Removing the Cause
of Much Sickness

The advantage in taking Foley
Cathartic Tablets is that in addition
o carrying off the entire congested
mass without gripping or nausea, they
thoroughly cleanse the walls of the
intestines and keep them free of all
logging matter.
1t is this caking on the walls of
the intestines that prevents their nat
lral action and function, and is the
jirect cause of so much of the sick
'ess and misery that makes consti-
alton the curse of our present day.
'or it is constipation that is rcspon-
ible for a large share Of headaches,
oppressed feelings, and many other
serious bodily ills
w. A. McRae, an elderly gentleman
wing at Raleigh. Ga, writes: Foley
Cathartic Tablets are the only ones
1 have ever taken that cleanse my
system thoroughly and do not grippe
or hurt me at all They are entirely
satisfactory and wonderfully differ
ent and more pleasant than anything
have ever used"

The Reading Of Books.

Bow are the young folk Of today
to acquire the reading habit? They
all go to school and they are taught
much more about literature than it
was the custom to teach the boys and
girls OF earlier generations. Yet some
how It does not appear that when they
ieave school they read the books writ
ten by the authors with whose names
they become familiar as the great
ones Of the literary world. It does not
appear, in fact, that many Of them
read books OF any kind unless it Ii
the sensational and trivial novels Of
the day. and even these they have lit
He leisure for.
So many other matters take their
attention. The automobile is one
hindranes to the formation Of the
reading habit. The freedom It gives
II more fascinating to the average
young person than any book Of hc-
ton, to say nothing OF anything more
serious. Il invites and knows no

KNEW ALL ABOUT TUNNELING
Ancients Built Some Important Works,
Many Of Them Being Marvelously
Conceived and Executed.

While tunneling is among the most
ancient of enterprises, yet more prog
ress has been made in it the last CEN
tury than in the twenty centuries
which preceded 1t. 1t is now known
that back in the semimythical days Of
the Theban kings the long tunnel into
the mountain rock, expanding at dis
lance of 400 feet or so into some lofty
chamber, was a common work Of
princes. The rock temples of Nubia,
too, and of India show that in certain
matters, at any rate, moderns may still
learn from ancients. Then again in
Algeria, Switzerland, wherever the
Romans went, are to be found tunnels
of all kinds and designed for all pur
poses, for roads and drains and water
supplies. Pliny makes mention of one
notable achievement, the greatest of
its kind in his day, the great tunnel
constructed for the drainage Of Lake
Fucino. 1t was by far the longest arti-
fetal tunnel in the world at that time
More than three and half miles long
1t was driven under Monte Salviano
and required for it's construction shafts
Of no less than 400 feet Some 10000
men were employed upon it for II
years. From the time of the Romans
until the latter end of the eighteenth
century no great advance was made
in tunneling methods. Old engravings
Of mining work in the early years of
the seventeenth century show the pick
ak or hammer and chisel as still the
chief tools employed. With the ad-
vent of the railway, however, tunnel
ing became one of the grand neces-
stiles Of construction, and progress
was more rapid.

wells has percolated through sands and

that its impurities have been removed
by filtration, and it possesses SAM

the bacteria causing typhoid fever and
the protozoa causing amoebic dysen-

for shallow wells that may serve AZ

sence of cinnamon is said to destroy
the typhoid fever microbe In twelve
