Why Consultation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they become
obstructed by constipation part of the
poisonous matter which they should carry
off is absorbed into the system, making
you feel dull and stupid, and interfering
with the digestion and assimilation of
food. This condition is quickly relieved
by Chamberlain's Tablets. Obtainable

FRANCE CHANGES ITS
OPINION OF WOMEN OF
AMERICA THROUGH WAR

PARIS, France.-"The American
woman will come out of this war I'M
der an aspect entirely different from
that hitherto given to her by French
writer's and critics." says the Temps.
For so years she was presented
to us by our romancers and dramatic
authors, as an opulent beauty, Of ex-
i travagant wealth, with a madness for
expenditure, with eccentric tastes and
life of audacity.
Did they really imagine that these
little nervous and eccentric beings
that they presented to us, spoiled
children of immensely wealthy fami-
lies, always agitated, thirsting for
pleasure and noise, were the only
American women. To those who have
not the leisure to cross the ocean,
and who content themselves with OBJ
serving the American women among
us, the war viii have unveiled the
real visage of many of them.
1T win be Lerceived that their
ardor to live may also be an ardor to
make live, a passion for devotion to
suffering; that the mania of agitation.
that need for hustle as they call it.
may become the most beautiful OF
activities when it is animated by the
spirit of charity. 1t will be. perceived
that extravaganza in absurd expendi+,
lures may be changed into. sumptuous
largesse for good. .....
The observer will have seen nurses
animated with the most perfect spirit
of sacrifice, passing their time at the
bedsides of our wounded; women put
ting in common their resources to
succor the inhabitants of invaded
regions; others utilizing their spirit
of initiative in the organization OF
charitable works, some trayersing
France to distribute clothing to
refugees. others employed in the hos
pitfalls right up at the front, and all
of them rivalling each other in ardor,
generosity and devotion. The OBJ
servers will then understand that the
ideal they had made for themselves
of the American women, the idea
popularized under the auspices of the
theater and the romance, was decided
ly at fault. They will certainly seize
the occasion offered to them, not only
to rectify an inexact type in our liter
AZURE, but to find among American
women new figures perfectly true and
moving. Both literature and truth
can only gain thereby"
