A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency Of advancing years TO
restrict activity and exercise is re-
sponsible 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 DR..

RASH SPREAD TO ARMS

"At first I noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as a rash.
It looked like red pimples. In few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned so badly that
scratched them and Of course the re-
suit was blood and matter The erup-
tions festered, broke, opened and dried
up leaving the skin dry and scaly. l
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out of
the question The trouble also caused
disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
"By this time I had used several
well-known remedies without success.
The trouble continued. Then / began
to use the sample of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Within seven or eight
days 1 noticed gratifying results. l
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint-

ROYALTY WELCOMES The
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL HIeHNEss, THE DUKE
OF CONNAUGHT, WELCOMES
h 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 am opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience, COM
prised 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 setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and In
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His 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:
"I am we'll aware that among those
whom l am now addressing, there are
a 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 wei
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
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers of our neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos
pitalities.
"One of the chief dispensers of such
hospitality in proportion to its popu-
lation has, as we have said, changed
it's character from an important cat
tie town to thriving wheat producing
area.
what it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, it has gained in
the material side, and I wish, in con-
clusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con-
tinue unabated in the future"
There is no reason why at a hun
dred places on this educative, instruct
i've and interesting trip Of His Royal
Highness he might not have express
ed himself in the same terms, and on
each occasion, addressed large gather
ings of Americans who are now set
tied on the prairies of Western Cana

Her Name Was Not Polly Ticks.

During the late campaign an Illinois
candidate for the legislature was driv-
ing through the country, seeking votes
among the farmers, when he met a
young man in farmers garb, walking
by the roadside.
Having in mind prospective vote
he stopped his horse, and saluting him
in familiar manner, inquired:
Are you paying any attention to
politics nowadays?"
The young man stopped, looked at
his suspiciously, and drawled out:

This ended the interview as well as

Lots of Money Well Spent.

Arthur Blanchard, who spent much
of his time travelling over the coun-

behind bride and groom in a Pull

went through long tunnel. AS is

bride wac grabbing desperately at her
hat and fighting three fast rounds
with one or two hatpins which had

In order to relieve the situation and
