PAST FIFTY? YOU
need "CASCARETS''
WHAT CLASSES ARE TO WEAK
EYES-cASCARET ARE TO
WEAK BOWELS.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipa ton. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as 10 neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bowels
must be KEEP. active. This is important
at all ages, but never so much as at So
Age is not a time FOR marsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. what the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without narn1. The only
such tonic is Cascarers and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

MASQUERADER STIRS

CHICAGO, April 19.-Harry Acker-
burg, Northwestern university student
and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity, is 'in right" with the So
rority queens again. The danger Of
his expulsion from the fraternity
chapter is past, but there are deep
chunks of gloom all over the campus.
Ackerburg's appearance at the jun
ior play, with a chorus girl, introduced
as Evelyn" done up in the latest

and delighted male students who were
called to the first box front for an
introduction to the beautiful Eve
lyn.'

COSTLY SCHOOLS.

For the past biennial period the
State School of Mines spent $685.
352. On an average the attendance is
297. The cost per student for the two
years was $3.50, or $430 per year.
The agricultural college had about
400 students for that period and the
cost of upkeep was $4s9,s23. This
was at the rate Of 81, 1,150 per student,
or $612 per annum.
At thesState Normal sshool tl,sre
are about 45O students Ind 9Kg
per student per year was s276.
The state university disbursed for
the two-year period $5Os,4s1. There
are in the neighborhood of 1900 stu
dents at the university and the cost
per annum per student was 1912.
Regarding the School Of Mines, the
number of students last year aver
aged but 225, compared to $40 for the
year previous, so an average was ta-
ken. And in this connection II might
be well for the state executive, when

BRYAN ON THE NEW
CHINESE REPUBLIC

LINCOLN, Neb., April l9.-"Wel-
come, China, to the sisterhood of re
publics, is the substance of William
j. Bryan's leading editorial in this
weeks issue of the Commoner.
The secretary of state declares that
the people of the United States, will
without exception, rejoice at China's
entrance upon her new career" and
that Sin no other nation will China
find larger or more sincere SYM
pathy with her hopes and aspirations" !"
The editorial reads in part:
"The people of the United States,
will, without exception, rejoice at Chi
mas entrance upon her new career.
1t is a momentous hour when the citi-
zens of great nation, becoming con-
scious of both their rights and their
capacities, secure their participation
in the government under which they
live. China, whose people, through
so many centuries have endured the
restraints and constrains of monarch
ial government, has thrown off the
yoke of an emperor and established a
republic. The methods employed were
almost as unusual as the event was
unexpected. Peculiar in many ways
they were never more peculiar thar
when, almost without bloodshed, they
overthrow a dynasty and inauguratet
a government popular In character
1t was an epoch making act and tht
world has hardly yet recovered from
its surprise.
Welcome China, to the sisterhoot
of republics! The government Of th'
United States was the first nation Il
intimate its desire TO extend recog
milton, and in no other nation vii
China find a larger or more SINGER,
sympathy with her hopes and aspira

CRIME IN AMERICA AND RUSSIA.

Russia generally is regarded as one
of the most lawless nations, but when
it comes to actual murder the un-
civilized millions who inhabit that
country are not to be compared with
the United States. Despite the fact
that they are oppressed by tyrannical
rule and always under the suspicion of
the police, the average Russian is
more law-abiding than the average
American. At least that is what sta
tistics show.
1t is always "open season" for un-
popular Russian officials. The coun-
try is infested with bands of anarch-
lists whose only aim in life is to mur-
der their oppressors. Yet for real
deviltry, for nicely manicured and pol
ished crime, the American has the
Russian bomb wielder outclassed
Statistics show that for the five
years from 1907 to 1912, there were
7,716 killings in Russia, an average
OF l.O4o Il year. III lie ieHiobiatiofi
area of the United States, which in
cludes only about SO per cent Of the
total population, there are 2,439 mur.
ders year. 1t is estimated that
there are fully three times as many
killings in this country as in Russia
This condition is attributed prin.
cipally to the well-known laxness ir
the enforcement of the laws Of the
United States. On account Of The
alliances existing in many Of the
larger cities between the underworld
and the police many criminals are
never brought to trial.
The maze Of technicalities through
which states attorneys must MAKE
their way to secure the conviction o.
offenders is so intricate that biz
percentage of the guilty escape pun
ishment. Instead Of making 1t a
difficult as possible for law break
er to escape, we have made it easy
It Is condition which demands speed.

25.OOO, 900 ARE DOOMED
TO DEATH BY CANCER

LONDON, April 19.-"The calcu.
lation is made that at the present time
25,000,000 of the worlds population
are destined to die of cancer" is DR..
Robert Bells summing up of an arti-
Gle on "The Therapeutics of Cancer"
in the Medical Times. He has no spe-
cific cure to offer, though he believes
that flesh eating is the, chief cause
of the trouble. Prevention is better
than cure, so he desires a campaign
of preventive work, but in the case of
the 25,000,000 of whom he speaks it
Is too late for mere prevention. They
have the disease, so he asks for other
measures.
The use of the knife he considers to
have failed, though he still believes
there are cases where operation is
necessary. He quotes Sir Benjamin
Brodie, Professor McFarlane, Profess
sor Walsh, DR.. Weldon Cooke, Profess
sor Syme and Sir James Paget as sup
porting his belief that operation is
seldom necessary. A clean lower bow
ell, in his idea, is the one desirable
thing, and in his attempt to get this
and thus to cure even late cases of
cancer he believes in the use of atoxyl.
He concludes his paper by saying:
"There is no doubt, I think, that of
all the remedies that have been en-
ployed by the hypodermic method
atoxyl is to be preferred before any
other, and / have had ample expert
ence of the most of them, for / have
act hesitated to give a fair and honest
trial to any agent which has been said
to have proved useful in other hands.
Among these may mention DR.. A.
Schmidts anti-merestem cuprase and
cuprion, which are both colloids of
copper and were largely extolled by
certain French surgeons; also seleniol,
which is solloid of selenium, every
ore of which have proved absolutely
useless in my hands as remedial
agents in cancer, and have employed
them in all forms of the disease.
"From an extensive experience
have been forced to the conclusion that
the only successful method Of treat
ing cancer consists Of reformed diet
unremitting attention to the sanitary
cordition of the colon and the strict
observance Of hygienic law, together
with the various local measures have
enumerated"
