Pinklets Will Really
Correct Constipation

Pinklets are most valuable laxative
in the treatment of obstinate constipa-
ton. They correct this unnatural and
dangerous condition by gently assisting
the sluggish bowels and torpid liver to
regain their normal activity. Their action
is gentle, but effective and thorough, and
they do not cause single grippe. Unlike
harsh, strong purgatives, they do not up
set the stomach nor irritate and over
stimulate the bowels. Because they have
none of these evil effects, they can be
taken with entire safety until the consti-
patton is corrected.
To simply regulate the bowels or to
treat obstinate cases OF constipation,
Pinklets are the ideal laxative. They
are safe for every member of the family
to use. Get bottle today and start try
ing them. Any druggist can supply you
at rs cents per bottle.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?

Many Belfast People Know the Importance
of Healthy Kidneys.
The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities to multiply.
No kidney i'll should be neglected.
There is possible danger in delay.

If you are nervous, dizzy or worn out

fitted me when l was suffering from kidney

War was stalking over the land and the
days were dark and ominous. President
Lincoln followed the old custom of meet
ing the people on New Year with punctili-
Gus care. However disappointing it may
be to thousands who were planning to
grip the President by the hand on New
Years Day, this much must be said, the
New Year reception at the White House
had grown to be almost rout, instead of
a friendly call to wish the President and
his wife good luck for the year. Presi-
dent Taft at his last New Year reception
shook hands with upwards of 5000 peo-
pie and his hand was so pulled up and
bruised that he was compelled to have it
bandaged for a week or more. While
the New Years reception at the White
House has many delightful things to
commend it, it also has its very serious
draw backs.

Potatoes and Wit,

A Cony High school student, Frank w.
Haskell, submits the following as of
actual occurrence, recently, and suggests
that some farmers are up to snuff on
other things than raising potatoes:
An Augusta farmer was digging pota-
toes the other day when a young man
came along and said:
,Well, old man, your potatoes look
Waal, planted red ones."
Looks as if you wouldn't get only half
crop.

The Metaphysical Society.

The distinguished company Of con-
tributors to the first number Of the
Nineteenth Century was selected from
yet more distinguished company Of
which Lord Avebury WAS a. member.
This was the Metaphysical society,
founded by James Knowles and Ten
nyson in 1869. Its members ranged
from Dean Stanley to Huxley and
from Tyndall to Manning, and it's
meetings saw such unusual sights as
the Catholic Manning. supported by
two Protestant bishops. presiding over
discussion among atheists. deists and
fieethlnkers. The society formed the
nucleus Of the band Of contributors
who supported Knowles as editor first
OF the Contemporary and then Of the
Nineteenth Century.-Westminster Ga

WORK Of The TELEPHONE.
Sc Magic Has Enabled We to Snap Our
Fingers at Space.

Just how modern Is the essential and
ubiquitous telephone-now connecting
over a half million houses and offices
In New York city-there is a casual
fine in "Pinafore" which serves to In
dicate. When the kindly chorus is
condoling with Ralph Rackstraw on
his separation from his Josephine 1t
chants these words TO picture the ter
ror of his lot:
mo telephone connects with his dun
geon cell"
The line falls dat today. But pima
fore" was produced for the first time
In 1878, and in 1876 the Bell patents
for the FIRST practical telephone were
issued. Thus when the words were
written they related to a new and
startling invention that was the talk
of the day, and the Gilbertian line was
really a gay, topical jest
II is a safe guess. however, that very
few Of the people who laughed at
"Pinafore" in the seventies fOresaw
what the telephone would really prove
TO be. The years Of the telephone are
few. But already ii has transformed
business method and social intercourse.
The railroads, the fast trains. the tele-
graph. wireless, the automobile. all
helped to make the nineteenth century
a century Of acceleration.
The telephone worked more real
magic than all the rest together. The
discovery Of astral bodies would hard
ly have done more to multiply human
effectiveness and enable us to snap
our fingers at space.-New York Trib-

A man who had wondered what lob
ster twine was found the answer very
simple. 1t is fine quality, stout twine
an eighth of an inch In diameter. made
Of manila hemp and originally intend
ed for making the netted part Of lob
ster pots Lobster twine has come
also to be used on board vessels, both
sail and steam, for serving ropes, for
whipping ropes, including ropes even
of wire. and for various other purposes
for which stout. durable twine Of
this size might prove useful. There is
probably more lobster twine used now

THREE WONDERFUL MIRRORS.
Used In Place Of q Telescope In Mount
Wilson Observatory.

From Los Angeles by trolley car and
burro back up through the pine forests
one reaches the Wilson observatory.
No dome or gigantic telescope greets
the visitor when he gains the summit.
A huge Noah's ark of canvas destroys
all preconceived ideas Of what an OBJ
servatory should look like, and within
three wonderful mirrors take the place
Of the great tubular telescope Of other
Observatories.
The observatory building is con-
structed Of canvas, the sides being set
In the form Of tiers of steeply overlap
ping caves. This arrangement is cal
culated to allow for perfect ventilation
and is REINFORCED by a vertical wall
Of canvas, which can be raised or low
cred at will to obtain an even tempera-
ture.
The peculiar arrangement Of mirrors
that replaces the familiar telescope Is
the center around which all interest in
the observatory revolves. These mir
rors are constructed at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory and are the finest products
Of the opticians manufacturing skill.
The enlarging mirror, which is sup
ported by pier Of stone at the farther
end Of the building. Is Of concave
glass four inches thick. and the scien-
tists tell us 1t Is OF twenty-fOur inch

A Bit OF Cenedy That Won Good Tip
Fro n the Composer.

A story OF Wagner known 10 very

was In a really merry mood. the right
mood for story telling. he used to say
that. being In Berlin on very hot
summers day and finding himself in
the Donhoffsplatz. he summoned one
Of the first class droshkies that were
still fairly numerous Mt that time and
told the driver where to go. His des-
tination was at the very farthest point
Of district within which only the
lowest fare could be demanded.
1t struck Wagner Immediately that
his driver was taking very affecting
leave of one of his fellows. as though
he were starting on a life or death
journey. "Goodby. william" he said;
1--WE sban't see each other again for
a long time"
After the carriage had ratified on for
a good while il came suddenly to a
standstil. The driver got down from
his box on the right hand side. opened
the carriage door and banged 1t to
again; then he went round to the left
side and repeated the performance.
climbed up on to his box and resumed
the journey. At the end Of the drive
Wagner asked him what this dumb.
crambO show meant. The driver. with
a sly look. made answer: 81 just want
ed to bamboozle my old nag. He would
never have believed that the whole
drive was for minimum fare and
would have refused to go on. But by
banging the doors got him to imagine
that one fare had got out and another
got in
Wagner laughed heartily over this
explanation. and the driver, in spite of
his greed, over which the composer
made very merry in his letters. real
lied the handsome tip on which he had
been speculating.-London Standard.
