Splendid Laxative For Elderly People Has Been Prescribed by Well Known Physician For Many Years. The infirmities of age are especially manifest in a tendency to constipation, and call for treatment that will afford relief in an easy, natural manner. The rapid action of cathartic remedies and purgatives that shock the system should be avoided, more especially as the relief they offer is only temporary and is usually more than offset by disturbance to the vital organs caused by their violent action. Nearly thirty years ago Dr. W. B. Caldwell. Monticello, 111., prescribed a compound of simple laxative herbs that has since become the standard household remedy in thousands of homes. It acts easily and gently, .yet with positive effect, without griping or other pain or discomfort. Mrs. Rachel Allen, Galesburg. Kan., is seventy-one years old, and after using a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, wrote that it had done her a world of good and that she intends to keep it in the house always. Druggists sell Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle.

Snyder, candi date for Auditor General, speaking in Philadelphia last night, attacked de partment heads for being in politics. "The statement has been made," the Senator said, "that my candidacy fyas been injected into this fight because it will further the interests of a certain faction. This is untrue. As long ago as last August 1 announced that I would be a candidate for the nomina tion for Auditor General. If my can didacy finds favor with Senator Pen rose. Senator McNichol and other leaders, this backing has certainly fol lowed my announcement. I have no bosses." Senator Snyder then told the voters that he had pledged his support for a short session for the next Legislature in the blief that'the best interests of the State demanded it. "With no funds in thetreasury," he said, "we want no comprehensive program of legislation. We have no money to sparo to try outtheories that other States have tried and discarded. We have scarcely money enough to pay necessary expenses and we have none to spare even to enforce all the laws on the statute books." Reverting to the Brumbaugh ad ministration, Senator Snyder rapped absentee officeholders in the State de partments and declared the practice of State department heads touring the State in their own personal interests had become a scandal. Asks Permission to Build Bathing Pool on the City Island City Council was asked to-day by Harvey .1. Miller, a cigar manufacturer, to lease a small section of the island north of the Walnut street bridge for a bathing; pool concession.

GOVERNOR URGES LOCAL OPTION LAW Makes Strong Speech in lis Be half in Crawford and in Erie Counties Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh made local option speeches principal ly In his tour of Crawford and Erie counties yestedya and last night, leav ing to W. 1). B. Ainey, chairman of the Public Service Commission, and Ex-Deputy Attorney General F\ W. Fleitzz, of Scranton, his political speech making. The governor was well received in what has been con sidered territory indifferent to his can didacy and members of his speaking party undertook to rap those oppos ing the governor with severity. Speaking at Erie at the close of the day, the governor said: "Our menace is not front within." he said, "for we are a peaceable peo ple. We need forts and great guns and armies and navies for a menace from without. And we should by a protective tariff make that outside menace bear the freight for our se curity against war. "We must have a reunited Repub lican party to do these groat things for the safety of the nation But we cannot be united under the leader ship that lead us to defeat in 1912. "1 want you men to think before you vote next Tuesday," he concluded. "Decide if it Isn't wise for you to send to Chicago men untrambled and free, who will not follow special interests or the selfish commands of so-called leaders." Mr. Ainey called the fitight against Penroseism a "finish tight." And the governor, speaking after them cli maxed their by saying: "I feel that it is a fair and reason able obligation to you that 1 make this fight. And 1 so believe in it. that I am willing to stay in this struggle for a party that will serve your will until Pennsylvania stands forth as clean and as fair a commonwealth as there Is in the world." Mr. Fleitz, who has organized nine counties in northeastern Pennsyl vania for Governor Brumbaugh after severing his connection with the Penrose crowd, said: "Any man that thinks this a temporary gust that will blow over tomorrow is under delusion. We must have a reunited party and a higher standard of Republicanism. We need a housecleaning from top to bot tom, and I, for one. am enlisted to take my part in this job until it is finished. "We don't want a leadership in Pennsylvania that Is based on an al liance of special interests. It is not one that 1 will follow. This is not a factional fight; it is a fight to see if a decent, fair-playing, honest Republi can party cannot be brought about in Pennsylvania under the leadership of a man yho typifies that sort of leader ship. Martin G. Brumbaugh." Mr. Ainey was just as clear in his statement of the permanency of this fight. "The Republican party still has a destiny, but it has been hampered, and hindered. But such a fight as is now being made is the kind that will clear it of this hindrance and allow it to fulfill that destiny. The men who are opposing his fight to reunite this party are the men whq fought his program of social legislation, the same men who were responsible for the dis aster at Chicago in 1912." Ai Meadville Mayor John E. Rey nolds. former Congressman Arthur E. Bates, and W. W. Kincaid, a big man ufacturer, who is a candidate for Con gress on the Republican and Wash ington tickets, joined the party. John A. Bolard, candidate for the legislature from Crawford county, was with the governor during the after noon. 1 At .Cambridge Springs former Dep uty Attorney General Frederic W. Fleitzz, of Scranton, and former Con gressman Milton W. Shreve, who is in ! charge of the governor's campaign for a reunited party in Erie county; F. S. Phelps, editor of the. Erie Times, and Arthur Mitchell, of Erie, an ex-assem iblyman. joined the party. / \ Late Local and County News For Hasty Reading | —The question of the validity of H verbal agreement between C.
