An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of IS or 80, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its func-
lions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement Of the bowels.-Adv

Cleanup Week" Stirs
the Commonwealth

The Acting Commissioner Of the
State Department of Health in a sin
gle mail this morning received
twenty-five letters from as many
different sections OF the common
wealth announcing enthusiastic CO.
operation in plans for Cleanup
Week. May 6 to II. Large manu-
featuring concerns, railway man
ayers and boards of health are join
ing in the movement. Clean up,
Clean up! Clean up! is to be the
slogan.
The American Civic Association
through its president, ]. Horace Nc
Farland, has suggested many COM
munities might well combine with
their cleanup program a salvage
program and that the earnings from
the salvage be devoted to the Red
Cross or other war charity. Tin foil,
brass, lead. copper, iron. old rubber
shoes and boots. automobile tires
and inner tubes. discarded newspa-
pers and magazines, bottles, cold
cream jars and in some communities
burlap and gunny sacking, white
rags and separated mixed rags are
the things most likely to be found.
During Cleanup Week" thousands
of dollars worth of material may be
salvaged and made to serve public
organizations organized for our boys
who are lighting in France.

He declared that before consid-
ering political reasons the German
leaders ought to think of protecting
the soldiers lives. The imperial gov

ately and it is declared nearly the
entire force of six thousand rebels
was slain by the white guards.

Ypres is yet to be attacked
directly from the east, but from the
intensity of the enemy assaults south
and southwest it is evident the Ger

positions west of Mont KENNEL. To

menace the entire allied position in
Flanders and eastward toward Dun
kirk but would virtually compel the
evacuation of Ypres.

TeutOns Get But Little
Wheat Out of Russia

Washington.-Failure of the wheat
crop in European Russia this year is
forecast in reports on food conditions
there which have reached Washing
ten.
The planting of this years crop
was limited to a small acreage. as
compared with previous years. Be-
cause of unsettled conditions and the
risk of contiscation the peasants
have declined to plant grain in nor
NAL quantities, or even in sufficient
amounts in many instances to meet
their own needs.
Both the German and Austrian
armies have met with disappoint-
ment in efforts to find wheat in guam
ties in Russia. Such portions of the
crop of last year as still remained
were buried by the peasants before
the coming of the armies of occupa-
ton.
Austrian government officials said
recently that only thirty cars Of
wheat had been brought into the
dual monarchy from Russia.
