AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith In it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user a

The most leisurely method of moose
hunting chronicled to date during the
present season is that pursued by a
Mars Hill veteran hunter and woods
man, Humphrey Bridges. Several
hours walk from camp brought him
in sight of hill on which he saw
what looked like a pronged stump. He
stood five minutes specializing, then
crept nearer and looked again. The
object did not move. Creeping six or
seven rods he saw the supposed stump
moving slightly, and then, a large ton
que Topping along side the dark place
revealed the identity of a moose He
aimed for the neck of the animal, and
fired. The moose rose to his feet and
ran. When Bridges reached the spot
where the animal had lain he found
blood all about He sat down, filled
his pipe, and reasoned that the moose
could not last over an hour bleeding
so profusely, knowing if hard pressed

on, keeping close to the trail, and
found the moose lying down in lum-

the place where he was shot The
moose reared on his front legs, but
could not pull his hind legs under him,
and half stood with head lowered for
battle, until another bullet ended the
struggle.

the sound of pattering footsteps upon
the roof, followed by their speedy
flight when the engineer went to in

institution, Charles Dunn, notified the
police that they had broken their pa
