Jones - AN :�I1$ANCIHI r11�I 11n 1gerr 230 EgnesiE o 0 on People who suffer from indigestion usually have tried pepsin, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and got little- more than slight temporary relief—sometimes not even that. 'But before giving up to chronic dyspepsia, just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia—not the ordinary commercial carbonate, cit- rate or milk, but pure Bisurated Mag - mega which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powder or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or four tablets with a little water af- ter your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will inst- antly neutralize the dangerous, harm - acid in the stomach which now Icauses your food to ferment„ and roux, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You can. enjoy your meals without a fear of indigestion. iBIOW PUBLIC FLOGGING SEEMS TO SPECTATORS 'Since we so frequently hear it urg- ed that flogging should take the place sof imprisonment or supplement im- prisonment, and since it is quite com- mon for Canadian judges to order whipping, it may be somewhat edify- ing to glance at the practice as it prevails in the state of Delaware. There the whipping post is an old in- awtiitution and frequently through the year one can see it in operation if (one is lucky enough to be able to get close to the place where the punish- vnent is being inflicted. For whipping in Delaware, unlike whipping in Can- ada, is done in public. Perhaps th idea is that prospective lawbreakers will Iook on and shudder and turn away from the wickedness which they contemplate. Perhaps the old Puri- tan conscience, which received a thrill 'by seeing the evil doer rewarded, is responsible for the public spectacle that is offered throughout the state wherever there is a jail whipping - post. We select the account that fol- lows from a report written for the New York World by William J. Rob- ertson, an eye -witness. '"Oh God, oh God have mercy! Jesus, save me!" cried the man as he twisted his body in agony. The louder the cried the more severely the cat -o' - nine tails, in the hands of his whip- per, descended upon his bare back. Little streams of blood, oozing from large welts that ran across his shoul- ders and under his armpits, tricked down into the clothing bunched at his waist. The whipper, perspiring free- ly and breathing rapidly, continued ih}s painful work with the air of a span who would like to be through with an unpleasant task as soon as possible. But he had miuch work a- lhead of him yet. The whipped man, with arms secured to a huge post, (cried out again and again as the nine lashes fell upon his back. He writh- ed frantically and pulled at the iron rings which secured his wrists with the ferocity of a trapped animal. Seeing that this was of no avail he prayed and wept and pleaded with his whipper to cease. As the fortieth and final lash descended upon his blood-stained back, he uttered a curse and became limp. His body was held up by the iron rings. These were unfastened and the man was taken away. The whipper had just begun his work. His first victim was a negro. Another negro was secured to the post and given the same treatment. When five negroes had been whipped, a white man, small in stature, his face and body pale and trembling, was led to the post. When the first lash de- scended upon his back, he twisted his body around the post away from his whipper. The next lash swept across his shoulder and down under his arni near the waist. A great welt arose and blood quickly flowed. The man cried out in agony. Like an animal he twisted his frail body until it look- ed as though he would jerk his arms off. • He prayed and wept and plead- ed with his whipper. The latter, still perspiring profusely and breathing heavily, silently continued his work, his face grim and gray. When the fortieth and final stroke came in con- tact with his twisting body, the man screamed with pain and became limp. The iron band about his wrists were released and he was taken away by two men, one holding his arms under the shoulders and the other his feet. The whipper, folding the nine lashes against his whip handle, mopped his perspiring brow and silently departed from the little enclosure. Three of the negroes and the white roan were paying part of the penalty for being engaged in a hold-up near Wilmington. The rest of the punish- ment was to consist of 25 years' im- prisonment. The Delaware law pro- vides lashing for the following