LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEOPLE" CASCARETS"
Salts, Calomel and Pills Act on Liver
and Bowels Like Pepper Acts in
Nostrils--Dangerl
49, q l0.cent hnx NAM

Get l0-cent box now.
Most old people must give TO the bow
els some regular help, else they suffer
from constipation. The condition is per.
fectly natural. II 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 bowels
are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels, The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never 50 much as at 80.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity But a lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly usea without
harm. The only such tonic is Cascarets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store. They work while you
sleep.-Adyt.

Sir Isaac Newton.

The discovery Of gravitation was the
first of many great ideas that came to
"the greatest original thinker OF all
time" Newton was also the pioneer
in announcing the physical properties
OF light. His epitaph, translated from
the Latin. on his monument in West
minister Abbey describes in few
words the greatest accomplishments of
Newton. IL reads;
Here lies Isaac Newton. who by
vigor Of mind always supernatural
first demonstrated the motions and
figures Of the planets, the paths OF
the comets and the tides OF the ocean.
He discovered what before his time no
one had even suspected, that rays OF
light are differently refrangible and
that this is the cause Of colors.

BAGGING A HIPPO.
How 1t is Done and How the Flesh OF
the Animal Tastes.

How 1t Is Done and How the Flesn OF
the Animal Tastes.
There are two ways of bagging a
hippopotamus, says a writer in the
Wide World Magazine, and neither is
justified unless the sportsman is sorely
in want of food fo'- its meat is very
poor indeed and wants a good deal Of
preparation to be palatable to any one
except the starving. Ii has taste
can only describe as fishy, something
what beef would taste like after being
wrapped up for a couple of days with
a Scotch paddock of doubtful fresh
ness
The hippo may be shot in water.
When MORALLY wounded he viii sink
and viii not reappear on the surface
for several hours, consequently firing
lookout has to be kept for the carcass.
If he is only slightly wounded he may
charge, but more often he will flee and
die In the reeds to serve as food for
scavenger birds or crocodiles.
The other and more sporting way Is
TO shoot him on land This is, as a
rule, only possible at night or late in
the evening and early in the morning.
Ii would not be wise to find oneself
between the river and the wounded
hippo, for he at once makes for the
water by the shortest route, and he
goes so fast that getting out of his
way requires pretty speedy feet and
great coolness Of nerve.
