Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. 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 bowels are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
SO all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh ply
sizes. 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 natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets, and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while
you sleep.

COTTON SPINNING is ONLY
BRITISH INDUSTRY SUFFERING

London. Oct. 31-Only in cotton
spinning is British industry suffer-
ing. In addition to supplying the eX-
peditionary force and the new army
with clothing and equipment, Rus
sia has placed orders for a million
pairs of boots and the British wool
en- mills and shoe factories have
other contracts they are as yet un-
able to place. which could be cas-
lily taken by American manufacturing
agents, We're they in the field.
The greatest waste in the war
has been in the motor vehicle line.
Not only are the cars racked to
pieces by hard service, but large
numbers are destroyed by shell. Brit
ish manufacturers have not the
equipment to supply this wastage.
Russia is not a manufacturing
country, and the factories OF France
have been largely destroyed in the
north and in other parts are closed
down because OF the lack OF hands.

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood,-that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
paie,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; IN
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism; and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause Of disease.
Hood IS Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher Of the blood the
world has ever known. 1T has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.
