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 ad
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.

severely. "I wasn't any butterfly, I

"I'll bet you weren't, uncle," agreed

"Well, It wasn't It was darned

"You shouldn't have done It," said
the young man. "Why did you?"
"Why did I?" echoed the man with
the stubby gray mustache. "By George !
I was glad of the chance to do It. I
didn't have any foolish father putting
up for me. It was root little hog or

"I see," said the young man, reflec
tively. "You did It because you had
to. Well, of course you weren't so
much to blame In that ease"
"0, I wasn't to blame, eh? Well,
It's nice to think that you don't blame
me for earning an honest living. Huh !
Not to blame !"
"No. I wouldn't blame you," said
the young man, equably. "If I was
In the same kind of a hole I'd do the
same thing myself, most likely."
"I'd like to see you?" sneered the
elder. "I'd like to see you getting up

"Fakera" and "Faklre."
"I notice that In all this talk and
discussion recently stirred up by Presi
dent Roosevelt concerning the writers
of pseudo-nature stories there is some
confusion as to the use of the words
fakir and 'faker," said the man who
Is fond of being exact. "One person
writes 'nature fakir' and another 'nat
ure faker,' as If fakir and faker were
Interchangeable and meant the same
thing. Such Is not the case. The word
fakir Is of Eastern origin, and was
originally applied to the Hindoo ascetic
or mendicant Then It was applied to
the peoplo who make their living by
street entertainments, such as snake
charming, tumbling, Juggling, and so
on. Since many of these people were
not always honest In their dealings
with the public, gradually the word
came to be applied to the street hawk
ers and booth-keepers who are engaged
In gulling the public. ,
"But a 'faker Is simply a man who
fakes, whether he Is telling a story,
writing an article, or manufacturing
a piece of goods. Hence In writing of
the gentlemen who have been charged
with deviating from the truth in their
nature narratives the proper term to
use is 'nature faker,' not 'fakir.'"

It Far e Be Careful.
The spirit of cheerfulness Is some
times the result of a happy tempera
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity,
Sometimes It Is the abundance of youth
still finding a surplus of vigor after
the tolls of the day. Sometimes it Is
the expression of character which from
the reserves of Its own nature and ex
perience Is able to preserve a cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances; and face life
always with hope, and good cheer.
Such a character Is a strength and a
defense not only to hlm'who has It,
but to all his associates Tnaio all who
feel his Influence. They artiAie watch
towers of humanity, whose lights shine
through the dark night of human strug
gle and whose word Is an inspiration
of hope and encouragement
