Like carbon clogs and chokes a motor so the excess bile in liver, and the constipated waste in the bowels, produce foggy brains, headache, sour, acid stomach, indigestion, sallow skin, sleepless nights, and bad colds.
 Let gentle, harmless "Cascarets'' rid the system of the toxins. acids, gases and poisons which are keeping you up- set.
 Take Casoarets and enjoy the incest gentlest laxative -cathartic you ever experienced. Casca.rets never gripe sicken, or cause inconvenience. They work while you sleep. A box of Gas carets costs so little too.

Swallowed a Pet Chameleon.

Four years ago purchased a chame-
leon at the Wakefield fair, f. H. Sid
ney writes in Boston Evening Tran
script. The little fellow made himself
at home among our house plants and
kept them clean Of bugs; he became
tame and answered to the name of
Mickey. The tiny lizard would come
when we called him; and he kept the
plants free from bugs and the house
clear of flies. On warm days Mickey
would crawl out onto the piazza and
sun himself. One day my neighbours
flock of guinea hens wandered around
my house, and although Mickey had
changed his color to that Of the piazza
boards, the sharp-eyed guineas spied
him and made a rush, and before my
pet could escape one of the guinea
hens swallowed him. l complained OF
the guineas to my neighbor, but he
said his guineas were too well bred to
invade any ones premises; and that
furthermore, lizards were reptiles and
not fit for house pets.

DAME NATURES LITTLE JOKE
Old Lady Seems to Have Played Fa.
Vorites in Arranging Some Gil
matte Conditions.

Nature plays a cruel joke in the diff
ference of altitude of India and Tibet.
Had they been reversed one would
have said that it was a providential
arrangement. The traveller who crosses
the Himalayas from Cashmere has to
climb nearly twice as much as the trav-
eler who comes from the north, be-
cause while India averages only per-
haps 100 feet above sea level, Tibet
averages 10000 feet, and for this rea-
son is called the Roof of the World.
Now, had India had this elevation,
south Of the mighty range of the Him
alayas, and thus shielded from the
north, as well as nearer to the equa-
tor, her climate would probably have
been as temperate as Britain, and one
of the healthiest in the world. While
had Tibet lain as low as India, In
stead of being the dreariest, most in
hospitable of lands, it would, by rea-
son of it's latitude, be one of the most
habitable countries in the world.

orInin of Neck Shaving.

A study of the many necks to be
seen on the walls of the National Por-
trait gallery enables me to state that
the custom of neck shaving, although
said to have been recently imported
from America, was undoubtedly known
and most likely popular in the days Of
AgincOurt.
The portrait of Henry V. shows quite
clearly that his neck was shaved, and
If the king did it it must have been
fashionable.
Most Americans have their necks
shaved, and in one Of Jack London's
novels, the hero, a teamster, on strike.
points out to his wife that he must
patrOnize the barber because he can
not possibly shave his own necki-

OFFICE AT BOISE.

Recognizing the Importance
of giving to the citizens of Idaho
better service in the matter of
payment of Federal Government
taxes, the bueau Of Internal Re-
venue at the urgent insistence of
Senator John Nugent, has est
ablished at Boise, the state cap
ital an officer or Collector of
Internal Revenue.
Taxpayers of income tax as
well as those paying tax on adj
missions, dues, transportation,
telephone and telegram mes
sages, soft drinks, jewelry, and
all other forms of Government
tax, should in the future file
their returns with the Collector
of Internal Revenue at Boise.
In the past the taxpayers of
the state have sent their returns
to the Collectors office at
Helena, Montana. The district
of Idaho has been created out
of the old Montana district by
the Internal Revenue Bureau,
and taxpayers of this state will
no longer report to the Montana
District.
1t is important that payers of
Internal Revenue taxes take
notice of this fact. Besides
having the central office at
! Boise the Bureau has made ar
J engagements to establish service
stations at other principal cities
in the state. This will be u
great convenience to the tax
payers.
Competent officials will be in
charge of these service stations
prepared to advise taxpayers
how to prepare their returns.
This service will be given cheer
fully during business hours.
While the service stations will
: not be in operation for a short
! time due to the great amount OF
: work necessary in the establish
! ment of the central office al
: Boise, taxpayers should forward
7 their returns to the central Of
I flee at Boise, addressed to the
J Collector of Internal Revenue.
Z Prompt attention will be Civ
/ en- to all correspondence in thu
! office. Taxpayers will be ad
] vised through this paper whel
{ these service stations are opene'
! 1t is hoped by the Department
/ that the public will avail itsel
+ of this convenience.

LEGENDS OF THE ELEPHANT
Many and Wonderful Are the Tales
Told Concerning Its Virtues
J and Its Wisdom.

Naturally we talked first about ele-
plants, of which he was almost as
chidishly fond as 1. But in contrast
to my poor knowledge, he possessed
the rich lore of man who had not
only observed hath for many years
with loving interest, but had also lis
tened to the tales of mahout and shi-
kari from Siam to Ceylon. He poured
out hundred gifts from an apparent
ly ineXhaustible store. He told of
"rOund-ups' in Burma, when the wild
herds are driven into gigantic corrals
to be tanned for the service of puny
man. Then, turning to the names be-
slowed by doting mahouts on these
colossal darlings, he pointed out that
In this nomenclature of affection Lo-
tus, or Lily or Pearl was only a COM
monplace, while even Silver Star and
Golden JOY seemed inadequate. Folk
tales too he repeated, among them
the narrative of the wise elephant
that used to be sent out from a GER
tain city the morning after the kings
death to bring back in it's bejeweled
howdah the man 1t had chosen as sue
cessor to the throne. Finally, just
as we were leaving the bank of the
stream, he spoke of the part played by
the elephant in the story of him who
became the Light of Asia. Before the
birth of Gautama, destined to be the
savior of mankind, his mother dream
ed that a six-rayed star from heaven
entered her right side, and of this
star the token was a white elephant
with six perfect tusks. Again, in the
prophetic vision of his father the sec
ond Fear was ten huge silver tusked
elephants, sigGfylng the ten great
gifts Of wisdom, in strength whereof
the prince should shake the world. In
Buddha's middle years an enemy
sought to take his life by sending
against him a raging elephant, but
the animal recognized the good head
of the venerable Omniscient One"
and stood in peaceful alteration before
the divine persOn.-Asia Magazine.
