FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

From an eloquent pamphlet issued
by an eastern railroad we learn OF
new and unsupported uses for dyna-

tasks of extracting stumps, starting
log and ice jams and breaking up

than digging one and ii kills bugs and

A Few 'CaScaretS'
Cure Constipation
Pleasant, Gentle Tho the Most Ef.
fsctive Remedy in the World for
eiupaish Bowels or q Lazy Liver.

In the old days physic was dreadful
-calomel, castor oil, salts or cathar-
tics. And they were worse than they
seemed, for they irritated the stomach
and bowels. They acted much as pep
per acts in the nostrils. They flooded
the bowels with fluids. But those fluids
were digestive Juices. And a waste to-
day means q lack tomorrow. You Sc
cured relief, but you were actually
worse off than without 1t.
It's different with Cascarets. Their
effect is the same as that of laxative
foods, or of exercise. They stimulate
the bowels to natural action No grip
ing, no pain. They act as a bowel
tonic.
The old way, too, was to take large
doses of physic. People waited until
the bowels were clogged. The new way
is to take Cascaret when you need it.
Carry the box in your pocket or purse.
Ward off the troubles instantly. The
modern plan Is to keep at your best.
The old way wasted TOO many good
hours. Get 10 cent box of Cascarets
now.
