Remedy Prescribed
 by Many Doctors
Compound Of Simple Laaative Herbs Proves Most
 Efficient

Dr. W. A. Evans, writing for the Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion that practically everyone, at some time or other, suffers from constipation This applies regardless of age or con- dition in life
 The congestion of stomach waste in the bowels is evidenced in various ways; bloat, eructation of foul stomach gases sick headache, langour, all indi- cate constipation, and call for prompt attention, not only to relieve the pres ent discomfort but also to avoid possi- ble disease that follows neglect of this important function.
 Harsh cathartics and violent purga- tives should not be employed, as these afford only temporary relief, while they serve to shock the entire system. A mild laxative such as Dr. Caldwelrs Syrtp Pepsin is far preferable and is now the remedy generally used and prescribed by many doctors. It is free from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts easily and pleasantly, without gripping or other pain and is a safe, effective family remedy.
 MT. Chas. Schell, 1S2 Church St. Grenada, Miss. writes that he found relief himself by using Dr. Caldwell's

When Norwich Was a Shipping Post

A former Norwich resident, who is interested in The Bulletins stories of time Norwich shipping, is David Hale Tanning, president of the Royal Worcester (Mass.) Corset company, who is alert and vigorous at S5. MT. Tanning writes to an acquaintance in Norwich:
 I was really glad of the clippings, because they show what a wonderful business Norwich did a hundred years ago. I well remember when the steam boats came up there and the river was full of sloops and coal barges, and it was a very lively place down around the wharf. The last time I was in Norwich I went down around the water front, and it almost looked like Sun day-a vast difference from the old time when so many boats of various kinds came in. It is true the steam boats were made larger and had diff ficulty in getting to AlLyns' Point and then later at New London. I suppose this was all in the interest of good business. But Norwich is not much of seaport today.

 This will be 8 club match in which all members of either club. who are in good standing. will compete and is expected to be a hotly contested match.
 All shooting will be done at 75 feet, each man shooting 10 shots, 5 prone and 5 offhand on the standard Civil ian club targets, the bullseye being 3-8 inch in diameter.
 The Meriden club will do all of their shooting offhand.
 The Meriden club has members that are considered the best shots in the country. The Norwich club hope to offset this by showing a high ave- rage per man, and the fact that no picked teams from the clubs will shoot, should give the Norwich club an excellent chance to win out.

When 1t came to the men the matter
was different. 1t Is safe to say that the
strain of the reception was harder on
the president than days OF the utmost

which was inflicted on the chief execu-

the end OF the long line was reached
were each and all ready TO take n long
rest.
Only one OF the ladies of the cabinet
showed any effects from her exertions.
Mrs. Lansing left the line early I'm the
evening as the result of a shoulder
which she recently strained while play
ing golf. This brought Mrs. McAdoo to
the position OF second In the reception
line, and she showed herself to be com
pletely at home In the gracious manner
In which she greeted her fathers
guests. The petite Mrs. Burleson was
one OF the most attractive OF the wo-
men who received. Sparkling and viva
cious, she appeared at the end of the
evening as though ready to go through
a similar experience ut a moments no

There was just one disappointing

to divide sandwiches In halves failed
to bring the needed relief.
