It then becomes their daily task to avoid what they know to be ehronis constipation. When exercise and light diet fail it will be necessary to resort to artificial means. Strong physics and cathartics, however, are not ad visable for elderly people. They act too powerfully and a feeling of weakness results. What is needed is a laxative con taining effective but mild properties. This is best found in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which is a combina tion of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. It acts gently and without griping, and used a few days will train the digestive organs to do their work naturally again without other aid. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been on the market since 1592 and was the private formula of Dr. W. B. Caldwell, who is himself past 80 years of age and still active in liis profession. It can be bought at any drug store for 50c and $1 a bottle, the latter containing enough Um. & Cu.

History of Pennsylvania's- Four Constitutions [Continued from First Page.] I deus Stevens, great lawyer, great j commoner, great American, great . champion of liberty, undisputed ; leader of the Lower House of Con- I gross throughout the stormy period iof the Civil War, who declined to | sign the Constitution which he had j helped to frame, because it con i tallied a tacit recognition of slav | ery. Enacted in 1873 i "The fourth Constitution, that of i 1573, was largely the result of a I public demand to correct the great ! evil of special legislation. It Avas j drafted and adopted to meet the new I conditions and problems which had | arisen with the great growth of the I state and its marvelous development I coincident with and following the I war. Its first president, William M. j Meredith, died while serving in that i capacity. He was succeeded by i John M. Walker. It comprised in its I membership the state's strongest j men of that time. Among its dele | gates sat Lin Bartholomew, silver tongued, from Schuylkill; Jeremiah S. Black, Attorney General of the United States, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, marked in Pennsylvania's and the nation's annals for all time; John M. Broomall, mentally gifted beyond most men, and member of Congress from the Chester-Delaware district throughout the Civil War; Charles It. Buckalew, profound lawyer, I master of public questions; John C. : Bullitt, framer of Philadelphia's j City Charter, under which that i great municipality was governed for I more than thirty years; Lewis C. Cassidy, subsequently Attorney Gen eral of Pennsylvania; Silas M. Clark, j great judge, one of the ablest men | who nas sat on the bench of the Su- I preme Court of Pennsylvania; An- I drew Gregg Curtin, Pennsylvania's 1 War Governor, Minister to Russia, and member of Congress, whose fame will endure; Theodore Cuyler, one of the leaders of the Philadel phia bar, whose son sits as a mem ber of this commission: Samuel E. Dimmock, Attorney General of Penn sylvania; Mortimer F. Elliott, still living, legal pilot for America's great est business enterprise, the Standard Oil Company; Henry Green, Chief Justice of tl)e Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; Wayne MacVeagh, with intellect like a rapier. Attorney General of the United States, for eign minister, accomplished and cul tured gentleman; Henry W. Palmer, subsequently Attorney General of Pennsylvania and Congressman of the United States; Samuel A. Pur viance, also Attorney General of Pennsylvania; John Stewart, of bril liant intellect, to-day still in full vigor, a justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; Harry White, offi cer of the Northern Armies, pris oner in Libby, judge of Indiana county, yet apparently in his prime at almost ninety; George W. Wood ward, judge of the Common Pleas of Luzerne, Chief Justice of the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania, famed far and wide. Many Tried Features "These men and the other lead ers in their several communities who made up this notable Convention;' framed the document which we are HARRTSBURG TELEGRAPH called upon to study and revise. "One of the striking things which will be made manifest to any stu dent of our Commonwealth's consti tutional history is the great number of provisions in the present Consti tution which have been carried for ward into it in the precise language of the Constitutions of 1776 and 1790, going to show thut the wise men who formulated those two codes of fundamental law clearly apprehended and understood what the real foundations of government are. "The declaration of rights in the Constitution of 1873 is the same charter of human liberty almost word for word and section for sec tion as it appears in the Constitution of 1776, and therefore, almost as it was in its original form when it sprang from the mind of John Som ers, famous chancellor of William and Mary, when he stated the rights of free men In England in combat ting the tyrrany of an arbitrary and oppressive king. "I think none of us entertain the thought to-day when the world is troubled and ill at ease and when our country is being looked to by all the rest of the world to steady it, that wise provisions in our or ganic laws are to be set aside, be cause they are time-honored, but on the contrary, those which great exigencies and trying times have demonstrated to be wise and just, beneficent and all comprehensive, are to be held onto with a firmer grip. To Study Changes "As I construe the legislative mandate in the act creating our commission, we are not to be icono clasts in working out the problems which are submitted to us, but in the light of the garnered wisdom of the ages and of modern reasoned thought and of our own and other states' experiences; with the new conditions which are the outgrowth of the past fifty years of marvelous progress and attainments of our people before us, we are to study comprehensively and in detail the provisions of our present Constitu tion with a view to the necessity or advisability of changing or omit ting any of its provisions which will improve it so as to secure for our people a form of government best suited to their needs and most con ducive to their welfare. "If we shall find changes in the Constitution advisable we are to de termine the best means of effect ing such changes, whether by the amendment of particular sections or nrticles, or by a general revision of the entire Constitution. "The direction of the act is that we are to report to the next Gen eral Assembly, in detail, such recom mendations as to the continuance, discontinuance or modification of existing provisions or the adoption of new provisions as we, from our investigation and study shall deem advisable and proper. It will be our duty to make drafts of any pro posed amendments, or, if it is deem ed advisable, we may draft a gen eral revision ;of the entire Constitu tion. Exhaustive Study "Thus it will be.seen that our mission is to examine the founda tions of our State Government to ! see whether they are sound and se cure for the coming years of trial, and where in our opinion they can be strengthened to put in new rocks of strength. "It seems to me that no call' for higher public service can come to free men and women in a republic than this. "The task before us calls for ex haustive study, unremitting work, Datient hearing of every view pre sented. tolerance of each other's opinions, the wisest judgment and absolute fearlessness in arriving at the conclusions which we deem to be right. "If our task is well performed, we and the agencies which shall fol low after us, and the people in put ting their final approval on what shall have its beginnings here to day, will be doing not only Pennsyl vania, but constitutional govern ment everywhere, a forward-looking service." Kinney Shoe Company Leases Market St. Store I The G. R.

