|. CONSTIPATION is A s. 9sH. s..
. MENACE IN SUMMER.
Regularity OF Bowels Very I'm.
j. pOrtant to Health at This
. Time.

At no time should people more
closely watch the condition Of their
bowels than during hot weather
Summer conditions contribute in va
rious ways to cause constipation, but
whatever the cause the trouble should
be quickly corrected; constipation,
II neglected, leads directly to serious
and often fatal diseases.
Some people find that certain
fruits have laxative effect, but this
canpot be depended upon; a mild
laxative tonic that will act gently and
positively, without gripping or shock
to the system, Is far preferable. The
compound of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwells S
Syrup Pepsin, is highly recommended
as being easy and natural In action,
pleasant to the taste, and certain in
Its effect. A dose of Syrup Pcpsip at
night will restore normal action in
the morning, carrying off the heavi-
ness and bloat. Salts, purgative wa
ters and cathartics should be avoid
ed, as they upset the enti system
and afford at best but temporary re-
lief. BY cleansing the bowels and
removing the foreign matter that ir-
ritates and inflames the tissues, a
spoonful of Syrup Pepsin will quickly
check the summer diarrhoea that is
so weakening. DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin is sold by druggists for fifty
cents bottle, the larger. family size,
costing one dollar. A free trial bot
tie can be obtained, postpaid, by
writing to Dr.. w. B. Caldwell, 4O6

ANTHER "BILTNIORE" HOTEL.
Owner of Ashcville Estate to Go Into

(Boston Transcript.) J

Biltmore, the name of the North

Commodore Vanderbilt, is to be the
name also Of the S5.500,0O0 hotel,
with thousand rooms, which IS to
be part Of the new Grand Central
station in New York. Thus another
of the great families of Manhattan
goes into the hotel business, along
with the Astors and the Belmonts.
Biltmore, near Asheville, Is set down

country estate lii the United States
indeed, its one hundred thousand
acres of scientifically cultivated for

GRAFTON Of Vanderbilts Is thus doing
something to vindicate certain
reputation for public spirit won for
the tough, misunderstanding found
der of the family by his gift of an
$SO0.000 steamboat to the govern
ment in the Civil War and a million
to found Vanderbilt University in
Tennessee. But Of the hundred bill
lions he bequeathed to his son, Will
liam Fl. Vanderbilt. only 100000
went to Vanderbilt University, and a
couple Of millions would probably
more than cover all public bequests
made by the father OF the master OF
BiltmoIe, George Washington Van
derbilt, born fifty years ago 1t
seems very natural for q family
which amassed it's wealth in trans
portation to find glory, and inciden-
tai dividends, in $500. 900 monu-
mental house Of entertainment for
travellers. Manhattan Is the city of
monuments OF such wealth as the
Vanderbilts, and it is this which
makes il the wonder, If not the ad
miration OF the modern world. But
monuments are memorials OF things
OF the past, and eminently things Of
the past are the powers and privi-
leges for taking toll of the public in
the spirit Of William II. Vanderbilt's
motto: "The public be damned"
