. He
worked at manual labor in Utah; he
was a missionary to the Sandwich
Islands; in 1858 he was ordained high
priest and member of the high coun-

was missionary Of the faith in Great
