Chronic Constipation
There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it
is produced by a cathartic. Most of
them have brought that condition
on themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that
tak' loo much water out of the sys

art- meant to relieve. A mild laxa
tive tonic like Chamberlain's Tablets
affords a gentle movement of the
bowels thr.t you hardly realize

attacks will observe that their appe

tack. That is, they do not really
crave food, but at because it is in al
time. If they will eat only a light
meal and no meat, then take two of

ELMWOOD Z
(Special Correspondce )
New Industry for Elmwood
W. K. Palmeter and George F. Wil
son, two of Elmwood's enterprising
citizens, are at this time just begin
ning the manufacture of a new power
barrel cement mixer, which they will
probably name the "Farmers'
Friend," as it is designed particu
larly for the use of farm jobs, and
other which is not of such magni
tude as to require large amounts of
concrete. The machine, which is the
idea of Mr. Palmeter and a few of
which he manufactured some seven
years ago, and which have stood the
test of.time and hard work, are very
simple in construction and so design
ed as to get the maximum service
from the minimum of power, with a
continuous motion, while mixing and
dumping the contents into a vehicle
for conveying to place to bo Used.
The frame is all composed of angle
iron, which makes it the most rigid,
as well as permanent in composition.
While they have only constructed
a lew a' this time, they are begin
ning with the intention of putting
out a large number this year, and at
this time have sold twice as many
as they have now constructed. Oth
er towns are making inquiries as to
regard to the securing of t he plant
for their locality, but while the fu
ture remains sealed as in the case of
all business projects, the gentlemen
will for the present continue with
their plant here. They are now form
ing their corporation ami will as soon
as the technical work is done, install
some labor aving devices which will
add greatly to the production ar.d
they are expecting a large field for
the marketing of the device, which
Mr. Palmeter has developed and per
lected during the years which he Iris
given to it in thought ami work. The I
device is well covered by patents and
f looks like it will prove a very pros
perous enterprise as the working of
the ones which are now completed
are such ;s to guarantee the best of
work and a machine which will hist
long and continue to give the best of
work under the most exacting condi-
t ions.

What Lincoln said
(from an airfress by
Abraham Lyicoln to
thm Workman s Asso
ciation in J8f4t
"Property is ttie fruit
rf labor: property is
desirable; is a jjitive
r. ood in the woi XL. . ..
Let, not hi in who is
houseless pull down
the house of another,
but let him vuork dili
gently and build. ont
for himBelt, thus by ex
ample assuring that
his own shall be Bttft
from violence whcTi
built "
When the talk, turns from politics to railroadn, and
the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with,
"There's an awful lot of 'water' in the railroads,"
here are some hard-pan facts to give him:
American railroacs have-cost $80,900 a mile road
bed, structures, stations yards, terminals, freight
and passengei. trains everything from the great
city terminals tothelast spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $30,000
a mile just a bare- road, not counting the cost of
culverts,bridges? etc.
Our railroads couTdn't be duplicated today
for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile - much
less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand
dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile;
the French at $155,000; German $132.Q00; even In'
Canada (still in pioneer development) they are
capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for ai;
foreign countries is $100,000.
Low capitalization and high operating efficiency
have enabled American railroads to pay the high
est wages while charging the lowest rates.
