Immediate trouble, but do not relieve Its
Cause.
The same trouble will therefore recur
again till that Cause Is removed per
manently. The chief ' cause of Constlpa'tion and
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Carcarets are praotlcally to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletlo Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expai.d, and squeeze the Diges
tive Juices out of food eaten.
Cascarets do this naturally, without
purging or discomfort.
They donjt help the Bowels and Liver
In such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
: This Is why, 1 with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding
time instead of Increased, as it
must be with all succeeding doses
of other Cathartics and Laxatives.

Miss Adelbert had Just returned
from a vacation spent at a tiny village
on the Maine coast In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit of a cousin, a quiet person,
who was visiting her city relatives for
the first time in many years.
"There was just one store in the
place, said Miss Adelbert, "and they
kept everything, that Is, everything:
they bad to keep.
"One day I went In to buy some
soap, and just on a venture I asked the
J clerk if they bad Browning. Be stared
at me a second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
"Presently be came back and said,
!?o, miss, we ain't got none. We got
blacking, an' we got bluing, an' we got
whiting, but we ain't got a bit o'
browning in the store.' "
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the cous

A stray cow, picked up by the po

officer out of business and created lots
of fun for the urchins In the neigh

the newly appointed subpolicemnn,
and, wishing to distinguish himself
by an arrest, he determined to take
I the bovine to the station house. Pro
curing a rope, he fastened It to her
horns and started down Cottage Grove

the policeman was sliding down the

on a dead run. The officer was game

then begged off for the night to clean
