 Stop having bowel wash-day. Ler Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the un- digested, sour and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the decompnsed waste matter and poisons in the intestines and bowels.

with another pocket, and keep this up until he had his money distribut- ed all over his clothing.
 The man stepped out of the hall way and started off up the street when Emerson gasped to Mack, q know that fellow. have seen him in Baltimore, and he is a big race track man who wins fortunes every where" Mack was not particularly interested, but Emerson was. and as Hurst went on up the street Elm erson walked faster, and overlook him.
 II know you," suggested Emerson kindly, as he tapped Hurst on the shoulder.
 No you don't, never saw you be- fore, answered Hurst.
 But met you in Baltimore" an- swered Emerson.
 Never was there, nor that far east" answered Hurst, and after some explanations and apologies they parted.
 Emerson then explained who Hurst was, to Mack, the victim, and told him he was sure. Emerson believed Hurst was trying to cover his identi- ty the better to beat the peol room in Little Rock.
 Half an hour later they ran into Hurst again in the hotel lobby, and Emerson about the former incident, and later admitted he had been in Baltimore. He sheepishly admitted lie was there to beat the pool rooms and was working for the American Association of horsemen, who were cleaning the pool rooms to revenge themselves of being legislated out of business.
 How about a couple of dollars for me suggested Emerson.
 All right" answered Hurst, and handed Emerson two dollars in silver from his pocket.
 No, l didn't mean l wanted you to give me two dollars, but to bet two dollars for me- answered Emerson, and Hurst agreed.
 Hurst went away awhile and caine back with SIP. He said the horse had been 5 to 1. and he had won a large sum for himself He gave Elm erson the SIP, and Emerson of course wanted to know if there were any more races.
 Certainly" answered Hurst, who then explained to Emerson that he was getting too well known in the pool room, and Hurst handed Elmer son SlO0, and told him to bet it at ? to l for him on the next race. Elm erson left, came back. said the bet was on, and later went back and came back where Hurst and Mack stood, bringing the $500.
 Emerson wanted to know if there was another and Hurst had another cre. This one would be 5 to l. Elm e:son wanted Mack to get in on this one. Hurst confided he would bet

s2 O00. Emerson and Mack could bet S1 .000. Mack was induced to put his certificates of deposit as a guarantee that a check for s1,000 would be paid, and the wager was made.
 The information came back the money was won. They had s12,000 to their credit. But the pool manager would not pay until the checks were .ooked up
 The next day they rode Mack here to see about the money, and didn't get here in time He was put in an automobile and rode around the city and taken back on later train. There was a misunderstanding that served temporarily, until late the next alter noon.
 Then Mack was gotten out of their room on some small errand. and when he returned Hurst told him of get. ting orders to play heavy on another horse, and that Emerson had gone to see about betting their money. Finer son came back soon and said he had bet it all, and they would get 5 10 for 1t. Emerson and Hurst talked over the matter, and the odds. Elm erson figured what they would have at the odds.
 You didn't bet the money for the horse to win2'' gasped Hurst.
 Certainly" answered Emerson,
 Then Hurst tore his hair and raved The infromation was to have bet the horse for second place. The money would ali be lost. He would lose his job. Woe, woe, wee. Emerson ap- peared excited also. Mack probably was too terrified to join in the demonstration
 But to get rid of the victim they kept him in the room until Emerson wagered a 5000 check on another horse. and won a large sum, and was to give back the money to Hurst and Mack they had lost in his mistake That won too, but Emerson had to go to Baltimore to get the money, and Hurst got telegram to go to Chi cago, and both told Mack to go to San Antonio and wait And he did, and waited

So each Cay from Thanksgiving till

message
This is a.. the gift you get from
