Elder Walter A. Shepard and Sister

Elder Walter A. Shepard and Sister Catherine Kate, trustees of the Shaker settlement in Enfield, announce that the North family of Shakers, under the supervision of Sister Miriam Offord, will close it's buildings in a few days and remove to Lebanon, N. Y. The family consists of ninc mem- bers. The North family owns over 500 acres of good farming land, but of late has been unable to work the land proftably. The settlement originally consisted of three divisions, known as the North, Church and South families, and at one time it had a large population. The South family disappeared some time ago, and with the going of the North family there will be only the Church family left in Enfield, consisting of twelve members. The Shakers to- day have in their possession hundreds of acres of valuable land and are assessed for $1OO, 900 on the Enfield town books. It is thought now that the Church family will also abandon the settlement soon and go to Lebanon to join the North family, or to Penn sylvania, disposing of their large holdings in Enfield. Two years ago the general assembly appointed com- mittee to look into the matter of buy ing the land owned by the settlement and convert it into state farm for inebriates. At that time the North family offered to sell it's land for $15O, 1000. It is generally expected that with the removal of the North family now, the state will be able to get the farm at a lower figure and utilize it as has been proposed.

Heat q Menace to
Lives OF Old Folks
Sickness and Misery Result
From Clogged Bowels in
Hot Weather.

People advancing in years should be
very careful Of their health during the
hot months, as heat has a very ener-
vating and weakening effect on them.
One mas only to look at the daily list
of fatalities to elderly people reported
by the papers TO realize that these are
the hardest months for them 20 over
come.
The easily digested foods should be
eaten, and then only sparingly, and
alcoholic beverages and iced things
should be avoided as much as possible.
Exercise should be taken daily in the
shade. Most important of all in the
maintenance Of health and vigor at
this time is to avoid constipation, with
its accompanying headaches and mus
cular and blood congestion. This is
accomplished by the timely use Of a
gentle laxative like Dr.. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin 1t is the ideal laxative
for elderly people, as it is mild. tastes
pleasant and does not gripe. Best Of
all, it contains valuable tonic proper
ties that build up and strengthen the
system.
Elderly people should avoid strong
physics, cathartics, purgatives, salts
and pills, as they are shock TO the
system. In the opinion Of reliable peo-
pie like Mrs. G. J. Nicholas, POLO En-

SUCCDR EXTENDED
TO EV|CTED FAMILY
Mother, Children and Grand.
mother Turned Out for
Nonpayment of Rent.

A case Of suffering and destitution
was called TO the attention OF the Com
mercial club yesterday. 1t was q mother
and grandmother and six children turned
from a miserable room in the rear OF 176
West Third South street, without the
privilege of returning for something for
the smallest. a boy of about 3 years, TO
eat. The child was hungry and made
his wants known TO such an extent that
man passing the place inquired about
the trouble.
An investigation Of the case showed
that the family was in want and would
DC without place to sleep that night.
VIII 6. Farrell, secretary Of the Com
mercial club, was notified, and through
his efforts the trouble was righted for
last night and a more thorough inves-
tigation will be made today
Joseph II. Wilson, a laborer, whose
family was turned out, is in the county
hospital where be has been suffering
with valvular heart trouble for the last
four weeks, During that time the rent.
amounting to s. month was not paid
and the family apparently was IN a des-
titute condition. Mrs. Wilson when seen
yesterday, said:
A man came to me today and said
that ! would have to pay mp or
move out right away and told him
that / would try to get the money
I started out a little later to
see If 1 couldn't get the money,
and when | returned found mother
and the children on the porch and
the little one crying for something
TO eat. Ny mother told me that the
man came back soon after I left
and made them all leave the house
and then nailed up the door and
windows.
This evening. after a man passing
had said that he would tell at the
Commercial club about our trouble,
County Commissioner 0. W. Carlson
and somebody else came down and
arranged some way so that we could
get back in for tonight. One of the
captains Of the Volunteers of Amer
lea and the bishop of this ward
helped US 20 get some provisions and
I was told that Carl Poulton. the
charity clerk, would investigate the
case tomorrow.
