Most Old People Are Constipated The wear of years impairs the action of the bowels. As people grow older they restrict their activity, neglect to take sufficient exercise, and indulge a natural disposition to take things easy. The digestive organs become more sensitive to the demands made upon them and rebel more quickly. It is of special importance to the health of elderly people that the bowels be kept normally active. A mild, yet effective, remedy for constipation, and one that is especially suited to the needs of old folks, women and children, is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It costs only fifty cents a bottle, and should be in every family medicine chest. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Won a Friend

Foreign Land atrain, as I wantf-'l to get away that vtf-k. V-ll. since I can remembc-r anything I nver received such a "calling down" as the Kommandatore t-: e me. "What do ou mean." he fairly iliowlnl, online iirouiu! botlicrini; me? "That it th way ltli you .mrkan; 3011 think jou r.in run oerythink. oor Ikto. We'll slunv jou you can't, and, before1 we're through with you you will kiKm- how to treat us (Germans. Co hack and wait until jou're sent for, or it will be the uor lor 3 011." I was stunned but what could 1 do? I did not dare resent his words or answer him hack. I only sat then- and cried then went back home. Fortunately, that day I met Capt. T;i usclur. the husband of Mme. Johanna dadski, whom I had known Ix-fore. I was almost frantic by that tiin. as I be :an to be afraid that my passports would be held back altogether. Uut he was most kind to me. He Kot in touch with the for-t-ign office and asked them to hurry up the passports. As a result, Saturday I heard indirectly that I could j'et away the next week. lly the way, ('apt. Tauscher and I had quite a talk ahotit the conspiracy plot for which he was tried and acquitted in the United States and he assured me, with sincerity which I am certain was not feigned, that he knew nothing about it and was really absolutely innocent. I hope fo, for I have very pleasant memories of his kindness. flcminn Kcl Tape. Tuesday, July 10, I received a telegram from the Kommandatore. to tome to his oilice Monday, July 9, to Kt my passports. The telepram had been sent on the 9th, and of course I did not pet it until the 10th. Also. I 4:0t it after the Kommandatcre's oMico had closed, and so I had to wait until Wednesday. I was frightened then, for I was afraid I would have to ffo all through the whole proceeding again and get new passports. Hut I went and showed him the telegram. You can imagine what I got from him. He called me all the r.ames the German language posj fosses for dolt and dunder-head and thick-witted numbskull. And I had to take it. Of course I was crying, lint that made no impression on him. Finally (and I am sure this was because he knew of Capt. Tauscher's interference.) the Kommandatore said, very ungraciously that he would let me have the passports. He said I could have the:n Friday, the lHth. and would have until .Monday, the lfth, to get out of Germany. Then, ugair. I was frantic, for Saturday and Sunday I would not be able to do very much to get away ami there was so much red tape still to be gone through with. Hut I did not protest. Then I had to wait until the permission actually was in my hands to go. This came about S a. tn. Fri day. Fntil I ha 1 this permission, T could not get my money. Friday I J received the telegram that I could j go got my passports. Then I had to so to the otlice where they were and stand in line and wait. The 1 banks closed at 1 and I knew if I did not get my money that day that 1 could not get it Saturday and Sunj day and. maybe, would have to stay lover the time allowed me to Ieae and perhaps be arrested or at the j very least have to start all over (a'ain to ct my passports, j I had to pay the kommandatore ! three marks for stamping1 my passj port. I was nervous with crying j when I went to pay it and my hands ! vhonk when counting the marks out. , The money there of course was paper. I hau nine marks together and I laid down three on the table while 1 folded up the rest to put i back in my purse. The kommandaI t re t!ev at me again. 'Tick them up and hand them to me right." he said. "'How dare you treat a German officer in this way? How dare you throw that money on the table? I'll teach you how you should behave." r.xjxM-t Indemnity From V. S. When the 'kommandatore had stamped my papers as allowing mo to Ifav from Friday to Monday. I hedged and begged him to make it Wednesday the same day I was in his otlice, or Thursday. Hut he 'would not, although it would have j been as easy for him to do that as j not. F.ut they try to humiliate an j American in eery way possible, just i to show their authority. From S m. until noon Friday I stood in j line for my passports then 1 got j them. 1 hurried directly to the I Spanish embassy and received my ; money $oo in American money, j Then I went to the reuchr bank ! to get the money chanced into Ger- ! Pi an money, for in Germany only ! the banks will touch American imor-ry. r;;t this bank would not ! do it. "We do not y:uu American moni e now we'll get enough of It after j the war," he sneered, j They all think, over there, that I when Germany wins, America will ! be compelled to give a stupendous I indemnity. You can hear even the jihiblren tall; of the money they jwill j;.:t from America when AmerI b a is beaten. j They know this country is rich I and. if ever such a terrible thint: should happen as that Germany would beat us. America will be bled white to satisfy the hatred and revengeful spirit of the Germans. I relieve I would want to die if America is beaten In this war. for we simply would not, to use a rommn eXproinn. "have the life of a dog"

