THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION.
Advise Against the Use of Harsh
Purgatives and Physics.
A doctor's first question when con
sulted by a patient is, "are your bowels
regular?" He knows that ninety-eight
per cent of illness is attended with inac
tive bowels and torpid liver. This con
dition poisons the system with noxious
gases and waste matter which naturally
accumulates and which must be remov
ed through the bowels before health can
be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the bowels,
causing pain and damage to the delicate
intestinal structure which weakens the
whole system, and at best only produces
temporary relief. The repeated use of
such treatments cause chronic irritation
of the stomach and bowels, hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiff
ens their muscles and generally bring
about an injurious habit which some
times has fatal results.
We have a positive, pleasant and safe
remedy for constipation and bowel dis
orders in general. We are so certain of
its great curative value that we promise
.to return the purchaser's money in every
case when it fails to produce entire satis
faction. This remedy is called Rexall
Orderlies. We urge you to try them at
our entire risk.
Rexall Orderlies are very pleasant to
take, they act quietly and have a soo
thing, strengthening, healing influence
on the entire intestinal tract. They do
not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulen
ce, excessive looseness, diarrhoea or
other annoying effects, and they may be
taken at any time without any incon
venience. Rexall Orderlies overcome the drugging
habit and care constipation and all simi
lar ailments, whether acute or chronic.
They are especially good for children,
weak persons or old folks. Price, 36
tablets, 25c, and 12 tablets, 10c. Pollock

Plenty Good Enough.
Aunt Chloe was burdened with the
support of a worthless husband, who
beat her when he was sober, and
whom she dutifully nursed and tended
when he came home bruised and bat
tered from a fighting spree.
One Monday morning she appeared
at the drug store and asked the clerk
for "a right pow'ful liniment foh ach
In in de bones."
"You might try some of this St.
Peter's Prescription, aunty; it's an old
and popular remedy, cures cuts, bruis
es, aches and sprains. One dollar the
bottle. Good for man and beast"
Aunt Chloe looked at the dollar bot
tle and then dubiously at her flat
purse. "Ain't yo got some foh 50

A Boy's Essay on Ducks.
A schoolboy assigned to prepare an
ssay on ducks, wrote: "The duck is
a low, heavy-set bird composed mostly
of meat and feathers. He is a mighty
poor singer, having a hoarse voice,
caused by getting so many frogs in his
neck. He likes the water and carries
a toy balloon in his stomach to keep
from sinking. The duck has only two
legs and they are set so far back on
his running gears by nature that they
came pretty near missing his body.
8ome ducks when they get big have
curls on their tails and are called
drakes. Drakes don't have to set
or hatch, but just loaf, go swimming
and eat. If I was to be a duck I'd rath
er be a drake." National Food Maga
zine. Idler Severely Dealt With.
Old-time Englishmen hated Idleness.
An act passed In 1531 decreed that
any person "being whole and mighty
In body and able to labor" found beg
ging might be arrested, and if unable
to give a satisfactory account of him
self he was brought to the nearest
market town, tied to the end of a
cart, stripped of his clothes and beat
en with whips through the town,
bleeding and ashamed, after which
degradation he was sent to his native
place, on kls oath to "put himself to
labor Ilka a true man ought to do."
If the sturdy vagabond were caught
a third time la Idleness he was to
death, "as aa enemy to the com-
iwaalta."

FRIDAY, MARCH 5
AS TO ORIGIN OP THE SPOON.
Shells Probably Pirst Used for Pur
pose in Prehistoric Times.
The suggestion is offered by a cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the shell.
Shells of the mussel, scallop, and oy
ster, it Is believed, were used in pre
historic times as spoons and ladles,
the handle being formed of a piece
of wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day, and the old Highland custom of
offering whisky in a shell has been
probably handed down from genera
tion to generation for untold ages.
Westman in his "History of the
Spoon," gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design something
like silver caddy spoons and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt. Those for common use
were generally made of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
shell shape was retained, and their
marine origin is also preserved in the
name of a spoon cochleare derived
from cochlea, a shell or cockle. The
Celtic spoon also closely resembled
the shell in form, though made- of
bronze. The horns of various animals,
such as the ox, bison and ram, were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable, it
was sometimes used with wood, ivory,
metal, etc., for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expression: "To spoil a
horn to make a spoon."
Doctors for the Well.
There seems to be much to com
mend the practice of employing a doc
tor at so much per year to visit the
homes of his clients, watch their diet,
clothing, habits, the sanitary condi
tion of their person and homes; to
teach them the laws of health and how
to be temperate in eating, drinking,
bathing, exercising, recreation and
work. People who are never sick are
the ones to whom this should apply
with special force, for there always
comes the day when sickness knocks
at their door. The old adage: "An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure," is as good to-day as when
it was uttered centuries ago. Boston

