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. It is a

The Cup That

With the usual hot table drink, whether it be

Instant Postum

The rich, mellow flavour of Instant Postum
closely resembles that of mild Java coffee, and its ab

Instant Postum is quickly prepared at table, a

then stir and add cream and sugar to taste. No waste.

Snyder Assails
Absent Officials
Senator Charles A. 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.

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. Mr. Mil
ler asked for the use of the ground
for a period of at least ten years. He
considers S."O a year sufficient rental
for the privilege.
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.
