FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST USE CASCARETS.
What Glasses Are to Weak Ewes
Cascarets Are to Weak Bowels
"a Io-cent Box Will Truly
Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
|tion is perfectly natural. 1t is just
AS natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age Is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
OF the old need is gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The onlv
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you Sleep.

rapidly and all railroad men working in
the vicinity of Springfield were requested
to watch for trace of the fugitives

negro enter a box car at Durbin. They
permitted them to remain in the car until
it reached Troy. when futile attemp

pursued them.
The railroad men were gaining rap
idly. when the men turned on them and
fired. Two bullets struck Conductor

other in the arm. When the shooting
began Brakeman Brown attempted to
dodge behind q small building, but bull
let struck him in the lung before he
could reach shelter.

Blind Negro to Be Cared For.

John Steward. a decrepit blind colored
man, for the past half century a familiar
figure on King street, has at last been
sent to the almshouse, where he will
spend the remainder of his days. John
was known to many. and with his bat
tered tin cup and a cardboard sign on
his breast bearing these words, Please
Help the Blind was the recipient Of
many pieces of small coin from the
charitably inclined. In late years he has
been growing very feeble and 1t was with
great effort that he reached the place
on King street where he stood in all
sorts of weather. The future of old John
will be made as pleasant as possible for
him. No more will he have to seek aims
from the kind-hearted who have for SO
many years contributed to his support.
