Most old people must give to the

as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly For age is never so act

elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all cid people need Cascarets.
One might rs we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid TO weak bowels. The bow.

as at fifty.
Age Is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. Bat lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels OF
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only

In such very considerable sums OF
money did he wager that people be-
gan to think there was something In

almost entirely to his ship. arguing

1t is practically certain the summer
baseball question will come up for dis

with the situation. the measure to al
low athletes to play baseball for money
in summer has fair chance of pass
ing. After the one year residence rule
was adopted Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin were In favor of allowing their
athletes to play summer baseball. The
other representatives were opposed.
Now Minnesota has come out for sum-
mer baseball and efforts will be made
to secure other votes.
If the measure is passed by majori-
ty vote at today's meeting it must come
up again within sixty days and then
must be passed by two-thirds ma

$4,000. Mcfarland had been guaran-

percentage option, which ran to some
thing like $2,S0o. Murphy's end was

he was given 30 per cent of the re-
ceipts, or $4,000.
