Your stomach is weak and your bowels are always constipated. There's an old and re- liable cure: Don't take a cathartic dose and then stop. Bet- ter take a laxative dose each night, just enough to cause one good free move- ment the day following. You feel better the very next day.

Cook gave four bases on balls and became unnerved io the Stn that Johnson was substituted. He would nave been easy had the game been longer. This was the sixth straight victory for Malone and demonstrated the kind of ball we are pat- ting ap. Following is the tabulated score: MALONE, A. B. R. goes.

W. W. Ch'aSD^lain, of East Con stable, started out for the Adirondack summer resorts Monday with a wagon loaded with twelve kinds of the finest fresh vegetables, besides chickens and eggs. The vegetables comprised new beets, car- rots, cabbages, corn, cueanibers, etc., and they were so arranged as to make a band some sight. Mr. Chamberlain bas two and a half acres of cabbages, on which there are twelve thousand plants. This trip vras made by team to establish a trade for his produce at \the summer re sorta, with tbe expectation of supplying matl orders by express or freight in tbe future.
