MElLEN RESIGNS PRESIDENCY
HEAD OF NEW HAVEN RAILROAD
QUITS HIS POST,
Requests That Retirement Take Ef,

New York, July 19.-Charles S. Mel
len has rendered his resignation as
president Of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad company and
all its allied or subsidiary lines, in
GLIDING the various railways, trolley
lines and water lines which have be-
come part of the New Haven sys,

the pleasure" of the New Haven
board, but Gin no event later than
Oct. next" followed a long meet
ing of the directors, most of whom,
including William Rockefeller and J.
P. Morgan, were present.
The brief announcement of Mr.. Mel
lens proposed retirement, couched in
less than so words. was the only Of
fetal statement issued. None of the
directors would supplement it by so
much as a word, and Mr. Mellen stead
lastly denied himself to all inter
viewers.
It is understood that some Of the
more prominent members of the
board earnestly urged Mr. Mellen to
reconsider his action, but apparently
without avail.
In railroad and financial circles Mr..
Mellen's decision will excite no sur
prise. In fact, during the day in Wall
Street and elsewhere it was generally
understood that the day would mark
virtually the end of the Mellen admin.

Charles Sanger Mel]en, whose re-
cent management of the New Haven
road has given rise to considerable
criticism. became president of that
system in October of 1908, resigning
from the presidency of the Northern
Pacific railway at the request of the
late j. P. Morgan, who regarded MIR.
Mellen as the man best fitted to re-
organize the more or less chaotic
transportation lines of the New Eng
land states.
The steady decline of New Haven
rhares in the local and Boston stock
markets has been a matter Of com,

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity is to
Keep the Bowels Gently

Laxative Tonic

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition Of the
bowels that great care should be taken
10 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
IL 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 q shock TO a delicate system
A much better plan. and one that
thousands of elderly people are follow
ing, is to take a gentle Iaxative-tonic
like Dr. CaldwelI'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
