NOT SALTS, OIL OR
PILLS, BUT CASCARETS
No odds how sick your Stomach;
how hard your head aches or
how Bilious-Cascarets
make you feel great.

You men and women who somehow
can't get feeling right-who have an
almost daily headache, coated tongue,
foul taste and foul breath, dizziness,
can't sleep, are bilious, nervous and
upset, bothered with a sick, gassy
disordered stomach, or have backache
and feel all worn out
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets, or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts.
cathartic pills or castor oil? This Is
important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach. re-
move the sour, undigested and fer
menting food and foul gases; take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the decomposed
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning. Io-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
entire family feeling good for months.
Don't forget the children. They love
Cascarets because they taste good
do good-never grippe or sicken.

Eggs as Perishable Goods.

PHILADELPHIA, January 27-The
Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com
pany was acquitted in the quarter ses-

Of disposing for food purposes eggs that
were decayed.

ment Of eggs from Missouri which were
refused by the consignee as unfit for
food. The company then turned them
over to a commission firm, which sold
them. The company in its defense de-
clared that 1t was not responsible for

commission merchants sold them as fresh
eggs they were disappearing the quail

MALTA FEVER IN TEXAS.
State Will Be Given Federal Aid in
Stamping Out Disease.

Malta fever has slipped into this coun-
try through the back door. and there is
now quite an extensive outbreak along
the Texas border. The Secretary Of Agr1-
culture has applied to the Texas health
authorities to cooperate with the depart
ment in stamping out the disease.
Malta fever comes from drinking the
milk Of goats that carry the germ. Some
years ago, when an attempt was being
made to build up a mich goat industry
in. this country. there were sixty goats i'm
ported from Malta. Two fatal cases of
Malta fever resulted from the use of their
milk and all Of che goats eventually had
to be killed.
No goats are now allowed to be import
ed into this country from Malta, but those
causing the Texas outbreak were sent
from Malta to Spain and thence imported
into Mexico. Most Of the Mexicans boil
the goats milk before using 1t. and there
fore are not subject to the disease. Thus
1t escaped discovery for some time.
