What glasses are to weak eyes, Gas carets are to weak boweIs--a fo-

Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- tion is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old people 70 walk slowly. 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 aii weak eyes with glasses as to neglect this gentle 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 time for harsh physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bowels into activity. But lash can't be used every day. What the bowels of the old need is gentle and nat ural tonic. One that can. be con stantly used without harm The only sucb tonic is Cascarets and they cost only 10 cents per box at any drus store. They work while you sleep.

BRITAIN'S BIG NAVY
 CAUSES MUCH ALARM
GERMANS LOOK ASkANCE AT lN- CREASE IN SEA FIGHTING
 FORGE OF ENGLAND.

Berlin, Sept 2S.--Thoughtful Ger. mans look upon the present situation in Great Britain with unconcealed anx- iety, not on account of the growth of British navy or the hostility and sus- picion display so widely in England, but on account of the possibility of the fall of the present ministry and the installation of a conservative gov ernment. Since the last bye-elections with their steady Conservative gains number of prominent publicists are pointing out that change of govern ment will probably bring in its train in Great Britain tariff reform--a meas ure which will hit German industry far harder than the English patent legislation which forced so many Ger man factories to establish branch es
 tablishments in England. That the fall of the Liberal government is i'm
 minent is prophesied as a certainty.
 Herman von Rath, prominent member of the Prussian Diet. points out in an article in the Tag" that for this menace the Germons and their navy development are in part to blame since one of the factors behind the movement to abandon free trade is the need for more revenue to bear the cost of England's big naval program which has been imposed upon the al ready enormous burdens for old age pensions, natioal insurance and other social Legislation If England adopts a customs tariff. Germany. which has with Great Britain the largest trade relations, will find herself paying not only for her own big navy but for the British as we'll
