CONSTIPATION A
PENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is so essential to health
in advancing age as keeping the
bowels open. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher and forestalls
colds, piles, fevers and other de-
pendent ills.
Cathartics and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, effec-
tive laxative-tonic, recommended
by physicians and thousands who
have used it, is the combination OF
simple herbs with pepsin, sold by
druggists everywhere under the

GERMANY TRIES
FRYE CASE IN
"PR|zE" COURT

WASHINGTON, May 19-Despite
Secretary Bryan's disavowal, other
high officials in the department said
the dispatch that the Frye case had
been called in prize court had been
received. 1t was admitted also that
inquiry had been made in Berlin as to
whether the calling of the case had
been done as an answer to the Ameri-
can protest.
In the office Of the counsellor Of the
department, it was considered. unlike
ly that Germany had intended to reply
to the United States protest in this
way. This was justified by the Ger
man circular on May II, which
promised that if neutral ship came
to harm in the war zone, Germany
would Immediately make reparation
without instituting a prize court act
ion.
While this circular did not refer to
incidents such as the sinking of the
Frye, state department officials
thought it would be morally binding
on Germany to give the case of the
Frye equally frank consideration. A
reply from Berlin explaining the call
ing of the case in prize court is eX-
pected to reach Washington in a few
days.
The basis for the report of the state
department against prize court pro-
ceedure was that under the treaties
between the United States and Prussia
under which Germany acknowledged
her responsibility to pay damages to
the owners of the Frye, the award
should be made by diplomatic rules.

In the country.
Colonel Palmer, now cOmmander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, talked about It to an interview
er not long ago when he was In
Washington making arrangements for
the annual encampment. which opens
Sept. II, two days before the parade.
The colonel was sought In a hotel.
"Come up" he said over the telephone,
and when the interviewer arrived at
the door there was sturdy, active,
powerful looking man, seemingly about
fifty years old, with pink cheeks and
youthful eyes and a general air Of well
being about him, waiting at the door.
The bent and broken figure of an old
man who had been a lieutenant-colonel

the interviewer.
"Come in." said the man ut the door,

Then came a long and satisfying talk
OF the grand review Of 1865 and the
one to come next September; Of the
war, Of battles and experiences In
camp; all simply told. without the
slightest attempt at heroics. Only once
did the colonel drop the semihumOrous
tone In which, as with man who new
er grows old, he had talked of himself.
That was when he was asked what
sort of horse he had managed to get
for the grand review In '65.
"The horse rode all through the
campaigns" he said promptly. Jack,
a big bay. l took him as colt out
Of Iowa, and rode him continually
through to the end Of the war. He was
! six years old at the time Of the review
and he knew what 1t was all about and
was just as proud of being in 1t as
any man was.

window, that horse was peach! He
went through all the fights and was
wounded only once. That was not d
