Old People Need
A Bowel Stlmulant
The Ideal One is a Mild Laxa-
tive-Tonic That Will Keep
the Bowels Gently Active.

Healthy old age is SO absolutely do
pendent upon the condition OF the bow
els 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 plen-
ty of exercise, but the latter is irk-
some to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that state Of consi-
patton should always be avoided, as it
is dangerous to life and health. The
best plan is to take mild laxative as
often as is deemed necessary. But
with equal certainty 1t Is suggested
that cathartics, purgatives, physics,
salts and pills be avoided, as they do
but temporary good and are SO harsh
as to be shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan and one that
thousands Of elderly people are fol
lowing, is to take gentle laxative
tonic like Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
which acts as nearly like nature 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. when medicines
of all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among them

MENTIONS
TWO REAL BOSSES
Calls Wilson and Roosevelt the Big.
gest Ones He Knows
About.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, F'ib. 9.-Assailing Presi-
dent Wilson and former President
Roosevelt, former United States Sen
ator Joseph Bailey of Texas delivered
a vitrolic attack here. Bsillay was
headldner at the banquet of the Mich
igan society of Chicago at the Black
stone hotel here. Bailey declared the
president is treating legislative
branches as subordinate rather than
coordinate functions Of. the govern
ment He said in pars:
THE bosses, the people of this
country have been fighting fer TWEEN,
ty years, are bad enough, God knows,
but they are angels of sweetness and
light compared with the emago'sue.,
If could cali names here without
violating the proprietiss would ven
ture to say that the two men most
conspicuous now in our politics, who
have denounced the bosses most I'm,
sparingly, have acted the boss to the
very limit. One OF them, at the haaa
of a party not in power. imposes his
will on his party associates with an
imperiousness that funds no parallel
in the history of our country and his,
bare word is received by his follow
ers as a command which it would be
/ treason to discbsy
In order that 4 may not be sus-
pected of political bias in this refer
ence | must have the candor to say
that the head OF the party to which /
belong is no less imperious in his
commands. He has not bsen content
to execute the duties of his high o.
fee without the benefit Of that com
mon counsel Of which he has spoken
so often, but he has forgotten our
theory OF a separation between the
great departments Of this government
and he controls the l,.oaise of rerr5re-
sentatives and the senate of the Unit
ed States today as if they were sutb-
ordinate branch of this government"
Bailey declared socialism to be an
aggravated form of monopoly but a
greater menace because while they

brings the quicker death and tile less
opportunity of escaping it, Bailey
said that the social Justice. foH
which eminent politicians now IN

Il am in favor of anything in the
garbage disposal line that will bring
about a clean town at am expense we
can Afford" said Mr.. Gray. However,
there are no other towns OF this size
that have Instructors, as far as ! am
able to learn, although many other
towns OF this size do have some
m sthod OF disposing OF their garbage.
The first cost of the plant woul
amount to about $4,000, while ii
would cost close to, $4,000 year to
maintain It. as / understand the prop
