The Smallest Republic

from the Chicago Tribune.
The smallest republic is not San Ma
rino, as usually supposed, but the di-
minutive Island Tavolara. about seven
and one half miles off the coast of Sar-
dina. This island is only one and one
fifth miles wide, and its whole population
numbers but 55. In 1886 TavolaTa was
granted Independence by Carl Albert, and
a certain Barteleoni assumed the title or
King under the name OF Paul l. He died
i'll May, 1852. In 1856 the Tavalorians pro-
claimed the republic, and, according to
their constitution. q president ID elected
every 10 years.

the traits most conspicuous.

Bowels Get Weak
AS Age Advances
The Ffrst 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
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 a mild laxative
as often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty it 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 q delicate system.
much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a 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

Some time last summer was taken
with eczema. 1t began in my hair
first with red blotcheg, then scaly,

were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full Of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch
under the skin Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms Of my feet and the calves Of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had
anything like it and hope I never will
again. The itching was terrible. My
hands got so l could scarcely work.
II tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for 1t but it did no good. I saw
the advertisement for sample of

Solvent.

A certain man found himself in the
possession Of S11,000,0O0. But he did
not lose his head. On the contrary.
Il will pay only so much for a car,
he firmly declared, las will leave of
the s11 100000 a sum sufficient, if
prudently invested in the funds, to de-
fray the cost of having the thing

And though in that resolution he
paid so little for a car that his wife
would scarcely speak to him, his
sense of financial solvency was his
ample reward.-Puck.
