What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes, Cas-.

Cent Box Will Truly Amaze You.
Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton 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 bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages. but SO much
as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used e-ery day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and ma
tural tonic. One thai can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

Of construction of fire-proof school

In New York. st. Louis. or Boston, ac-
cording to the annual report of Snow
den Ashford, municipal architect, sub
mitted to the Commissioners today.
Contractors, 1t is said. have reduced
their profits to so low a percentage
that few outsiders can compete with
the Washington builders.
In my fourteen years. experience
in the construction of District build
ings," the municipal. Architect says,
during which tame more than fifty
school houses have been erected,
cannot recall more than three that
have been constructed by outside con-
tractors, Notwithstanding we have
received bids from many other cities.
The margin of profit is so low on our
buildings, that many contractors,
after repeated efforts, have ceased to
bid in competition, but We continue to
obtain from five TO fifteen bids on
each building.
The average cost per cubic foot OF
our Washington schooI buildings, con-
structed within the last five years, is
1901 cents, about the same as that OF
the Chicago schools, notwithstanding
the larger size of the buildings OF
Chicago They are much less costly
than the school buildings of Boston,

one-half cent more than the build
