for Con situation.

Among older people the various Or
cans of the body have tendency to
slow UP and weaken, and this is usu-
ally first manifest in a pronounced in
activity of tho bowels.
Good health is dependent on regular
ity in this important function; when
ever there is the slightest indication Of
constipation. a mild laxative should
he taken to relieve the congestion and
dispose OF the accumulated. waste.
Cathartics or purgatives should not
be employed, however; these are too
violent in action and their effect Is
only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combin-
alton Of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. (known as DR.. Caldwelrs Syr-
up Pepsin) is the ideal remedy. 1t is
gentle in its action, bringing relief in
an easy. natural manner. without grip
ing or other pain or discomfort, Is
pleasant to the taste, and can be OBJ
tanned in any drug store.

Guilty of Trespass

Bath, Me-, May 15.-Robert II. Jack of
Bowdoinham, a deputy sheriff, was de-
clared not guilty of trespass by jury in
the supreme court Monday afternoon.
Or. Hugh d. Grant brought the action.

living in Bowdoinham. DR.. Grant testi-
fled that party of masked men called

warning him to drop civil action which
they understood he was preparing to bring
against a wel-known woman, and also
intimatng that his presence was no long
err desired in Bowdoinham DR.. Grant
said circumstances pointed to Mr. Jack
as being one of the party and brought ac-
ton against him, which was tried in the
supreme court last January, but dis
agreement in the Jury arose. The sec
ond trial opened last Friday.

Many Of them have bundles and packages
containing all they own in the world. but
there are also manv who have nothing.
The horrible and tragic stories these poor
souls tell, The generous gifts which
came with a lightnng-like rapidity from
America have enabled us to supply with
clothing and the necessities of life those
who are most in need AS the French
and English troops advance. the people
who are lucky enough to be alive, or left
in France are brought from the devastat-
ed region and scattered throughout the
country. Many have come with pieces of
wood strapped to their feet, their shoes
having worn out long ago. The women
have nothing but what they are wearing
We are doing all we can and any clothes
or food-stuffs that are sent us will be dis
