For every violation Of her laws.
Nature exacts a penalty: but she also
has wisely provided relief, especially
for the ailments OF the human sys-
tenn. Since constipation is the most
common of ailments. Nature en-
dowed certain herbs, seeds, banks and
leaves with laxative properties. Early
settlers, dependent entirely upon
Nature, used the extracts from these
plants to relieve and correct consti-
pated conditions.
Over seventy years ago, an old
fashioned Maine country doctor who
didn't believe in harsh cathartics
originated a prescription known as
Dr.. True's Elixir, the True Family
Laxative, which since has given relief
to many thousands OF constipat ton
sufferers.
The herbs used in it's preparation
are imported and of strictly pure
quality: it helps to correct the cause
naturally and relieve its attendant
evils; it purifies the bowels as it
cleanses.
Here is one OF the thousands of
cases where DR.. Trues Elixir has
helped. LAS you have teen a God

Moderate Drinking
Endorsed in Lords
By Kings Physician

London, Aug. g. "a. P. BY MaiD-
Opponents of prohibition in England
have read with interest the recent
remarks of Lord Dawson In the
House OF Lords endorsing the use OF
alcohol by adults In moderation
The occasion was the second reading
of Lady Astor's temperance Dill.
Lord Dawson Is physician 10 the
King.
The speaker always made the pro-
viso that drinking must be moderate
and INDUCED in at the proper time 10
be beneficial. He told of recent
public dinner which he had attended
saying in part:
THE centre table consisted entire
ly of prohibitionists, many OF them
high ecclesiastics. That table was
the one dull, grey spot of the dinner
and if ANYBODY wished to be con-
yerted from uncompromising con-
demnation of alcohol, he would have
been converted by that scene"
Referring to Lord Astor's speech
in introducing the bill, Lord Dawson
said it gave him the impression that
Lord Aston really desired to make
out a case for the elimination OF
alcohol. II should be more happy,
he continued, "if / had heard from
his lips one word of approval Of
alcohol in any shape or form. One
cannot shut ones eyes to the fact
that quite a large proportion OF the
people who support this bill are peo-
pie who look en- alcohol as a harmful
thing in itself. and especially harm
full to youthful persons"
Under the conditions of modern
civilization" Lord Dawson went on,
and in these days of concentration,
the constant endeavor to put IL
hours into six. and the high measure
of specialization. 1t is obvious that
at the end Of such day the mind
OF man gets into one track. He has
no uplift. There alcohol comes IN
very we'll. Alcohol-in moderation
gets that man out of the track. II
lightens his mental touch"
The Kings physician took the eX-
ample of the working man. in these
days of high pressure. who was en-
gagged in the making of motor cars.
He had, perhaps, been using precise
ly the same set of muscles for seven
or eight hours, and consequently had
been using precisely the same cells
of the brain. "Is it to be wondered
at" he said. "that at the end of the
day his brain is in one track?
suggest that there comes in the
moderate use of alcohol. He Is up
lifted. Good beer at that particular
time Of day would help him and not
harm him." He added that a number
Of people at the end of the day
were quite unable to digest their
food because they were too tired.
"a small quantity of alcohol" he
said, makes them feel happy with
themselves and happy with the
world"
There was no time in our civiliZa-
tion." the speaker concluded, when
alcohol. properly taken. served a
more useful purpose than now"

Many Reforms in
English Prisons

London, Aug. IA. P. by MaiD-
Prison reform is popular just now in
England, where ii used to be regarded
as purely an American notion. The
latest thing in prison reform has been
adopted in Wakefield Gaol. with ex-
cellent results, it is said. The prison
which was closed in 1916. has been
reopened as training centre for
adult prisoners.
The underlying idea of the training
Is to teach the prisoners to play the
game" Scarcely a warder is to be
seen. To maintain order the project
system of the English public schools
has been adopted. Solitary confine-
ment has been abolished, and there
is no restraint on conversation at
meal times.
The men all have allotments. They
work in pairs-a man who knows
something of gardening being coupled
with a man who knows nothing about
it. Every prisoner who does we'll is
allowed to grow a border Of flowers
to decorate his room" as the cells
are called. There Is plenty of work
done-nine hours manuel, two hours
mental. Work Is arranged under ex-
pert instructors in the weaving shed.
foundry, builders yard and other
workshops. One hour a week is de-
voted to discussion of happenings in
the outside world on all topics except
crime.

he commend the handling Of tLe
street traffic in London as comma reS
with New York's way Of doing il
The first thing to impress one nm
arriving from New York" he said
'fs the quiet and absence Of hurry
At first thought one might surmiss
that the English are SLOW. and we
have had enough reports to that Of.
feet to warrant our thinking so.
But first impressions, while vivid
are wrong.
There is an absence Of hustle and
noise. but no appreciate sacrifice Of
speed.
AT the crossings there Is no shrill-
ing of traffic officers whistles. no
banking of pedestrians on the curb.
no stopping OF vehicular traffic for
blocks.
1.-THE traffic officer is in the midst
of it all and is busy every moment.
He stands there, calm, deliberate.
almost in a detached sort of way. but
there is precious little that misses
his eye.
Instead Of holding up traffic at long
intervals, the officer seems to keep
it moving along in all directions at
once, and at many of London's cor
ners the all directions is well used,
for streets radiate in several drec-
tons. He directs traffic, rather than
stops it and starts it.
And here is another thing about
the English-their courtesy. They
are anxious to help, and please and
thank you are frequently used words
in the language.
1.-THE bus conductor thanks you for
your lilt NdLlSI lOu lSI

CLEANLINESS TIE FIRST
CONSIDERATION

This is the day Of cleanliness as a
guarantee to health and safeguard
against disease. 1t is particularly true,
as science has demonstrated conclu-
sively. Of all food products. The con-
sumner has learned the value of it,
and has been quick to note its preva-
lence in the various trades. and up
to-the-minute" business houses. This
consideration was borne in upon the
mind of the writer apropos of re-
cent visit to the big palatial-like home
of "Salada" Tea in Boston. He thought
at once of the absolute cleanliness SIS
which characterizes the handling of
"Salada." from the moment it is pluck
ed from the bush along the sunny
mountain slopes Of Ceylon until 1t
reaches the tea-cup of the consumer.
He wondered how much this fact is
really known, and if it were exploited
whether it would not result in a ire
mendously increased consumption Of
tea.
