 Trace the origin of the commoner ills of life and almost invariably you will find that constipation was the cause. It is not to be expected that a mass of fermented food can re- main in the system beyond its time without vitiating the blood and af- fecting the nerves and muscles. It .ongests the entire body.
 The results are colds, levers, piles, Headaches, and nervousness, with it's accompanying indigestion and sleep essness. There is only one thing to do, and that is to remove the trouble; md when nature seems unable to do t, outside aid is necessary. You will ind the best of all outside aids a remedy that many thousands are now using for this very purpose, called Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin.

Having settled upon the canoe and
become fitted for the task Of managing
it. the next questions which arise are
the route of the cruise and the manner
of spending the nights while en- route.
Doubtless these will in reality have
been settled long before this point in the
programme is reached. but that is inn
material The amount of money to be
expended is also naturally factor.
There are many reasons why one
should choose for first cruise the
"ragin' canal" as one old lady called
the Morris and Essex Canal when she
learned that the writer and the Cute
Frau proposed taking their first cruise
on it. To begin with a canal is safe
and sane" There are no problems in
volvng hidden rocks or treaCherous
shoals or landing places. There is almost
no current. 1t is not wide enough To de-
velop bad water when the wind blows.
The shore is always within reach. What
ever beauty of scenery the section Of
country traversed possesses can he thor
oughly enjoyed from a canal, for like
a railroad track the immediate fore
ground is sure to be clear Of under
growth.

Sammy cry thief that usually they think
