The New Laxative

IF other laxative remedies disappoint
you, try Pinlllcts.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules,
easy to take, do not grippe or irritate but
gently assist nature.
Strong, harsh purgatives defeat the very
hope of a cure by leaving the bowels dry
and the constipation becomes aggravated.
Pinklets slightly stimulate the stomach,
thorough digestion being essential to the
cure of constipation.
So gentle and natural is their action
that there is no fear Of continuing the
use of Pinklets too long. They never
lose their helpfulness. They can be
taken with any other medicine.
Pinklets are recommended in cases OF
torpid liver, biliousness, constipation and
headache, to clear the complexion and
whenever a gentle laxative is required.
Every druggist can now supply this
new laxative. =

the dust and dampness. The saving
in the cost Of cleaning and pressing
clothes can quickly be estimated, and
not only on the cost of these opera
tions, but in the wear and tear result
ing from them. A garment hung on a
suitable hanger in one Of these bags
assumes it's original shape; in fact, it
practically presses itself. The bags
can be opened as often as wished as
the clasp that holds them shut can be
operated by child. The accessibility
of single garments without having to
rout out chestful is another advan-
tage.

A PAPER WARDROBE.

Bags Made of Cedared Paper Protect
Clothes from Moths and Dirt.
People who could afford to have
cedar rooms in their homes have al
ways been considered fortunate by
those who had to adopt other means
to keep their clothing from the de-
precautions of moths and from dust and
dampness between seasons. Now that
the paper wardrobe SHOWN in the IL
lustration has been invented, anyone
may have these advantages for little
money. This form of wardrobe con-
sists of big bags made of cedared
paper, which are redolent of that
odor of cedar which no se1f-respecting
moth can abide. They are also so
constructed that when closed they are

one Ingredient in S. s. S. that so stimu-
lates the cellular tissues throughout the
body that each part selects its own es-

This means that all decay, all break
ing down of the tissues, is checked and
repair work begins. S. S. S. has such a
specific influence on all local cells as to
preserve their mutual welfare and afford
a proper relative assistance to each other.

You can get S. S. S. in any drug store

Aviator Makes Aerial Trip fester-
day in the Rain.
c. Murvin Wood yesterday made a
flight Of sixteen minutes in his Mols-
ant monoplane, the Bluebild, in spite
of the rain. During part of his flight,
Mr.. Wood was above the clouds. He
started from the parade ground at
Fort Myer, in drizzling rain, short
ly before 6 o'clock. 1t required only
six seconds for him to leave the
ground, and his machine climbed so
fast that it was unnecessary for him
to circle the field to gain altitude.
Residents along the Potomac again
we're favored by Mr. Wood. He start
ed from Fort Myer for the river, and
along its course for several
miles before he turned. AS he reach
ed the parade ground the machine
was almost obscured by clouds. From
$500 feet Mr.. Woo3 descended in a
sharp volplane- towards the. ground.
The m6ndplanc was directed away
from the fort, and watchers who had
not seen his former flights thought
that he hai made forced landing. He
disappeared below the skyline, but
again few into sight, this time at an
altitude of about 500 feet. During the
sixteen minutes of his flight, Mr..
Wood maintained nearly seventy
miles an hour. He covered about
twenty two miles.
When The Bluebird had been taken
into the riding hall Mr. Wood ex-
planned his sudden descent. He said
Mat he had risen above the level of
the lower clouds and had been envel-
opel for several inmates in mist so
heavy THAT his goggles had been
.cloudcd. Then he rose to level at
which, while he coulH see clouds both
above, and below, the atmosphere was
clear. and the temperature was prob
Iably fifteen degrees colder than on

ternoon and placed the alleged de-
serter under arrest He was locked

band with forging checks on the cam
teen at Fort Hunt.
