Just az natural asst IL for old peo-

SO all old people need Cascarets.

bowels must be kept active. This is

Age In not time for harsh

ily admitted this to M. r. Rytten-
berg, assistant district attorney.
Four years ago, he said, he lived
in poverty in a $3.50 room. He ate
at a cheap restaurant and bought ms
clothes at bargain sales. He then
was employed, as he was up to the
time of his arrest, by the Leggett
company. At that time he received
S12 a week. Thus he lived until two
years ago, when he was given S23 a
week.
Then he married a pretty young
stenographer. Although his salary
is still $25 a week here IS the way
he was living when arrested;
His apartment rents for Sl2O a
month. The furniture cost HIM $780,
600, he said. Two of the rugs IN
the apartment cost $1,000 each. and
he produced bills to prove it. Tiger
skins gave added warmth to his
home. His bric-abrac cost h'm many
thousands of dollars. He had a liv-
cried chauffeur, to whom ne paid $50
