Hook


y >
\ young fellow about twenty, dwarf
ed and yellow, took the treatment for
hookworm disease few weeks ago
and now has roses in his cheeks for
the first time in years and finds a
keener joy in living than he has ever
known before. But unfortunately he
took the treatment too late for him
ever to reach normal size. He will
always be stunted in body. That is
Itself a tragedy and it seems some
how as if he ought to have a chance
now to start life without such a hanGi-
cap. And yet he seized the first oD-
portunity that came to him, and his
tragedy is not so deep as that Of af-
fected children whose parents might
have them treated but are kept from
doing so through some foolish preiu-
dice.--The Progressive Farmer

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA, VA, MAY IL

Through the discovery Of a law, pro-
viding for the filling of vacancies In city
offices, caused by death, the status OF
two members OF common council bids
fair to be the subject of litigation In
the courts. These two are Robert M.
Graham, councilman from the Second
ward, who was elected over year ago
by council to succeed Louis Brill, and
Urban s. Lambert, who only last month
was appointed to the vacancy in the
First ward, after O. closely contested
fight for the seat Of the late Hubert
Snowden.
Through an act approved by the State
legislature on February II. 1905, 1t Is
provided that when any vacancy shall
occur in any municipal office, which is
filled by popular vote, city council shall
| make an appointment until the holding
of the next general election, when a
/ candidate shall be named by the people
to fill out the balance of the terra.
The next general election will be held
in June, and according to this law. In
Mr.. Lambert's case, he will have ia
enter It, with a strong possibility Of op-
position, II he desires to hold his seat
whereas the original belief was that
September, 1914, when the Snowden term
| expired.
1t is said that this will not be pos.
sible in Mr.. Graham's place. as he ha'
moved his residence from the ward he
represents, and therefore cannot com

A Permanent Cure for
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute It who
have not tried II, yet thousands of
others. who speak from personal expert
ence. assert that there is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some
testify they were cured for as little as
fifty cents, years ago, and that the
trouble never came back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles
before steady cure was brought about.
The remedy referred to 1t DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t has been on
the market for over a quarter of a CEN
tury, and has been popularized on its
merits. by one person telling another.
The fact that its strongest supporters
are women and elderly people-the ones
most persistently constipated-makes II
certain that the claims regarding II as
a permanent cure for constipation have
not been exaggerated.
