Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years impairs
the action of the bowels. With
advancing age people are dis
posed to restricted activity and
exercise. which is responsible
for the constipated condition
of most old folks. The digest
i've organs are more sensitive
to the demands made upon
them and rebelt more quickly.
A mild. effective remedy for
constipation, and one that is
especially suited to the needs
OF elderly people. women and
children. is the combination Of

I sin that is sold in drug stores

LOSS OF $4,000
SUSTAINED TO-DAY
Flames Apparently Started
Near the Fur
mace

st. Johnsbnry, Jan. Ia Fire to-day
destroyed the Grace Methodist Episcopa
church structure, causing loss of $40,
600. The fire apparently started neal
the furnace. A good insurance is carried
through local agencies, and it is thought
| that the edifice will be rebuilt and in
more ample size than the old. 1t was
only few years ago that the church
was partially burned and rebuilt. Rev
George A. Martin is the present pastor
of the society.
The fire was one of the most spectacu-
lar in st. Johnsbury for a long time, be-
cause of the nature of the construction
of the building with a large bell tower.
There was grave apprehension lest this
tower fall on some OF the neighboring
buildings, and the occupants of those
structures were ordered out until the
tower collapsed on itself after being par
TALLY burned. That was at l0;30 this
forenoon. Half an hour before the tower
fell, the supports of the bell were burned
away, and the bell fell with a great
crash, The fire WIS still burning this
afternoon, but the flames were under
control, after having been confined to the
church edifce The parsonage building
on the same property was saved. On
nearby lots were the new st, Johnsbury
house, the Goss garage, the Colonial the
atre and business block containing
stores and the Office of the Western
Union Telegraph company. The church
was located on Central street.
The fire was discovered at o'clock
and was breaking out of the yestry at
that hour The flames had made much
progress, and il was impossible to save
the structure, although the firemen
worked hard. There was a midweek
meeting in the structure last evening,
and il Is thought probable that the fur.
mace became oyerheated during the
night, setting FIRE to some of the timbers
There are theories OF defective wiring,
too, but those theories are not generally
held. The building was Of wood. with
