"Daddy" Hasn't But he "Otter" Find Him. ~A unique experience, which recent ly fell to the lot of Isaac Wykoff, the veteran hunter and trapper of Cam eron county, in trapping for otters, lias given rise to considerable specula tion on the part of the members of Kelly's and Lantz's Lumber Camps, at flicks Run, Penn'a. This congenial individual, hale and hearty at the age of seventy-five (gen erally known as "Daddy,") is a trapper of extraordinary ability, owing to his thorough knowledge of the habits, char acteristics and instincts of all fur ani mals. In this particular instance, "Daddy," in setting a trap for an otter, attached to one end of the chain a stone weigh ing approximately ten pounds, in order that the animal, if caught, might read ily be apprehended but, in making his usual rounds, much to his surprise, found trap, chain and stone misßing. Although, in Daddy's opinion, the bed of the brook showed clear indications of the stone having been dragged in the direction of an old bridge abutment, and the structure was dynamited to atoms, tha animal is still at large in j full possession of the trap and attach ments. It is "Daddy's" firm belief that the animal is in hiding in the vicinity of the site where caught, but 011 this point opinions differ. How ever, "Daddy" is in hopes of finding the otter "high and dry" 011 the limb of some tree bordering the brook, after the spring freshet. He has searched persistently for the missing captive, without avail, but, not being easily discouraged, his leisure moments | will be spent in a further search. "Daddy" has his own methods and ideas in trapping all animals that in habit the East, from a mouse to a bear, and if he cannot capture them, others are foolish to attempt it. This vetoran of the woods is a man J of remarkable vitality, who considers a J fifteen-mile-ramble ordinary exercise j and if any athletic youth should feel j inclined to discredit this statment, : "Daddy" is ever ready to test, his stay- ' ing qualities in an all day's roam over | Old Pennsy's rolling country. Lye Stewed Peaches. The pure food agitation which has been principally over the question of beuzoate of soda has now taken a new turn and renewed interest will doubt less be aroused over this question. It is said that in most of the canner ies of the country the peaches are stew ed in red-hot caustic soda to eat away the skins and thereby save the cost of knife-peeling, the difference in cost amounting from a cent and a half to two cents per can. In the process of this lye stewing, almost all the flavor of the peach dis appears and doubtless a little caustic soda is left on each piece of fruit as a memento of its trip through the can nery. Caustic soda, strong enough to eat away the skin of an unripe peach must | be anything but soothing to the inner I man or child. The full significance of this is best understood in connection with the fact that caustic soda is used in making many kinds of soap ; in fact, it is the dirt eating part of soap. It is said that the great majority of the canneries use the lye process in place of the knife-peeling method. At tempts, have been made for sometime to get the Department of Agriculture to make a ruling on this question which would compel the canners who use this method to say so on the labels of their goods. It looks now as if the question will be passed up to Congress for a specific law covering this phase of the pure food agitation. The use of caustic soda is impossible with ripe fruit because it discolors a ripe peach so that it will not pass mus ter with the users of the high grade canned fruits. In conseque nee this is possible only with unripe fruit, and green fruit is purposely gathered for canning. Owing to the absence of any marks on the cans to indicate the use of cau stic soda, the only way the customer can tell if he has purchased a lye-pro cess can of fruit is by taste. Open a can of peaches, wash away the syrup from a piece of fruit. Then taste it. If it is void of flavor, woody and pul py, and it has a soapy appearance, it is undoubtedly the lye-peeled variety.

Our faith in it is so strong that we sell it on the positive guarantee that it shall not cost the user a cent if it does not give entire satisfaction and completely remedy constipation.

Combined with other well known ingredients, long establish ed for their usefulness in the treatment of constipation, it forms a tablet which is eaten just like candy.
