 Most old people must give to tn9 bowels some regular help, else they suffer from constipation. The condi- ton is perfectly natural. It 1s 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 gAsses as to neElect this gentle aid to weak bowels. The boweis 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 physics. Youth may occasionally whip the bow 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 sonic Is Cascarets, and they cost only 10 cents per hox at any drug store. They work while you sleep.

I therefore adapted. amending the traf1lc -ordi- nance. which win allow vehicles to stand on one side of this street only. and limiting parking on the. other side. This should remedy the condition without seriously inconvenfencing any one.
 About Barrel Stealing.
 I have already had a complaint this fan of the nuisance occa sicned by boys who persist In stealing barrels, presumably to be burned on Thanks giving Day night While this custom wich, it not only shows an entire dis regard of the property rights of oth- CTS, but also occasions a real nui- sance in the scattering of the con- tents of the barrels so stolen upon the property of the owner and the adjoining streets. The practice is not only entirely contrary to law but Is in no way justtfiable. therefore take this means of giving notice to the public that the police have been in structed to use every means to ap- prehend boys engaged in this practice, and every effort will be made to have any apprehended severely punished.

eddy add greatly to her tremendous
popularity by her work in The
Dancers Peril" the latest World
Picture which shows at the Isis the
atre today. This picture is story
of the Russian ballet in which Miss

call for powerful characterizations.
She is first seen as the wife of a
Russian grand duke who is forced to
leave him because the Russian court
objects to his marriage. Next she is
seen as the daughter, who becomes a
member of the Russian ballet. The
daughter does not know that her
father is the grand duke. When the
members of the ballet are picked to
go to Paris for an engagement, the
girl is among the number. But her
father tells the woman who looks
after her, to keep the girl at home.
But the girl runs awaE with the bal
let and in Paris the impresario of the
ballet, who has become infatuated
with her, gets her to his apartment,
There her mother rescues her in a
startling manner and the girls love
affair with a young man of her own
age ends happily. Miss Alice Brady's
friends will all enjoy her iiapersona-
tons of these two characters ire
mendously. This is one of the most
brilliant things Miss Brady has ever
done.
