Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other iaxauves 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
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in . healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation il 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, caus-
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 . clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

of nine -tenths of the cathartics that arc
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 arc q 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 il put
into it.
These pills contain NO calomel. NO

Says Army Men Owe
Country Four Years

General Woods disapproval of the
resignation of Second Lieutenant Stan
ley NJ. Rumbaugh, of the Fifteenth
Cavalry, was primarily based upon htc
belief that all young officers should
serve at least four years in the army
after their graduation at West Point.
He takes .the view that they owe that
much to their country for the educa-
tion they have received.
The fact ttat this disapproval has
interfered with the wedding plans of
the young lieutenant who wants to
marry Miss Colgate, New York
heiress, is purely Incidental, SO far as
the War Department is concerned. The
fact is, 1t was stated today, Rumbaugh
can go ahead and marry any time he
wants to, but he must remain in the
army four years from graduation.
