The majority of people suffer from constipa-

causes coated tongues, bad headaches, foul

that has worked wonders for men, women and
children since 1851.

no assurance that reduction of freight
and passenger rates will bring any
marked increase of business. Yet they
also complain that they are losing money
as things go today. If things arc as hope
less as they appear under present con-
ditions. why not try changing the condi-

Railroad wages have been cut. The ma

roads have been reduced in price. The
public has a right to expect that reduc-
ton in freight and passenger rates will
follow before long.

There is much speculation as to the
nrogrpss being made in drilling Cal
houn No. 8, near Gibsland, because OF
the policy of absolute silence which Is
being maintained by those connected
with all the operations in connection
with the test. 1t is the belief OF some
that oil has already been discovered
while it seems to be the belief OF some
that il is a trick of some kind Tor tht
p,lrpose of getting more acreage before
completing the test. 1t is evident tina
the company has confidence in the
test as it continues to buy acreage il
that vicinity.
