PINKLETS
A Dainty Laxative That Gently
Assists Nature.

The day Of harsh purgatives, Of big
cathartic pills is OVERCOME forever. No
need any longer to swallow a nauseating
dose to give nature the gentle assistance
required. Pinklets, the new laxative,
are tiny, pink granules, sugar coated,
easy to take and smooth as velvetin their
operation.
Pinklets positively will not grippe. They
produce not single distressing symptom,
yet their action is certain and thorough.
Pinklets are just the laxative you need
to arouse the lazy, sluggish bowels and
torpid liver. Don't keep on using harsh,
strong purgatives for they always upset
the stomach and leave the bowels irritated
and in a worse condition than before.
Rely on Pinklets to gently assist the
bowels and be free from constipation,
These little pills are a corrective for
bad breath, will clear the complexion
and are recommended for torpid liver,
biliousness, headaches and constipation.
Any druggist can supply you with
Pinklets, % cents per bottle.
Write to the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for a Pinklet
book which tells all about the right way
to treat constipation.

the past season while not as large or as
regular as required was better here than

EGGS AND CHICKS.

port avenue, Alfred M. Ferguson, pro-
prietor, have well equipped. up.to-date
plants representing q considerable OUT
lay and are conducted on the most ap-
proved methods. Mr.. Randall makes a
specially of fresh-laid, large, brown
eggs, shipping daily, and gets top prices.
Mr.. Ferguson, in addition to eggs, has
large sales of day-old chicks and at
Thanksgiving has supplied Fogg's mar
ket with chickens weighing from to
pounds for the local trade, and has also
filled large orders for broilers. There
are many others engaged in this business

their products would no doubt prove
surprise. E. L. Colcord. Northport
avenue has been very successful in this
line, his stock taking premiums at the
county fairs, and he has good sales of
eggs for Matching.
