Dread Of Disease.

1T is much worse" said an old Eng
Ish physician, TO have nothing the
matter and think that one has some
thing the matter, than to have some
thing really the natter
Just as the dread of dirt and the
dread of sharp instruments and of
heights, the dread of the darkness and
all the other breads produce serious
discomfort, so does this dread of dis
ease, and just as self-discipline and
control are required for them, so
still more are they required for this
condition. What these patients need
is the courage to De well, the conf
dence in a physician who knows
enough to be able to tell them that
they have nothing the matter and
then such occupation of mind with
many things that they have not time
to think of themselves.

Literary Condolences.

Have you ever noticed that when
you are puzzled by some unfamiliar
word or phrase that word or phrase
will crop up again in mysterious
fashion in some book or paper that
you take up shortly afterward. Most
of the people with whom have COM
pared notes on the subject have had
this experience repeatedly. In fact,
a busy newspaper man confided to me
that when arrested by any unusual
reference in his reading he does not
always seek immediate enlighten-
ment, but waits with a confidence that
is rarely disappointed, for the reap
pearance of the allusion elsewhere to
bring the needed illumination, and he
told me of some really remarkable CO
medicines in this respect.
One of the oldest examples of the
kind is narrated by Oliver Wendell
Holmes, who one evening was discuss
ing with some friends the subject of
murder mysteries He had a vague
recollection of hearing of strange
murder committed in England during
the last century, but could not veri-
fly the matter or supply any details.
On the following morning he received
a newspaper from friend in Eng
land who had marked for DR.. Holmes
attention a passage in the paper re-
counting the very tragedy for the par
ticulars of which he was in search.

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With q Mild
! Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be taken
TO see that they act regularly. The fact
Is that as age advances the stomach
muscles become weak and inactive
and the liver does not store up the
juices that are necessary to prompt
digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
sng easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
Srxsome to most elderly people. One
thing is certain. that a state OF con-
stipation should always be avoided as
it is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty 1t Is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives. physics,
salts and pills be avoided. as they do
but temporary good and are so harsh
as to be shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing. is to take gentle laxative-tonic
like DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
which acts as nearly like nature as is
possible. In fact, the tendency of this
remedy is to strengthen the stomach
and bowel muscles and so train them
Co act naturally again. when medicines
OF all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion of many

THE BITTERNESS HAS GONE

The imaginary line between the Re
publican and Progressive parties Is
existing in the minds OF fewer people
every day. One after another the big
leaders on both sides are recognizing
and acknowledging the TACT that they
have very few real grievances or diff
ferences. and that their paths OF future
political success are identical.
There are still few in every state
who insist upon rubbing old sores and
attempting TO widen the breach caused
by the last national campaign. but
they do not represent popular senti-
ment. Most OF them are men OF
small caliber. who apparently place
their fancied personal grievances
above the welfare OF their state and
nation.
II is pretty generally acknowledged
now that the main difference in the
disastrous campaign Of last fall vas
one OF leadership. Thousands OF peo-
pie believed honestly that Theodore
Roosevelt was cheated out OF the Re.
publican nomination. Other thou
sands regarded him as a dangerous
man to elect TO the presidency. Ger
tain Il Is that Roosevelt was very
popular. and this popularity helped 10
obscure the real issues In every
state there were thousands OF men
who would have supported Roosevelt

elected as Republican governors. so
there was not the slightest logical
excuse for the Democrats to claim the
position.
Furthermore. II was the Republi-
cans who first offered TO compromise
by voting for some acceptable Demo
crat. and the Democrats held up the
organization several days by refusing
TO accept this generous offer. In fact.
the Democrats stubbornly refused to
vote for any one OF their own number
except their caucus candidate until
forced to do so by statewide indIgna-
ton
or course neither side was abso-
lutely blameless. but the burden OF
blame for the long delay rests upon
the Democratic senators. and IL desir.
able local measures are cast aside
for want of time the people will know
exactly where to place the RESPONSE
bility.
