Reliable Laxative for
 Old People Given Free

Life Is so arranged that there is a close resemble nee between infancy and old age. By this is not meant the men tai but the physical faculties. For ex- ample, the organ of digestion is the most difficult thing the child has to contend with. as 1t is that of the old person.
 When a person gets past middle life his power of digestion decreases. and continues to grow weaker, and for that reason so pany old people are habitu- ally constipa ted. They try everything recommended from hot water to strong cathartics without avail. Now. if there Is any one thing a person of advanced years should not take 1t is cathartic. The bowels cannot stand 1t. What Is required Is . mild, gentle. non-griping Iiquid laxative.

 A few nights ago fireman discovered a body of a young woman hidden ir a cupboard of restaurant which had been in flames at Schoenwald. As result of preliminary inquiries the restaurant pro- prietor has been detained.
 The fire broke out late at night. While hacking the smouldering woodwork with his hatchet one of the fremen knocked m the door of a cupboard. Within was the body of a young woman, handsome and well-dressed, doubled up.
 One cheek was badly burned, while the other bore the mark of a wound and signs of blood The body was allowed to remain undisturbed while the police were sent for. It is believed that the young woman, Marie Schondemeier. was the sweetheart of the proprietor
 A servant asserts that just before the fire broke out she heard shrieks commg from the apartment in which the body was found. One hypothesis advanced to account for the mysterious discovery is
 that the girl set fire to the apartment in order to avenge herself on her lover, who. it Is said, was about to be married to an- other woman. and that in her panic she mstook the door of the cupboard for rne door leading out of the room.
 There was rumor that nihilists had com mitted an act of vengeance but the mag
 istrate's inquiry showed that the res- tauranteur, whose forthcoming marriage was only announced on the previous day
 met at cafe and there had an angry ai- tercation with her. What happened is not clear, but 1t is known that she had private key admitting her to the res- taurant.
 Another arrest has been made in con- nection with the murder of the widow Boffrnan who was shot dead last Deco .n- Der in her flat by some person. who, after parleying in a feigned female voice with the police who were attempting to obtasn admission. escaped down the back stairs. At first suspicion fell on a carman, who. however. was only detained in custody d few days. Then a saddler, who lived vn the house of the tragedy was arrested. and many weeks passed before he could induce the police to set. him If uberfy4
