Most old people must give to the bow.
els some regular help, else they suffer
from constipation. The condition is per-
fectly natural. 1t is just as natural

For age is never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic. And the
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse TO aid weak eyes

aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow

THREE KILLED AT TORONTO.
Walls of Five Story Building Suddenly
Collapsed.

Toronto, May 6.-Three persons were
killed, one is missing and more than
dozen were seriously injured when
the walls of the William Nelson com
panys five story building collapsed Sat
urday, precipitating large number of
the workers to the basement and bury
ing them in tangled mass of debris
and machinery. Nearly all of those hurt
were women.

We're working on the top floor. The first
inkling of the trouble came when the
girls on the third floor heard tumbling
sound, and it was seen that the south
wall was eaving in. Immediately mad
stampede began for the doors. Many of
the women tainted in the rush, but those
who won their way free succeeded in
reaching the elevators and got safely
to the ground. Then, in the space Of
a few moments while many on the top
floor were still struggling to push their
way through the doors, the wall top
Piled over, the floor gave way and the
women and heavy machines which were
grouped on this floor crashed down
through each succeeding floor to the base
ment.
At least two of the victims were
pinned underneath massive machines for
the manufacture Of chocolate, the firms

went to the rescue of number of girls
and one man who was pinned under
the wreckage. The rescue party could
plainly hear the means of those beneath
and every effort was made to reach the
imprisoned ones, but not all were extri-
,ated.

Regular Annual Rejection of Plan to

Boston. May 6.-The proposition to

War Begun by Methodists to
Secure Legislation
MILL CUSTOMS DENOUNCED
Resolution Says That One Hundred Baby
Hands Are Lost Yearly in the
Textile Industry-An Age
Limit for Bishops.

Minneapolis, May Employment Of
children under 10 years old in the fac
tories and textile mills of the United
States were denounced at the general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
To investigate charges that in tex
tile mills alone 100 baby hands are year
ly lost as sacrifice to the greed for
wealth" and to formulate an appeal to
all churches to fight for national leg
islation against child labor, commission
of Is ministers was ordered appointed,
whose duty it will be to go thoroughly
into the subject.
Bringing the matter before the con-
ference, Henry j. Coker of Denver asked
for adoption of resolutions eondemning
"this shameful CUSTOM" and urging
churches and officials in state and ma
ton to do their utmost ito abolish this
great evil
Edgar G. Richardson of Bristol, Conn,
thought the mere adopting of resolutions
was not sufficient His call for the APP
pointment of a commission to suggest
that all ministers in the church pledge
themselves to fight child labor was
passed amid applause.
Henry Wade Rogers of New Haven
had referred resolution which pro-
yides an age limit for bishops and for
their retirement from active service
when they have reached the age Of rs.
The resolution also provides that the
bishops may be relieved from travel"
when they reach the age of 10.
Interest among the delegates Satur-
day was still centred upon the coming
election of new bishops. The episcopal
committee will be compelled to decide
how many men will be elected to the
highest Office OF the church. because the
bishops made no recommendation as to
the number that would be required to
carry on the work of Methodism dur
ing the next four years.
1t is considered likely that the COM
mittee will retire three of the present
bishops on account of age. This, it is
will necessitate the election OF
10 new bishops. 1t has been pointed
out to the committee that Bishop w.
H. Warren, though hale and strong and
still able to do great amount of work,
is 81 years old. Some delegates think
it would be a risk to continue him in
office for another four years. Bishop
Moore is 10 years old and Bishop Smith
is IS.

cial crop, including linters by Alexander