Introducing Mr. Spencer.
Harry was walking with another boy
when he was joined by a friend a year
or so older and inclined to manners
"Introduce me, Harry," the new
comer whispered, pompously.
Harry twisted, reddened and at last
turned to his companion with: "Jim,
have you ever seen Gilbert Spencer?"
"No," the other boy answered.
"Well," Harry blurted out, redden
ing still more and jerking his thumb
over his shoulder toward the new
comer, "that's him!" Lippincott's.

IS COSTLY VISITOR
SANTA CLAUS GREAT DEPLETER
OF POCKETBOOKS. '
Of Course the Cheery Old Chap .la
Always Welcome, But Just the.
Same Well You Know
How It Is.
"As I look back on Santa Claus,"
said the father of a family, "I find
myself inclined to be a little 'peevish
with him, just' a little.
"He's a nice old man, with his
ruddy face and his white whiskers and
his jolly paunch, but he's so insistent,
so very insistent. You think you've
given him all he wants and all he's
going to ask for; then back he comes
again for more, always wanting more,
and asking it with such a manner,
with such gravity and humor that you
can't resist
"This year Santa, or he and bis
authorized agents, all but broke us.
We set aside in our minds months
ago the amount that we thought we
could afford to spend this year for
Christmas, making the amount, so
we thought more than generous. At
any rate it was more than we could
afford, and then we cut our cloth for
the rest of the year according to that
depletion of our finances. It was go
ing to skimp us some but we were go
ing to pull through all right, and we
would have done so if we had been
able to get through according to the
original plan; pinched, butall right
"But do you know that about a
month before Christmas had come we
found that our Christmas money had
run out? About two-thirds of the
things bought and the money run out
We had to make further appropria
tions, for of course those other things
had to be bought
"So we scraped up some more
Christmas money, skimping in other,
ways to provide it and started in buy
ing those other things, sure that this
time we would have enough. But did
we?
"No. Three days before Christmas
In the last grand rally to buy the
things we had to have it was discov
ered that we'd got to have more
money. A good many things had
cost more than we had expected they
would and we had kept thinking of
more people to whom we must give,
and it all took more money. Money,
money, money! But we had to find
it, and we did, though as a matter of
fact it did crowd us hard. We had
expected to be pinched, but now we
were squeezed and squeezed dry.
"So much for that mild, benignant,
humorous and gentle but at the same
time vigorous and persistent and per
suasive old man with the white whis
kers, Santa Claus. .When he had got
through with us he left us without a
dollar.
"But we were glad to have him
come around. Perhaps it is well he
doesn't come oftener and I guess he
knows that; for he's a wise old chap,
as well as kindly; he doesn't draw on
us except when he knows we are
ready to honor bis drafts, and so we
are glad to see him when he comes
at Christmas time. He prompts us to
do many pleasant things that in our
selfish hearts we might never have
thought of but for him."
Meerschaum Running Out
Unless a fresh source of supply Is
found, meerschaum will soon be worth
double as much as it is to-day. The
article was introduced into Europe,
so far as its use for pipes is con
cerned, through Turkey. This was
about the year 1750. A large supply
was also found in Ruhla, in Germany,
near the Thurlngia forest which, un
til recently, gave employment to
about five thousand hands. Many of
the most notable among the German
sculptors had their first training as
carvers of meerschaum pipe bowls.
The supply, however, has now almost
ceased, and the only important beds
in the world to-day are in Asia Minor.
The industry there is now controlled
by American and British capital, with
the result that the stuff is now 50 per
cent dearer than it was a few years
ago, with the prospect of a further
advance in price at an early date.
Detachable Coiffures.
"Andre Autard, who is John D.
Rockefeller's coiffeur," said an actress,
"waves the hair beautifully and when
ever I'm in Paris I pay him a visit at
his shop in the Rue Castiglione.
"On my last visit, talking about wigs
and false curls and such things, Mons.
Autard said:
"'What would the world do" without
us coiffeurs?'
"And he declared that the prettiest
actress in Paris was giving' a tea one
afternoon when her hair-dresser was
announced.
"'My hair dresser, eh?' she said.
Well, show him into the boudoir and
tell him to begin at once. Ill be with
him in an hour.' "

