lieve the bowels of gas within hf-
teen minutes. and that it will perma-
nently cure the most aggravated cases
within two or three weeks. Anyone
is free to use this formula and make

A statement has been made to the
effect that President Roosevelt, after
accompanying his successor. Mr.. Taft,
to the senate chamber and later on to
the east portico of the capitol where
the new president takes the oath of
office and delivers his inaugural, is
not to return to the White House with
President Taft, but is to take the train
Immediately for New York City. Rarely
if ever, it is declared has the outgoing
president since war days returned to
the White House on such an occasion
with his successor. The custom has
been that when the president and the

for the senate chamber and the east
portico the outgoing president has not
returned to the White House.
