BOY PAID FOR HIS WHISTLE
Obeyed Fathers instructions All
Right, but Made No Sort of a
Hit With the Teacher.

1t all happened in a wayside village.
She was the village schoolmistress,
prim and proper, but bad hand at
settling accounts with the local trades
men; he was ten years of age, one of
her pupils, and son and heir of the
village grocer.
Tommy she yelled in class one
morning. don't you know it's rude to
whistle in the presence of a lady?"
Tommy was not abashed nor chas-
tened.
But dad told me to whistle he re-

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
ODen With q Mild
Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
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
ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksome 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 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 a shock to a delicate system.
a much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing. is to take a gentle 1axative-tonic
like DIR. CaldwelTs 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
to act naturally again, when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with This is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them

CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee did for him. (Tea is just as
injurious because it contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
MY wife and 1 drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach MY
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but I became convinced, after
a time. that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. I happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that I give Postum a
trial
Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like 1t so much that we

fine of s25 imposed on anyone who
killed one of the pheasants, and so
far as can be learned none was ever
killed, but for the last three years
the birds have been decreasing. The
severe winter last year further de-

other counties indicate that the birds
have disappeared there as well as in
