Constipation And Appendicitis The Latter Usually Caused By The Former, Wtilch, In Turn, Has Its Origin In Intestinal Indigestion. Chronic constipation Is a disease which is about as prevalent as dyspepsia and Indigestion. Nearly every one suffers from it occasionally, but there are millions of people who endure it habitually, and who are accustomed to resort to the use of laxatives and cathartics dally. Many people seemed to have developed a perfect mania for taking pills, and instead of trying to ascertain the latent cause of the disease, and removing It by appropriate treatment, they are content to continue the reckless use of laxatives, aperients, drastic cathartics and violent purgatives, until finally inflamation of the bowels occurs, which reaches the appendix, and the result is appendicitis. In Investigating and tracing the causative factors of constipation and its frequent sequel, appendicitis, it has been noted by physicians that the majority of cases were preceded and accompanied by a long-standing gastrointestinal indigestion. The Idea that appendicitis is brought, on by foreign bodies, such as seers, etc., becoming lodged in the appendix, is an exploded theory. It is now definitely known that constipation is the most prolific cause of this dread disease, while the constipation itself is previously induced by Intestinal indigestion, or amylaceous dyspepsia the Inability to digest starches so the relation between cause and effect Is readily seen and appreciated. The absurdity of attempting to cure constipation by the use of physic should be apparent to every one. Laxative drugs and powerful purgatives will never cure a disease of this sort, and those who make frequent or regular use of them will, sooner or later, set up an Inflammatory condition of the Intestinal system. A person with first-class digestion will never be annoyed with chronic constipation, and when this trouble does exist, instead of slugging the system with pills, liquid laxatives, candy cathartics, etc., use a remedy which will cure the gastro-intestinal indigestion, and you will find that the constipation no longer bothers you, and with its removal, the risk of developing appendicitis will be reduced to the minimum. STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have been the means of curing numerous cases of constipation, by first curing the intestinal indigestion. They digest every kind of food, a single grain being capable of digesting 3,000 grains of alimentum. and in addition to pepsin and other powerful digestives, they also contain diastase, which converts starch into sugar, and readily cures amylaceous dyspepsia and Intestinal indigestion. If you are suffering from dyspepsia, constipation, and, in fact, indigestion of any kind, don't run the risk of getting appendicitis, but strike at the root of the trouble the original cause by using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which will quickly rid you of all functional disorders of the alimentary tract. Secure a box of this digestive remedy from your druggist for 50c and send your name and address to the F. A. Stuart Co., 150 Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich., for a free sample package.

It must be admitted by every fairmin'ded, intelligent person, that a medicine could not live and grow in popularity for thirty years, and today hold a record for thousands upon thousands of actual cures, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, without possessing great virtue and actual worth. Such medicines must be looked upon and termed both standard and dependable by every thinking person. BREAKFAST. It Should Be m Substantial Meal, Says a Physician. It is customary to make the first meal of the day slightly the lightest and distinctly the plainest and simplest of the three. If there be any deficiency of the appetite breakfast is the meal at which this is most likely to show Itself. But this lack of appetite is in nine cases out of ten clearly traceable to sleeping in an un ventilated room or to late hours in foul air the night before or to insufficient exercise the preceding day and is no indication that the body really requires less food at this time. Perfectly healthy men who sleep with their windows open and go to bed at a ressonable hour will tell you that they enjoy their breakfast as well as any other meal of the day. and many even call it their best meal. Another popular delusion in regard to the lightness and unimportance of the breakfast is that widespread subterfuge, the "continental breakfast. consisting of a cup of coffee and some fruit or a single roll. This is a very pretty breakfast as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far. and the sole basis for Its adoption on the continent is that it is only intended as a temporary tldeOTer until the real breakfast of meat, eggs, fish. etc.. which is taken at about 10 or 11 o'clock, like a .very early luncheon. If you haven't got a good appetite for breakfast make it your business to go and get one instead of allowing yourself to be blinded in this morbid state of affairs and deciding that all you really need is a cap of coffee and a roll or an orange.

II. The Disillusionment of Matrimony. ON bis way downtown the other morning Colonel Sneed stopped at his daughter's bouse to deliver a lemon pie recipe intrusted to him with some misgivings by Mrs. Sueed. The front door was ajar, and, assuming the prerogative of a father, be entered without ringing the bell. Young Mrs. Rollins was not expecting a visitor at that hour. Her attire was decidedly negligee. She had evidently slipped into the first thing that came handy when she arose and had deferred until a later and more convenient season most of the essentials of a woman's toilet. It is unnecessary to go into details. "(rood moruin'. honey," said the colonel as he bent down for the affectionate salutation, and then as his eye took in her deficiencies he exclaimed: "Why. child, what's the matter? Not sick, are you?" "Oh. no. papa." replied his daughter, with a laugh. "I'm all right But you shouldn't call on a lady so early, daddy, dear. I haven't dressed yet." "Ub. bub; I see," he assented. "Makes an almighty lot of difference, don't it? Never caught you lookln' that way before you wa9 married. Does does William was you wearin that garb. honey, when be

