Something is out of order mnside of you HE strain and hurry of modern living con- ditions exact a_heavy penalty from many men and women. Constipation is rampant to- day more than ever in history before. Yet, harmfully as congested bowels act in under- mining the general health, it is fortunate that they frequently give plain-spoken notice of the damage they are doing. Bad breath is one of the warning signals. At the first sign of it, wash out your stomach and bowels with efficacious Pluto Water. Pluto Water acts promptly. In 30 minutes to two hours after taking, the foul accumulations that cause bad breath begin to leave the sys- tem—and Pluto Water never gripes after use. Keep a bottle of this safe water physic in your home at all times. It is prescribed by physi- a thorough federation, embracing all T T % | : Maurice J.

The American workman vielded himself to the general piricism of the race. The movement directed by Mr. Gompers does not absorb all of the organized labor ac- tivity. But it dominates it.
