The Perfect laxative
 For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than youth Tn more serene and quieter life. But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from in- activity. Chief of these are a chronic, persistent constipation.
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symptoms headaches and general lassitude Ere quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much mental trouble ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as well as men, Is a mild laxative tonic, one that is griping.

has been under the heel of the hungrf-
est gang of looters that ever seized
possession of a New Jersey city. The
Bumsted gang in Jersey CITY, that
could not be reached by anything short
of a constitutional amendment, was not
so merciless or SO greedy. Keuhnle
had not long been mixing drinks at
the seniors bar before he branched out
into politics with a we'll defined notion
of the things he could do when he got
into it. Atlantic City was young then,
and small, and it's seizure was a COM
paratively easy task. The barkeeper
made himself an influence with her
officialism and he soon had things all
his own way.

He established a brewery and made
the barmen of the city patronize it He
opened bank; and it was the favorire

with a contractor whose bid was a
factor, If not winner, in every award.
And just then man named Cherry
dropped in the town from some
where with a paving proposition that
led to partnership that covered most
of the boasted 5000 miles of highway
in the city with bftulithic. There was
no department of municipal activity in
which he did not participate.

Cherry till lately it was learned
that he came from the West, where he
had been an editor, 10 do some of the
financing in the Parker campaign for
the Presidency; and then he fell on
Atlantic City with his bitulithic scheme.
He made money enough to retire from
business-just about the time Keuhnle
was convicted of participation in his
operations. He is in Egypt now, where

Twenty-Five states have at various times actually adopted statewide pro- hibition. Ofthese Maine, Kansas and North Dakota are the only states retaining prohibition, which have had statewide law for 20 years and over.
 The five other states having pro- hibition, namely, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Ten nessee have had it only in the last few years and it has proven a failure in each state.
 The r other states named all re- turned to license or local option after trying prohibition for periods varying from few months to 50 years.
 The Internal Revenue reports show an aggregate of l2,S7l persons in the eight prohibition states pay ing the Government special liquor tax in 1911.

ATTEMPT TO MARRY HER
The attempt of a mother to
force her daughter to marry a
rich mans son ended in the arrest
of the mother and the rich mans
son today.
The mother is Mrs. Theresa
Canty, sol West >Thirty-eighth
street; the rich mans son is
Lawrence Rhode, All 18th street;
the girl is Marie CAVITY, who has
a mind of her own.
Lawrence CAVITY is the son of
August L. Rhode, a well-to-do
carpenter contractor, who owns
an automobile and has allowed
his son to become spoiled.
Lawrence first met Marie three
years ago. She was only IS years
old then. But this did not feaze
Lawrence. He decided he was go
ing TO marry ner.
There was nothing much wrong
with this. Marie is a pretty and
a winsome girl, and anyone might
come to the same decision as
Lawrence.
Marie, however, did not decide
that Lawrence was the man for
her. When he persisted in his at
tentions, she told him just what
she thought of him, very loud and
clear.
Mrs. CAVITY had watched with
approval the attentions Of young
Lawrence to her daughter. Did
he not drive up every night in an
automobile to take Marie driving,

himself all the time, was tickled
