Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they suf-
fer from constipation. The condition is
perfectly natural. 1t is just as natural as
it is for old people to walk slowly. For
age is never so active as youth. The
muscles are less elastic. And the bow
els are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as we'll refuse 10 aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle aid
r. weak bowels. The bowels must be
kept active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bcw-
els into activity. But a lash cant lie
used every day. What the bowels Of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic One that can be constantly used
without harm The only such tonic is
Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents
per box at any drug store.

Tortured Bankrupts.

The old-time bankrupt in Scotland
had to submit to treatment that would
have done something to satisfy even
Charles Lamb, who maintained that
bankrupts should be hanged. He was
compelled to wear lsdeous' partfcoi-
ored dress, half yellow and half
brown, until such time as he had paid
his debts in full. This was intended
merely as friendly warning to those
who might have dealings with him.
AS punishment the bankrupt was
publicly exhibited in the market place.

Eioht for a Cause.

The courage to die for cause can
not be bought for money. The morale
that leads soldiers unflinchingly to
face death comes only from the be-
lief that the cause for which they
fight is greater than the individual life
OF any man.

MAXIM DEFENCE
PLEA STIRS UP
PEACE MEETING
twenty-five Students QUIZ
Hall When He Urges
Armament.

Ithaca. n. Y, June 26.-Hudson
Maxim, the inventor, hurled series
Of verbal bombs into the camp OF the
student peace conference here to-day
and for q while the meeting assumed
anything but a peaceful character
Mr.. Maxim said that wars did not
result in harm, that quiekfring guns
were the best kind of lifesaving ma
chimes, because they compelled armies
10 spread out over wide areas and bur
row into the ground, and that this ma
ton would sooner or later get in:o
war. His statements were so strongly
resented by some Of the delegates that
at the conclusion of the speech, ST. Hu.
a Chinese, moved 10 adjourn on the
ground that the delegates had come 10
listen to facts, not jokes, and that in
asmuch as 10 arguments had been pre-
sented there was no basis for discus
sion. Twenty-Five delegates left the
hall. but quiet waa soon restored, an
apology offered 20 Mr. Maxim and ;he
discussion continued.
Maxim TO give the point of view of the
militarist, and he certainly stirred
things up. Norman Angel replied,
saying that both parties to the discus
sion desired prevention of war, but that
preparedness alone never had and
never would prevent war. Information
al understanding, he said, was essen
tial.
"If all the nations Of the world were
armed with pitchforks and store
shovels the United States might be well
protected" declared Mr.. Maxim. "But
the nations of the world are cunning
for one another. What they have done
in the past they will do in the future.
God created this world so that every
thing we have we get by strife. From
the microbe up to the man everything
is feeding on everything else.
Hits at the Pacifists.
"The minister Of the gospel doesn't
know where 20 cut 20 find a mans APP
pendix, and the pschsts don't know
where 20 treat Uncle Sam for his pres
ent weakness"
Mr.. Maxim admitted that he had sent
out copies Of his book, "Defenceless
America" TO members of the gradual
ing classes OF American universities
"out OF pure cussedness."
