He has made some wonderful studies of the Duchess which how ever are never seen outside their own intimate circle of friends.

Regular Habits Produce
 a Beautiful Complexion
Daily elimination rids the system of poisons.
 Women should realize that!

N E ANY women complain MI daily of their complexion,
 of their headaches and gen eral ill health, little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more sub ject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it.. The result is seen in lusterless, weary eyes, in saIlow, pimply complexion, in lassitude, bad breath, and in that word so often used, ''indisposed. "
 At the first sign of these synnp- toms the wise woman will take a laxative, and will see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thou sands of women because it is mild and gentle in it's action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel . muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine.
 This combination of simple lax atiye herbs with pepsin, which can be bought at any drug store, is also a very sterling first-aid in colds, levers and other sudden ills

 There seems to be born into the aver age human being an aversion for the snake.

 In this country, California was the first to start in the movement. On the Pacific coast the most destructive agent of the crops, is the gopher, or ground souirrel. As soon as it was learned that the gopher snake lived solely on the gopher, statewide campaign was start

 The mole which is such menace to the lawn. garden and crops can only be an initiated by the snake.
 The rats,~carriers of contagious dis eases, terror of the poultry raiser and wholesale destroyer of all sorts of grain are delicacy to the snake. '
