The simpler the remedy for

ter for the general health OF

it is equally effective at all

it especially ideal.

WHEN a man is in the S3rd
w year of his age, as | am,
there are certain things he has
learned that only time can
teach him. The basis OF treat
ing sickness has not changed
since / left Medical College in
1875, nor since ] placed on the
market the laxative prescrip-
ton had used in my practice,
known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment OF con-
stipation, biliousness, head
aches, mental depression,
indigestion, sour stomach and
other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely
by means OF simple vegetable
Iaxatives, herbs and roots.
These are still the basis OF my
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which is a combination OF
Egyptian SIENNA and otherm mild
laxative herbs with pepsin.
Recently new medicines
have been brought out for
constipation that contain cal
omel, which is mercury, salts
OF various kinds, minerals, and
coal tar. These are all drastic

men 20 the same. have been doing Il
for vars and are doing it more and
more Zach year. But, he adds, men
are etter makeup artists and their
dollirg up is seldom detected.
Not only does this man make this
confession freely, and indeed with
traces of pride. if not actual boasting,
but he believes It the duty of both
men and women to improve their looks
when possible with beauty enhancing
devices, and the girl he marries must
be more broad-minded than his moth
er, who believes no girl has any ex-
cuse for using paint and powder, or
for touching up her hair and eyebrows.
Perhaps the man is only fooling. but
II these things be so, the increased
election expenses caused by allowing
women to vote will seem as nothing
compared to the increased expense of
identifying humanity when men fol-
low the lead of women. A committee
should be appointed to inVss4igate this
statement and, if 1t is found true,
movement for the conservation of cos
metics will be In order.-Pittsburgh

AirpIane Compass.

An entirely new kind of compass
for use on airplanes, is the invention
of a German named Bamberg. 1t de.
ponds for its operation upon the cleo
trical resistance of selenium, which

The bowl of the compass contains
two electric bulbs, directly opposite

through a lens whereby the rays are
concentrated upon two selenium cells
mounted on bridge extending across
the top of the bowl.
The compass may be mounted on the
tail Of the airplane, so as 70 be at a

Leather From Rabbit Skins.

According to American Consul Nor
ton of Sydney, Australia, a secret
process, said to be unknown hitherto
TO the tannery trade, has been discov-
cred 81 an Australian for making
leather from rabbit skins and recover
ing the fur as a by-prOduct in felt
making. A company has been formed
In Sydney TO turn this discovery to
practical use, having established
works capable of handling about 1OO.-
600 skins a week. The leather has
already been utilized in Sydney in the
manufacture of boot and shoe uppers,
hand bags, gloves and other articles.
