Says Simple Remedy
Prolonged His Life
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Effective as a Remedy
for Constipation.

Among older people the various or
gans of the body have a tendency to
slow up and weaken, and this is usually
first manifest in pronounced inactiv-
ity of the bowels.
Good health is dependent on regular
fty in this important function; when
ever there Is the slightest indication of
constipation a mild laxative should be
taken to relieve the congestion and dis
pose Of the accumulated waste. Ca
thartics or purgatives should not be
employed, however; these are too vio-
lent in action and their effect is only
temporary.
mild laxative such as the combi-
nation of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, known as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle In its action, bringing, relief in
an easy, natural manner, without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort, is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ
tanned in any drug store.
Mr.. Robert LeForgee, 918 Kirkwood

has always had a bottle of Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in the house for
the past eighteen years, and that by

TO INCREASE
THE SUPPLY OF FOOD

Dublin, Oct 3-The efforts of the
Irish department of agriculture to in
crease the food supply have resulted
in an addition of over $4,000 acres of
land to the area under cultivation.
Instructions have been sent about the
country advising farmers as to the
best methods of utilizing their land,
and the growing of catch crops.
Although Ireland has a flourishing
linen trade in Belfast it does not, to
any great extent grow It's own flax,
and the department has been endeavor-
ing to remedy this. Early In August.
1914, the department issued a memo
randum advising flax growers to save
flax seed for their sowing requirements
the following spring. The procuring of
seed during the season of 1914-15 was
attended with considerable difficulties.
Upon representations Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, facilities were OBJ
tainedd, through the Intervention of
the foreign office, for the export of seed
from Russia and Holland to this coun-
try Though these supplies helped the
flax growers. 1t was insufficient to
meet their full requirements. A So
ciety of flax growers has been formed,
and arrangements have been made for
the cultivation of the crop on a more
extensive scale.
