WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by Dr. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, will so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, if any,
further'need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
procured In any drug store. Your
name and address on a postal to DR..

On these islands, divided by narrow
channels of deep, still water, opening
out here and there into lakelike la
goons or wider riverlike spaces. and
with shores all clothed with pines to
the waters edge, the people live their
summer life. On the banks are many
pretty villas with tiny landing stages
among rocks which rise sheer out OF
fathom deep water. Some of the little
islands are Joined to larger ones by
picturesque bridges. while red and
white and green restaurants are set
about among the pine trees.
Surprising all other beauty is the
indescribable northern twilight with
its wonderful tender blue shot through
with glowing pink. The light Is clear
and bright. SO much so that one can
see everything distinctly, can read
and write with ease, and yet 1t is not
daylight. nor could it be mistaken for
such. One can sail in and out for

ROUGH STONES AS
CONCRETE FILLER
Space They Take Up Saves Sand
Gravel and Cement, Giving
Solid and Firm Wall.

In any section of the country where
rough stones of almost any character
can be secured and hauled as cheaply
as sand and gravel 1t will pay to use
them as filters for concrete work.
A neighbor of ours has built a barn
foundation BY using rough stones as
filler, with the result of saving fully
one-half of the cost OF construction.
On our own farm rough flint stones
all the way from the size of walnut
up to as large as a peck measure are
to be had with only the trouble OF
picking them UP. These rough stones
we are using in all of our concrete
construction. except for surfacing. The
space they take up saves sand, gravel
and cement, with resulting wall OF
floor as solid and firm as one of all
finer material.
Using rough stones as filler In solid
concrete construction is similar to
laying brick or stone in mortar. The
only difference is that forms are used
and that the stones are all hidden
when the work is finished. Sand and
cement are all that is needed. al
though gravel. too. may be used in the
wet mixture.
Make the forms as usual for any
kind OF concrete work, and shovel In
the wet sand, gravel and cement mix.
ture. On this soft mixture place
layer of the rough stones OF all sizes
and shapes. They must be clean of
soil so that the cement mixture will
stick to them. Cover the layer of
stones with more of the wet cement
mixture, and spade" the sides to
make smooth surfaces and to settle
the mixture among the rocks.
Use rather slushy concrete SO
that 1t will more easily run among the
rocks for filling vacant spaces and for
firm binding. Continue the process.
layer after layer. till the wall is fin
ished. One layer of stone is all that
lis needed for a floor. walk or steps.
