Old People Need
A Bowel Sti1nuldnt
The Ideal One is a Mild Ldad-
tiUe-Tonic that Will Keep
the Bowels Gently ActiOe

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 1t is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan Is to take a mild laxa-
tive as often as Is deemed necessary.
But with equal certainty it Is sug-
gested that cathartics. purgatiyes.
physics, salts, and pills be avoided, as
they do but temporary good and are
so harsh as to be a shock to a deli
cate system.
A much better rlan and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol-
lowing. Is to take a gentle laxative
tonic like Or. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep

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.

BARBED WIRE FACTORIES RUNNING TO
CAPACITY TO SUPPLY WAR DEMAND
Shipments Are Made Through Canada and Direct to
France Germany Orders Automobile Trucks
and Canada Motorcycles.
From The New York Press

Every available ton of barbed wire in
this country has been purchased by
agents of foreign Governments for ship
ment to Europe for use by the armies in
making field defenses. There is no un-
usual demand for plain wire, but the
barbed wire plants are being run to ca
pacity. a representative of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company at Pitts
burgh says that most of the barbed wire
is being shipped through Canada, but
large shipments evidently have been
made direct to France. There is SO little
home demand for barbed wire that prices
have not been advanced in domestic quo
tations.
Exports from New York last week
amounted to S2I,4Io, $40. This was an
increase of $3,655,3a2 over the values of
exports for the week preceding. The
average daily export for six days last
week was s., 56S,424.

business, we have concluded to do so
and take this opportunity to announce
to the public that hereafter we will, in
connection with our Life Insurance,
conduct a Real Estate Agency.
In undertaking to see the lands of

class clientele this advertising will have
to be placed in high class publication
which will necessarily bring on a heavy
expense.
We trust that the public will under

to build up a successful agency and
will not expect an immediate sale of
every piece of property placed in our
hands We promise however to rem

a tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make tree.
