OUT o. LUCK
Never mindl Just take
Cascarets if Bilious,
Constipated

Everyone must occasionally give to
the bowels some regular help or else
suffer from constipation, bilious at
tackss stomach disorders and sick head
ache. But do not whip the bowels into
activity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need Is
q gentle and natural tonic, one that
can constantly be used without harm.
The gentlest liver and bowel tonic is
"Cascarets." They put the liver to
work and cleanse the colon and bowels
of all waste, toxins and poisons with
out gripping never sicken or in
convenience you like Calomel, Salts,
Oil or Purgatives.
Twenty-Five million boxes Of Cas-
carets are sold each year. They work

QUEUE IS SIGN OF BONDAGE
Remarkable That Chinese Have Come
to Look Upon 1t With a De-
gree of Pride.

If the Germans had won the war,
would they have made us wear pig
tals-in order that they might have
something to yank us around by? And
would they have applied their eff
cheney to new system of punishment,
perhaps with a different number of
yanks for each offense against our con-
quering masters? The zeal with which
patriotic Cinnamon cultivate the
queues that they consider a sort Of ma.
tional distinction, and the fact that
those Cinnamon In other countries who
discard them are forever considered
outcasts is indeed paradoxical. For
the pigtail is a sign of bondage, the
earmark Of conquered race. Cen
turtles ago ancient China had a civili-
cation all its own. But on every side
she was surrounded by warrior hordes
that coveted the riches and Iuxuries of
the more advanced people and
harassed them continually. Finally
overcome by a barbarian host, the
Chinese were reduced to a state of
servility. One of the exactions Of the
conquerors was that the men grow
long queues, by which, as they few
by on their horses, they actually took
hold of the helpless creatures to swing
them before them to the saddle or to
cut off their heads.

BELIEF IN LUCKY PIECES"
Superstition That Seems More Gen
eral Now Than in the Days Be-
fore the Great War.

"That is my luck piece" a veteran
said, as he pulled a shapeless little bit
Of metal out of his pocket with his
regular small change. ''That's a bull
let that just grazed my ear and bur
rowed into a wall right behind me-"
''What sort of luck has 1t brought
your He laughed. "Six months in
hospital from another bullet the very
next day. But 1 married the
nurse, and she's a bit Of good luck,
you bet got into the habit Of car
rying this about; most all the boys
carry a pocket piece of some kind for
luck whether they believe in luck or
not" One man always carries a half
dollar in an inside pocket by itself, so
that If his spending pocket happens
to get empty he would not be alto
gether destitute. There is another who
sews a $40 bill in the fob pocket of
every pair of trousers he buys. In
that way he can never have the bad
luck Of forgetting to change his money
when he changes his clothes. True
he might have the bad luck to forget
to remove 1t when he sent the trous-
ers to be pressed, but-as he phil
osophically expresses it--that would
be good luck for the tailor.
