Children are big factors in the W. S. S.
campaign. Savings which children make
in the War Savings campaign will by
no means equal the amount saved by
adults. The result to the nation, how
ever, in the future can by no means be
minimized when one considers the vast
benefits of which will accrue to our ra-
ton through the habits of thrift and
currents of patriotism which will be es.
tablished by this means III the lives of
school children all over the country.

stop and think whether your country

Most ola people must give to the

suffer from constipation. The condition
Is perfectly natural. 1t is just as nat
ural 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 Cascarets. 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 old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly used
without harm. The only such tonic is
Cascarets and they cost only ten cents
