overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do so If you get a Csc box Of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and
take n each night for a week or 20.

merely cause pleasant easy boweltac-
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well az eliminative organ

accomplished you will not have to take

ton and you can always feel your best,

COST OF WIVES
 HASINCREASED

New York, Oct 27.-The- cost of wives has increased in the far-of Chin Hills of Burma where they are obtained on the dollar down. p1an- men matrimonia1fy inclined are de- manding lower and easier terms from their prospective fathers-in-Iaw, who are compensated for the loss of their daughters labor, declares a report by Reverend J. Herbert Cope, represen- tative of the Baptist Foreign Mission society at HakaL.
 This year lively discussion grew
 out of the resolution that selling of
 daughters cease,'' the report con- tinued "The custom has grown into an abuse. Men are demanding more and more until a young chap who
 rnarries goes frightfully into debt which he is years Hquidating. And,
 if while paying slowly for his wife, the husband incurs the anger of her father, the daughter is promptly called home and in some cases sold 1 to another man. We have been try | ing to get them to reduce the charges
 Efforts to induce the natives to fol | low the customs of white men are be- | ing made in educational institutions opened in these districts as result o1 | the New World Movement of North ern Baptists, pr. Cope said.

But cats do not wear coats. They wear specia1ly-fi and made hats.
