Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years irnpairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
It is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective.
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. It costs only
fifty cents a bottle, and should be
in every family medicine chest.
A trial bottle, free Of charge,
can be obtained by writing to
DR.. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Wash
ington ST., Monticello, Illinois.

Simplicity in Army Dress

Inc London Times reporter who met
Gen. Pershing and his staff on the oc-
CaSion of their passage through the
British metropolis was so much i'm
pressed with the simplicity of the Of
ficers' uniforms that he described them
in some detail for the benefit Of the
Thunderer's readers. E.spec, ally did he
remark that compared to those Of the
British army, the Americans uniforms
are unobtsusive. This may comfort
some of our home folks. who have i'm
bibed their idea of official dress from
watching parade of the governors
staff. AS matter of fact the Amer
lean army never has been given to
excess in the matter Of dress While
he has always been arrayed more def
rHtely than was Gungha Dhin. he has
al no time sought to shame the noon
day sun. and some of his greatest ac-
conplishmentS have been achieved at
times when his apparel was least inn
presSive. Gen. Grant received the sur
render of Robert r.. Lee attired in a
battered service uniform much worse
lor hard riding over dusty roads on
that memorable morning and many
stores are related OF how George
Washington went among his men un-
recognized because OF the lack of off
cial designation. This is one of the
Sc crets of the American soldier Our
European friends may note some other
departures from tradition in the man
rers of our army. but they VIII find
the boys a magnificent lot of we'll
behaved young men. who may be de-
pended upon in a pinch, and who know
how to wear simple garb with becom-
ing ignity.-On.aha Zee

A number of Rockwell city people
were stung a short time ago by buy
ing a lot. of stock in an Idaho con-
rern that was going to raise apples
in that state. Possibly these gentle
men overlooked the chance to buy
wild horses in Wyoming, or Arizona,
all they could catch, at $40 or $50
per head. Iowa produces more apples
each year than any Of the so-called
apple states of the west and no man

Another thing the legislature
should do this winter is to restore
the circle at the head Of the ballot.
The circle makes voting SO much cas-
Ter for the man who wants to vote
for the entire ticket and it is no
hardship upon the man who wants
to scratch. With the ballot there,
he simply lets It alone and puts a
cross in each square before the can
didate for whom he wishes to vote.
The circle should never have been
removed. Moreover, the circle is of
some advantage to the election offs
