A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendsncy 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 physf
clans as well 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.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone trosbled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send trial bottle, free of charge,

THINK DIAMOND MERCHANT
IN LEAGUE WITH THIEVES

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Captain of
Detectives Halpin is convinced today
that the four men and four women
suspects are innocent of the murder
of j. P. Logue, the diamond mer-
chant found dead in his office here
last Friday, but he intends to hold
them in connection with various 9th
er robberies. The suspects are be-
lieved to have established alibis.
The people now believe that Ger
tie Frishbie, notorious Chicago
character, her former sweetheart,
Eddie Taft, an alleged safe-blower,
and two associates of Taft may have
murdered Logue A woman answer
ing the Frisbie woman's description,
called on the diamond merchant and
two of Taft's associates are known to
have visited Logue the day before
the murder.
The police now think Logue had
dealings with diamond thieves, and
that the gang decided to kill him.
