Constipation.
None of the ills to which human
beings are subject has more victims
than constipation.
It is therefore a matter into which
everybody ought to look rather care-
fully.
The intestinal tract or tube is that
portion of the human machinery which
starches and fats are digested and dis-
solved, and digested foodstuff absorb-
ed as it proceeds to nourish and sus-
tain the body, and it also is the sew-
er through which flows the current of
waste matter.
It is very important in any kind
of a sewee that this current should
move freely and without obstruction
and the human sewer is no exception
to this rule.
When obstruction occurs in the sew-
er of your town you are well aware
that the consequence is an effusion of
foul gases into your house, overflow
of offensive material and injury and
damage in a variety of ways.
In the same manner when the hu-
man sewer is obstruoted, foul gases
are generated, waste and poisonous
material le absorbed and distributed
over the body of the blood current,
skin diseases break out, you are bent'
over with pain in your abdomen and
the resisting power of your body to in-
fectious and other diseases is_lowered.'
Many diseases which have a fatal
ending trace their beginning to this
common and so often neglected ail-'
went—constipation,
It is quite as important to keep
the intestines free from poisonous ma-}
terial as it IS to supply it with the
food which is essential to life.
What is the situation—here is a
tube thirty feet long the last third of.
it the large intestine, the reservoir for
waste matter, two or three times the
caliber of the other two thirds, the'
small intestine,
In the large intestine also are valves
and folds, greatly increasing its capa-
city while the entire intestinal tube
is so elastic it Can easily be made to
hold gallons of material,
If this material is piisonous you
can guess at its possibility for harm.

Many people would deny that they
are constipated and yet they suffer
from auto -intoxication and aro as-
tonished at the great quantity of of-
fensive matter they have been carry-
ing about when their intestines are
emptied by means of drastic purga-
tives.
In order to be free from constipa-
tion and its bad effects it is therefore
imperative that the intestines should
be emptied once or oftener every day,
the e'!ceeptions to this rule are few in
number. The solid or indigestible
residue of some foods is greater than
of others and the work of digestion
Is more completely performed in some
persons than in others, this being the
explanation whys there can be no fix-
ed standards as to the normal daily
output for the intestines.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
E. M.-1—Can the appendix be
located on the left side? I have a
dragging pain, occasionally, in this
part of the abdomen, and have had
It during the last three or four
months.
2—Will vinegar or lemon juice
harm the hair?
Answer—1—It would be unusual
for the appendix to 'be transposed
from the right side, where itbelongs,
to the left side, although I believe it
has occasionally been found there. It
is more likely that you are suffering
from gas in the intestines, or from
adhesions, than from a displaced ap-
pendix.
2—I do not think that either vine-
gar or lemon juice would work either
harm or benefit to the hair, but I
would suggest that it would be better
not to use either.
A Reader—Will you kindly inform
me whether a leaking valve is a seri-
ous heart trouble, or whether it can be
cured and, if so, how?
Answer—It is sometimes serious
and sometimes it is not very serious.
I' would suggest thilt you send stamp-
ed and self-addressed envelope and an
article on Valvular Disease of the
Heart will be sent you, which will in-
form you in regard to this disease.
MORE HUN VANDALISM.
Germans Wreak Vengeance in De-
struction at Chateau Thierry. '
Evidence accumulates that during
their brief stay in the Marne salient
the Germans indulged in wholesale
acts of vandalism, In c message sent
from French army headquarters, the
correspondent gives details of their
conduct while in possession of Chateau
Thierry,
The Germans were in the 'town for
some time and apparently thought
they would remain there indefinitely.
When they found they would have to
give it up they apparently detetmined

Power. The injurles which have been
inflicted on the town are such as
could not be the result of shelling, the
correspondent points out, as those'
houses which suffered most were en-
tirely uninjured by shell, shrapnel or
bullet. Ile says:
"These houses were magnificently
furnished, the walls hung with costly
tapestries and admirable pictures.
The furniture was of exceptional ele-
gance and impressive mirrors and
charming statuettes wore numerous,

it were that way now,"
"That was just old Sam Pitts'
idea," said Henry Brock, with
chuckle. "Sate was a character in th
neighborhood where I was raised, H
had a tannery, which I suppose woul
be considered a nuisance in some
places nowadays. But no one thought
of objecting to that. What the
neighbors did complain of at one time
was a dog that was of no earthly use;
but at night he would bark louder
and longer than any other flog that
I ever listened to. It was impos-
sible for the neighbors to sleep when
old Major was having his say; and
finally some of them got up courage
to go in a body to old Sam and re-
emon'strate. Sant was a crotchety,
quick-tempered old fellow, and the de-
legation was not well received.
'As for that dog,' says Sam, `his
barking doesn't trouble me or my wife,
and we're nearer to it than you are,
If anything, it kind of helps me to
doze off at night. If other people
are silly enough to be disturbed by it,
it's no concern of mine"
"Old Mrs. Pitts,' by the way, was not
only very lame but quite deaf, which
perhaps partly accounted for hhertolex-
ance of the dog.
"My father tried to reason with
Sant. Now, Mr. Pitts,' he began, 'I'm
sure you want the good will of your
neighbors—a'
"But at that the old man blazed
right up. 'No, I don't,' says he, 'I
don't want to see one of you on my
place again. This is my property,
and me and my dog will make all the
noise we want to on it,'
"Well, thgt night it seemed as if old
Sam were trying to make his words
good. It was bright moonlight
Major's howls carried two miles, and
now and then you could hear Saar
apparently encouraging him.
- "Along about eleven o'clock poor old
Mrs, Pitts came dragging herself into
our yard. , 'For mercy's sake,' she
called out, 'do come over and help
Samuel out of an awful scrape!'
"We hurried over to the Pitts's
place, where some of the neighbors
joined us, Leaning against the roof
of the tannery we saw a ladder, and
about halfway up it there was old
Sam, held like a prisoner in the stocks.
"He'd been , up fixing the roof by
moonlight and had started to came
down the ladder, back to One of the
rungs had given way, letting him
partly through, but leaving him wedg-
ed in- like a half -open jackknife and
Oita 'unable to help himself. He had
been suspended there for nearly two
hours when we released him, and he
was stiff and sore, and also hoarse.
The first thing ]le did was to shake his
fist at the dog, which had stopped
barking at Last.
"'The critter kept up such a rack-
et that I couldn't make my wife hear
me nohow, said Sam. 'Louder I
yelled, louder he barked. Finally
she missed me and came out of her
own accord, and then had to go for
help; and in spite of what I said to-
day I was mighty glad to see you on
my place again.'
"I'Ie made no further apologies; but
after that night Major's voice was
stilled forever, and Sam was at peace
with his neighbors. I guess he had
learned that sometimes a man's per'•
sonal liberty really depends on a lit-
tle outside interference."
Keep the Flowers Growing.
Oh, keep the flowers growing in, our
gardens,
In No Man's Lend them is no living
green!
Near all that grime, 'mid all the hate
that hardens,
In memory only blossoms may be
seen.
