Are you keeping your bowels, liver,

Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor OIL or

Stop having bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg

and fermenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
in the bowels.
A CascaTet tonight will make you

are not as large during the current
year as in the past, very satisfactory
results will be attained. The amount
of capital applications for new enter
prises is hardly appreciated. In 1916
about $3.50, 100000 in applications
was made for new oil companies, this
being total of $550,O00.00 since the
war began. Applications for new dye
and chemical concerns were nearly

THE COMMISSION MERCHANT

The newspapers are reporting the
recent convention of the National
League Of Commission Merchants held
at Philadelphia. It is a big organiza-
ton of successful men, with a gift for
organization and executive manage
ment. The public has a good deal at
stake in the efficiency with which
they do their work.
There has always been a good deal
of denunciation of middlemen Not
that any one accuses them Of being
more dishonest than the rest of us,
but there is a feeling that their func-
ton is in part wasteful.
Yet these men could not have built
up these great businesses unless they
performed an economic service They
have grown rich and prosperous, be-
cause they saved the public better
than any existing agency, otherwise
they would not be holding big nation
al conventions and travelling around
the country
retailer likes to buy of them be-
cause they will deliver the goods
when the consumer wants it and of
the quantity, and quality that he
wants. It simplifies and standardizes
the business. The retailer can work

ters
ANY scheme to eliminate middle
men must do one of two things. One
way is to sell food products in big
ger retail stores than can afford to
carry bigger stocks and buy in a
more direct fashion without going
through so many hands. The only
way to concentrate business thus In
fewer hands is to advertise. -
The other way, of getting rid Of the
nliddlemen's service Is for a big sys-
tenn Of storage warehouses to be con-
Quoted in farming districts where
produce can be shipped direct to re-

performed, the big wholesale house

has yet had to meet.

seldom sees the fish in the London

its due share of appreciation the pill

in tins for expectation, the method
used being similar to that used for sar-

stronger. Years ago an attempt was
