ing of these muscles upon the intes-

Stop all pills, powders and other stuff
at once. Get an empty shot bag. Put
into this bag about four pounds Of
buckshot. Sew up the end Of the
bag. When you go to bed place this
bag upon your abdomen-the belly
and by a movement of our ~abdon1in-

This is really a massasing OF the liver
and intestines. Drink all the water
fast. If YOU will go through the
same massaging in the morning you
will sooner get back the lost tone Of
your intestines and you will not feel
the need of pills or potions.
But even with all those natural
methods n sometimes needs a mild

to Il natural condition.
But the best OF all laxatives is fruit.

fact. the latter fruit is the best nat
ural laxative you can use, for it costs
but little and can be obtained
throughout the year.
Nature demands that man should
help the intestines in their work. All
foods prepared from the unbolted
meal of the cereal grains are laxa-
tives. Graham bread or brown bread
prepared from unbolted wheat meal
is the hest for continued use. 1t is
the hest complexion maker next to

wheat for breakfast will almost al
ways bring about a healthy state of
the intestines. OF course, it must be
eaten regularly.
If YOU do not care about a good
complexion. a sweet breath. good
spirits. which always go with perfect
health. then avoid drinking water in
the morning and take tea. paralyze
your intestines by the use of calonel
or any drug store cathartics. eat
dougllnuts for luncheon instead Of
vegetables. bolt your dinner and
tighten YOU stays, go to bed with
soda water mixed with chemical eX-
tracts floating in your stomach. and
restlessly toss in a room from which
you have excluded the fresh air.
But if you want brightness. the
bloom of health. the ability to work
with pleasure. a smooth skin and
strong muscles-then don't do these

REDUCE TIL. WASTE.

Usually it is only after :; city has
been the victim of a destructive fire
tina the authorities awaken to the
necessity Of taking steps To prevent a
repetition of the disaster. Philadel-
phia. however. is now engaged in the
sensible work of locking the stable
door before the horse has been stolen.
The committee on FIRE prevention. APP
pointed a short time ago. is now hard
at work drafting a plan which is like
~ tn he put into effect in rhiladel-
phia with Il view to reducing the fire
waste to a minimum.
II has been pointed out that fire
waste in the United States and Cana
da is about ten times that of western
Europe. II averages about $3.50. OOO.-
600 yearly. with s150.00o. 900 added
Expense for protective measures de-
mandcd by the continuous and in
creasinS loss. In one year the fire
waste would pay one-guarter of the
interest-hearinE debt of tbs nation;
in Two years II would pay for the en-
tire construction of the Panama ca
nal.
Some particularly interesting facts
or fire prevention were given recent
" in an address hy Powell Evans,
who has beer active in the crusade
to turn civic insurance reduction
committees into fire prevention COM
Mittees. He pointed out that the loss
from the FIRE in TIL state capitol at
Albany was $4,000, 600. and quoted
ono of the officials, who was in he
building when the conlagration start
cd. as saying:
"The fire at this time could have
been put out with a pail "~ TWO of

thing ia serve the purpose. The night
Waterman ran downstairs tn sound
the alarm. there being no alarms in
the building. MEANWHILE. We had 10
stand there watching for the fire de-
partnlcnt 10 respond to the DELAYED

Mr.. Evans argues that the onlv
way to bring about fire prevention is
to induce the authorities and all citi-
zens to make a STUDY of the subject;
to draft q plan for fireproofne the
city. and to make the contents of
buildings. as we'll as the buildings
themselves. fireproof. He admits that
the subject is too large for quick di-
gestion; that it involves alarms.
sprinklers. architecture. and MANY
other elements. The essential thing
at present is to arouse the various
communities to the great waste from
fire and the need for reform. ;

If YOU wish to nave healthy intes-

There is a constant twisting and

propulsion of the food through the
whole tract where it meets with its
various digestive fields and those nee
essary to separate the portion needed
to nourish the body and leave the
useless to pass on and finally out of
the system.
1t is the general idea that lae
stomach digests the food. The stom-
ach has very little to do with dises-
ton. Its principal function is to pre-
pare the food for digestion. 1t turns,
and through its muscular movements
mixes h food, while its glands pour
out acids and other fluids to make
the mass fit to pass into the intes-
tines. where rca digestion takes
place. AS it moves on through TWEEN
tN-tive or moro feet of the intestincs
this mass of food is attacked at diff
ferent places by juices. each of which
instance. the bile. which flows from
the bile ducts and which is always
being made by the liver.
The bile really acts in normal guam
titles as a soap washing out the in
testines.
Now. anything which harms or dis
turhs the muscular action of the in
testincs. or causes an increase or de-
crease of the juices which come from
the intestincs. will, of course, iniurc
your digestive powers: and this
means YOU general health. Cathar-
tics or purging medicines will do this.
Many drugs advertised to take off fat
are really nothing but powerful cath

weight through their purging action,
and then YOU keep thin because your
digestive tract - the intestines has
been injured to such an extent that

100000 souls, are dependent upon and

supporting these is estimated at almost
S2oo.ooo,ooo, that is, one-tenth of all
wages paid by the manufacturers OF
the entire United States.
TINS, it seems to us, is not correct
estimate. By taking into consideration
those who often are underfed, poorly
clothed, and improperly housed the
total would be brought up to fully
100000 of our population. Besides,
one-half of the inhabitants of this
country own no property and at least
