MOST OLD PEOPLE
 ARE CONSTIPATED

The wear of years impairs the action of the bowels. As people grow older they restrict their ac- tivity, 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. CaldwelI's Syrup Pep sin. It costs only fifty cents a bot tic, ond should be in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

PLAZA

Krayona & Company in a spectacu- lar novelty which they termed, "Our Navy in Action," opened the bill at the Plaza yesterday. It consisted of lightning illustrating and novel cleo trical manoeuvers.
 Ffske, Scott and Harrison were next on the bill in their laughable offering entitled "Paddy's Pension" and they scored an easy victory.
 Then came Gardner and Hartman with their Vaudeville vagaries' and put over the big punch. They're a scream and their material is treat.
 Emmett Welch and his nine min strel lads had the headline spot and they made the most of it. MT. Welch deserves much credit for the manner in which he staged and costumed his offering and the individuals in the cast have goodly share of credit due them for the splendid way they put over their songs, gags and dances.
 Those who were at the theatre yes- terday to see Mitchell Lewis in '"The Sign Invisible" are undoubtedly do- | ing lot of "boosting'' for the picture | today. It is a story of the North land with practically the same cast as ''The Barrier and it was directed by 1 Edgar Lewis, personally. The story or the regeneration of a surgeon who has lost his faith in God because of an unsuccessful operation he has per formed upon his mother, is most con- polling and the many big scenes n | the play not the least of which is the | fight between Victor Sutherland and Mitchell Lewis, keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the showing of the picture.
 A two reel comedy of the Key stone type completes the program.

He was charged with instigat- ing an offense against the state of siege law.
 During the labor outbreaks in Ger many month ago martial law was declared in severl larger cities, in cluding Bremen. It Is probable that the proposed prosecution of Deputy Henke was in connection with the i state of martial law in Bremen. Dep ] uty Dittmann was convicted for aiding in the strike troubles in Berlin.

cellor, discussing reforms in an in
teview, is quoted by the Vossische
Zeitung, of Berlin, as saying:
"God be praised for a real, peace
full revolution. The old regime is
gone for good. ! am firmly con-
vinced that a new German democracy
soon will be living at peace with our
present opponents, in order to be
able to complete the task Of remod-

The chancellor declared also that
if in the future the reichstag should
pass a vote of confidence in him, he
would be obliged to resign.
With reforms in the federal states,
he said, it was unthinkable that the
federal council should ever receive
instructions which would bring it into
conflict with decisions by the reich
stag.
