NOT SALTS AND
 PILLS. "CASCARETS"
If Constipated, Bilious, Headaehy, Stomach Sour, ct 10 Cent Box of Gas
 carets- Take One Tonight

You men and women who can't get feeling right-who have headache, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath, dizzin ess, can't sleep, are bill ious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disorder stom- ach. or have backache, and feel worn out.
 Are you keeping your bowels clean with Cascarets, or m erely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or rastor oil ? This is important.
 Casrarets work while you sleep; cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove 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 constipated waste matter and poison in the intes- tines and bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning-a 10-cent box from any drug store will keep your stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg ular and head clear for months. Don forget the children They love Cas- carets because they taste good-do Eood-never gripe or sicken.-Adv.

Their mother, now Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, will be among the spec tators.
 The Cleveland memorial is the Pres byterian manse, which the President g family occupied when his father was pastor of the Caldwell Presbyterian church. For this purchase the Me moria1 Association raised $25, GOO Of dents of this town and the rest by a number of wealthy men, many of whom came here today for the dedf- cation. A movement is on foot to raise $25,oo0 more by popular subscrip- ton to provide for its care. Until this money is obtained, and a care taker is installed, the manse will con- tinue to be occupied by the present pastor of the church. The exercises, Hate this afternoon, called for short address by John H. Finley, head of the College of the City of New York and president of the Memorial Asso- citation; a speech of welcome by May or John E1spy of Caldwell; and other prominent men.

New Phenomenon,

A new phenomenon has been OBJ
served by Professor Righi to which he
gives the name of lono-magnetic rota-
ton. In a spark from condenser of
considerable capacity is sent horizon
tally through gas and two small ver-
tical vanes of mica in the form of Il
cross are suspended in the middle of
the discharge of a fine fiber attached
to the center of the cross, the spark
produces no rotation of the cross. If,
however, a vertical magnetic field is
established in the gas, the cross re-
tates through considerable angle if
the gas is air, and over a small angle
in other cases. Professor Right as
cribes this rotation to the bending of
the paths of the ions or electrons, and
to the additional protection which the
vanes afford each other against i'm
pacts from one side rather than from
the other in these circumstances. The
observed rotations indicate that the
effects of the positive ions are in gen
eral greater than those of the mega
tive.

HIS HENS SWIM AND DIVE
Fowl Fancier Declares They Also
Catch Young Trout and Now
Lay Flshy Eggs.

Expert research has disclosed the
reason that patients at the Foresters
sanitarium at Rainbow Lake, N. Y,
have had to complain OF a fish flavor
in their eggs.
The institution has its own poultry
yard, extending to the edge of the
lake, whittier the ducks repair for
swimming and the hens for drink. Re-
Gently the keeper of the hens got up
extra early in the morning and was
confounded when he saw dozen of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
were diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout, which they brought to
shore to devour.
The hennery man, who is also a bio
logist says 1t is a characteristic ac-
quired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
he feels that the flavor of the eggs di-
rectly concerns his own reputation

from the very earliest times men
have conceived the idea Of flying with
wings like birds. There is no reason

would fly. Turning to other latter day
inventions, as they are generally re-
garded, it might be mentioned that
switchback railways were constructed
more than a hundred years ago. and
