exploded across the tracks from the
station at $50 o'clock Just beyond
him stood several others. As usual
those in charge of the blasting opera
tions had warned everyone to get TO
shelter before the blast was fired.

more rocks to fly than any other of
the hundreds that have been exploded
| during the months of the rock blasting
job. a piece of rock weighing about
| 100 pounds struck Berganini on the
! right leg and smaller pieces struck
| him elsewhere on the body and head

with pain.
Another piece, weighing 80 pounds
ftuw through the air, struck the plat
form in front of the bay window Of
the ticket office, gouged out pieces o.

And the Basis OF Her Health and VigOF
Lies in the Careful Regulation
of the Bowels.
If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics. every woman would be
picture Of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. It lies In health. In
the majority 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 sal
low skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods be-
cause the foods are served daintily and
they do not exercise enough. But what
ever the particular cause may be 1t Is
important that the condition would be
corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
Qufrements IL DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup
