THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
Less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain N effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands Of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried IL
send your name and address to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St., Mon
ticello, Ill.,, and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial.

A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPPED.

How many people who read this article,
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity. of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can easily be
stopped If the housewife will only pay q
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures In the baking, and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder in the whole year. The cheap
big Cam Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
feel that baking powder is of nc. value
unless they pay 80 cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust" brands. This is mistake, as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for Csc. per pound If the man
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physicians and chem
lists; used in millions Of homes: and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS?

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
Eey trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back. recurring head
aches, or fretfnl, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some Kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profuse. or much
reduced, or scaldinR and painful.
Sandy, gritty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-lookins layer which gathers
on the surface when allowed to stand.
or jelly-like thickenine.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for a time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away
