 Most old people must give to the bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- tion is perfectly natural. It is just as natural as it is for old pebble 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 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 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.

UNION MEN URGE STATE INSPECTOR
 OF PUBLIC WORKS
Believe Connecticut s Build ings Aren't Property h.
 spected Now.

Because of the fact that there are now under construction throughout the state many public buildings for supervision of which no inspection of ficer is provided by law, the lesisla- ture will be appealed to immediately upon its opening this year to waive the rules of reading and a bill will be introduced for the creation of the office of state inspector of masonry, public build 7gs and works.
 The bill which is being drafted by masons' and plasterers' unions of the state, is said to have met with support of nearly every local attached to the Building Trades councils throughout the state and will be backed almost to unit by organizations affiliated with the American Federation of La bor.
 As tentatively drafted the bill will state inspector of masonry, public buildings and works shall be an ap- pointive office under the control of the governor, therein probably to be $2,000 per annum. Expenses are pianneu to De H1niteo to @l'oVV per annum.
 The duties of such an inspector will be to examine and inspect the ma- terial and workmanship of all build ings and other structures and addi- tions that may be constructed by con- tract or otherwise for the State of Connecticut of brick, stone or substi- tutes. He shall also see that build ings are constructed in accordance with contract. plans and specifications and 4the work, workmanship shall be subject to his approval.
 As tentatively drafted theb i'll will preclude any person being appointed to office other than a skilled mechanic with at least 10 years experience in brick and masonry work.
