To clean your bowels without cramping or over acting, take ■“■Cas carets.” Sick headache, dizzi ness, biliousness, gases, indigestion, sour upset stom ach and all such (Prepared by the National Geographic So ciety, Washington, D. C.) Corsica, the scented isle just south of the Riviera, is, like every other country, a land of contrasts. But more than most, it is the land of para dox. Behind the striking beauty of the island, concealed beneath the com monplace exteriors of the people, there is a mystery, a contrary quality which first escapes observation and later in trudes everywhere. Probably nowhere is a generalization more likely to be true and false at the same time. One goes to Corsica, as did Boswell’s friend, expecting to find every bandit a menace. He remains to find the man with the gun the most unroman tic of mortals. Melodrama heroes have accomplished more with the glit ter of a silver spoon held revolver wise than the most Tartarinesque of Corsicans attempt when loaded to the belt. Yet personal encounter between natives is still a commonplace. Corsica, where women go safely alone by night and gendarmes travel in pairs by day, where there are hun dreds of bridges and no rivers, where every one expects the visitor to pay verbal tribute to “Kalliste” (Most Beautiful) and few can name the mountains in whose shadow they were born! Banditry is still a byword and thiev ery is abhorred. The innkeepers boast of what grand things they would do if there were more tourists, and neglect the few they have. The sun gives the land its charm; and the snow, its beauty and health. The roads are blocked by horses, mules and donkeys, few of them laden, and the automobile, even for the single traveler, offers the cheapest means of transportation. The perfume of the maquis and the smells of the streets are alike indescribable. Animals, made roommates, are treat ed cruelly, and children, seldom at home, are generally allowed to do as they please. Life is somber and death is still the supreme event to those whose monotonous days are as tenaciously clung to as in happier and less lovely lands. The mountain sides are terraced with infinite labor and the most fer tile plains are left untilled. The sea is all around and mariners are few. Bad sailors that they are, the Cor sicans claim kinship with Columbus, and, indomitable fighters, they ignore Napoleon. Sacred personages, pic tured on many walls, are profaned on most male lips. The donkeys and pigs feed on chest nuts of such quality that few In rich er lands could afford, and every third child seems underfed. Life Is Lived There. But as one looks back on Corsica from the confetti-strewn Corso in Nice, he longs for the simple, un spoiled, paradoxical paradise to the south, so comfortless, yet so compel ling in its charm. With however little earnestness life in Corsica seems to be conducted, it is real. In Nice, life is acted; in Corsica it is lived —and lost. In post-war Europe the interest In Corsica is almost unique. Life has un dergone comparatively slight changes. No new boundary touches the people, nor any change of governmental con trol or nationality. Corsican mountain lads fought splendidly on the fields of France and 40,000 of them, out of a population of less than 300,000, gave their lives for “la belle patrle”; but no treaty resulting from the war af fected the inner life of the Corsican people. An excess-profits tax is un known to the thousands who, always living with a minimum of effort, have never known what capital and surplus are. The movement toward the cities, so striking elsewhere, has affected Cor sica little. The largest of its indus tries hires but a handful of men. Be yond the coasts there are only three towns that have a population of more than 3,000 and the thousand or so in habitants credited by the census to a THE BULLETIN. IRWINTON, GEORGIA. single village are really divided among several hamlets, included un der one name but scattered about the hillside in a fashion which reveals separatist tendencies even in town af fairs. By following the coast we shall see most of the larger villages of the Is land and by so much lose sight of the true Corsican, who looks down in a real as well as a figurative sense on those who live in what to him are crowded cities. Scenery, Not Costumes. Nowhere has nature so queened it over her subjects. The people add nothing to the scene. Certainly they do not give it its interest. From the attractive widow’s weeds of the Cours Napoleon or the Place St. Nicolas to the somber costume with green-black headshawl which frames the sallow, wrinkled faces of the old woman of the interior, costume never flares forth with lambent color as it does in Sar dinia, In India, or on the Dalmatian coast. The men wear brown cordu roy ; sometimes their sashes are broad enough and bright enough to add pig ment to the picture. But the Corsicans are humble folk. They gladly subordinate themselves to the scenery, saying that the land is so beautiful that it needs no poly chrome costumes to make it attrac