YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT.

It is we'll known fact that most all
diseases have one symptom in COM
mon. And all who have consulted OF.
called in a Doctor to treat them know
that one of the first questions asked.
"Are you constipated?" This word is
the keynote. This condition lies at the
bottom of all minor ailments with
which the average individual meets.
Look over the files of any druggist
and the basis of the great per cent of
them all are laxative. The Doctor
knows if you can get the intestines
cleansed and regularity of the bowels
half the battle is won. Nine persons
out of ten can trace the beginning of
their illness to period of constipa-
ton, and indigestion. When constipa-
ton exists it naturally follows :"as
does the night the day" that then
will be faulty digestion. This will
lead to nervous indigestion, then fol-
low in rapid order, dizziness, head
ache, heart futter, loss Of appetite,
and that terrible condition, nervous
indigestion, that makes life miserable
and homes unhappy. .
You who suffer know what all this
means to yourself and family. This
condition can be relieved. There is
way. The chance to be free is before
you and this chance is one that will
cost you absolutely nothing if it t'fails,
a true and tried remedy. The treat
ment used by Professor of the Uni
versity of New York, teacher of
physicians, remedy that is not ga
cure-all" but a remedy that is made
for one purpose only, the relief Of in
digestion. and its attendants ills,

ents used in its preparation are OBJ

Extinction Of the Buffalo.

Speaking of the extinction Of tina
buffalo, the director of the New York
geological park said:
ct is by no means true that the ex-
termination Of the buffalo is due most
ly to the encroachment Of human be-
ings on their feeding grounds rather
than to their wholesale slaughter. The
great bison herds Of the plains, from
Saskatchewan to Texas. were all OF
them exterminated by systematic robe
hunting, hide hunting in summer. kill
ing for tongues and slaughter for all
other excuses imaginable. This oc-
Cured long before any Of their ranges
were wanted by man either for cattle
grazing or for agriculture. The legit-
mate industries of man played no part
whatever in the determination OF the
bison, either west or east. The slaugh-
ter was systematic and deliberate and
far in advance of the agriculturist and
the stock grower."-New York Times.

Mark Twain's prophetic Wish.

Mark Twain's Prophetic Wish.
Astronomy was one Of Mark Twain's
favorife subjects. Neither of US had
any real knowledge Of the matter,
which made its great facts all the
more thrilling. The thought that the
nearest fixed star was 25,000,000,000,-
900 miles away = one-fourth million
times the distance to our own remote
sun-gave him sort Of splendid thrill.
He would figure out those great meas
urements of space, covering sheets of
paper with his sums, but he was not a
good mathematician, and the answers
were generally wrong, Comets In par
ticular interested him, and one day he
said:
II came in with Halley's comet In
1885. It Is coming again next year,
and 1 expect to go out with it. 1t will
be the greatest disappointment of my
life il I don't go cut with Halley's
comet"
He looked so strong and full of color
and vitality one could not believe that
his words held prophecy.-''The Boys
Life of Mark Twain" by Albert Bige-
low Paine, In st. Nicholas.

I: Don't Open Till Christmas

A certain chap in Chicago last
Christmas almost made a reputation
as q joker by using the tags marked
Don't open until Christmas" But he
didn't use them on packages that cost
money. Not much! What he did was
to buy a lot of penny Christmas post
cards, and on each one he stuck tag,
Don't open till Christmas"
Then he sent them to all his friends,
and they were so tickled with the idea
that they never thought about how
cheaply he had got of. Mind over
matter, see?
And nearly as funny as the joke was
the fact that a lot of women who re-
ceived these cards soaked them in
warm water and split them open, or
tried to split them open, in the firm
belief that the cards could really be
opened.

Why Spiders Fight.

When two spiders fight there is gen
orally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
certain time spiders become incapable
of spinning a web from lack Of mate
rial The glutinous excretion from
which the slender threads are spun is
limited; therefore spiders cannot keep
on constructing new snares when the
old ones are destroyed. But they can
avail themselves Of the web producing
