Daily Health Talks The Best Way to Treat Constipation By S. C. BABCOCK, M. D. The medical books name many drugs that will move the bowels. The drug store shelves are loaded | down with laxatives, purgatives and j pills. The trouble with most of | them is the after-effects. Consti-1 pated people know that pills work j all right for a little while, but they | toon lose their effect, and a change j has to be made to something else. The constant taking of pills results in a form of bowel inactivity that Is difficult to cure. The system be comes so accustomed to laxative drugs that the organs just won't work without them, and so the pill habit becomes as bad as constipation itself. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., j geems to me to have the right idea, j He says the bowels should first be | gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant! Pellets, and in the meantime laxa tive foods only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive oil, spinach, bran, vegetables and fruits are fine for constipation. Chew every bite thor oughly, eat little meat, and be as ac tive as possible. Now, doesn't that seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start the bowels working right; then it is up tp you to keep them right by right eating. Try Pleasant Pellets for sick headache, coated tongue, biliousness, dizziness, torpid liver or to break up a cold. They are just fine! Dr. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Oint ment soothes, cools and heals piles in a most gratifying way. Perhaps there is no other remedy for this torturing trouble that relieves so surely and quickly. Dr. Pierce be lieves Anpdyno Pile Ointment will overcome any case that can be over come by medical treatment. Try It right now. Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are intended for people who suffer from kidney disorders —whose backs ache, arid Whose systems are over-run with uric acid. Nearly everybody has too much uric acid. Anuric Tab lets dissolve uric acid quickly, as tboy are made double strength.

UNUSUAL WILL CASE IN COURT Contest of Mother of Eccentric Printer Comes Up For Trial After Lapse of Ten Years Sunbury, -Pa., June 11. —An un usual will case was tried before Judge Boyle, of Luzerne county, spe cially presiding in the Northumber land county court here yesterday. Elmer Scott, an eccentric printer, died at Shamokin in 1909, leaving the bulk of his $5,000 estate to be invested and the proceeds to be spent annually to provide a Christmas tree and gifts for Sliamokin's poor chil dren. His mother, Mrs. Esther Scott, contested the will on the grounds that he was the victim of chronic alcoholism at the time of his death and in no mental condition to make a will. Much testimony to this effect was offered by the plaintiff's counsel, J. A. Welsh, of Shamokin, while no defense was offered. The case was in the courts ten years before a jury trial was order ed. A peculiar condition existed. Judge Mnfer, before he was elected to the bench was executor of Scott's estate, and Judge Cummings was in terested as counsel for the plaintiff before he became a judge of the courts. So Judge Boyle was called in to preside over the trial of the issue. - J Commencement Exercises at Ickesburg High School Ickesburg, Pa., June 11. —Anreual commencement exercises of the Ickesburg joint high school, will be held in the Patriotic Order Sons of America Hall on Thursday eve ning.
