Stomach Muscles in Old Age People should be more and more careful, as age advances, to see that their bowels move regularly. In this way they can keep themselves in good health ana prolong life. The bowels are not as active in middle-life and old age as they are in youth, and with the majority there is a tendency to constipation of a chronic and obstinate nature. To ward off the possibility of serious diseases use Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound. It U especially suited to the use of elderly people because It is prompt but gentle In action, and does its work without griping or weakening, aa la the cose with salts, purgative waters and cathartic tablets. Theao should not be used by children, women, old folks or weak people because they are too violent In action and generally gripe. Furthermore, the result* are temporary as reaction sets in and the bowels are bound up more than ever. A remedy Uke St. OaldweU'a Syrup Pepsin is very gentle In aotlon and yet thoroughly effective, and as It contains tonic properties. It strengthens the system instead of weakening It. The results are permanent because gradual, and many can In a short time do sway with the use of all laxatives. It will cure the most chronic constipation, dyspepsia, liver trouble, biliousness, flatulency, soar stomach, weak stomach, bloating, drowsiness after eating and snoh other stomach, liver end bowel troubles. To prove how effective it Is In serious eases the experience of Mr. Armstrong, of Decatur. HL, can be cited. Be suffered from a gunshot wound during the Civil War which caused a partial paralysis of the bowels and he has had ever •i noe to use a laxative. He says be never found anything so effective, or which worked so near to nature, as Dr. Caldwell’s SyfupPepstn. Try It and yon will say the asms Tbs price Is M cents or Ba boots st any druggist.

LOST SOUTH SEAS CONTINENT.

Australian Professor Seeks Solution of Anient Myste^f. Th® lost continent of thi Sonth seas is a pet study of Dr. Woolnough of Sydney university. The main difficulty In the way of reconciling existing conditions with an original great area was that depths df'2,ooo fathoms occurred between the islands. It was necessary to look for land evidence of faulting or breaking; to account for the submarine depths. The granite area In jViti Leva was found to be from 400 to 600 square miles in extent, underlying the modern volcanic rocks. A range of granite mountains with precipitous cliffs on each side gave evidence of heavy faults creating chasms of great depth. He found the rivers forming a marked- rectangular network, an upraised coral reef 200 feet above the sea level, conglomerate rock showing sea shells at a height of 800 feet above the sea, and certain tilts and tufts which had formerly been submarine and were now at a height of 4,600 feet All these indicated a tremendous uplift sufficient to cause greater faulting in the original continent The rivers of FIJI were of comparatively youthful development and even at present passing through the canon cycle.

REPARTEE OF THE JUVENILES.

Washington Children In Bmart Exchange of Compliments. Evldently a aeverance of friendly relations between two of a group of small girls who a minute before had been romping about the sward in Dupont Circle, for just as the writer approached the daughter of a southern legislator called out to her small companion from the west: “The girl with the red dress on Is a cowgirl! The girl with the red dress on Is a cowgirl!” Again and again the taunting challenge* was hurled at the red-frocked western maid, who finally, with one supreme effort at self-control, retorted: "Oh, very well, then, the girl who Is a-hollerln’ Is a sheep! I’d sooner be a cowgirl than a sheep, ’cause the president Is fond of cowboys and cowgirls, but not even a secretary likes a sheep!”

He Knew How.

"How," asked the young man who had Jußt bought the village paper and desired to win prominence as an editor, “can I get the public to become interested in my Journal? I know the principal thing is to make a good paper, but if nobody takes it how will anyone find out that It is good? Something must be done to attract attentlon —to cause the people to understand that we are on earth.’ “That’ll be easy,” said the traveling printer, who had stopped oyer to assist In putting the patient on its feet. “Just print an item saying that a certain preacher in this town will get into trouble If be doesn’t cease paying attentions to a certain married member of his flock and cease quick. I’ll bet the paper containing that item won’t be off the press 40 minutes before there’s a copy of it in every house in this town.” —Chicago Record Herald.

Fat Men and Jobs.

Employment agents say it’s about as ’ hard to get work for a fat man as fori a gray-haired one. According to their { statements, employers of labor holdi that a fat man is indolent. They assert that tbe hustler, the fast, nervous,. energetic worker, is sinewy rather ’ than fat, and does 30 per cent, more j work than the soft, fat fellow. "It is > not uncommon for us to advise fat ap- 1 pllcants to diet,” said an employment agent, "and reduce their weight before beginning to canvass for a job.” So far as recorded, Dr. Osier has expressed no opinion on the expediency of chloroforming men who are running to adipose tissue.

All Were Prime Ministers.

An eminent surgeon was once sent for by Cardinal Du Bols, prime minister of France, to perform a very serious operation upou him. The cardinal said to him: “You must not expect to treat me in the same rough manner as you treat your poor miserable wretches at your Hotel Dleu.” “My lord,” replied the surgeon, with great dignity, “every one of those miserable wretches, as your eminence Is pleased to call them, is a prime minister in my eyesr.”—Success Magazine. '

Worse and Worse.

A convict in a German prison had been extremely refractory. One means and another had been tried, but nothing could break his spirit One morning the governor said to the warder: “I say, Huber, the scoundrel is behaving worse than ever. Put him on bread and water.” “But be is already doing two fast days, sir.” “Then give him a cookery book to read. We must break his spirit somehow.”—lllustrated Bits.

Simple and Logical.

A teacher observed what he thought a lack of patriotic enthusiasm in one of the boys under his instruction. “Now, Tommy,” said be. “tell ns what you think if you saw the stars and stripes waving over the Held of battle.” *T should think,” was the logical reply of Thomas, "that the wind was blowing.”

Information.

The vlnitor to New Tork waa la search of Information. “Do you know anything about the copper cornerT" he asked bin hoot. “No,” was the reply, “but I know the corner copper."
