An Age OF Paper Values
From individual issues and bank
issues OF paper money it was only
a step to government issues. Prac-
tically every civilized government
now has its paper money. Bits of
paper largely carry the tremendous
money burden Of the world. In

billions of dollars worth of light
paper money circulate while heavy
hard money remains in sacks in
treasures or merely serves in linz
tied quantities for small change.

while Europe. having forgotten
the negotiable documents Of Baby

CONSTIPATION

There is way of overcoming the
tendency to constipation. And here
is how you can PROVE it.
The next time your bowels need
any assistance. don't take the first
laxative that comes to mind. Take
one the druggist can assure you is
made with CASCARA. Just as eff
fective as using force. and it's good
for the system. Indeed. It helps
make good blood. For cascara is
nothing but the bark of a tree. The
Indians chew this bark. and live to
an old age without a days sickness.
What happens when you cascar-
ize the bowels? They will usually
function we'll for SEVERAL DAYS,
One more dose-no larger. and per-
haps smaller than the first-and the
bowels function Of their own ac-
cord for still longer time. Until
