Wor7dg7,s Beauty IS

To Have Health. Bowel Movement Is
Absolutely Necessary How
Best to Obtain II

If womanis beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be 4
picture of loneliness. But beauty Hes
deeper than that. 1t lies in health.
In the ma jority of cases the basis OF
health. and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sailow skin and the lusterless eyes
are usually due to constipation. So
many things that women do habitually
conduce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indtgesttble
foods because the fods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough But whatever the particular
cause may be 1t is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
ouirements, is DIR. Caldwel1's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women
endorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
I041 West Monroe St, Chicago, tes-
titles that she is cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Sy-
rup Pepsin and without the aid of a
doctor or any other medicine. All
the family can use Syrup Pepsin, for
thousands of mothers give it to babies
and children IL is also admirably
suited to the requirements of elderly
people, in fact to all who by reason of
age or infirmity cannot stand harsh
salts, cathartics, pills or purgatives.
These should always be avoided for

MONITORS LOG PRESERVED.

II Was Given to Navy Department by
Captain Stodder.
The original log book of the famous
Monitor. covering the period Of her en-
gagement with the Confederate iron
clad Merrimac in Hampton Roads on
March 8, 1862, is preserved among the
historic records of the navy depart
ment.
The restoration of the log to the de-
partmen. was due to Captain Louis
Stodder of the United States revenue
cutter service and an officer on the
Monitor during her entire service. For
years he treasured the log among MS
most valuable possessions, but as the
infirmities OF age increased he desired
to see it placed where its preservation
might be assured. Hence it was that
he forwarded it to the library of the
navy department.
The entries cover dates from Feb. ~
+o the end of 1862 and tell of the little
..cheese box on n raft" laundering on
Cane Hatteras on Dec. 81, 1862, when
Stodder was acting master, and or her
encagements with the Confederate bat
+eries at Sewall's Point, Hampton
Roads. and at Fort Darling, in the
James river. But by far the most IN
teresting concern the fight with the
Merrimac. Among the entries on Sun

SAL EN-


SALEM. May 3O.-The trials and
exaetfons of the average shop keeper
are many, yet If he has the sense OF
humor there are many compromising
incidents to relieve the monotony and
to give tinge of leyity to gloomy
trials and unusual demands. A case
in point occurred here some time ago,
and also illustrates the exactions and
senseless requests that are often de-
manded of business men. a customer
brought coat to a local tailor shop
demanding that 1t be altered. Upon
inquiry as to the fault of the garment
the customer replied that it fit just
right and perfect when it was on him,
but that it did not hang right. when
hung up. and he desired some altera-
ton made that would make the gar
ment hang artistically upon the wall.
Such discriminating artistic tempera-
ment is rare.
Contractor A, J. Watson. of
Clarksburg, spent Sunday here.
Charles Irons and family, of the
New Fair Grounds addition, recently

JACK AND HIS BEANSTALK.

Once upon time boy named
Jack lived all alone with his grand
mother in a little cabin by the side
of the road.
one morning Jacks grandmother
said to him, Jack. I'm afraid you
viii have 10 take our big red COW
Ia market to day and sell her, much
a We hate to part with her. But be
sure To- sell her to kind man
"All right, Grandmother" replied
Jack. "Tll get a kind owner for her"
So he started down the dusty road
leading the red cow. ON the way he
met a big boy carrying a long whip.
"Tll buy that cow" said the boy.
But Jack shook his head. He didn't
wish 10 sell his COW TO a boy with a
long whip
Pretty soon Jack heard someone
singing. and coming towards him
was a Jolly fat man singing this
song:
III had cow this very day
Id feed her on the fragrant hay;
Dress her in the finest silk,
And gladly drink her nice sweet
milk"
Are you a good MANI" asked
Jack as the jolly fat man stopped
singing. why, | try TO be" he
answered. I'D treat that COW kind
~ if she were mine" "Tll sell her
To YOU" said Jack. Very good"
replied the man. Here is your pay"
and he handed Jack Il bag of beans.
After patting the COW goodby,
Jack hurried homeward TO tell his
grandmother.
Now. Jacks grandmother was not
pleased that he had sold their big
red COW for a bag Of beans, but
there was no use crying over split
milk, so she told Jack to plant the
beans, and they would see what
would become of them.
The next morning when Jack went
out To see how his beans were do
ing behold a beautiful vine had
grown TO the top of the tall chimney.
What a wonderful vine il was, with
many fine large pods. People came
from miles around to see it, and
everybody wanted one like ii. So
Jack sold the pods for five cents
apiece.
Soon he had a bag filled with
money. which he carried to his
grandmother.
Are you not glad, grandmother,
that | sold the red cow for a bag
Of beans?" he asked. "Yes, Jack"
said she, as she pattcd his head,
"and you are the dearest boy
