Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought of
it, but this disorder is due to lack of
moisture in the residual matter of the
food If you will drink an abundance
of water, eat raw fruits and take lots
of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out of
the system and make a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain S Tablets are easy
to take and most agreeable in effect.
Give them trial.

Interesting Old Egyptian Letters.

Letter writing, fortunately, was
much practiced in ancient Egypt, shd
there are quantities of letters between
persons of all degrees of education
and written on all sorts of occasions.
We may read, for instance, the encour-
agement and good advice sent by pa
rents to absent sons, or may recognize
familiar types of character in the an
swering effusions of children to pa
rents--the spoilt boy who scolds his
father for having left him at home in
stead of taking him to the capital; the
well-conducted youth, who complacent-
ly assures his relatives that he is get
ting on very well, combining study
with recreation, and the prodigal son,
WHO writes to beg his mothers for
giveness and confesses that he has
brought himself to restitution.

Canton a City of Canals.

At Canton, the oldest city in south
ern China, the river is, in effect, canal
ICED, and the shipping is heavy and
varied. The water is deep enough for
ships of 1000 tons burden as far as the
city, but foreign boats come up only
as far as Whampoa, nine miles to the
southeast, where there are extensive
decks. Here the loading and unload
ing is done by native boats. Vessels
of deep draft lie outside the bar. For
ty miles below is the Boca Tigris
(Nouth of the Tiger), and the water
widens into wide estuary. Water di-
vfgles the old from the new town and
surrounds the island and the suburbs,
where the Europeans live, SO that Can
toa has an abundance of picturesque
water life, including a big houseboat
population.
