Courage at Death.

the relating in a letter of tho final

In France alone there are 100000
refugees in rags, Most OF them are
returning TO the ruins OF their former
homes to find their farms and villages

little fires in roofless houses. And the

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by cathartic. Most ofTthem
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral waters
and strong cathartics that take too
much water out Of the system and ag-
gravate the disease they are meant to
