LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized he Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard.
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con.
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of piece OF wire
of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profess
sor Mcmillan of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what It
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck In the
ground and voice talking to an IN
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning, the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
tion work OF his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

But the second letter, written after
week In the new school, was quite
different in tone.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD L
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 way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, cnus-
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
coHipleAlon UT ENJOY 8oou Hedltn. IL
l had my way I 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
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverlsh
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.

Can't Get Away From IL

Is 1t possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks up part of the
brain each day. Why don't 1t all disappear
and leave empty skull in say month OF
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain fag and nervous prostration result
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is 1t from air. sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about It, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In good variety but not in suitable
proportion In ALL
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
ly OF lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure In growing child.
Likewise II we would feed in sklllful man.

for strength and rebuilding we must first know
what the brain is composed of and then select
