Well Known Fact That Elk
treme Heat Conduces to
Chronic Constipation

So many people are in the habit OF
eating cold food in hot weather that
constipation is very common during
summer. 1t is best to vary the food
and have some hot things, as, for exam
ple soups and hot fish and meats, ii
that is to be the diet. Iced water
should be drunk sparingly.
In spite of all care people Will be-
come constipated. and if you find your
self in that condition you can get i'm
mediate relief by the use of Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. There is no time
of the year when you should be more
careful of constipation than in the
summer, for many of the serious ILL
nesses as we'll as the fatalities result
from clogging up of the bowels You
also need general good health to with
stand the heat, and hence Syrup Pepsin
is best to take because it contains tonic
ingredients that help to build up the

GLIMPSE OF BARONET
ny JOHN AVA CARPENTER

London, June 24.-Perhaps the choicest
locked store of pleasant reading in mod
ern English literature can be found in
the plays of Sir James Matthew Barfrie,
baronet; yet therefore. that wayward
little scotchman has flatly refused to per-
nit any of his plays to be published in
book form, except through Charles Froh-
mans cooperation, and Frohman got it
into his head, after having spent many
thousands of dollars in lighting for the
copyright of 1.-THE Little Minister" that
any sort of publication of a Barrie play
In book form endangered the rights of
the said Barrie play in stage form. Mr..
Barrie, who is the most staunch and
loyal of friends, wasn't going to injure
the interests of his impresario and con-
seduently refused all sort of tempting of
fers to make books of his plays.
At last, however. Mr.. Bartlett comes
hard to write "Sir James''-has4 concluded
that the new American copyright law
fully protects his play even If he pub
fishes them in book form, and conse-
qucntly has signed contract with an
American publishing house last week to
permit of the publication of 'Rosalind'' in
book form and has agreed that il this
doesn't damage him, some of his other
plays may come out in the safe fashion.
But it is expressly stipulated that Rosa
lind may not be published until the play
has been performed in America, and ap-
parently that may not happen until
Maude Adams gets ready to play it some-
time next spring.
The new baronet secludes himself in a
flat underneath that occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph. Pennell and across the
street from Bernard Shaw's abode in
Adelphi terrace. 1t is over steamship
line office, and at the entrance on the
ground floor there is the usual tablet
of modern slabs indicating the names of
the tenants; but the slab for the third
floor is blank. If you go up in the ele-
vator and get off at the third floor you
are confronted by a blank door, with
no name on it, and behind it an equally
blank servant who looks surprised and