Help Relieve Yourself of Gas.,Etc.,by Eating Physician tells how —If three meals a day distresses you, take five meals a day to get rid of your troubles. The "Food Treatment" for dyspeptics of ten gives most surprising results in a few days' time. The real and true relief fir most stomach troubles must be found in the proper chem ical combinations of foods, the ouantity eaten and the methods of eating, and n-ot in strong drugs nor starvation diets—which diets often only further weaken the stom ach and impair the digestion by weakening the whole system on account of depriving it of proper nutrition. Most people foolishly seem to pay but little attention to excess acid sns and food fermentation until it gets quite bad then they usually take some drug merely to neutralize the acid and give temporary re lief. but they do not reach the cause. The victim continues to suffer on # frequent occa sions until the disease finally becomes chronic. The walls of the stomach and in testines become highly inflamed and what was first a simple irritation now develops into gastric catarrh and finally, perhaps, into a stomach ulcer. A highly inflamed, irri table stomach is a good deal like a sore on your finger, if you keep rubbing and Irrita ting it, it may never get well. Every time your food ferments and excess acid and gas forms, it only further irritates your already weak, sag® and irritated stomach walls. To bring about relief you must avoid food fermentation and the consequent con stant irritation it produces. It is often not so much what you eat that does damage as it is wrong chemical combinations of food. For example: The following would be a very bad breakfast from the standpoint of correct food combinations. Grapefruit or sour oranges, with sugar, Oatincal, or other cereal, with milk, White bread, eggs and coffee. , The fruit acid tends to ferment the sugar and the milk; the coffee may cause an ex cess of acid and these two may start fermen tation in the starch of the bread and oatmeal or cereal. Then the fat in the yolk of the eggs becomes a burden and things may gen erally go all wrong.

If you have not made a careful study of the suffering that may be caused by bad food combinations, and how they may not only upset your digestion but undermine your nervous system and weaken your whole physical organization, you ought to read the interesting folder on this important subject which has been issued by the manufacturers of Pan-Zenn, which is a valuable anti-acid carminative and stimulant to the stomach and digestive tract. Pan-Zenn used in con nection with proper food combinations is intended to prevent the formation of excess acid and gas, strengthens the stomach and increase the digestive power and thereby get it into such a condition that it will properly digest food without artificial assistance. Then you do not have to be so particular about correct food combinations. Once your stom ach gets well you can mix most anything together and it will digest. Pan-Zenn also may be taken where quick relief is desired which it produces usually in from ten to fifteen minutes' time. Pan-Zenn is not a secret remedy but a high class ethical prod uct. The composition of its formula is or* every package so you can ask your own doctor or druggist about it If you so desire. A copy of the folder on advice on correct principles of food combinations is contained in each package of Pan-Zenn. Be sure to examine the first package that you purchase and see that it contains this folder, as this information is highly im portant to every stomach sufferer.
