Most old people must give to

they suffer from constipation.
The condition is perfectly natural.
It is just as natural as 1t 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 Cas-
carets. One might as we'll 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 80 much as at
fifty.
Age Is not a 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

that can be constantly used with

BY MILTON BRONNER

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March
1S.-Ships are the bridge over
which every American soldier,
American rifle, American air
plane, American tank and Ameri-
can gun must pass to France.
+ They are the bridge over which
every pound of food for our
armies and our allies must pass.
And the German submarines
are blasting away at the piers
and spans and arches Of that
bridge. They are destroying fast
err than we and the allies are re-
placing. They sank over 6,00O,-
900 tons of precious vessels last
year and only part Of this was re-
placed.
This year-IF THE GER
MANS DO NOT INCREASE
THEIR RATE OF DESTRUC-
TION-they will probably
still exceed requirements.
America will build more
ships than she ever did be-
fore, and England will do
her best, but that will not he
enough. Ship cargoes will
have to be saved somehow,
anyhow.
One result is that America will
have to curtail its production OF
war material because 1t can't get
the stuff across the ocean as
rapidly as 1t is turned out.
These conditions not only &C
centuate the worlds lack OF ship
ping, but show that tho Europe is
filled with battle fields, the real
places where the war Is to be won
or lost are the 122 American
yards, where q worlds record in
shipbuilding must be made.

J riveter, is more important than

NTE SAM HAS MEN, MONEY! FOOD CAN HE GET THEM ACROSS?
Bridging Atlantic
Wars Big Problem,

Barber told me the president
was a frequent visitor to the Of
flee. He is keen about the ship
ping situation. And that Is hope
full for this country. because
wherever the president goes to
make inquiries. the men with the
work in hand go stepping on their
toes and at high speed. It's the
Wilson way of doing business.
It's Disappointing.
Well, once more, what about
ships?
The plain truth Is that
first survey Of the situation is
disappointing. We have been
at war IL months and the
total production of ships for
the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton is as follows:
Two contract steel ships of
$500 lightweight tons each
total 1900 tons.
Seventy-twO steel ships,
which had been started for
private purchasers, were re-
Questioned and completed for
the shipping board-total
about 485, 900 tons.
The sum total of new ships is
only slightly in excess Of half a
million.
But the shipping board-the
organization that runs the ships
after they are built-is operating
more than this. 1t repaired and
put into service for our army %
seized German and Austrian ships
with a total of 1855 tons.
1t also repaired and put into
service for the army, but operated
by the navy. IS seized German and
Austrian ships with a total OF
215,S42 tons.
In the way of requisitioned
ships, 131 have been launched, of
which, as already stated, 70 are
complete and In operation, and ~
keels have been laid for other
requisitioned ships.
OF the new contract ships, in
addition to the two completed, 5
hdNC pCCh iduhCuCu uuu hCClo
have been laid for 283 more.
At the outbreak OF the war
Great Britain was the greatest
maritime nation in the world,
with 20 million tons of ships. 1t
will surprise most people to know
that we were second, with $780,
900 gross tonnage.
But while we were great users
of ships. we were not great build
ers.
Great Britain normally built
100000 tons, and this dropped,
under stress of war, to as low as
$4,000 in 1916. Then England
suddenly woke up to the sub
marine danger. This year the
greatest shipbuilding nation in
the world hopes to turn out
$4,000 tons per month. The
largest we built in normal times
was $4,000 tons per year. For
the year ending July 1 last, we
built about 100000 tons.
Enormous Program.

stress of civilizations great need

Here is his answer to a straight
