CONSTIPATION is
A PENALTY OF AGE

Nothing is so essential to
health in advancing age as free
dom and normal activity of the
bowels. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher, and fore
stalls colds, piles, fevers, and
other dependent ills.
Catharties and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, eff
fective laxative, recommended by
physicians and thousands who
have used il, is far preferable.
This is the combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin sold
by druggists under the name of
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. II
costs only fifty cents a bottle; a
trial bottle, free Of charge, can be
obtained by writing to DIR. w. B.

The history that yesterday was quiet.

be read and studied in Berlin. The final
figures OF registration, which apparently
will largely exceed expectations, will
present concrete marshaling of our

it is the shortage of man power rather
than of food which seems to have be-

to sneer at our military impotency, as it

eyes, have military potentiality they

blows in the death grapple around Arras

In his speech to the Confederate vet
Grams President Wilson said that all day
his mind had been turning to the long
lines of men all over the country who
were registering for army service That
vision was before the minds of many
yesterday, and to some it brought back
recolections of August, 1914, when mag
NATIVE people were haunted by the
marching of endless armies and the UNI
broken rumble of troop trains crossing
the Rhine. Six millions of men in arms
seemed then an Incredible thing; since
then six millions of men have marched
into eternity and the war still goes on.
We all hope that the end will come be-
fore even the first instalment of the
men registered yesterday are ready for
service, but the long lines of which the
president was thinking are a symbol of

Well Expressed in Few Words.

A young planter in Mississippi had an
old servant called Uncle Nose, who had
cared for him as a child and whose de-
votion had never wsned. The young
man became engaged to a beauty of the
neighborhood who was credited with the
possession of violent temper. Noticing
that Uncle Nose never mentioned his ap-
preaching marriage, the planter said one
day:
'Mose, you know / am going 30 marry
Miss Curriers"
"Yassuh, / knows it."

l Little Rock, Oct. 10.--Famp Will Hams, federal food administrator for ] Arkansas, started his campaign for ! the signing of the food pledge card
 by driving fifty miles last Saturday, | to Womble, Montgomery county, to enable his mother an opportunity to sign the first card. The story IS told in the following telegram to the food 1 administration in Washington:
 "I have driven fifty miles into the
 rural districts to give my widowed
 mother, who is v years of age, an
 opportunity to sign the first pledge card in our national cleanup pledge 1 card campaign in Arkansas, My , mother appreciates this as an honor
 conferred upon her. She endured

MEN WAIVED

As result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of busi- ness, both public and private. for trained men and women Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bufeaess or techni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lectiEe draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, and other branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were. offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looIing for an op- portunity and believe in the Do it now" spirit, should, by all means, communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan fo. assisting yonng peo- pie to prepare for business life