'LESSON FOR THE WHOLE RACE.
Harmony That Might Be If Each
Would But Do His Part. "
There is no prettier sight in the
world than a column of choir boys
entering a church and singing the
processional as they slowly march to
the altar, declares a writer in the Co
lumbus Journal. There is youth in its
sweetest aspect bright-faced boys in
all their health and hope, engaged in a
beautiful religious ceremony, stepping
in harmony to the fairest ideals of
worship. But it is more than a mere
ceremony. It has a lesson for all a
lesson of the happiest import See
that little boy in the . procession
caped in white, the sunrise on his
brow, and singing out of his heart a
noble melody. He is only a part of a
great harmony, and modestly he does
his part, content to be simply one to
blend his voice in the sweet' strain of
worship.
The lesson touches closely human
experience. Here we are, a great
crowd gathered on the earth, each one
engaged in some service, to his coun
try, to humanity, to home, to business,
or perhaps some poorer one how like
that little boy in the processional
might it be, if every one would add a.
beautiful note to the harmony of life
and lose himself in the procession
marching toward the altars of the
common good.
TRAINING THE FEEBLE STEPS.
Cent School Was a Worthy Ancestor
of the Kindergarten.
A cent school is so called because
the children who come to it bring
each one cent, clutched tightly in a
little hand, or knotted in the corner
of a handkerchief, a daily offering. If
the cent is forgotten, or lost on the
way, the child goes home for another,
that is all, and has scolding for care
lessness into the bargain. The littlest
children go to it used to go, rather,
for indeed this should all be In the
paBt tense rather than the present,
the cent school being a thing of the
past and, as one might say, a great
aunt of the present kindergarten, an
old woman from the country, who is
rather plain in her ways. Eunice
Swain would have thought a kinder
garten foolishness. Her children did
not come to school to be amused, but
to work. She put them on benches in
her big kitchen, because it was warm
there, and sat in the dining room door
and taught them, or chastised them,
as the spirit bade her. She taught the
three Rs, and manners, and truth tell
ing, and, above all, humility, impress
ing on these infants daily that they
belonged to a generation, not of vi
pers exactly, but of weaklings. L .H.