left you this mornin'?" "Why, of course. J dress before W O breakfast like I ball, can I? I have to do all my housework, and" "Yes, I know," interrupted the colonel, "but but have you got the habit of goln' around like that?" APPEARANCES COUNT I'm afraid I FOB A WHOLE LOT.' have. papa. But what is one to do? It takes time for a woman to dress. I have to get breakfast for Will. 1 can't cook or attend to any housework in my nice clothes, and even if I could it would take me so long to put them on he'd be late to the office. You know I'm without a servant just now, but if 1 had one I don't see bow I could dress for breakfast. Besides, papa, all women go the same way in the morning." "Yes, houey, I know the argument, but have you ever had your photograph taken in that mornin' costume?" "Why, no, papa. Of course not." "And if you had." went on the colonel, "would you want Bill to put It in a silver frame and sit it up on his desk where he could see it al-'Cay?" "The very idea! I'd like to catch him making a show of me that way." "Well, little girl, that's about what he does in fact. He carries a photograph of you all the time. It isn't on his desk, where other people can see it. It's fixed in n golden frame in his mind, and every once in awhile through the day it slips around in front of bis mind's eyes, and he takes a long look at it. It isn't always the same picture he sees. Most of the time it's you as you would like to be seen, fixed up your prettiest, but sometimes it's you as he saw you last, as you looked when he left you in the morntn'. You know, dearie, you're mighty apt to remember a person by the appearance at partin. and the oftener Bill carries away with him a vision of breakfast time dowdiness the oftener it's goin to pop into his "BEFOKX A LOOKQT' GLASS." lew durin' the day until after a while it's goin to throw out the other picture entirely. "Appearances count for a whole lot in this world, and I believe they count for more in a man's feelin's toward a woman than in anything else. In nine cases out of ten It's appearances lone that attract a lad and a maid. That's part of the Almighty's scheme for bringin men and women together. Every girl wants to look her best when her beau's comin around, and that's right, that's nature. Didn't you rig up in the nicest clothes your pa's money could buy for you when Bill was doin' his courtin'? Didn't you prance around before a lookln glass for an hour at a time tryin to get everything Just so and look your prettiest for him? Of course you did. And he's still carryin' some of those pictures around in his head, and once in awhile he gets them out and wonders why there's such a difference. "There isn't any real difference, honey. It's just appearances. You haven't lost any good looks since you married. You're just as pretty and as sweet and as good as you were then maybe a little more so. When you're all fixed up in the evenin I have to admit that Mrs. William Jackson Rollins dont play second Qdille to Miss Sallie Sneed. You're all rlzht then, I"tJe Jxi; you're au right aow.

That would be no more right than for BUI to go down to work in a full dress suit. There's a time for all things, as Shakespeare or Solomon remarked some time back, but 1 don't know of any proper time, honey, for dissolute kimonos, untied ! shoes and unkempt hair. These wrap- j per things tbe womeu have got to wearin' nowndas-s ought to be prohlb-, ited by law. if that would do any good. ' They were designed. 1 reckon, for the hours of luxurious ease and for loung-, In' around in a boudoir. Maybe they ' ain't so bad. But they wasn't cut out 1 for workln' garbs. They're as much ' out of place in tbe kitchen as a velvet gowu. Yet It's got so that half the women in this country fall out of bed every mornin' into more or less soiled and bedraggled kimonos. I think I'd be willln' to see a war with ' Japan Just to get even with her for , this kimono habit. It's a lazy dress, and I tell you. honey. It's downright demoralirln that's what it is. It's so easy to get on it makes a woman careless about everything else. Instead of bein' neat and trim as she ought to be in the mornin. whether she's doin' her work or overseein' it. she gets to lookln' dowdy and sloucby. You can't help it little girl: it's the influence of the garb. And I'd be willin' to bet a horse against a second band burro." and here tbe colonel pounded on the arm of bis chair with bis fist.

So goodby. little girl, and-say. I'll be over this erenln' to see bow you look." It Pays to Do Right. I've noticed and I don't sleep except when I go to bed I've noticed that tbe people who come nearest to bein' happy in this world are tbe ones who come nearest to doin' right. To do right all the time, to do tbe square thing by your friends and your enemies, by everybody as well as by yourself. Is a pretty bard proposition, and there's mighty few I doubt if there's any that succeed entirely. But It's been my experience that It paya to try. and the dividends seem to be exactly in proportion to tbe success. We're all lookln' for happiness. We've got a good many different Ideas about what It is. but whatever It Is we went It. and If we've got boss sense we want tbe brand that'll last tbe longest an' keep tbe best. That brand is especially prepared and reserved for those who do right, or as near right aa they can. Nobody else can get even a smell of It. And there's no Institution or agency that'll help a man to do right like the church. It'a got the right of way on tbe straightaway track. It's got the road all surveyed and charted. There's lots o people in the church that we don't like, and there's lots o' people In tbe church, no doubt, who den't IEte us. But take it all round the fact remains that tbe church people are the best people, not only in the spiritual but In tbe material sense. Don't forget that. Colo nel John Sneed.
