A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
spcnsible for the constipated condition
Of most elderly people. The wear of
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as we'll as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send trial bottle, free of charge,
to all who write for it. Address DIR.

ROYALTY WELCOMES the
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HIeHNEss, THE DUKE
OF CoNNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

1t was happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke Of
Connaught, Governor General of Can
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. 1t
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And. as 1t was specially intended for
American ears, the audience COM
prsed largely of so many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city of Macleod, with the foothills Of
the Rockies as a setting, and the
great wheat fields between. and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground. that fIis Highness. true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part:
II am we'll aware that among those
whom am now addressing, there are
very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed
with this provision every one is
free to come and go, to marry. to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as it pleases Providence.
I'VE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation
ality, for we do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we well
come our Canadian and British broth
ers. who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself For
many years hundreds OF young Brit
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about change, and the tide has set
