Consti pated all His Life
Vow Cured Trial Free

One OF the most harrassing of trout
bles, though fortunately not fatal, is
constipation, and millions of people
suffer with it from infancy to old age.
Its cause may be traced to any one OF
a dozen different circumstances OF
diet, environment and even birth.
Millions are practically born with
cons tipation. Had they used intelligent
methods at the beginning perhaps they
would have found relief. but they had
the usual misfortune OF bad advice.
They tried dieting, stewed fruits, then
laxative waters, then pills and various
other cathartics, and SO in the end
made matters worse. But there is still
hope. even for the seemingly hopeless.

dressed young man came hurrying in
to the station, passed by the woman,
went to a forward car and jumped
aboard. Although not a glance passed
between him and the woman, the mo
ment she saw him she went into the
coach and took a seat.
I ran forward to where Horton was
watching, described the young man
referred to and told him to keep a
sharp eye on him.
"Everything is working WELL" / said,
but keep your wits about you and
don't make a move until you have
good reason to do so. If you nab the
wrong man the right n may get
away while your attention is taken up
on a false scent"
While l was giving these instruc-
tons the train moved out, Horton
stepped aboard, and as soon as my car
reached me l did the same. The WON
an was sitting apparently unconcern-
ed, but she couldn't conceal from me
the fact that she was striving with a
hidden emotion. Her bosom was heav-
ing and her eye was restless. She
kept rearranging her belongings on the
seat, and l was quite sure she was
doing so in order to help her to retain
her composure. One thing that es-
pecially gave her away was her con-
stantly opening a hand bag. taking out
a bottle of smelling salts and using it.
/ had no doubt the young man who
got aboard the forward car was our
quarry, but I didn't propose to lose
sight of the woman, thinking that she
might have some of the swag on her
person. But since the most important
part of the matter seemed to lie in the
man in front l went forward. took
Horizons place and told him to go back
and take mine. The train was schedul-
ed to stop but once between Albany
and New York. and that was at Pough-
keepsie. Since we were moving at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour there was
no chance for any n to get off until
we reached that station.

When I went into the detective bust.
ness in Albany, N. Y, I took service
with a firm that was managed by a
very experienced man. He had the
reputation of having cornered more
crooks than any detective living. l
was anxious to show him what l could
do and soon found an admirable op-
portunity.
There had been a bank robbery, and
$4,000 in bills had been taken from
the bank. A few days later on, re-
porting at the Office, my chief said to
me:
Were on the track Of the man who
robbed the til National, and I wish
you to nab him. We've been watching
the trains leaving the city eve since
the robbery was committed for any
suspicious person trying to get away.
The consequence is that our quarry
hasn't dared to try it. But he's been
given away. If these rascals would
only treat the women they take up
with decency we would not catch so
many of them. I have a letter, evil
IDENTIFY written by a woman, stating that
Andy Sims. alias Charley jenkins, alias
Trusty Joe, is tho man who robbed
the bank and that he has planned to
leave the city by the 10 o'clock train
tomorrow morning for New York. He
will be accompanied by his mother.
He has engaged passage under a icti-
tious name on the Northumbria for
Southampton. The money he took
from the bank will be- carried in his
boots. Take Horton with you and
look out for an old woman and a
young man. OF course he'll be dis
guised.
Horton and I loitered beside the train
before it left the station. keeping u
sharp eye on every one who got
aboard. A few minutes before leaving
time a woman whom roy practiced eye
told me had been made up came to-
ward the cars, but instead of getting
aboard stood looking back anxiously as
if expecting some one. Presently q we'll

THE UNSPEAkABLE RAT

The Winona Independent has been
making a study of the rat problem
and it is mighty big problem
in some communities and it has
found that the rodents destroy an
nually something like 1000, 900
worth of the peoples property.
Moreover, they do damage in other
directions which is not measurable
in money. They carry disease germs
which infect the human body and
frequently cause death.
The rat has history. He origi-
mated in Asia, probably in China.
He had not appeared in this country
when the Declaration Of Independ-
ence was promulgated. He ap-
peared in California in 1849.
Rats appeared in England in 1913.
They were first discovered in Paris
in 1850. They increase rapidly. On
2,OOO-acre estate in England an
effort was made to exterminate
these pests; 81, 971 were killed and
there was enough left for seed.
Rats carry the germs Of bubonic
plague. Trichinosis in hogs is trace
able to rats. They are charged
with responsibility for the hook
worm in the south, They spread
pellagra-a disease counted as bad
as leprosy
Dogs. cats. owls, poisons, rat
proof buildings. traps. electrocu-
ton; rat catchers and dozens of
other agencies are employed to
catch these pests, but they only
aucceed in checking the numbers.
To exterminate rats entirely will
mean at least nationwide cam
paign on tremendous scale. Man.
