Most Old People
Are COnStipated

The wear Of years impairs the
action of the bowels. With advanc-
ing age people are disposed to re-
stricted activity and exercise. which
is responsible for the constipated
condition of most old folks. The
digestive organs are more sensitive
to the demands made upon them
and rebel more quickly.
A mild, effective remedy for con-
stipation, and one that is especially
suited to the needs OF elderly peo-
pie, women and children. is the
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin that is sold in
drug stores under the name of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A free

SNYDER'S NEW ZEBRA
SURE OF ITS STRIPES
Keener Will Use Paint if Nature
Fails to Adorn New Arrival
at Birth.

Which comes first, the stripes or the
Zebra? This question is causing hot
debate among the keepers in the Cen
trail Park Zoo. Kitty. the zebra mare
is expecting an addition to her family
some time this week. None of her
kind have ever before been born in
captivity. nor have hunters approached
close enough to zebra colt to de-
terminc whether it is born with stripes
or whether these decorations are signs
Of maturity.
Old Doc Stork is the only one who
can helm Bill Snyder and Tom Donovan.
These two keepers spend hours IN argu-
nc whether a zebra and its stripes
arrive simultaneously.
If the baby is born unmarked Bill in
siats that he will be obliged to paint
streaks on the infants hide TO keep
tho public from believing that they are
beinr fooled when they are introduced
to Kitty's offspring.
