True Secret of Keeping
Youthful Looking
(The Beauty Seeker.)
•The real secret of keeping young-looking
and beautiful," aa.vs a well-known hygieniat,
"is to keep the liver and bowela normally
active. Without these requisites, poisonous
waste products remain in the system, pollut
ing the blood and lodging in various organs,
tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese,
nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled
and sallow of face.
"But to get liver and bowels working as
tkey ought, without producing evil after-effects
has been the problem. Fortunately, there ia
a prescription of unquestioned merit, which
may now be had in convenient tablet form.
Its value is due largely to an ingredient de
rived from the humble May apple, or its root,
which has been called 'vegetable calomel* be
cause of ita effectiveness —though, of course, it
ia not to be classed with the real calomei of
mercurial origin. There ia no habit-forming
constituent in 'aentanel' tablets—that's the
name —and their use is not followed by weak
ness or exhaustion. On the contrary, these
harmless vegetable tableta tend to impart tone
and elasticity to the relaxed inteatinal wall.
Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from
any druggist—a dime's worth will do—will
prove a revelation to any constipated, liver
troubled person."
| The Constipation Curse 1
Constipation - clogged bowels
cause pain and sickness; 95 per
cent of our ills, say the authorities.
Sentanel Laxatives bring quick
relief. All vegetable contain no
calomel. Ten dose 3 for a dime at

■ of the one destroyed by Are and $2,-
000 for the purchase of the lot on
| which the burned building was erect
ed. now owned by the Enola Realty
I Company.

ent indebtedness $33,000. The tax rate
is about 11 mills and with the pro
posed increased indebtedness of $40,-

crease the mill rate much as the bonds
to be sold will be for 30 years.

mated that its center was about I.GOO

GOOD WORK
Proper Food Makes Marvelous
Changes.
Providence Is sometimes credited
with directing the footsteps by so sim
i pie a way as the reading of a food ad
! vertisement.
A lady in Mo. writes. "I was com- |
pelled to retire from my school teach
ing because I was broken down with
nervous prostration.
"I suffered agony In my back and ,
i was in a dreadfully nervous condition,
irritable, with a dull, heavy headache !
continually, had no appetite and could j
scarcely digest anything. I was un- !
able to remember what I read and ]
was. of course, unfit for my work.
"One day, as if by providence, I
read the testimonial of a lady whose
symptoms were much the same as \
mine, and she told of how Grape-Nuts
food had helped her, so I 'concluded
to try it.
"I began with Grape-Nuts, a little
fruit, and a cup of Postum. I steadily i
improved in both body and mind. !
Grape-Nuts has done more for me j
than all the medicine I have ever!
taken. I am now well again and able
to do anything necessary in my work. 1

Great as are steam locomotives—yet far f ''? ft! Mi' J I
greater are obstacles of mountain operation. To \ » / I
successfully overcome these the steam locomotive has had * fl) ' / I
to yield the sceptre to a mightier giant—the electric locomotive. I
World supremacy in locomotives is now held by the powerful electrics of the "St. PauF'
that haul the superb all-steel trains—' "The Olympian" and "The Columbian"
over the completed unit of the electrified main line of this railway across the Great
Continental Divide.
This supremacy rests on their ability to pull heavier loads with greater speed over the
mountains to master snow and cold —to effect vast economies in operation and to travel I
farther without overhauling—than any other locomotives, either steam or electric.
Electric operation adds much to the comforts and delights of travel. It means smoother
riding and freedom from smoke, cinders, gases and other undesirable incidents unavoid- I
able with steam travel.
