HOW TO FIND FISH BAIT
-The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
spot, a "shady and low lying knoll, but,
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes, not a single worm had
his spade turned up. . .
"Here, sonny," said the. old angler,
"take this chunk of soap and make
me a quart or two of soapsuds."
, The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkled .them over the ground,
and then he, in his turn, began to dig.
It was amazing. Here, where the boy
before had not found a single worm
the old man now discovered them in
dozens.
"You can find worms "most any
where, sonny," said the old man, "if
you, wet the ground with soapsuds
first The soapsuds draws there, the
same as molasses draws flies. A weak
mixture of blue vitrol and. water will
to the same thing also." Providence

CONFESSIONS OF A MONOPOLIST
A book that deserves to be read by
all who are Interested in, a study and
solution of the monopoly problem is
that just published by the Public Pub
lishing Co., Chicago, "The Confessions
of a Monopolist'1 by Hon. Frederic G.
Howe. It is a strong story of the ca
reer of a typical monopolist of today,
a forceful character, who, through ac
quiring monopolies by the usual
means advances his political power
until he obtains a seat in the United
States senate. The story might be
that of any one of a score of "captains
of industry" whose names have be
come household words during the last
defiade. It lays bare many Becrets of
the work done by the monopolists of
today to extend their political and
commercial power, and the whole
forms a story of timely interest. Two
chapters of this story originally ap
peared "in the World's Work under the
title, "The Confessions of a Commer
cial Senator," and are incorporated in
the present volume. This volume
should be read by all who strive to
keep abreast of the discussion of the
monopoly question, and especially by
young men who are looking forward to
a business career.

A QUEER CONCEIT
Newton Newldrk, one of the mem
bers of that popular class known as
"the newspaper humorists," has re
cently Issued a volume entitled "Rec
ollections of a Gold Cure Graduate."
It must not be understood that this
is an autobiography, for it is not. It
is merely the fanciful output of a
clever paragraphor who has taken this
title for his book because it gives
him unlimited play for his imagina
tlon. Tho book is full of clever and
quaint conceits, witty verse and good
advice couched in a way that hides
the bad taste that usually follows a
dose thereof. In his alphabetical les
OUR Intestines are lined insido
with millions of suckers, that
draw "the Nutrition from food as
passes them But, if the food
passes too slowly, it decays before it gets
through. Then the little suckers draw Poison
from It instead of Nutrition. This Poison
makes a Gas that injures your system moro
than the food should have nourished It.
1 The usual remedy for this delayed pass
age (called Constipation) is" to take big
dose of Castor Oil.

It does not help the" Cause of delay a
trifle. It does slacken the Bowel-Muscles,
and weakens them for their next task.
Another remedy is to take a strong
"Physic," like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phos
phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of
these mixed.
What does the "Physic" do?
It merely flushes-out the Bowels with
a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing into
the Intestines through the tiny suckers.
Cascarets are the only safe medicine for
the bowels.
They do not waste any precious fluid of
the Bowels, as "Physics" do.
They do not relax the Intestines by greas
ing them Inside like Castor Oil or Glycerine. .
They simply stimulate the Bowel
Muscles to do their work naturally, com
fortably, and nutritiously.
They are put up in thin, f lgt, round-cornered
Enamel boxes, so they can be carried
in a man's vest pocket, -or In a woman's
purse, all the time, without bulk or trouble.
The time to take a Cascaret is not
