Folks Past Fifty
Must Use 'Cascarets'
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes, Cas-
carets Are to Weak Bowels. Old
People Need Them and the
Need Is Only Natural.

You old people Cascarets are par
ticularly for you. You who don't ex-
ercise as much as you need to. You
who like the easy chair. You whose
steps are slow. and whose muscles are
less elastic. You must realize that your
bowels have also become less active.
Don't regard Cascarets as physic.
They stimulate the bowels just as some
foods will do; just as exercise would do.
If you took enough of it. They are not
harsh, like salts and cathartics. The
help which they give to weak bowels is
just as natural and gentle as the spur
of youth.
When eyes grow dim, you help them.
Do the same with the bowels when age
makes them less active. There is moth
ing more important. Costive bowels
mean the decaying food is clogged
there. And the ducts of the bowels
suck its poisons into the blood. You
can't feel well until this is corrected.
But do it gently-not with a bowel ir-
ritant. And do it regularly-one Cas-
caret a day Coax the weak bowels
don't drive them. Just try a 10 cent
box of Cascarets.

BATTLES FEET IN POISON.
Herman DOering May Lose His Feet
From Friends Advice

Wichita, Kan, June IA bottle of
poisonous corrosive sublimate was
handed around the home of Herman
Doering, the past six months without
ill effects. The Doerings thought the
bottle contained harmless alum.
A few days ago hot weather came on
and Mr.. Doering, began to suffer from
tender feet. Friends to whom he COM
planned said:
"Bathe your feet in alum water
Mr.. Doering hunted up what was
left of the bottle of supposed alum and
made up foot bath. When he placed
both feet in the pan of irritating muir
curial poison he realized that the bot
tie of alum" was something else. Two
physicians were called on in the effort
to save Mr.. Doering's life. His life
may be spared. but his belief that the
bottle of white powder was alum may
cost him three or four toes. He all
ready has lost toe-nails and his feet
are still in bad condition.

National, Anthems.

Neither State songs nor national an
thems can be evoked by the use of
money. This has been demonstrated
by the failure of the States Of New
York and Missouri in their offers of
cash premiums for the words and mu-
sic of an official song Nobody seems
to be satisfied with the words, and the
music has been rejected -unqualihedly.
This argues but poorly for the success
of the plan put on foot recently by
the president of the Chicago board of
education for the submission of new
national anthem Pupils of the public
schools have contributed several hun
dred dollars toward this end, but there
is no assurance that it will be more
effective than the other attempts.
Patriotic songs must be neither con-
ventional nor commonplace. They are, as
we all know, the outcome of inspira-
ton. They cannot be made to order.
