DON'T LET CONSTIPATION
ADD TO YOUR WORRIES!
As distressing as constipation can be
in "normal' people without special
conditions or illnesses, chronic irreg
ularity can be extremely aggravating
even dangerous in some cases. If
you are on the list, you've probably
been cautioned already by your own
physician, to avoid harsh laxatives
and purgatives. Your doctor may have
indicated concern about the "strain
ing" that goe' with constipation
(particularly in cardiac, high blood
pressure, and similar cases), and he
may already have recommended
Saraka. Saraka works naturally,
effectively, the way nature intended
your system to work gently,
smoothly, without stress or harsh
ness. Saraka is easy and pleasant to
take, after meals or before bed. At
your drug store or drug counter.

Wh
'hen rachel first arrived at the cot

pily at all the wonderful hiding
places and paths that needed explor
ing. The house was perched on a hill
with a fine view of the ocean.
Holiday Storm

The idea of living on an island ex
cited her. The ferry ride, the drive
through the strange countryside to the
edge of the island by the lighthouse,
and finally the discovery of her "own
house" had been almost more excite
ment than a five-year-old girl could
stand in one day.
It was a "tingly day," she told her
father, but the best was yet to come.
Supper was served before a picture
window overlooking the ocean, and
dessert and the sunset came at the
same time! Rachel let out a chocolate
covered squeal of delight as the orange
ball of sun started to sink into the
water directly opposite ler chair!
Even big brother David was Impressed,
though he remarked later that it was
the only time he ever had a chance it
a second helping of chocolate pudding
because his sister was too busy watch
ing the sun disappear,
The next day it was hard to re
member all the things she had liked
so well. Rain clouds appeared early
in the morning, and now al nap time
her room was so dark and the thunder
so loud that Rachel found herself
wishing for her own little bed in the
city. Even the noise of her six-year-old
sister's breathing in He next bed
failed to comfort her, Betsy olitayi
managed to get to sleep so quickly,
Sometimes at night, when Rachel was
ready to play the endless make-believe
games they whispered across the room,
it was always during
Betsy seemed to I
Today Betsy went to sleep even be
fore the thunderstorm started, and
Rachel didn't want to wake her as this,
too, seemed scary, Nap lime stretched
out endlessly, and perspiration started
dribbling down the back of her neck,
It was hard to lie with her hands
covering her ears, but the noise was
so loud. Once Rachel ventured to turn
over in search of a cool place In bed,
but a clap of thunder sent her scram
bling back to the "safe" position of
lying on her back with her hands over
her ears and her eyes shut light,
Rachel could hear the noise of her
mother cleaning up the lunch dishes
downstairs. This was comforting, but
the distance was too great for her to
call without waking Betsy,
David was away at a friend's house
for lunch. Rachel wondered about
that. Would David get wet! How
would he get home in ill the rain!
Daddy had left after lunch to get him,
and Daddy always knew what to do,
but wouldn't even Daddy have trou
ble in this storm?
Back at home Rachel had a room of
her own. It was not as much fun as
sleeping with Betsy, but it jw her
a place to hide her treasures, and a
door to shut when she wanted to be
alone to cry. But here-
It was hard not to cry, but she didn't
want to be a "baby," as Belsy always
called her when she cried, In spite of
herself, Rachel gave one small sniffle,
then another. Holding back the tears
was such a job that she didn't hear
Betsy's feet as they padded across the
room to her bed,
"I can't sleep either," Betsy whis
pered. "I've been c
wishing it would go away!"
A warm glow filled Rachel as she
gratefully moved over to make room
in her bed for her sisler, It was re
assuring to know that she was not the
only one afraid, With a happy sigh,
"she took her hands from her ears and
turned to face the cool wall,
