THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with D chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack Of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases. drowsiness after
eating, headache and a feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives Of every kind, rec
ommending q mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain N effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. It possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and Is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. It is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin In SOC and $1.00
bottles. II you have never tried It

Had Some Scheme In View.
The police Of Rome have not yet
discovered just what game he was
up to when they caught him. He had
been there only two days, having come
from Turin. He had called upon an
eagraver and ordered 200 visiting
cards bearing the high-sounding name
"Monsignor Jean Boni de Caller des
Marquis de Villamoir," half of them
with "Tours" as his residence, half
with Rome" He had paid four lire
about 80 cents-deposit on them,
and had given as his address mo. AZ
Via di Santa Chiara," which is that
of the French ecclesiastical SEM
mary.
The following day he had visited the
studio of the Cavaliere Felice, off,
cial photographer of the Vatican, and
expressed a desire to buy the photo
graphs of some cardinals. At his ease
in a big arm chair the bogus prelate
turned the pages Of big album. from
which he selected pictures of Cardi-
nal Merry del Val, Cardinal Rampallo
and Cardinal Granite di Beltmonte.
which he took and paid for.
A high parsonage at the Vatican de-
scribed the adventurer thus:
HE seemed an attractive person,
both in face and in manners, al
though rather affected and slightly too
unctious. There was a certain indie
scribable something about him that
made one hesitate to trust him fully.
From the few sentences l exchanged
with him I formed the impression that
his culture was layer Of plating COW
ering base metal.
1T was easy for him to penetrate
the seminaries and the monasteries
Every one Of these has a weak spot
somewhere, and he had but to discov-
er this. Remember how Nine. Hum

steeI-MakIns Town by Night.

Those who have lived in steel-mak.
ing towns never forget the sight of the
great mills in operation at night. The
tall chimneys that point their black
fingers sykward by day at night turn
into wonderful candles. each with its
waving, many colored flame pickering
against the black sky. The iron
sheathed buildings seem to reflect q
white glow from every opening, and
every window is spot of light. Now
and then burst of fame from a con-
verter shoots upward, filling the air
with glittering sparks. Then a train
load Of hot metal creeps through the
yard. some Of the metal suffering and
glowing and another part darkening
into a rich red. If 1t is a wire mill
there is seemingly endless tube Of
heated wire in coils travelling along an
overhead conveyor. Nearer the roll
ing mill the coils are very white. but
they grow DINNER. until those farthest
away from the hot mills are black and
invisible.

many years.
It would be impossible and useless
to make list of those he has swim
died. 1t is believed he has got away
with several millions Of francs In all.
The greater number Of his victims
have made no formal complaint
against him, preferring to pocket their
losses rather than to suffer the chat
fing Of their friends because Of their
gullibility. But 1t Is known that among
the sufferers are cardinals, archbish-
ops, abbots Of monasteries, mother su-
periors and abbesses Of converts and
noble men and women who are chart
tably disposed.
How did he do It? In many ways
He forged letters Of introduction from
one bishop to another. He ingratiated
himself here and there by conspicuous
acts Of charity and piety and so got
genuine letters Of Introduction from
prelates and mobiles.
Among those upon whom he i'm
posed was the Dowager Duchess Of
Genoa, mother Of Queen Margherita
Of Italy, in whose private chapel at
Novara he said mass, and from whom
he received a present.
About to Say Mass.
When caught in Rome he was about
to go to st. Peters to say mass, tho

Pontifical academy called "dei Nobili

been piling up for several days.
They were all directed to 1.-The Rev.
Granite di Belmonte," name he was
using In certain quarters where he had
posed as a nephew Of Cardinal Gran

tiers were in feminine hands and dain-
tily perfumed. They were puzzle
to Mgr. francesca Sogaro. archbishop
of Armida, the president of the col

and read the list Of names the fellow
had used. Then he sent all the let
tiers to the police. They are said to
throw brilliant light on Gindris
methods.
The police were astonished when
they searched the trunks in Gindrfs

Via del Babuino. His trunks and

HAPPINESS Postponed.

An awkward predicament in which
a sailor bridegroom and his bride were
placed in st. Mary Majors church, Elk
eter, Devonshire, England, recently
caused the postponement Of their we'd
ding. The banns had been duly called
at the church, but when the parties
presented themselves at the altar the
bridegroom, who had been recently
paid off from his ship at Portsmouth,
was unable to produce the necessary
permission from his commander. The
bride swooned, and eventually re-
turned home, while the bridegroom
left for Plymouth to get the required
document.
