OLD FOLKS NEED
"CASCARETS" FOR
Liver, bowels

Get a 10-cent box now.
Most old people must give to the bowels
some regular'help, else they suffer from
constipation. The condition 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 Gascarets 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 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 a lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the ole
need is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used withou
harm. The only such tonic Is Cascarets
and they cost only 10 cents per box Al

CAR STRIKE ENDED,
COMPANY DECLARES
Operating Adequate Service and Build

The company feels that the strike
! Is over for the reason that II Is able to
operate adequate service and disorders
and damage to its property have about
ceased" was the statement made by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany last night
officials declared that the only thing
now remaining ito do Is to build up q
permanent organization, which is being
done, and will result in enabling the
company to maintain good discipline and
render a much more efficient service than
1t has under the intolerable conditions
that have existed the past year"
The company announced that the sign
Ing of individual contracts Is not maoo
compulsory. but that trainmen returning
to work who fail to sign this contract
will receive the old wage scale. 1t wac
declared that a number of striking con-
ductors and motormen returned to work
Yesterday.
Company Posts Notices.
The company last night posted a notice
at all car barns defining the status Of
conductors and motormen, including
those who remained in the service during
the strike and those who may hereafter
be reinstated.
This notice together with a statement
from the officials follows:
NAMED in the service during the strike
will retain their seniority in pay and
scheduled runs. Any conductor or motor
man regularly employed on and after
March u will be entitled to pick sched-
uled runs according to seniority from
March II. Any conductor or motorman
who is reinstated after March IL will re-
ceive pay according to his length of SER
vice before March Il, but will select
scheduled runs dating from time that he
reported for reinstatement
Contracts Prevent strfke.
The individual contract provides
against strikes. but does not prevent any
employe from resigning as an individual
at any time II he desires. The company
believes that q public service corpora
ton whose duty is to furnish uninter-
rupted and efficient service to the public
should not be placed In a position where
Its employees may strike or quit work in
body without regard TO the public con-
venience.
"A number OF the striking conductors
and motormen have signed contracts and
returned to work yesterday New men
are coming in rapidly and are being in
structed as fast as possible Under the
conditions now existing new men coming
in are able to get regular runs at once,
whereas ordinarily they have to serve
as extra men for several months

prised at the large number Of new ap-
plicants for work and is confident that

ton quickly.
