Effects of Constipation

Constipation causes a stoppage Of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the
system and often poisons the blood
and causes numerous disorders. No
one can afford to neglect his bowels.
A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will
afford relief Avoid drastic cathartics
as they take too much water out of
the system and their use is likely to
be followed by constipation.
For sale by all druggists.

General John J. Pershing has a
family reunion every time he goes
to the theatre in Washington, for
there, on the screen, he meets
Marcella Pershing, his second
cousin, who is now a Universal
player and is making reputation
in fast two-reel western photo
dramas.
Marccila Pershing was born in
Wakita, Oklahoma, seventeen
years ago, a considerable time
after her distinguished relative
chased all the bad Indians away
from her home. When a very
small child her parents took her to
Wichita, Kansas, where she at
tended the Park School. To enter
high school she went TO Kansas
City, where she was one OF the
most popular and surely the pref

School graduating class

the purpose just as well as the flexible

keep In place and would tend to rattle.
Fans Cause Trouble.
Efficient cooling of a motor depends
somewhat upon the condition OF the
fan, or more particularly, the fan
blades. An instance is known where
a mOtOrist had gone over his car and
v e had u repairman investigate to
find out why the motor heated. 1t
was found that three out Of the four
fan blades had In some manner be-
come Strengthened out, sc as to pull
no air through the radiator. although
the fan was being driven by the belt
as 1t was designed to do. As soon as
the blades were turned to their orig
inal position and air was pulled
through the radiator there was no
trouble about keeping the motor cool.
Clean the Fuel Tank.
Don't overlook the gasoline tank In
the matter of cleaning. for at some
time II will be found this is a neces-
sary thing. Here was a recent
that bafled ever the experts, and 1t all
came about because the owner ran
out of gasoline. That was not a great
misfortune, for he happened TO be
near a supply station and the tank
was reflled. But the motor would not
start, although a few moments before
ii had been running. Gasoline would
not flow to the carburetOr, although
the tank had just been filed.
When the gasoline ran out, became
entirely exhausted, even down to the
last drop, 1t carried into the gasoline
feed pipe some little particle of refuse
or dirt that previously had been float
ing OF the top of the gasoline. This
found its way into the pipe and clogged
1t, so as to prevent a flow to the car
buretOr. The remedy was simple
enough when the difficulty was dis
covered. The gasoline pipe was re-
moved and the particle of dirt blown
out. II Is because of this that 1t Is
essential that the tank be cleaned out
every once In a while.
