KATIE MANTz FREE AGAIN.

Massillon, o., Nov. 1.-The release
from the State Insane Asylum here
of Katie Mantz has caused much COM
ment among those who remember the
sensational circumstances attending
the arrest and trial of the pretty 16.
year-old girl two years ago for the
alleged murder of her sister. The
girl was accused of having given pois-
oned coffee to her sister with fatal
results. The alleged motive of the
crime was the girls envy of the fine
clothes worn by her sister. Katie was
indicted for first degree murder. The
jury found her insane and she was
committed to the asylum. While she
was in Jail awaiting trial many stories
We're current concerning the fascina-
ton she is alleged to have exercised
over her keepers, and a public investi-
cation was ordered to inquire into the
unusual favors she was said to re-
ceive from the authorities having her
in charge. After spending less than
two years in the asylum the girl has
now been released on probation, and
IS said to be studying in hospital to
become a trained nurse.

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is To Keep 'ne
Bowels Gently Open with a
Mild Laxative-Tonic.

Healthy old age is so absolutely de'
pendent upon the condition OF tne
bowels that great care should be ken
to see that they act regularly The
fact is that as age advances the stom'
ach muscles become weak and mac
tive and the liver does not store up
the juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by plen-
ty of exercise, but this latter is irk'
some to most elderly people. one
thing is certain, that a state OF con
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health
The best plan is to take a mid Taxa
tive as often as is deemed necessary
But with equal certainty it is suggest
ed that cathartics, purgatives physics
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing, is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, which acts as nearly like nature
as is possible. In fact the tendency
of this remedy is to strengthen the
stomach and bowel muscles and so
train them to act naturally again,
when medicines of all kinds can us
lally de dispensed with. This is the
opinion of many people of different
