Is Woman Too Fresh?

Woman is no longer the salt Of the
earth; man Is. according to the latest
discoveries of science as chronicled in
the Paris Matin. Not since Lots wife
has woman had enough chloride of
sodium>in her makeup. and that is the
explanation of her general inferiority
to man. Woman says science. is too
fresh. The newest conclusion of the
laboratory is that the physical ana
mental development of a human being
depends ON the percentage of salt in
the blood. The blood of TIE man has
more salt than the blood of the woman,
and for that reason woman can never
expect to equal the sterner sex in
physical force. reason or intelligence.
There is in the Mathis scientific dis
cussion but one redeeming assertion In
favor of womanhood-that is. that
since her facial angle is nearer to that
of the higher animals than mans In,
for that reason her senses are duller
and pain hurts her less than 1t hurts
her salty and more intelligent brother.

l,eware Of laxatlves containing aloes !

Beware Of laxatives containing aloes
Aloes aids in giving free and easy bowel
action--but it produces gripping and piles
Many people suffer from piles because
they use some laxative that contains aloes.
There is no law that requires aloes to be
mentioned as an ingredient in a laxative,
so you must guard yourself.
solemnly swear that there is not any
aloes in DR.. True's Elixir. So when you
need a laxative | advise you to take my
own medicine, DR.. True's Elixir.
DR.. True's Elixir is composed of the ex-
tracts, essences and juices of leaves, barks,
seeds and roots of known value for stomach
troubles and bowel troubles. 1t sets the
stomach right and produces free, normal,
easy action of the bowels. Also, it expels
all worms and other parasites from stomach
or bowels, except tape ,.erms.
These wonderful remedial qualities are
combined with delicious, honey-favored
syrup and other pleasant tasting aromatics,
so that DR.. True's Elixir is the incest pos
sible medicine to take. This makes IL
easy to give to children also. They get
