LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEOPLE "CASCARETS. 4"
What glasses are to weak
eyes, Cascarets are to
weak bowels-Try a
1O-cent box.

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 never SO much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But 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
10 cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.

The danger of explosion in mines Is
not entirely confined to inflamma BILE
gases. carelessly managed fuses and
neglected charges or cartridg es. 1t has
been observed that in lead mines some
of the slate rocks are likely TO burst on
being scratched with Il pick. The ex.
plosion is supposed to be due either to
gases inclosed in the rocks or to mole
cular strains. Not long ago n severe ex.
plosion of slate rock occurred in a mine
at Hillgrove. New South Wales. and
the shock was felt for a mile or two
orer the surrounding country. In this
instance 1t is believed that the rock
wall where the explosion occurred was
subjected to a mechanical strain.-Chi.

], ]. BOYLE LOSES
CASE At EATON
Author of "Frenzied Justice
Is Given Another Serious
Jolt in Court.
palladium Specially

EATON, O., Nov. 23.-James J.
Boyle, of Hamilton, former resident
of New Paris, who gained statewide
attention a few years ago when he is
sued a pamphlet styled "Frenzied JUS
tice," lost a s10,777.77 damage suit
against the village of New Paris Fri
day in the common pleas court Fol-
lowing the argument of Boyle and at
torneys for the defendants, Judge w.
w. Teegarden, of Greenville, sustained
a motion to have the case dismissed.
He also ordered that Court Clerk ]. H.
Jones file no further papers in the
case until after examination by the
court.
The suit had it's inception several
years ago when the village council of
New Paris laid some streets and alleys
through certain lands owned by Boyle.
A suit against the village followed,
and Boyle was defeated in both the
common pleas and circuit courts. His
belief that justice was not being
squarely meted out to him doubtless
inspired the book, "Frenzied Justice"
In the publication the author attack
ed former Common pleas Judge Elan
Fisher, several circuit judges and all
the attorneys interested in the suit in
opposition to him.
AS a result of his alleged SANDER
GUS attacks, the matter was reported to
a Preble county grand jury and he was
indicted. The case, however, was
never called for trial.
Boyle has had little use for attor-
neys since his first suit. as is plainly
illustrated in his pamphlet, and in all
his cases since that time he has acted
as his own attorney.
His belief that he has not and will
never receive a square deal in the To-
cal courts is still firm with him, and
previous to his latest litigation he
mailed post cards to daily papers in
surrounding cities, stating that "if they
would send representative here dur
ing the trial they would see the kind
of justice that had been meted out
to him in Preble county courts for
the past ten years"

the regular monthly meeting tonight
at $3.50 o'clock There are quite
number Of important matters to come
up for the consideration Of the board.
The Pennsylvania Railroad announ-
ces a new limited train service be-
ginning Sunday. This service is from
Chicago to Springfield, Ohio. The
train from Chicago arrives at GAS p.
m. leaves at 6:55 p. m, arriving in
Springfield at 9:15 p. m. The return
train arrives in Richmond at 1920 p.

Speaking about railroad passenger
train schedules: The new one the c.

about the most insignificant imitation
OF time card that Richmond travel
ing men have had to "rassle" with
for some time. 1t would seem that the

nor anything else. If you want con-
Segment of freight to be in transit
from the Fourth of July to Christmas
just route it C. & o. Honestly their
agents and freight crews don't know
that such towns as Marion, Converse,
Jonesboro, and a number of others
like them, are located on their line at
ALL and we doubt whether those
"highbrows" down at Richmond, Va,
know where the state OF Indiana is
Now to add insult to injury and rub it
in good and strong they have put on a
train schedule that no self respecting
travelling man ought to have the au-
dacity to tackle. The poor peddler"
who sells his wares up and down the
c. C o. has hard rocky road and no
matter what his salary is he ought to
have more. Probably the c.. & o.
thinks Richmond travelling men only
make Cincinnati and Chicago. Just
what the merchants in all of the towns
between Richmond and Cincinnati,
and Richmond and Chicago are going
to do for good does not concern them.
