OLD FOLKS need
'CASCARETS' FOR
Liver, BOWELS
Salts, CaIomel, Pills Act on
Bowels Like Pepper Acts

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. The condi-
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 ply
sizes. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels of the old need is gentle and
natural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly 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

fore the canal is cleared OF its slides

house appropriation committee yes
terday and spoke for some time on
the great canal and the problems that

the admission OF water into the ditch

been complete In all. he told the
committeeman. S,000.000 cubic yards
of earth had tumbled into the canal
in the last big slides. The dFedges

WASHINGTON. -- Little encourage

naval officers and experts called be-
affairs was given TO the American
Defense Society Today by Congress
man A. p. Gardner of Massachusetts,
who not only cited the failure OF his
own endeavors to obtain such assur-
auces, but also called attention TO the
"grotesque showing" in the delay in
building battleships Nos. "A and 43,
for which the money was voted by
Congress in March, 1915.
Through Secretary Gushing Stetson,
the American Defense Society recent

of the delay in the construction of au-
tEorized battleships. In reply, Mr..
Gardner on January l6 referred the
society to Chairman Padgett of the
committee, and then went into the
building situation. his letter reading:

the long delays in the construction OF

TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNDER NORMAL WEIGHT
Good Advice For Thin, UndeveIoped
Men and Women Who Want
to Put on Flesh

Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and fee
BILE stomachs who, having tried adver-
tised flesh-makers, food-fads, physical
culture stunts and rub-on creams, re-
sign themselves to lifelong skinniness
and think nothing will make them fat
Yet their case is not hopeless. A re-
Gently discovered combination of as
similative agents has made fat grow
after years of thinness, and it is also
unequaled, judging from reports, for
repairing the waste of sickness or
faulty digestion and for strengthen
ing the nerves. This remarkable prep
aration is called Sargol. Six strength
giving, fat-producing assimilative ele-
ments of acknowledged merit have
been combined in this preparation,
which is Endorsed and used by promi-
nent people everywhere. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive and eff
cient.
A few weeks systematic use of Sar-
gol should go far to produce flesh
and strength by correcting faults OF
digestion and by supplying nourishing
fats to the blood. Increased nourish-
ment is obtained from the food eaten,
and the additional fats that thin peo-
pie need are thus provided. Benson,
Smith & Co., HOLSTER Drug Co,
Chambers Drug Co. and other leading
druggists supply Sargol and say there
is a large demand for it..
While this new preparation has from
reports given splendid results as a
nerve-tonic and vitalizer, its use Is
not recommended to nervous people
unless they wish to gain at least 10
pounds of flesh.-Adv.

What Human Body Can Endure.
JuiIlv October 81 10


On October % we received a load
of So wounded at o'clock in the morn
ing and for the next two days were
busy enough. taking out pieces OF shell,
draining infected wounds, fixing up
broken bones in apparatuses and
dressing the wounds. Fortunately none
of the wounded in this lot were the
awful Jaw cases that are so distress
ing. One poor fellow has piece OF
his spine torn out by a she'll and Is
paralyzed from the wound to the tips
of his toes. There is no hope OF a
cure and he will probably not live
long. Fortunately he does not suffer.
His father, living in the south OF
France, was reached by telegram AID
came yesterday with his daughter. The
meeting was a sad one yet they were
glad to see him alive. We see in our
cases many wonderful escapes. Men
shot through the head and yet alive
and on the road to recovery; wounds
of the head Just missing the eye; legs
shot through the knee joint and heal
ing I'D without infection; lungs shot
through and recovering-we do not
see the bodies torn to pieces on the
battlefield.
Then there are the gas bacillus"
infection cases which we are always
afraid of. A thigh shows hole OF
two or three holes. There is fever,
the leg is much swollen-the wound
discharges dirty pus and bubbles. The
patient does not look very sick but
he will be-that is sure. An X-ray
