Here’s A Gentle Laxative Far Elderly PeopL A daily free movement of the bowels becomes a serious problem as you step from middle-life into old age, and much dependence can no %>nger be placed on nature herself. The bowels find artificial aid necessary. The stronger the physic, as old people soon learn; the greater the contraction of the bowels thereafter, and so the wise purposely avoid salt waters, pills and other harsh pur gatives. Many have learned to place absolute reliance on the gentle but positive action of a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. C It produces an agreeable movement as nearly natural and free as high pharmaceutical skill can make it. Thousands use it regularly, in the small dose prescribed, and keep them selves in fine health and good cheer, and entirely free from constipation. .. 4 The druggist will refund your money if it fails • to do as promised. PRICE AS ALWAYS In spite of greatly increased laboratory costs due to the War, by sacrificing profits and absorbing war taxes we have main tained the price at which this family lax ative has been sold by druggists for the past 26 years. Two sizes— 50c and $1.00. Dr, Caldwell's OYRUP The Perfect P XL EPSIN Laxative FREE SAMPLES—If you have never used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin send for a free trial bottle to Dr. W. B.

Mr. j*Davis stated that he would be one of iYen men to subscribe five hundred dollars toward a public library. The mefi ing took no action but this’ wiT. undoubtedly come iater and will be one of the first projects to taken up by the reorganized Chamber of Com merce. Dr. H. T. Graham, who (also discussed the library question, urged strongly that something be done once. There could he no better mem- prial, he said, than a public library. How the library was to be built, said Dr. Grahnm, was a matter that must be determined by v/hatever commt':- tee was placed in charge of the pro ject.
