The Twilight of Life.

The muscles of the stomach in old
age are not rs strong or active as in
youth and in consequence old people
are very subject to constipation and
indigestion. Many seldom have bow

Many also. have unpleasant eructions
of gas from the stomach after eating.
All this can be avoided by the use of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
permanently regulates the bowels so
that passages come naturally, and so
strengthens the stomach that food IS
digested without discomfort. 1t is alb

The Business Situation

Bradstrect's says: Three fac
tors helped to expand trade in a
moderate way last week-fall fes-
rivals, the advance of the season
and the ending o: the vacation
period. On the whole, recent de-
velopmentS are relatively more
favorable, but still conservatism in
buying is everywhere visible.
In industrial circles, the drift
has been in 4 more favorable d.
rect!on, owing chiefly to diminish
ed fears OF immediate strikes of
railway shopmen on Western
lines, and the the resumption OF
some New England textile mills.
here is considerable room for
iruther improvement before any
thing like marked activity can be
proclaimed in the cotton goods
line.
In the iron and steel trade, the
long expected fall buying of fin
ished material has not appeared.
Prices still favor buyers. Pig iron
continues quiet, though stocks at
some points have been reduced
through shipments, this too not
withstanding that production in
Augusta expanded. The railways
are doing more in consonance with
the season, and there are fewer
idle cars than at any time since
last December.

States for the week ending Sep
