All You Need Is a
Cascaret Tonight
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stom-
ach, Coated Tongue or Con-
stpated Bowels by Morn
ing.

Turn the rascals out-the head
ache, the biliousness, the indiges-
ton, the sick, sour stomach and
foul gases-turn them out tonight
and keep them out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women
take Cascaret now and then and
never know the misery caused by
a lazy liver, elogged bowels or an
upset stomach.
Don't put in another day of
distress. Let Cascarets cleanse
and regulate your stomach; re-
move the sour, undigest.', and
fermenting food and that misery
gas; take the excess bile
from your liver and carry out of
the system all thes decomposed
waste matter and poison in the in
testines and bowels. Then you
will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep. A
10-cent box from any drug store
means a clear head and cheerful
ness for months. Children love to
take Cascarets because they taste
good-never grippe or sicken.

POINT ADAMS, Ore, Sept. 28.
Captains Wickland and Stewart
are the life savers of the Column
hia river bar, the great stream
that divides Oregon and Wishing
ton.
In 20 years these two pen have
saved at least 1900 persons from
water grave.
Not a bad record, ia 1t, saving
10 lives each year.
On both sides of the Columbia
river bar, closing in a seven and a
half mile bay, are stationed the
Point Adams and Cape Disappoint-
ment life saving crews. The Point
Adams station Is on the Oregon
side and the Cape Disappointment
on the Washington side.
During the salmon fishing
months hundreds of small boats
dot the surface of the river, each
carrying two fishermen. For some
reason, the best catches of sal
mon are usually made near the
Columbia bar, one of the most
treacherous in the world.
Because of this, the fishermen
brave death, and often, when the
tide starts running out are carried
downstream and into the Pacific
ocean, despite their struggles.
