Tho GIItterIno Dance.

Doris Missioner was affected much
more deeply than she would have
thought probable when she read the
ardor-breathing proposal of marriage
from Bruxton Sands. To say that 1t
surprised her would be to set feminine
intuition at discount She had known
for long time that Sands was in love
with her. and on several occasions had
been perilously close to the necessity
OF accepting or rejecting him
Mrs. Missioner sent reply to Sands

be content for the present. When she

The tension of the situation was re-
laxed by the buzzing OF the electric
bell at the outer door of the apart

door and two policemen were asking
for Detective Britz OF Headquarters,
who was visiting Mr. Sands.

he said to them:

ornaments a little while longer"
When the Hindoos were gone, Brttz

feeling.

Not Salts, Oil or
Pills But "CasCarets''
Nc Odds how sick your Stomach; how
hard your head aches or how Bill
ous-Cascarets make you feel
Great.

Cascarets act as a bowel tonic, not
as an irritant. They are vegetable.
Their action is natural. Their effect
IS the same as the effect of some
foods. They are gentle; no gripping.
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
are convenient; no waiting.
One old way was castor oil. The
effect was to grease the bowels, and
for single day. Oil never causes
the bowel muscles to act. Other ways
We're pills, salts and cathartics. The
effect was the same as pepper in the
nostrils. They flooded the bowels
with fluid. Those fluids We're digestive
juices. And the waste today means
a lack tomorrow.
We knew that the method was
wrong. That the after-effects only
weakened the bowels. But we had no
gentle laxative in the old days. So We
waited as long as We could, then took
a big dose of physic. The method
today is to take one Carcaret at 4
time-just as soon as you need It,
Then the bowels are always clean.
They cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store.
