THE EVILS OF
CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to
Which lie or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
targe figure is iu red on the front label.

DEATH THAT IS PAINLESS.

to Pennsylvania.
Death oomes la many forms la ths
anthracite mlnea of Pennsylvania, but
only one form Is painless and pleasant,
and to ouly one the vlctlma go uncon*
sclously. It Is the death of the burning
culm bank, says the New York Sun
Many times during ths year la such
• death recorded when one of these
great culm hanks is burning. The fin
la not seen In the daytime, and at night
It shines only with a faint glow
through the layers of ashes which sep
arate the live coals from the outer air.
To these burning LJhks tramps and
other unfortunates, forced to spend o
night In the open sir, go when ths nights
grow chilly. The warm breath of the
culm lures them on with a promise of a
warm bed for the night, and they lie
down to sleep In the comfortable atmos*
phere of the bank and never open their
eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from the
bank waft over them «o softly that they
are soon asleep, and :a many cases the)
no* tr awaken, being suffocated during
sh night.
WHEN OLD AGE COMES
I
The sense of sight grows most
precious, though often the best
of glasses cannot restore to old
eyes even a portion of their
youthful power. These facts
should impress all with the im
portance of early care for the
organs of sight. Do not wait
till your eyes become impaired,
but have them tested at once, as
often an eye specialist can detect
and remedy in time what might
prove a serious trouble if ne
glected..
