Elderly People Paily He Stomach muscles ai slow to act as MOST people find the years slipping by without real izing it, until suddenly confronted with the fact that they can no longer digest everything they would like to eat.

Strong physics and cathartics, however, aro not advisable for elderly people. Thoy act too powerfully and a feeling of weakness results. What is needed is a laxative containing effective but mild Eroperties. This is best found in >r. Caldwell's .

This new agreemont, which iiir volves a wage increase of 27 per cent, becomes effective April 1 and will continuo in force for a period of two years. -Must Not Increase Coal.

T?XAWAY ?AM ?A6B WILL BR Tried Soon-One ol Forty Butte for Damage? from Dani Break. Asheville. N. C., March 31.-The United States Court having failed to make a test case out of Cook vs. ID. H. Jennings because of the failure of the jury to agree on a verdict, the Superior Court of Transylvania county will next undertake a trial, w iv ich all parties Interested hope will result, in a decision by the highest court deciding the responsibility of tho defendant for damages resulting from" the sweeping away of Lake Toxaway dam by the 1916 Hoods. The case, which is one of some forty of the same kind, has been set for trial at Brevard on April 16. The suit is brought by two South Carolina counties to recover from Mr. Jennings $6,000, alleged lo be dam ages' caused by tho sweeping away of the two bridges in South Carolina by the water when the dam broke after tho great quins. Cary & Cary, of Plckens, S. C., and Welch Gallo way, of Brevard, will represent the plaintiff, and 'Merrimon, Adams and Johnston, of Asheville, and Chas. B. Deaver, of Brevard, the defendant. The case is interesting to lawyers because, although there have been cases of dams breaking in tho State, none of them has reached the Su preme-Court, lt is said, and there is no decision to guide the Superior Courts in deciding to what extent the owner of a dam is responsible when it breaks and causes damage to other property. If the owner em ploys the best engineers and builds a- massive structure, sparing nothing to make it safe, ts he hold responsi ble If lt is swept away by a cloud burst, or earthquake, or some such cause? It is said to be agreed that the owner would be Hablo if ho built a flmsy'dam. The people of tho Brevard and Toxaway sections ore much Interested In the case to bo tried because tho rebuilding of tho Toxaway dam ls dependent on the outcome of those damage suits. And sections which are interested in the development of water powers are also watching these cases because, if the courts decide that the owner of a dam is responsi ble for damages tb tt may take placo by reason of tho dam breaking un der any and all circumstances, they will take second thought before be ginning construction, since there ts always the possibility of a cloud burst, and while an earthquake ls not likely to como this way, still, lt is pointed out, there ls no guarantee that it will not.
