tenants OF the apartment house could
hear the old lady storming and rag

derstood that the young man was
merely teasing her. II seems. how
ever, that the young man went a tri-
lie too far and leased his mother
once too often The strain proved
too much for her and in her exasper-

fallen asleep; then she turned on the
gas In his room and retired TO her

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 az we'll as by thousands who
have used 1t, 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.. Caldwe1l's Syrup Pepsin. DR.,
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and

Lewis Amadeus Anspach, who lived

spruce beer, and gives a recipe for the
making of 1t as follows:
Another beverage in common use
there, cheap, pleasant, and very whole
some, is spruce beer. A Dough Of
black spruce, fresh from the tree, is
chopped into small pieces and put into
an iron pot containing about six or
eight gallons OF water; this is hung
over a large fire and left to boil for
several hours, until the leaves come

the rate of about one gallon for
eighteen gallons; the whole Is stirred
up, and when sufficiently cooled Is
poured into the cask, where pint OF
the grounds left by the former brew

scalded has been previously put. The
cask being completely filed with cold
water, is we'll shaken and left to fer

A popular beverage on the islands OF
St. Pierre and MiQuelon, particularly
among the bank fishermen, Is spruce
beer. The neighboring Newfoundland

among the French. It has been brew
ed in Newfoundland from very early

opinion of Sir William Vaughan, who
attempted to found colony ON the
southeast coast in 1917, that strong