tive. And when one sees with what indifferent success the townfolk do wear colors, he quickly reconciles him self to the somber garb which stands out so modestly against the beauty of the land itself. Countless tiny terraces, where crops grow at such cost of labor as one finds among the Ifugaos of the Philippines or among the Chinese, testify to the fact that the Corsican is not truly slovenly. A certain thrift and fore sight are habitual with him. When the Greeks, no amateurs in beauty, called Corsica “Kalliste’’ — Most Beautiful—they referred to rugged coasts where blood-red rocks plunge deep into the sea, where a soft haze carries the succession of loveli ness across wide plains, between tall mountains, to some distant snow-clad peak, all opalesecent under the soft glow of departing day, where cascades pc^ir their shower of pearls against rock cliffs as black as ebony. Corsica is interesting because it Is Corsica. With all its discomforts, the laggard land is worth a visit because it is laggard. Such unspoiled spots are so few in the modern world that one can tolerate petty inconveniences for the sake of knowing a people who have been little affected by modern ism. Napoleon’s Town. Ajaccio is Napoleon’s home town. One is never allowed to forget that. But he did Corsica the great dishonor of quitting her shores, and few Corsi cans seem to care much about him. Today Napoleon is to Ajaccio what Fujiyama Is to Japan and the Capitol to Washington—a sort of trademark of the place, with souvenirs of all sorts bearing his likeness and post cards picturing his home in the Rue St. Charles and his, battles across half the world. Officially, Ajaccio has done well by her renowned son. The boulevard of the city is the Cours Napoleon. The visitor who arrives by sea lands pn the Qua! Napoleon. There is the Rue du Rio de Rome and the Rue Na poleon. There is the Place du Premier Consul, the Casa Napoleon, Napoleon’s Grotto, the Case Napoleon, and the Cinema Napoleon. The peo ple make the concession of smoking Petit Caporal cigarettes. Napoleon's house is a barrack-like structure, which it would be impos sible to see In Its proper perspective If the destruction of two houses op posite had not made possible the lit tle Place Letizia, from which one can view the whole height of four stories, the upper three marked by 18 regular windows, as well as the family arms and the tablet reading: “Napoleon I I Est ne dans Cette Maison le XV Aout I 1760.” jl Few^ @ Little ^SmttesX HIS REAL PROBLEM The father promised he would do what he could for him, but with cer tain limitations as to the providing of money. “But,” said he, “I hope you will un derstand that you will never get on in the world unless you adopt a more rigid code of morals and the pur pose to keep straight.” “Rigidity sounds very well, dad,” agreed the’youth, “but I wish you’d make clear to me how a chap’s to keep straight while he’s trying to make both ends meet.” ONLY BIG MONEY TALKS “So you don’t think money talks much?” “No; that is, not till it gets big." Imperfect Job Os many a self-made man we know There can be little doubt; In some respects he’d be Improved Had he given the contract out. They All Do Mr. Bacon —Did you hear those measly roosters crowing this morning early ? Mrs. Bacon —Yes, dear. Mr. Bacon —I wonder what on earth they want to do that for? Mrs. Bacon —Why, don’t you remem ber, dear, you got up one morning early, and you crowed about it for a week? —The Watchword (Dayton, Ohio). Safety First An Englishman was teaching a Scot tish business friend how Jo play golf. On the first tee, he poured out a co pious stream of instructions and wound up with the fine old maxim: “But remember, Sandy, whatever you do, keep your eye on the ball.” “I will that,” said Sandy, who had just paid a crown for it. “I dinna trust that caddie o’ mine at all.” Fair Play Jack —Say, Bill. We’ve been in hard luck, ain’t we? I’ll tell you wot we’ll do. You insure your life in my favor for SI,OOO and I’ll do the same for you. Bill—Wol; wot good’ll that do us? Jack —Why, we’ll jus’ load up our guns, step off 30 paces and see who gets the money. A Long Toss-Up At a golf club one Sunday morning a member turned up late. Asked why, he said it was really a toss-up wheth er he should come there that morning or go to church. “And I had to toss up fifteen times,” he added. —Zion Review. CONVENIENT JACKS “When your machine broke down in the street how’d you ever manage to get it fixed?” “Oh, there are always a lot of jacks standing around that want to help.” That’s What Life Is just a-sayin’ Sweetest things to you; Don’t need harps for playin' And a Georgia fiddle, too!

To Wage War on Locusts The South African government has organized a scientific expedition of a semi-military character to invade the Great Kalahari desert that lies north west of the Union and is believed to be the breeding place of the locusts that have swarmed over the northern districts of South Africa for the last five years, devastating crops, killing cattle and ruining the farmers.
