OLD FOLKS NEED
i'CASCARETS" FOR
LIVER, BOWELS
Salts, caIomeI, pills act on bow
els like pepper acts in
nOStriIS.
Enjoy Life! Don't stay bilious,
sick, headachy and
cOnstipated.
Get a .10-cent box now.


Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation Thee ond1-
ton 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 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 import
ant at all ages. but never so much as
at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh phisics.
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
used 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.

This wear marks the centenary of
the establishment of the frontier
post on Lake Michigan which was the
nucleus Of the future great city of
Chicago. The first Fort Dearborn was
built by the U. S. in 1904, but it was
evacuated in 1912 by order of General
Hull and many of the soldiers and
civilians were killed while attempt
ing to escape, after which the Indians
burned the fort and the log cabins
which had grown up about it. The
site-caI1ed t'Che-gaw-go'' by the red
skins, reverted to the wilderness, but
in 1912 the fort was rebuilt by Cap
tain Bradley. The first. school was
also founded that year for the benefit
of the children of the>soIdiers and of
the settlers in the vicinity.
1t was Sc years ago today. in 1880,
that James Thompson began the sur
vey of the town of Chicago. He
plated an area of about three-eighths
of a square mile in the vicinity of the
fort. and--under- the aegis of ~Dear-
born's garrison a tiny settlement
sprang up. Even at that time the
danger of Indian raids was not en-
tire1y passed, and it was not until
1897 that the protecting garrison was
with drawn.
In 1881 the first postof1ce was es-
tablished At that time the village
contained about a dozen families, in
addition to the officers and soldiers at
Fort Dearborn. The town of Chicago
was organized by the election of five
trustees in 1888. At that period there
were % voters. Soon after the in
corporation of the town the municipal
authorities entered into a treaty with
the chiefs of the Potawatomies, 1000
of the tribe attending the council. 1t
was Chicago's farewell to the red
skins, for they were soon afterward
removed west of the Mississippi.

II WILL the motto of Chicago,
seems to have animated the pioneers
of the village, for it gained rapidly in
population and Importance, and in
1887, when the first Charter of the
city was granted by the legislature,
the census-taker found 4,47O souls
within the city's boundaries.
The first sermon in English had
been preached in Chicago in 1925, and
by 1887 the Windy City had five
churches. There were ten taverns
where refreshments, solid and liquid,
were supplied to man and beast. The
pioneers were seemingly much
given to litigation their descend
ants, for J. lawyers, practiced their
profession in the Chicago of 1897.