here. Germany would make our lives a, hundred times more wretched than It has made evm Belgium. After they had refused to change mv monev at the Deuscher bank. I

wt-nt to the main bank of Berlin, the Kelch bank. Here they changed it and did not treat me so badly. I had to leave my money and :om 1 lack for the other money anc, ns ! that would have been after the bank t was closed for the day, they gave j me a piece of paper which admitted j me to the bank about 4 p. m. I v.ent back at that time and got my j mone3't receiving only live marks on j the dollar. That Is a low rate. In Sweden, an American dollar Is giver, seven marks. Start for Home. They gave me 1,00 marks, and Ffaled the rest of the money so I could not open it until I was beyond the frontier. That seemed another silly thing for them to do but they did it. I paid my rent, bought my tickets and got everything ready to leave the my trunk but of course had to leave it there. Thej- kept It two weeks, going over everything in it, then sent it on to Christiania, Norway. Up to this date I have not received it yet. They had to read every bit of writing in it, look over oil my music and stamp everything, for if, at the frontier, one thing would be found not stamped officially, there w.'ls a likelihood that the whole trunk would be confiscated. My bag was treated the same way everything examined and stamped. I had a couple of fiction books I wanted to read on the way and I had a great deal of trouble getting them out. They were looked over thoroughly, 0 to be sure they did not contain mysterious messages or maps or something like that. Even mv prayer book was stamped. Then I really started. I had to travel second class, in a stuffy little compartment without any comforts, but I did not mind that. I traveled on the train from 6 to 12 a. m. Saturday and then reached the frontier. When I had applied for my passports. I had to give the kommandatore three pictures of inself. Ore ho pasted on the passport, the other two he sent on to the frontier. When T got to Warnemunde, the frontier town, I handed over my passports and was given a slip of paper with a number on it in return. Out of Germany! Then I was taken into a room where a woman stripped and examined me from head to foot. She took down my hair, looked in my shoes, In the waistbands of my clothes and the hems. S'he worked like lightning, but she certainly was thorough. Finally she said I could pass. Then I received my passports and mv bag which had been put through as gruelling an examination ar I had, and I was out of Germany. The very air seemed different on the other side of the border. Then I took the boat to Copenhagen. Denmark, and from there prepared to go to Christiania, Norway, when I would really be on my way home. I spent from Sunday to Monday In Copenhagen and here I met a Capt. Totten, connected with the American military legation in Copenhagen. I met him as I was getting on a train. I was lugging my heavy bag and trying to lift it on the high steps. "Oh, darn!" 1 said. This man smiled and said. "You are an American?" I told him "yes," and he then took charge of my bag and of me and was tremendously nice. I got in Christiania about 4 p. m. Tuesday, July 16. Capt. Totten told me I would have to stay in Christiania six days before I could leave. Once more panic seized me, for a boat was leaving for America in three days and I wanted to get it. But Capt. Totten said he would see what he could do. He communicated with Mr. Caflin, the American consul general at Christiania. another very nice man, and Mr. Cattin after questioning me, said he would see that I got that boat. You see, they are so suspicious there of any person coming from Ger-r.-any. They have had such terrible examples of German spying that they must be careful. A Strange Story. In Norway I heard of the Norwegian captain upon whose boat an English army otticer, a spy, had secreted himself to escape from Germany. He was in terrible danger, but had managed to get to the boat and he would have escaped, had not the captain been a German sympathizer. He found the English otlicer on board and, instead of giving him to England, turned him over to Germany aain. People heard of it and now that otlicer is not permitted to gc into any port. Any time this ship approaches a port, Tir Is warned away. The Germans don't want him. his own people, won't hae him: no neutral will take him in and, unless he gets some place where he is not known he and his crew may starve. It is a weird story so many times and liatde sources that , but I heard it from suci reI believe it is true. This happened just a little while after the German courier had been found on a Norwegian boat with his suitcase full of bombs and after the bombs had been found among' the coal on a Norwegian steamer. One thing, if Germany hates us and England she surely is cordially hated in return by any country over there which has had anything to do with her. It seems a terrible thing that 1 whole people, living peacefully and contentedly, a people really good at heart, industrious and thrifty, should be made an object of hate everywhere because of the actions of a few people ruling over that people. Somehow, with it all. I feel sorry for Germany. (Continued Tomorrow in The NewsTimes.) LO-TL'S LIXAMENT, For Lame Back. Aches & Pains of all kinds. 10c. -lie and 30c Bottles at-COON-LEY'S. Adv.
