Large Cattle Shipments Over for the Fall Season The run of cattle from the range country of Nebraska, Colorado and WyouSng, coining to" the Omaha market is practically over for the season, though there will be some scattered shipments until about the middle of the present month. Rail road men assert that the business this fall has been unusually heavy, due to the high price of beef. A good many feeders are going to the feeding lots of Nebraska and Iowa, but the number is much smaller than usual, due to the high price of corn. The movement of hogs continues, and, according to the railroad freight cfiicialSj will not let up until after the first of the year. Hogs coming in now are said to be in good con dition, and due to the fact that the government has discouraged the remarketing of animals weighing less than 150 pounds each, they are larger as a rule than heretofore.

If one should take minute daily doses of some irritant or poisonous drug, no particular effect might be noticed until accumulation of the poi " son made its action evident Yet how marjy realize that irritant and poisonous substances are formed constantly, even in health, during food digestion and the preparation of its waste for elimination? ) If the bowels act regularly and thor oughly, such dangerous matter is safely gotten rid of. But if constipation exists, there results stagnation of intestinal waste, v increased production of poisonous substances, and their absorption in to the blood, whicfi carries them all over the body. The result is disease or disorder, which, if neglected or allowed to continue, cripples or kills. The victim of such self-poisoning commits suicide by inches. Constipation is a bad habit. It is a sin against the body. But there is an even worse habit, a crime against Nature, the taking of pills, castor oil, laxative mineral - waters, and salts to "force the bow els to move." Because such drugs do not cure constipation. They make constipation a habit They do not prevent "suicide by inches." On the other hand, the Nujol Treatment not only overcomes con stipation, but prevents stagnation ahd makes self-poisoning impossible.