crimes: Arson, 20 to 60 Iashes; assault, with intent to rape, 30; counterfeiting, 30; breaking and entering, 20 to 40; high- way robbery, 40; larceny, not more than 20; perjury, 40 (at the discretion of the court); poisoning with intent to murder, 60; robbery, 20; wife beat- ing, 5 to 30. It is a curious scale which regards perjury as more ser- ious than wife beating and two-thirds as serious as poisoning with intent to commit murder. Outside of Delaware there are not many people who urge fl ging for any crimes but those of vi ence, and the notion that it should inflicted for larceny would be re- u•gnant to ost people. It should be re , too, that the flogging is not regarded 'as an expiation. Lt is always in addition to imprisonment. However, Delaware may be regarded as improving since there was a time when the pillory and the whipping - post were the state's answers to such an offence as fortune-telling. The weapon with which the flogging is done is, of course, designed accord- ing to law and consists of a whip of nine stout, smooth, leather cords, la inches long, attached to a hickory stick two feet long and averaging three-quarters of an inch in diame- ter. Warden Leach of the New Castle county workhouse where most of the floggings are inflicted, does not be- lieve in •the punishment, but says that there is so much difference of opinion as to its merits that he does eta Building Yom Home Coots N® More TO Stop Fire ley specifying Gyp!roc ailboairdi you assure walls mai ceilings that are et�i� meant fire barrrie><s— Pag itIe cogIt ns no more, and often fess than with gc s ghats diveno fire votecrio>1n wttev r t!mosp g mala 'ark PTO waslaaa4 a • /4 iarl> Tatum t4? as tentlal l Il exch ThaZ the traz is ua.�t u creat ,an alete 'treaat ala7 aaad2 faces the fag; Vast 26 l e t. arf e Win, vrlratived bpve 43'9.tj.'- fered traits yoridune>sat aurarue, th waste. fi[e SS1re'thart there is xn¢rtlaiu► .ian time idea that criminals ,rive Delaware a wide berth became +of the vgaigrpia- post Dar :so erinain is Cobtmit ?id= =patina to be punished for it. `Jl`jnes all believe their ebaneeee of getting clear to be about perfeet.

There is a "Death Chamber" in the FLY-TOX factory. It is used to test the quality of FLY-TOX as a spray to kiII flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs, roaches, etc. During a test a large number of young, healthy insects are placed inside the cabinet. These in- sects are raised in incubators for testing purposes. While the insects are flying and crawling around in the "C,hamlher of Death," FLY-TOX is sprayed inside. Less than a teaspoon- ful is used. Instantly there is a change. Within five minutes not a buzz is heard. All insects are dead. To make sure they are really dead, the rinsedta are carefully removed from the "Chamber of Death" and placed in incubators in an effort to revive them. If a wing flutters, the FLY-TOX tested never leaves the factory. This test is your guarantee of FLY-TOX quality. It does what you want it to do—kill insects in and about your home. Yet, FLY-TOX is positively harmless topeople. FLY- TOX was developed at Mellon Insti- tute of Industrial Research by Rex Research Fellowship. It will not stain. Has a delightful perfume -like fragrance. There is only one FLY- TOX—insist upon the genuine in hot - ties with blue labels.—Adv.

They call this new and wonderful preparation "Joint -Ease" because the medical man who turned the trick, worked for years to perfect some low priced remedy that would really bene- fit the millions of people who have one or more joints that need helpful attention. So "Joint -Ease" is prepared only for people who have a swollen, pain- ful, creaky, distorted or stiff joint, whether it be in knee, elbow, shouI- der, ankle, neck or finger and whe- ther it is caused by rheumatism or something else. Of course, it can't help but quickly put an end to such superficial ail- ments as lumbago, neuralgia, neurit- is, aching muscles, stitch in the side, crick in the neck or sore feet because of its penetrating action, but what it is really recommended for is joint ailments • of any nature whatever. Ask for a tube of "Joint -Ease." You can use it several times in one evening for quick results, because it goes right through the akin 'w'ith with only a few seconds rubbing. IIt surely is a swift penetrator and when it gets under the skin it starts right in to end all joint trouble. 'It is made in Canada—costs only 60 cents. All druggists dispense it daily, as do first,clasn druggists ev- erywhere.
