Personal Poison Factories.

Numbers of people who live in poor
health do so, writes a medical au-
thority, by keeping a personal
poison factory on their bodily prem
ises. They do not know it. perhaps,
but it is there all the same. This poi
son factory is usually situated in the
nose, the teeth, the tonsils, or the
digestive canal. The dental supply is
kept up by neglected, carious teeth
and stumps, badly cared for plate
or worst Of alD pyorrhea. Septic
tonsils are another common cause of
"toxemia," as ii is called. And there
are those who by persistent neglect
of natural functions turn their bodies
into so many amhulant cesspools.

felt the marshars fingers grasp his
arm. Il got it sized mp proper. Who

the marshal shortly. Better take the
other side; if that door is down wen
take those fellows in the rear ,afore
they know what's happening" He
chuckled grimly. "We've sure PLAYED
In luck so far, boys; go easy now, and
draw yer guns"
They were halfway along the side
wall when the firing began again-but
1t was not the Mexicans this time who
began it. The shotgun barked; there
was the sound of a falling body; two
revolver shots and then the sharp ping
Of Winchester. Brennan leaped past
the boy ahead, and rounded the cor
ner. A Mexican stood directly in front
OF the shattered door peering in, RI
fle yet smoking in his hands With
one swift blow of a revolver butt the
marshal dropped him In his tracks, the
fellow rolling off the steps onto the
ground. With Outstretched hands he
stopped the others. holding them back
out Of any possible view from within.
"Quick now, before that bunch in
side gets wise to what's up. We've got
'em cornered. You, Matt, strip the
Jacket off that Mex, an get his hat;
bunch 'em up together, and set match

that doorway. Come on, Westcott, be
ready to jump"
The hat was straw, and the bundle
Of blazing material landed almost in
the center of the floor, lighting up the
whole interior. Almost before it
struck, the three men, revolvers gleam-
Ing in their hands, had leaped across
the shattered door. and confronted the
startled band huddled in one corner.
Brennan wasted no time, his eyes
sweeping over the array Of faces, re-
vealed by the blaze Of fire on the floor

Millions for a

bling, for new stomach and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
All his wealth could not make him
happy or contented, for happiness large
ly depends upon digestion. Without
health where does happiness come int
After all the stomach plays a great
part in everyday life. Without
healthy stomach and good digestion our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our
heart action is weak, our liver does not
do its duty, and man is miserable and
unhappy. Prevent disease by putting
the house in order and strengthening
the system against the germs of disease.
DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel aud
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y,
years ago understood diseases and their
prevention, and he discovered certain
roots and herbs which were natures
remedies, and succeeded in putting them
up in form that could be easily pro-
cured at the drug store Ciquid or
tablets). This he called DR.. Pierce's

top. They stopped to lunch at Baxter
springs, and to water the team, and
it was considerably after dark when
they finally drove creaking up the
main street of Haskell and stopped in
front Of the Timmons house to unload.
The street was devoid Of excitement,
although the Red Dog was wide open
for business, and Westcott caught a
glimpse of Mike busily engaged be-
hind the bar. A man or two passing
glanced at them curiously, but, posi-
bly, because of failure to recognize
him in the darkness, no alarm was
raised or any effort made to block
their progress. Without Lacy to urge
them on, the disciples of Judge Lynch
had likely enough forgotten the whole
affair.
AS Westcott clambered over the
wheel and then assisted the lady to
alight the face of the landlord was
sufficiently expressive of surprise.

their faces doubtfully. "What the

Timmons, sputtering but impotent to
resist, took hold reluctantly, and the
two together bore the helpless Caven-
dish through the deserted office and up
the stairs to the second floor, where he
was comfortably settled and a doctor
sent for. The task was sufficiently
strenuous to require all the breath
Timmons possessed. and he managed
to repress his eager curiosity until the
wounded man had been attended to.
Once in the hail. however, and the door
closed, he could no longer control him
