How to Cure
Constipation

Few people altogether escape disor-
der of the bowels. You may catch cold,
over-eat, over-drink, worry too much,
not exercise enough or do hundred and
one other things that result in constipa-
ton or costiveness. When the trouble
comes it Is well to know what to do for it.
In the opinion of thousands there is no
better cure for constipation than DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which anyone
can obtain for so cents or ST at drug
store. We all have constipation occa-
sionally, and the sensible thing to do Is
to have bottle of this remedy always in the
house. You take It at night on retiring, for
example, and when you wake up in the morning
at your usual hour 1t produces It's results,
Your stomach inStan tly becomes lighter, your
head clearer, your eyes brighter. you feel active
and spry once again. your appetite has re-
siasm and vigor. All this may not have taken
more than a dose or two. at cost not to exceed
two or three cents. Can you afford to feel bad
when you can feel good for so little?
DR.. Wilson Brown. Of Metropolis Ill, has no
hesitancy in saying that DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin is the greatest OF all laxatives and he
frankly admits to his patients that II they used
it when the stomach. liver or bowels got out of
order they would have less need of him. It is
without doubt the best cure for occasional or
chronic constipation. dyspepsia. biliousness.
jaundice, sour stomach. lazy liver. fatulepcy,
6iarrhea, and similar digestive ills In old or
young. It Is thousand times better than salts
or purgative waters acts gently but surely. is
pleasant to the taste. does not grippe. and cures
permanently.
60 to your druggist and get a 80 cent or 81
bottle and see If our claims are not justified.

DROP A NICKEL IN THE SLOT.
New Way of Paying Street Car Fares
Is Planned.

New York, March 24.-Nickel-in-
tn e-slot methods of collecting fares are
indicated as a possibility for practical
ly the whole Manhattan surface street
car system in statements by General
Manager Oren Root of the Metropoll-
tan Street Railway company. Mr..
Root said yesterday that nickel-in-the-
slot machines for receiving fares
would within short time be installed
on the new pay-as-you-enter cars of
the Madison and Fourth avenue line,
leaving the conductors entirely free
for the important task of starting and
stopping the cars, which, in the opin-
ion of the manager, will mean the
elimination of many accidents. 1t was
too early, Mr.. Root said, to predict the
extension of the system to the other
city lines, but the company, he added,
expected much from the experiment
which it is making on the Madison
avenue line.

Charge of Speeding His Auto Is Re.
neWed in Court.

New York, March 24-William K.
Vanderbilt, jr., was arraigned before
Justice Olmstead, in the court of spe-
cial sessions, on a charge of speeding
his automobile. The complainant was
Bicycle Policeman Martin. At the
time of his arrest three weeks ago, Mr..
Vanderbilt was discharged in the
Yorkville court by his friend, Magis-
trate Kerno chan, who refused to be-
lieve the policeman's testimony that
the automobile was exceeding the legar
speed limit.
The appearance of Mr.. Vanderbilt
in special sessions was the result of a
letter received by District Attorney
Jerome from Police Commissioner
Bingham last week in which the COM
missioner stated that he did not feel
that Martin had been treated fairly by
Magistrate Kernochan.
Mr.. Vanderbilt pleaded not guilty to
the charge. The case was adjourned
and Judge Olmstead held the de-
fendant in 500 bail.
