UPLIFT OF CIOCIARE

The ciociare, or children of the field,

never migrate. The sobriquet of cio-
clare came from their sandals, which
are called "ciccie," a name finally Civ

come-between Naples and Rome
The dress of one differs from that of
another in color only. Each wears
the velvet bodice mellowed by age,

white cotton blouse, the voluminous
skirt, and the fancy apron with it's
elaborate wool embroidery The young
boys are equally picturesque in their
knee trousers of blue or red velvet

a soft felt hat set coquettishly on one
side of the head, protecting the long
mass Of blue-black hair Even the old
men, with green or purple clothes and
long cape cloaks, keep up the illusion
of living old masters.
In these days of compulsory educa-
ton one can hardly realize the igno-
rance that exists among these ravish-
Ingly beautiful ciociare. Many of the
fairly intelligent people in Italy can
not read nor write, so that lack of
even a smattering of book knowledge
is not matter of surprise, but the
ciociare's intellectual horizon does not
extend farther than that of an Ameri-
can child of three. They seem to live
from day to day. like birds of the air,
careless and unhampered, with no
thought of the morrow.

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 gripe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver

these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion

bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing bihousness, 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. If
] had my way 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 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

TEXAN NOT AFRAID OF BEES
Charles Potchenick Appears to Have
Unusual Control Over Busy Little
Honey Caterers.

San Antonio, Tex.-Charles Potche-
nick, employed by the Maverick apia-
ries near this city, appears to have un-
usual control over bees. He handles
them with as much apparent ease as
one would in playing with kittens or
a harmless pet. He Is used to their
ways and appears absolutely oblivious
to the fact that they can sting.
While working with them he goes
bare-armed and bare faced and pays
no attention to the insects as they
crawl over his exposed hands and
arms or pile up in great clumps on
his face.
Recently he had picture taken
holding a small limb in his teeth on
which swarm had settled. The bees
formed a kind of long beard hanging
below his waist and his entire face
was covered with those that crawled
from the limb. Old beekeepers say
that his feats in handling bees are the
most remarkable in the world. He
claims he has not been stung in two
years.
