An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of 85 or 90, you
will find that he is a light eater.
Be as careful as you will, however,
you will occasionally eat more than
the disorder. These tablets do not
contain pepsin, but strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform
it's functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement of the
bowels.

TUB FROCKS.
Pointers About the Wash able Models For Summer.

| Some of the new gingham frocks are of the simplest and most practical ] character, frocks meant to stand hard wear and to be sent to the tub when ever necessary; yet a line here or a 1 line there, the Cleverness in cutting, the charm of color, the daintiness of collar and cuffs or guimpe-such things as these give even the plainest of the models an air of mOdishness.
 Much Is done with the rather large block checks in blue and white, black and white, pink and white, etc, and one of the simplest yet most popular of these block check ginghams shows good lines and finish and pipings of white.
 Less practical because not tubbable, but extremely good looking and orig inal, is little dress in which Scotch plaid gingh2m is welded to black taffeta. The gay plaid forms most of the upper part of the froCk, but from ! the hips down the skirt is of black l tafreta, and there Is a little of the | black taffeta about the collar and cuffs and buttons.
 Plain gingham was combined with check or plaid very successfully in other models, and white pique or white organdy often relieved the darker col brings. One red and white broken plaid frock trimmed in narrow pipings of red and with a delectable little pep | Ium vest and collar of fine white | batiste, hand tucked and embroidered, was a great favorite with buyers and pretty enough for summer afternoon wear whenever one might in other sea- sons have worn a smart linen frock.
 There seems to be a definite effort to place the white linen frock in the lime light, and 1t would be hard to find any thing that would look cooler crisper, more immaculate, for midsummer wear ! than fresh white linen, but that word ''frcsh" is the shibbOlcth that linen pro- nounces only with great difficulty. 1T there is material that loses its fresh ness more easily and speedily than white linen, that more quickly looks mussy and wrinkled and all that the summer dress should not look that ma terial is unreliable indeed.
 The ColorCd linens are not only fewer than usual. but seem on the whole less attractive in color, fau,c they share with many of the seGson's materials. thanks to the complications regarding dyestuffs. However there are linens of lovely colors, even if not in the usual quantity. and here and there one sees a linen frOck that is altogether charming.
 Coat frocks of linen in which smock like coat of the stuff falls over a skirt hung from the shoulders by suspend CT or skeleton underbody of white mus lin are made up in various colors, as are genuine smOck frocks in two pieces, and are comfortable and useful for sports wear or workaday uses.
