Summer Constipation Dangerous

Summer Constipation Dangerous
Constipation in Summertime
is more dangerous than in the
fall, winter or spring. The food
you eat is often contaminated
and is more likely to ferment in
your stomach. Then you are apt
to drink much cold water during
the hot weather, thus injuring
your stomach. Collie, Fever, Pto-
maine Poisoning and other ills
are natural results. Po-Do-Lax
will keep you well, as it increases
the Bile, the natural laxative,
which rids the bowels of the con-
gested poisonous waste. Fo-Do-
Lax will make you feel better.
Pleasant and effective. Take a
dose tonight. SOC at your Drug

Some Sugars.

The ordinary sugar of COM
merce is known to chemists as
sucrose and is obtained, as is
well-known, from many plants,
chiefly from cane sugar and beets.
The sugar from cane and beets is
identically the same thing and
neither one is any purer or better
than the other, contrary to popu-
lar ideas on the subject. Some
other plants which yield sugar
are ordinary sorghum, the maple
tree, the sugar palm, etc., and
water melons are full of it. But
the only kind of sugar which
competes commercially with su-
gar from the cane and beet is
not the same thing at all but is
made from starch andis known
ordinarily as glucose. 1t is made
by mixing raw starch, usually
from corn, with water, so as to
make . milk, very amall amount
Of acid, such SIS muriatic Or sul-
phurlc, and is then added and
this is run into converters where
steam, under pressure, changes
the starch into mixture Of glu-
cose and dextrine (or gum). The
acid is then neutralized and the
glucose whitened by suitable
means and evaporated in vacuum
pans.
Glucose is found on the market
both in the solid and semi-solid
or syrup form. tits wholesome
product, when properly made,
and the popular prejudice against
it is entirely unwarranted. 1t
probably arose from the fact that
glucose was largely used before
the passage of the food and drugs
act to adulerate materials re-
quiring to be sweetened. 1t is,
however, only about half as sweet
as cane sugar, and as usually sold
contains a considerable amonnt
of dextrine, the latter having no
sweetening power. Glucose got
such q bad reputation at one
time that the makers now usual
ly sell it to the consumers under
the name of "corn syrup" and
various fanciful names, which it
is unnecessary to mention here.
Since a syrup is the evaporated
juice of a sugar-bearing plant,
and since glucose is made by an
entirely different process, the
name "corn syrup" for the pro-
duct, though sanctioned in 1908
by the secretaries of the treas
ury, agriculture and commerce
and labor of the United States,
would appear to be a misnomer.
The consumer, therefore, ought
to fully understand what "corn
syrup" means when he buys it
or eats it.

WAR NEWS CONTRADICTORY.

Contradictory reports of the war
fill the newspapers. An official an
nouncement from Paris, under date
of the 23rd., says: "The enormous
extent of the front and the great
numbers of forces involved, make it
impossible to follow step by step the
movements of each of our armies.
We must await the result other
wise we should be giving to the
press contradictory news" AT this
writing, Tuesday, the greatest battle
of the centuries is raging, or per-
haps ended. However eager editors
and readers may be for news of the
war, we all must wait until some
thing definite has taken place, or
indulge in lot of useless guess
ing.

STAND OF ALFALFA POOR.

One of our subscribers says that
his stand of alfalfa is discouragingly
thin on the ground. He need not be
discouraged unless the weeds and
crab-grass are invading him. A good
healthy plant, six to the square foot,
is a good stand. Every time it is cut
it will thicken up. 1t is not unusual
for one plant to produce from so to
10 shoots. 1t looks thin at first to a
man who is accustomed to clover ard
timothy, but it will thicken up and
cover the ground under favorable
conditions. Alfalfa's great enemy the
first year is weeds. Fight 'em! After
each cutting harrow with sharp
tooth harrow. This will help the
alfalfa as well as destroy many
weeds.

QUESTION IS SETTLED.

We believe that the Statewide Pro-
hibition question is already settled
so far as Tazewell is concerned. The
question VII carry without a doubt.
The only thing to be feared is that
the majority will not be as over
whelming as it should be, owing to
Indifference or negligence. Let every
man vote. If the question is to carry
it should be by complete sweep. The
little State of West Virginia gave
a majority of $4,000 in favor of pro-
hibition. Let the old Mother State

memory is not at fault this same
