Constipation and
 Heat Often Fatal
Regularity of Bowels Very lm- portant to Health at This
 Time.

At no time of the year should peo- ple be more careful of the condition of their bowels than in hot weather. Many things may cause consupation in summer, but whatever 1t may be the trouble should be promptly remedieo. A constipated person lays hlmseI or herself open to serious and often latal diseases. That feeling of congestion. lassitude or dull headache Is the nrst warning of trouble
 Don't try to remedy it by the ex- cessive eating of fruit, which usually has a laxative effect but lacks action in extreme cases. What is needed IS a reliable but mild laxative-tonic like Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. Take a dose of 1t at night before retir1ng-it is pleasant tasting and free from gnp. ing-and by morning your bowels VIII be emptied and your head clear. 1ou will feel energetic again
 You cannot obtain such results with cathartics, purgatives, salts or pils' as, unlike Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin' they are without tonic value and en- tirely too harsh. Among the thou sands of dependable converts to Syrup Pepsin are the families of MT F. C- Harris, Live Oak, Fla, who now nnds his stomach better than it has been in ten years: and AlzA q D. -Rsems<,

MILK SHIPMENTS FALLING OFF
So Says Secretary of State Board of AsrieuIture-Starvat Prices Of- fered to Blame. :.

Leonard H. HeaIey of North Wood stock, secretary of the state board of agriculture, says that shipments from towns in this section of Windham shown a big falling off within the past few weeks and he quotes a man in close touch with shipments as saying that the number of jugs of milk now going into Boston each morning is far below the normal for years The starvation prices offered by the Boston buyers for good Connecticut milk has caused some shippers to quit in dis gust and Secretary Healey says that some of the farmers are drying off their cows. MT. Healey is very anx- ious to have large attendance at the conference of milk producers schedul- ed to be held in Putnam within a few days, for he is firmly convinced that means and measures may be adopted that will allow the farmer to get at least a reasonable price for milk MT. Healey, who has been A shipper from the Quinebaug station to the Boston market, is one of those who has stopped sending milk and he says that this practice has become so gem eral that the Boston supply has been curtailed to an extent that forces the producers to go far into northern New England for sufficient milk to supply the city trade.

 Interesting Figures from Old Diary. Apropos of the manner in which prices for foodstuffs have gone sky rocketing within the past 10 days some figures from an old diary found In the selectmen's offics are interest ing at this time, both from the stand point of high and low price. The little book shows that in 1915 sugar was selling at ' pounds for a dollar. This announcement is not taken as an excuse for beating that record at this time however. In 1928 potatoes were selling for 27 cents a bushel, oats for 30 cents bushel. The man that wrote the diary set down that it cost him IT cents to have a pair of shoes tapped in 1923; that he paid 20 cents day for board and received s1 for the same period for his labor. An in- teresting quotation for beef and mutt ton, in 1915. is cents a pound. Another curiosity dug up by Borough Clerk Wilson Thursday was a receipt for barrel of four, which he bought just after the close of the Civil War. The man that signed the receipt took $17.50 of MT. Wilson's money, so the flour men still have some records to shoot at, and they will probably shoot. Army Worms Have Disappeared. As suddenly as they came, the army worms have disappeared from towns in this section of the county, so far as can be learned. and no man knows nor cares-whither they have gone. Protective measures taken against the pest were very effective in this sec tion and the losses from the visitation are not as heavy as it was anticipated would be the case.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Another step toward giving the Philippines inde- pendence was taken in Congress today when the house committee on fnsular affairs favorably reported the Jones bill. which would declare definitely for the first time the purpose of the Amer ican people as to the future political status of the islands.
 Representative Jones of Virginia. chairman of the committed, announced his purpose to press the measure for consideration at this session
 A new feature of the bill Is de- signed to meet the commercial paraly- sis of the archipelago resulting from the European war; situation. At pres ent all tariff and internal revenue tax laws for the Philippines are en- actedly by congress. The proposed law would expressly confer on the Philippine legislature the right to en- act all tariff laws, except those which affect the trade relations between the United States and the Philippines
 The Philippine people. representa- tive Jones said today, must have means of supplementing their revenue just as we have in this country. At present their hands are tied and they can only look to the United States"