END OF THE WORLD
PREDICTION MADE ABOUT EVERY
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Numberless Are the Prophets Who
Have Set Days for Dread Happen
ingScientists Declare It
Will Last Long.
It may be interesting to the. timid
to know that the end of the world has
been similarly predicted on an aver
age of once every 25 years since the
first recording prophecy of the bishop
of Hippo, in 395i A. D. Since then
there have been hundreds of dates
set for' the end of the world, each pre
diction taken more or less seriously
by some people.
In the year 999 thousands of people
from every quarter of the old world
sold their possessions and began a
journey toward Jerusalem. Numerous
prophecies had been made setting the
year 1000 as the end of the world.
The failure of the predictions to come
true resulted in great suffering among
the poorer classes.
The year 1212 saw thousands of
people from Europe and Asia journey
ing to the Mediterranean sea, which
prophets had predicted would be
come dry in order that they might
walk to the Holy Land for the end of
the world.
An Italian priest predicted the end
jof the world in 1335. but the prophecy
was not generally believed. In 1533,
however, the prophecy of Steiffel, the
friend of Martin Luther, which set
October 3 of that year as the day
for the end of the world, was widely
believed. Thousands of Steiffel's fol
lowers disposed of all their posses
sions and awaited the coming of the
great event. As the day passed and
nothing out of the ordinary occurred
the angry men and women turned on
Steiffel and nearly killed him.
In recent years numerous prophets
have set various days as the end of
the world. The Adventists, when their
followers numbered thousands, pre
pared fpr the coming of the world's
end in both 1843 and 1844.
During 1899 nearly all the people In
the city of Kharkow, Russia, sold
their belongings and awaited the end
of the world, which they firmly be
lieved would take place in that year.
The winter of 1899 and 1900 was se
vere and hundreds of the 'inhabitants
died from hunger and exposure.
In the last ten years preachers and
religious enthusiasts throughout this
country have set days for the end of
the world. Nearly every year from
1895 to 1905 has been selected as the
fatal year, while .several have set the
date as the year 2000. Half a million
Porto Ricans spent Tnursday, May 22,
1904, in prayer, awaiting the coming
of destruction.
As a contrast to the dates set by
students of the Bible for the world's
end 'are the predictions of scientists,
who base their figures on scientific
theories. The very shortest time any
of those men give for the end of the
world is 3,000,000,000 years.
A Question of Courtesy.
When President Roosevelt and his
party were hunting in the jungles of
Louisiana they had with them as chief
cook and bottle washer a native darky
named Sam, whose politeness was
only exceeded by his professed fear
lessness in the face of danger.
After a camp had been opened Sam
was sent out to reconnolter In the vi
cinity and report prospects for game.
Soon after he had disappeared .un
earthly yells were heard and he was
seen leaping and bounding through the
thicket in a desperate effort to over
come time and distance in reaching
camp. On his arrival, hatless and
breathless, he almost fell into the
arms of the chief guard, who ex
claimed: "Why, Sam, what's the matter?
What scared you so?"
"I isn't skeered, massa," stammered
Sam, as he gasped for breath and
rolled his eyes in the direction from
which he came; "I jis come back to ax
you ef it wud be perlite foh dis niggah
to shoot dat bar dat chased me befo'
gibbin da fust chance to da president
of da United States?" Harper's

a patch on Nipper."
"He looks all right," said Rand, with
as much warmth as could be expected
from a man whose Interest is in tumb
lers and pointers.
"He is all right," corrected Mason,
with dignity. "Why, that fellow knows
everything you say to him, in Ger
man and French as well as English.
We've proved it again and again, and
only last night my wife said that if we
wanted to keep anything from him
we'd have to learn a new language.

"that we shall take up Esperanto when
the evenings get longer." Youth's

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 23. '09. The
medical world is beginning to get ex
cited by the successes accomplished by
Quaker Doctors, whose maryelons feats
of restoring health after others have
failed and performing surgical opera
tions without the loss of a single drop
of biood. ,
The northwestern states are enjoying
the experience of two of the must ad
vanced and successful specialises in
acnte and chronic diseases of the ear,
nose, throat, lungs, blood and nervous
affections that have ever visited the
United States.
The success of the Quaker Doctors is
attributed to their special study ofj
specialism. The Doctors, students,
philanthropists and men of wide repu
tation, having given their entire time
and practice to a line of special diseases
which enables ibem from lungexperience
in handling these troubles to certainly
come forward as master specialists.
Their faculty for mastering disease, their
ability to diagnose and their plan of
of treatment is not to be excelled by few
other physicians.
The Quaker Doctors do not profess or
pretend to practic the old plan of fashion
which is to look wise and say nothing.
They know disease; tbey know how to
explain the symptoms of disease, and
the spot where located, and most of all
tbey know from experience, from
what they have done in the past, tbey
can certainly do for others in the future.
It is said by the Quaker Doctors' friends
that tbey can diagnose a disease of any
patient without asking them a single
question, that being the case they are
not likely to doctor them for the wrong
ailment; they will not take an incurable
disease and lead the patient to believe
that they can cure them when there is
really no hope for them. The Quaker
Specialist's business is large and tbey
have plenty to do, even at times, more
than tbey can do, without taking in
curable diseases and deceiving their
patients. Brother Matthew and Brother
Ephriam are graduates from two of the
best English universities, as well as be
ing graduates from two of the best
schools in America. Their specialty
comprises that class of diseases which
the ordinary home doctor fails to cure.

The proprietor of a certain hotel In

the most profane. He swears without
knowing it and means no offense. He
spends but little time in the office and
is practically unknown to many of the
guests. One day, however, he was in
conversation with the manager when
a lady interrupted them.
"I want my room changed,-" she said.
