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

kept active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But 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,

STRoNTIUM IN 1915.
No Bearing Ores of Domestic Origin
Were Sold in United States.

The manufacturers of red fire and OF
beet sugar are said to have shown con
siderable interest in domestic strontiun
deposits during the last year If sugar
holds its present price the beet sugar
makers might perhaps proftably substi-
tute the strontia method for the one
they now use, but the substitution will
require considerable time and its eco
nomy must depend on several economic
factors which are unknown to the Unit
ed States geological survey, by which the
statistics of the industry are compiled.
The returns received by the survey do
not show that any strontium- bearing
ores of domestic origin were sold in 1918
or that any American deposits were ex-
plotted
The deposits in northwestern Ohio and
southeastern Michigan seem to be the
best available for early exploitation. Gel
estite, strontium mineral, is reported
to occur in workable quantities in Ger
tain limestone quarries near Toledo, O.,
though it is not now recovered. The
mineral is found in broken and open beds
Of dolomite or magesion limestone, The
installation OF expensive machinery for
its recovery is hardly warranted, but the
larger pieces OF cclestite could be easily
hand sorted from limestone on picking
belts, or possibly on the ground, and
would probably find a market.
Large deposits Of celestite occur in Ari
IONA and California, but they are far
from markets and OF low grade as com
pared with commercial ores now used.
Plants for making commercial strontium
compounds may eventually be built at
places where both these sources could be
drawn upon, but the development OF

The Local Option Sweep.

The agony of the Perry bill, meaning
the prohibition measure, enacted in 1918,
found its grave yesterday by the votes
OF the citizens of this conservative state.
In the language of an Englishman-from
"John O'Groat's to Lands end" meaning
in this state from Derby Line to Reads
boro and from Lake Champlain TO the
Connecticut river the citizenship Of Yer
mont rose in unison TO wipe out that un-
holy thing, prohibtion-which is really
devised TO destroy democratic govern

fifty years without any real knowledge

prohibition, attached tight to the rocks
of the law OF prohibition. But that law
never stopped the sale of liquor--yet the

Why France Got Out of Mexico.

An editorial in the April Woman's
Home Companion reminds us of the real
reason why France got ont of Mexico
after the Civil wara reason that has
considera bic significance to-day:
when the Civil war was over we found
France in possession Of Mexico. we read.
Our government intimated to the French
government that its presence there was
undesirable. and the French withdrew.
Why? Because the righteousness Of our
protest made Napoleon ashamed OF him
self? Not at all. II was because at that
moment we had a million trained men
under arms. And having the million men
ready to fight We did not have to fight
That victory was won without the firing
Of single gun or the loss OF single
drop Of blood because we were prepared
for victory"

these deposits must wait on the decision
Of the sugar refners to adopt the stron-
tia process.
Most Of the commercial ores used in
making strontium salts are of high grade
containing at least 95 per cent stronti-
um sulphatc. English celestite is at
present largely used on the eastern sea
board and is laid down at the works at
about Sl2 ton, so the owners of de-
posits of strontium ores must not hope
for large profits on their crude material.
The principal commercial strontium
salts are strontium hydroxide, used in
the beet-sugar industry, and strontium
nitrate, used in pyrotechnics, in which,
however, strontium chloride is also used.
Small quantities of certain organic and
inorganic salts, such as acetate lactate,
bromide, iodide, arsenite, and phosphate,
are used in medicine
Strontium nitrate was formerly used
in making some types of smokeless pow
der, but the powder companies, it is said,
now use the salts of signal shells, in
which the value OF the strontium lies IN
the brilliant red color it imparts to the
fame produced by explosion
The imports Of strontium oxide, pro
toxide of strontium, and Of strontanite,
or mineral carbonate Of strontia, in 1914,
as reported by the department Of com
merce, we're valued at Sl0l6, and in 1915
at S6,4ll The imports Of celestite
(strontium sudphate used by domestic
manufacturers OF strontium salts are not
recorded, as this mineral is classified with
other chemicals not specially provided
for. Strontium salts are imported free
OF duty.

dren to be supported, or to aid a nus
band who has been unfortunate and
is down and out to struggle to his feet
again.
The more incentive woman has to
earn money the keener her desire is
to push her way through the hardest
of obstacles to obtain the highest sal
airy the work she is engaged at has to
offer. The girl or woman who has no
incentive takes only enough interest
In her work to get through with it and
draw her pay, content to scrape to-
gether enough to keep the wolf OF
want from her door and shelter over
her head. She makes no struggle for
advancement, yet wonders why others
elbow her aside, reaching the higher
salaried positions.
Two salesgirls may enter the employ
of firm together, both being placed,
we will say, at the lace counter. One
girl will not take down heavy boxes
to show other patterns of lace unless
the floorwalker's eye is on her or the
customer complains. She looks de-
family at each patron as she ap-
proaches, making her feel that she is
going beyond her right if she fails to
be suited with the two or three selec-
tons which have been laid apparently
grudgingly for her to choose from.
The other girl feels an interest in
each customer that approaches her.
Her eyes and lips smile q welcome,
her very eagerness to please, no mat
ter how difficult making a choice ap-
pears to be, causes that customer to
look for her when next she comes to
purchase, refusing to be waited on by
anyone else. One girl grows popular
while the value of the other girls serv-
Ices decreases in accordance with the
seeming dissatisfaction of patrons and
the lessening amount of her sales The
obliging girl becomes in due time head
of stock, then buyer, with constant
rise of salary, every penny of which
she earns. She grows intensely inter
ested in her work, doing it the best
way it can be done. This insures COM
tort and happiness for her loved ones
as well as herself. The grind of toll,
no matter how hard or depressing,
should never rob a woman of her am
bition to do something greater or bet
ter to increase her earning capacity.
One correspondent asks: SHOULD a
woman keep her thoughts continually
on work or might she be pardoned If
she looked to matrimony to escape a
life of toil?" In reply, would say
that those who wed simply to shift
the burden of support on mans
shoulders are usually back at their
positions again sooner than they ex-
pected, with another to support. The
working girl, of all others, should look
well ere she leaps into matrimony lest
she jump from the frying pan into the
fire.

Umbrella Lono In Use.

The antiquity of our old and much
loved friend, the umbrella, is beyond
dispute. The Chinese, who are never
so happy as when juggling with groups
of centuries, date the appearance of
the first umbrella back to four or five
thousand years before the Mosaic date
of the creation of the world. Sanscrit
poets carry many illusions to its value
as q protector of the bare-headed. In
the Chaldaic scriptures of Nineveh we
are told that the umbrella as an EN-
blem of royalty adopted by eastern
nations was generally carried over the
king in time of peace and sometimes
in war.

the other days When he sees her

The wife finds that life holds disil-
Instruments when her husbands atti-

the griddle cakes and her clumsiness

angry retort that if he was so over

have married an experienced cook,

When he answers that every girl who
