ton is perfectly natural. 1t is lust 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 well 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 "a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is 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

New Highway Legislation

Annual Report Of Fairfield &

Needless Deaths from Diphtheria,
Says Board Of Health Bulletin.
STATE HOUSE.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council, Friday, Oct. 10, at 10 A. M.


1t is generally believed that the 18th
Legislature will make a number Of
important changes in the State high
way law and amendments to the pres
ent law are already being discussed
One important amendment which is
likely to be presented at the coming
legislative session, is a provision, such
as obtains in Vermont, giving the
State highway commissioner discre-
tionary power to withhold State aid
from any town that neglects to main
tain its pieces of State road already
built. Another suggested amendment
is one compelling towns to complete
construction on a piece of road before
they can build farther on along the
same road In some cases, at the
present time, where there has been a
piece of road in the designated State
road, where it did not seem to the
town desirable to build, the authori-
ties have passed by that piece of road
and continued the construction farther
along upon the same road.
Nearly all of the legislators elect,
who have been heard to express them
selves upon the matter. are in favor
Of giving the State highway commits
sioner much mere power than he now
has. a system of patrols, to look af-
er the State road and see that minor
defects are at once repaired, which
would greatly reduce the maintenance
cost, has also been suggested. This
plan, it is understood, is favored by
Governor Plaisted and would have
been urged by him in his second in
iugural address, had he been re- elect

TOO MANY CHILDREN.
Die of Diphtheria, Says State Board of
Health Bulletin.

There are still too many children
dying of diphtheria," says the Bulle-
tin of the State Board of Health, is
sued, Saturday. Parents and ply
sicians, as well, should clearly keep in
mind that no child need die of diph-
iberia. provided antitoxin is given
early enough. Children die of diph-
liberia because parents persist in ne
glecting to call a physician promptly
when the children have sore threats
and because some physicians are slow
in administering antitoxin.
Non professional members of the
local boards of health should remem-
Der that when. in the laboratory, an
examination has been made to deter
mine whether a given case is diph-
iberia, and a negative report comes
back-a report that the infection OF
diphtheria has not been found--it does
not mean that the case is not diph-
iberia. 1t simply means that in the
one sample sent to the laboratory the
bacillus of diphtheria was not found
There are various reasons why ir
cases of diphtheria the bacillus may
not have been upon the swab sent L
the laboratory or may have persisted II
