A TEN CENT BOX
OF 'CASCARETS''
Insures you for months against
Headache, Biliousness, Con-
stipaption or a Bad
Stomach.

Put aside-just once-the Salts,
Cathartic Pills, Castor Oils or pur-
gative waters which merely force
a passageway through the bowels,
but do no thoroughly cleanse,
freshen and purify these drainage
or ailmentary organs, and have no
effect whatever upon the liver and
stomach.
Keep your inside organs pure
and fresh with Cascarets, which
thoroughly cleanse the stomach,
remove the undigested, sour and
ferHenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poi
sons in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make
you feel great by morning. They
work while you sleep--never grip,
sicken and cost only 10 cents a
box from your druggist. Millions
of men and women take Cascaret
now and then and never have
Headache, Biliousness, coated
tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach
or Constipated bowels. Cascarets
belong in every household. Chill
dren just love to take them.

no nausea - no gripping - no
weakness.
You simply can't have your
liver inactive and your thirty feet
of bowels constipated with sour,
decaying waste matter and feel
well. The need of a laxative is a
natural need, but with delicious
Syrup of Figs you are not drug

entirely of luscious figs, SIENNA

Ask your druggist for the full

limitations. They are meant to de-
ceive you. Look on the label. The
genuine, old reliable, bears the

Sweetens your stomach, clears your head and thor
oughy cleanses your liver and 80 feet of bowels
of sour bile, foul gases and clogged-up waste

All those days when you feel
miserable, headachy, bilious and

sluggish bowels. The days when
your stomach Is sour and full of
gas, when you have indigestion;
the nights when your nerves
twitch and you are restless and

teaspoonful of delicious Syrup
of Figs. Isn't it foolish to be dis

Give your inactive liver and ten
yards of waste-clogged bowels a

an end to constipation.

PARCEL POST
PROVES ITS
WORTH
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-That the
parcel post is more efficient than
the express companies is proved
beyond a doubt here today, fol-
lowing a test made by the Chi
cago Tribune.
This newspaper sent 20 pack
ages by post and 20 by express at
the same time, addressing them
to various localities in the par
eel post zones. In every instance
the parcel post delivery reached
its destination first. Buffalo re-
ported the arrival in one day of
a package sent there by parcel
post and Milwaukee a little over
eight hours.
Comparison was made of rates,
speed of delivery and the condi-
ton of the packages on receipt.
