ECLIPSE NEXT SATURDAY

On next Saturday about 1884 O'Clock
in the afternoon, the moon will be-
gin to pass between the sun and the
earth. The moons shadow will touch
the earth first at a point in the Pa
cific ocean, south Of Japan. 1t will
travel northeastward until it is about
five hundred miles south Of Alaska,
when its course will be sOutheastward.
The moving shadow will have traver-
sed about two-thirds of its path when
it reaches the mouth of the Columbia
river at 5:55 o'clock and forty-seven
minutes later at 6:42 o'clock it Will
pass into the Atlantic ocean, near
Orlando, Fla. A little later, about
two hundred miles of the Florida
coast, the eclipse will end at sunset.
The round black spot on the earth's
surface, some sixty-six miles in dla-
meter, will pass South Bend, Wash,
in about 121 seconds; Denver, in about
eighty-nine seconds, and Orlando, in
about fly seconds. The twentieth
century limited may, under favorable
conditions, reach a spede Of sixty-siN
miles an hour. The eclipse shadow
reaches that rate in a minute.
The eclipse is total only in a mar
row strip, but it will be partial over
the whole United States.
Should you care tp look at the
eclipse a piece of smoked glass will
be found excellent to look through.
Take a common piece Of window glass
and hold over a candle until smoked
sufficiently to not hurt the eyes when
you look through it at the sun.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM
HOME WHEN MOST NEEDED

People are aften very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowels, collie,
and diarrhoea require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarahoea Remedy. No physical can
prescribe a better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may save
life

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION

Perhaps you have never thought OF
il. but this disorder is due to Il lack
of moisture in the residual matter OF
the food. If you will drink an abund-
ance of water, eat raw fruits and take
lots of out door exercise, you may be
able eventually to overcome it entire
~. In the meantime use the most
mild and gentle laXativcs. Strong and
harsh cathartics take too much wat
er out of the system and make bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Tablets
are easy and pleasant TO take, and
most agreeable in effect. Give them
q trial.

Good News for
 Fat Folks!
If You Want to Reduce Ten to Sixty Pounds Easily and
 Quickly, Read This

Most fat people would like to enjoy healthful, normal weight. After un- pleasant experiences with starvation dieting, drastic drugging and tiresome exercising, most of those burdened with surplus weight give up hope of ever finding relief.
 At last a home treatment has been evolved, which is so simple that some may doubt it's efficacy for that reason alone. But don't pass judgment until you know more.
 A very easy requirement of this unique system of fat reduction is that you take ten deep breaths each morn ing and evening in the open air or standing by an open window. Take one pil of korein capsule after each meal and before retiring at night; also follow the other simple directions that come with the capsules.
 This treatment often shows mo- ticeable reduction in a very few days. Its consistent use should greatly inn prove the general health, overcome sluggishness and reduce your weight to normal. Beautify figure; add to vitality and efficiency; become gen. timely happy! The oil of korein cap sules may be obtained at the drug store. It is certainly a happy feeling to have a 1.-the, natural figure.
