Oriental Images Are Popular With Capital Society

ID UDDHA, the placid apostle of alb
- negation, has been caught on the
high tide of faddism. His is a place
of honor among the expensive art OBJ
jects in Washington homes of wealth
and culture. About him hangs an aura
of orientalism, and he lends a decor
alive charm to many drawing rooms
and salons here. And so the great
teacher of India, who was later adopt
ed as deity in Japan. China, Ceylon
and Burma, and in whose worship
thousands of brown men and women
have bent the knee, Is in great de-
mand in the nations capital. In fact,
the fad for Buddhas here bids fair, to
become as extreme as any that has
ever gripped the lovers of the bizarre
and unusual in this city.
The fad for the collection of Budd-
has has taken such hold on Wash
ington society that some of the col
lectors are not combining themselves
to perfecting collections of Buddhas
alone. but are eager for anything
which savors of temple worship in the
orient Therefore. among the lares
and penates of exclusive households
are to be found some choice examples

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The Firsf Necessity Is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With q Mild
LQx0tive 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
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty of exercise, but this latter is
irksor1e 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.. Caldwell's 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

of the two windows and between the
busts of Garabaldi and Bee-Shee-Kee

ecuted it. 1t is unsigned. Far-reach-

1t is believed that 1t was chiseled in
New Orleans between the time of
