Take Care of Yourself.

If you wan. clear head and good
digestion you must not let your
bowels become clogged with poison
Gus waste from the body, as is al
ways the case when you become con-
stipated. Proper food, an abundance
of water and plenty OF outdoor exer-
else should keep your bowels regular.
When that fails you should take
Chamberlain's Tablets. They cause a
gentle movement of the bowels and
are easy and pleasant to take.

one elbow on the desk. and the fingers
of the uplifted hand were thrust into
his thick mop of hair.
Smith had his own keys and he let
himself in quietly through the door on
the side street. The night-watchman's
chair stood In its accustomed place in
the vault corridor, but it was empty.
To suspicious person the empty chair
might have had its significance; but
Montague Smith was not suspicious.
The obvious conclusion was that Mr..
Durham had sent the Waterman forth
upon some errand: and the motive
needed not to be tagged as Interior.
Without meaning to be particularly
noiseless, Smith-rubber heels on tiled
floor aSsistlng-was unlatching the
gate in the counter railing before his
superior officer heard him and looked
up. There was an irritable note in the
presidents greeting.
'Oh, It's you, at last, is it?" he
rasped. You have taken your own
good time about coming. It's a half
hour and more since sent that note to

shade of the militant antagonlsm In
Mr.. Watrous Dunham's when he said 4:
Il was dining at the Country club with

The president sat back in the big
mahogany swing-chair. His face, with
the cold, protruslve eyes. the heavy
lips, and the dewlap lower law, was the
face of a man who shoots to kill.

Smith nodded.
Then you also know that the bank

The young man in the stenographer's

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp-Root. Many of our customers
have informed US at different times that
they have derived great benefit from itz
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted a great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as ths
gentleman's life was despaired Of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally a specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good. / at last induced him to try your
Swamp Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means OF creating an
increased demand for your Swamp-Root
with US.
