MAN - A - LIN Is An Excellent Remedy for Constipation There are many ailments directly dependent upon con stipation, such as biliousness, discolored and pimpled skin, inactive liver, dyspepsia, over worked kidneys and headache Remove constipation and a!l of these ailments disappear. M AN - A - LIN can be relied upon to produce a gentle ac tion of the bowels, making pills and drastic cathartics en tirely unnecessary. A dose or two of Man-a-iin is advisable in slight febrile attacks, la grippe, colds and influenza. THE MAN-A-LIN CO. COLUMBUS, OHIO, U. S. A. The Kllniliiut Ion of Fldo.

Word Ftwllnic fn O. The best spellers among the boys and girls may be pardoned If they are sometimes In doubt whether to add es or simply s, when plurallzlng a noun ending In o. There Is a simple rule that governs mien rases, however, and If they would remember that, the doubt would be removed. English nouns end' Intf In o preceded by a consonant takes es In the plural, but those ending In o pre-coded by a vowel take s only. Echo, motto and potato will serve as exam pics of the first, the plurals of which are echoes, mottoes and potatoes. Folio and cameo are examples of the second, the plurals of which are folios and cameos. The words solo, Junto and canto, and a few others, have not been fully anglicized, and they take 8 only In the plural. Another exception Is the word two, which Is usually plu- ralized as twos, though some author! ties prefer twoes. The I.ainb-riant. Old-time travelers In China and Tar tary Hjoke of a plant they found there with the shape and appearance of a lamb. It had, so they said, head, feet and tall distinctly formed, and Its skin was covered with soft down. It would turn about on the stalk on which It grew, and would bend towards the herbage on which It fed, and when the grass, failed, it would dry up and wither away. A singularly shaped plant, recently discovered, shows that there was some foundation for this re markable story. This plant has a woolly covering, and the peasants amuse themselves by trimming It, and adjusting the long silky hairs that cover It, In such a way as to give It the appearance of an animal.

Not many years since a pastor In New York State read In. his pulpit this portion of a hymn: Well, the delightful day will come When my dear Lord shall take me home, And I shall see his face Just then he was stricken with paral ysis nnd died in a few moments. Thirty-three years before In the same pul pit another pastor was readiug the very same stanza when he, too, was stricken and died. Scran Book. A plan for a summer camp of the "open-face" variety Is pictured here, giving boys a very good idea of how to build one of boards and canvas. The Bite for the camp should be very care fully selected, dryness of ground ling the first consideration nnd proximity to a spring or well of pure water being next considered.

Select n level stretch well up the side of a mountain where the de clivity la not too pronounced. After the "camp" has been duly erected and the "fire shed" built (a place where tlve camp fire Is to be made for cooking purposes), a ditch about ten Inches deep and a foot wide should be dug about tlieni Just at their outer base. This ditch Is for the purpose of catching the roof-drain during the rains, and hould have a "lead" dug from the lower side to carry the water off down ths mountain or hillside. nomt dots wno camp every year Dan'a Father Said He Never Would Set the Hirer on Fire. Several years before the discovery of oil at PIthole an Irishman named Mc Carthy and his son Dan came to this country from the Emerald Isle. Dan was n young man of twenty, but his father looked mon him as a mere boy and seemed to take delight in ridicul ing hun before people. "Yis, Dan Is a good b'y," be would say sarca-srtically, "but, Danny, me b'y. yez'll niver set the river on fire." This was his stock witticism, and It annoyed Dan very much, but he did his best and soon surprised the old gentleman by securing a lucrative Job. "lis, Danny has a Job all right," he said "It's $1.50 a day, but the b'y '11 nlver set the river on fire not he." When oil was found at PIthole, Dan hurried to the scene and was soon earning unusually large wages as a teamster. All the petroleum was drawn In barrels, and teams were In great demand. He saved his money, bought an acre of land and soon had a well drilled that was producing 100 1 barrels of oil per day at $10 per barrel. The elder McCarthy Joined him, saw the well, received a liberal gift of money and then shook his head omin ously. 'TIs a good thing, Danny," he croak ed, "ye're (loin well ; but, mark me wormds, yez'll nlver set the river on Are, me b'y." N A few days later a flood wrecked one one of Dan's small wooden tanks, the oil ran down the river, and there was great excitement. As Dan and his fa ther stood on the bank watching the oil float away Dan drew a match and lighted It Pather," he said coolly, "the next tohne yee say OK nlver set the river i jhe was a sweet old lady, but afraid of the confusion of the busy street. As she hesitated, the boy came up. He took off his cap and smiled. "Let me help you?" he said. With the feeble old arm In his, he led her safely over. It cost him only a minute and a little thought. It was a tribute that yputh owes to age. It was simple kindness. It was thoughtfulness, and, of course, politeness, because politeness Is noth- ng but consideration and thoughtful ness of other people. It was sympathy. The feeling that made the boy want to be of some serv ice to the old lady was the same feel ing that makes every one of us who has a heart and Is not ashamed of It want tj help everybody who is down or in trouble or unable to help themselves. And It was chivalry toward woman kind. We all possess that some of it It Is such a tremendous pity, Isn't it, that we are growing so selfish that we haven't always time to be cour teous? There are still places In big, busy America where men take off their hats In public elevators when women are present. Foolish? Porhans. But the spirit that prompts it isn't foolish. It Is only a survival of that world-old feeling that every man owes all respect to every woman.

PURELY VEGETABE Time Table for Clothe. "I was walking on Pennsylvania avenue in Washington one day at high noon when a 'nigger' loomed up on my horizon coming rapidly toward me," said a well-known negro comedian. "He was wearing the most outlandish outfit I ever saw on a human being, on or off the stage. His trousers were frayed and torn above his shoetops. He wore a musk-colored woolen shirt, a celluloid collar and a tattered sack coat On Lis bead was a sombrero which looked as If several dogs had been trying to pull It to pieces.

In the matter of conduct toward hus bands and consideration due to the "better half" there is an especial code of honor, says the Tall Mai! Magazine. It has the stability that sanction by women of all countries gives it, but it does not resemble any code that man would observe toward another man, nor which a woman would employ toward any human except her husband. This code includes the right to search pock ets, consult notebooks, open letters, read those already oiened.

The females usually average about a hundred pounds larger and are yery "stocky" built, seldom being taller than a Merino sheep.

Put few boys want to go to so much trouble and expense, and the floorless, bunkless, window less, "open face" camp, Is Just what they want for a few weeks' outing. Tlefore going luto camp the campers should see to It that everything neces sary for camp life has been supplied. There should be a good-sized mess box of wood, In which to keep the pro visions. Matches should be kept In rubber-corked battles to Insure against dampness. Crackers should be kept In thick paper bags, tied tightly at the opening. Let the bread be well wrapped In paper first, ami outside that a good, thick cloth. In the way of uncooked provisions there should be a Bide of smoked bacon, a bag of meal, one of flour, a can of lard (for frying flsh and game), a sack of salt, glass Jars of coffee, ten and sugar. Fresh eggs can be bought from a near-by farmer, also green corn and new potatoes. If the camping crew cares to consume so much time over the campflre. And they are pretty certain to want all that they are prepared to cook, for living out of doors snarpens tho appetite wonderfully, and boys who eat little at home And themselves while In camp devouring all the food they can lay hands on. The cooking utensils should consist of coffee 'ot, long-handled iron or steel skillet (never use a frying pan; It Is a snare and a delusion), a good-sized Iron pot for 1 tiling corn and potatoes, and a tin pail for holding water.
