While Washington today is shivering
because OF the return Of the cold wave,
those who made arrangements for a
weekend trip to Old Point Comfort and

spring weather is said to prevail in this
section of Tidewater Virginia. The
modern hotels at Old Point are now en-

famous resort is the scene of much life
and activity.
Many Washingtonians who have Wis
tied Old Point have taken advantage or
the daylight water trip up the James
river to Richmond.
The weekend trips to Old Point and
to Norfolk are being featured by the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat

The Perfect Laxative
For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter life.
But 1t is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise from mac
uvity. Chief Of these are chronic,
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symptoms
OF belching, drowsiness after eating,
headaches. and general lassitude. Fre-
quentIy there is difficulty of digesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as 1t Is hard to find a suitable
remedy. First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not
use salts, cathartic pills or powders,
waters or any OF the more violent pur-
