What Is WOnlQn'S
Beauty But Health
And the Basis of Her Health and
Vigor Lies in the Careful Reg
ulation of the Bowels

IF woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be q
picture of loveliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
| the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude. the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestihle foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
| 1t is important that the condition
should be corrected.
| An ideal remedy for women, and
one especially suited to their delicate
requirements, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
| Pepsin, which thousands of women
endorse highly, among them Mrs. C. S.
| Vance. of 511 S. Ray ST., New Castle,
| Pa. At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels and she attri-
butes her excellent health to-day to
this remedy
| All the family can use DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of
mothers give it to babies and children.
1t is also admirably suited to the re-
quirements of elderly people. in fact to
all who by reason of age or intirmity
cannot stand harsh salts. cathartics.

ways be avoided, for at best their eff

STREET REPAIR JOB
TO BEGIN TOMORROW
Paving Company Busy on Mul.
berry St. Bridge; Other
Improvement Work

All the outdoor undertakings of the
city, including reconstruction of
bridges, the building of new sewers
and street repairing, in addition to the
big projects along Paxton creek and
the River Front are now under way.
Tomorrow the Central Construction
and Supply Company will begin the
resurfacing and repairing of depres-
sions on the Mulberry street bridge,
which has required attention for some
time. Automobile owners have espec-
tally noticed the dips here and there,
especially at both ends of the bridge,
and the resurfacing is intended to
overcome these conditions.
The Harrisburg Railways Company
has already relaid its tracks in Derry
street between Thirteenth and the city
line near Ninteenth, and will imme-
diately begin construction of the sec
ond track, so that this work can be
completed with as little delay as pos
sible. On these lines wood blocks are
being used along both sides of the rail
and 1t is thought these blocks will be
more satisfactory than the bricks that
have been used in other parts of the
city.
Alderman Charles p. Walter, the
street repairing contractor. has begun
operations and will be busy through
out the summer, inasmuch as there is
much repairing to do, many of the
streets having large holes and other
defects which must me remedied. The
work on the Spring creek sewer is
progressing. but it is thought several
weeks will elapse before the big job
shall have been completed. Mean
while, the roads through the Cameron
extension are in rather unsatisfactory
condition.
1t has been decided by the Depart
ment of Streets and Public Improve
mcnts to reconstruct the bridge over
the Jamestown road at Walnut street,
and 1T is understood that the work on
the River Front will be resumed with
in few days.
