MAN-A-LIN Is An
Excellent Remedy
for Constipation
There are many ailments
directly dependent upon con
stipation, such a biliousness,
discolored and pimpled skin,
inactive liver, dyspepsia, over
worked kidneys and headache
Remove constipation and all
of these ailments disappear.
MAN-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-lin
is advisable in slight febrile
attacks, la grippe, colds and
influenza.

if in the Dursult of your life's

that vocatlou? If you did persist In It
would you have sufficient confidence In
yourself to retslu your "nerve uuuer

That has been a brief part of the

most daring of the few famous steeple
Jacks" who risk death snd like It
Hlaky" Evans is now W years oia
He Las a wife and a son and daughter
grown almost to manhood and woman
hood. Ilu has a profitable business
which he can pursue without the risks
to be run by steeple climbing. But
risks have been the essence of his Ufa
since he was a boy. He has climbed
steeples aud bulldiugs all over Ameri
ca and baa done some climbing In Eng
land as well. No better fun for
Risky" than to be clinging, In a
boatswain's chair, by slings or by his
bare hands snd feet, high In the air,
with the blue sky beckoning to him,
with absolute confidence in himself and
hi ability to bang on to the merest
projection.
Risky" Evans f a type of the dare
devil that are growing scarcer each
year. The Inveutlons of modern time
have eliminated much of the necessity
for rl-ik which was run In necessary
limbing of steeples snd high buildings
n the earlier days, lie himself has
been one of the foremost In making the
business of those who must work at
high altitudes as safe and as easy as
f they bad solid ground beneath their
feet. Hut still, every once In a while,
"Risky" Bnds It necessary to go to a
great height to carry up a rope on
which to swing a scaffold or to attach
block and pulley, that bis men, less
versed In the art of climbing, may per
form their duties with safety. There
are plenty of men who work at great
heights as nonchalantly as does the sv-
rage person on the ground. Practical
ly any painter must be cool-headed
enough to go hundreds of feet In the
lr without s tremor. Carpenters, ma
ions snd other builder must have the
same contempt for the dizziness that
affects the sverage person who looks
down from a great height Rut even
the work of such men as these pales
before the accomplishments of the few
left In the country of the caliber of
Risky" Evans.

$50 and the time allotted him to ac
complish the feat was half an hour.
Risky" Evana' first real experience
at any great height from the enrth was
n the early ". He was a boy who
loved all sorts of adventures. A bal-
looulst of then national reputation
came to the city which was "Rlsky's"
home. He needed some one to go with
the baloon. In which be was taking up
several passengers, to go down the roe

"It has always been a matter of sur
prise to Die," said a traveler quoted lu
th Washington Star, "that Mexican
cigars and totmoti have not attracted
tbs American taste. Inasmuch aa w are
a nation ot smokers.
"I make periodical trips to our sis
ter republic, and although you might
think It waa tbe back-eyed senoritaa
which first attracted uis in the laud of
perpetual auashlue. It wasu't; It wa
th big black cigars that ran be bought
so cheaply, from th American point of
view. There are but few place lu
this country In tbs cities where you
csn get a resl Mexican cigar, though If
you ask for such some salesmen will
hand out th Porto Rico article of roll
ed tobacco leaf without cracklug a
mile.
"Mexican tobacco baa a flavor pecu
liar to Itself and unHks that of th
real Havana; it Is mors bitter, snd
perhaps soma men would call It rank,
compared with the Cuban product. I
have always likened the tsst for the
Mexican cigar unto that for the olive
It la acquired, and once acquired It
seems to stick. The best Mexican
cigars com from tb province of Vera
Crua, Just ss the beat flavored Cuban
tobacco comes from a comparatively
circumscribed area near the city of
Havan in Cuba, Tbe higher grade
Vera Crua cigars, to my uilud, have a
very flue flavor, and they are com
paratively cheap, a good smoke selllig)
for S cents each, while the price of
cigars In Mexico ranges from 2 cents
upward.
"Although Mexican tobacco Is very
dark, I bars not found It aa strong or
as bard uion the nerves as the dark
tuaduro cigars of Cuban make; It seemt
to bs drier, and, although black, I
not so strong. This is jierhai due to
soil Influences. It wss thought wheu
Porto Rico wss made an American pos
se avion that the tobacco and cigar
from that lslaud would make heavy la
roads upon the domestic aud the Cuban
products. Although the Porto Rlcan
product Is now well sold throughout
this country. It baa Its own particular
clientele among smokers, for that to
bacco, Ilk tb Mexican, Is very dark
and of a flavor peculiar to Itself. It Is
much more bitter than tbe Cuban leaf,
which, like It color, Is no doubt also
due to tbs soil In which It Is grown,
and It does not have that peculiar mil
generis aroma which accompanies the
Cuban article.
"A very fine combination and very
hard to obtain may be made of Mexi
can filler with a Havana wrapper. This
combination gives an Individual flavor,
which, when once enjoyed aud striking
the fancy of the confirmed smoker, has
first call over all other tobacco com
bluatlons. It may be that the expert
ments with Cuban tobacco seed In aome
of tbe Southern States In toll which
the agricultural department has declar
ed bears an affinity to the original Cu
ban soil will produce In a generation
or so tobacco as well flavored as the
real Cubsn product, but I think the
question of the original soil and cli
matic Influence cannot be so easily
solved. In the meantime we will smoke

All who have to do with firearms
kna that the word "caliber" refers
to the diameter of the bore of a shoot
ing piece. Thus a pistol of 2L'-cnHuer
which the bullet Is of
twenty-two one hundredth of an lix
In diameter, while 43-raIlber means one
m-tth a diameter of forty-five one hun
dredths. There Is, however, a more
extended use of the word, wnlcn is un
Hnratnod bv comparatively few people
outside of srmy and navy circles and
gunmakers. "A 50-callber o-incn gun,
says a naval man, "means one that
I fifty times six Inches, or twenty
five feet long, the length of the bore.
Ti. the same way a 10.45 pistol menns
one tbe bsrrel of which Is ten times
the diameter, or four and a half Inches
ton. This nomenclature Is found con
venient because the shooting qualities
ot a piece depend In some messure
on the ratio of Its length to Its dlsme-
ter." Philadelphia Record.

SKIN" DISEASES
HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
VThea the Hood is pure, fresh and healthy, the Lin will Le soft, smooth
and free from tkmislics, but when Borne acid humor takes root I the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get lata the blood, generally because of an inactive or tluggii.li
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and ac ids through tha
pores and glam's of the sUn, producing Kczcma, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. liczema appears, usually
with, a slight redness of the s'-in followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense.
It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds;
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
hard, feathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the)
