Healthy old ago Is so absolutely de pendent upon tho condition of the bow els that great care should bo taken to see that they act regularly. Tho fact Is that as ago advances tho stomach muscles becomo weak and Inactlvo and tho liver dosu not store up tho juices that aro necessary to prompt digestion. Borne help can be obtained by eating easily digested foods and by plenty of exercise, but this latter Is Irksome to most elderly people. Ono thing Is cer tain, that a stato of constipation should always bo avoided, as it Is dangerous to llfo and health. The best plan Is to tako a mild laxative as often as Is deemed necessary. But with equal cer tainty It is suggested that cathartics, purgatives, physics, salts and pills bo avoided, as they do but temporary good and aro so harsh as to bo a shock to a delicate system. A much better plan and ono that thousands of elderly people are follow ing, Is to tako a gcntlo laxatlvc-tnnic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which acts as nearly like nature as Is possible. In fact, tho tendency of this remedy Is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to act natu rally again, when medicines of nil kinds can usually bo dispensed with.

"Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee.

FOUND MISS WILDFIRE By CLARISSA MACKIE. Frank Churchill had had tho brief est gllinpao of her, but her faco haunt ed him for months afterwards. Aa agent for an eastern land company ho had stop'ped for a night at her father's ranch In Montana. Tho girl had ap peared shyly lu tho living room of tho house and her father, had caught her sunbrowned llttlo hand and drawn her affectionately to him. "Como Bess, I wnnt you to moot tho man from New York who watits to build sky scrapers on tho side of Money Mountain." Boas Delorme had laughed merrily and placed her hand for an Instant In Churchill's; with a few words of encouragement concerning his venture Bess hud slipped away and ho had never seen her again. But her faco haunted him always with Its charm of sweet expression and tho pretty curvo of cheek and chin. The thick dnrk lashes that shaded her soft black eyes, and tho curling tendrils of her jetty hair, wero set In Ills memory like a painted pic ture. The next year lm returned to find her parents dead and tho motherless homo broken up. Bess Dclormo had gone further west, someono Bald to rel atives In California. No one knew definitely So Churchill nursed his aocrct love and looked always for tho face of the girl he lint! Been but onco. Ho became a traveling sulesumn and his business took him over much western territory. In every town or city ho visited his first inquiry was for someono by tho namo of Dclormo, but so far ho had never found trace of her. It was a cool sweet, night such as California, knows often, and Churchill lingered on the steps of his Ixs An geles hotel wondering how to spend the evening hours before bedtime. He lighted n cigar and wandered down the street until ho came to an open air moving picture thenter. Ho puuBcn before tho gay posters outsldo tho entrance, studying tin pictures of the western piny "Miss Wildfire" Suddenly he bought a tlckot and went Inside. Ho sat patiently through several reels until finally there was flashed on the white screen the title of the next .play: "Miss Wildfire, a story of love and hate on tho plains." Churchill settled back In his seat. It would bo something to look on tho familiar country where Bess Delorme lived. At tho very first scene his interest was aroused. Surely there was tho DelornTd ranch house, and the girl dressed In corduroy skirt and flannel shirt with broad brimmed hat on her dark curls was Bess Delormo herself. The play proceeded; cowboys rode madly hither and thither; rival lovers appeared for the hand of tho rancher's daughter; the rancher was a man who was strange to Churchill and Bess was the only familiar faco among the characters. The characters camo and went, mado love, disagreed, hated each other, fought and died and Frank Churchill saw only one faco through it all. When tho play was over he went dizzily around to tho offlcs of tho man ager and nsked questions. "MIsb Wlldflre why that 'part la taken by Lillian Delorme, one of the most popular players; let roe aee, that's u Goodenuf film. MIsb Delorme is one of tho Ooodenuf players, you know. Sorry, that's all I knoT about It. Write to the film company in San Francisco, they'll give you her ad dress." Churchill thanked him and went away only to return and view the "Miss Wildfire" film again. When the doors were closed for the night he went to his hotel and studied the telephone directory. The Goodenuf Film company could not bo expected to be doing business at midnight, therefore his long dis tance call to San Francisco waa un answered. He went to bed atlrred by a thousand hopes and fears. "It must be that I'm going to meet her again somewhere or I wouldn't have chanced on that film tonight when "my thoughts are full of her," be told himself time and again during the ileepless night. At nine o'clock the next morning be got the Goodenuf Film company by telephone and to his chagrin learned lhat Miss Delorme had left the com pany the week beforo and gone east Her destination? Oh, New York, I lupposo, they all go there," sighed hlB Informant as the Interview was closet. "East" waa Indefinite New York was a clew that Churchill clung to ks he finished his business in Los Angeles and prepared to leave for Chicago on his homeward trip. And everywhere be went he kept his eyes wide open for some glimpse of bis love and whenever be was in the vicinity of a moving picture show he dropped in hoping to aee Mis Wild fire once more. Again and again be raw tho play In different cities until ho knew it by heart He grew In tensely jealous of the big cowboy hero of the play who made such romantic lore to the charming little western llrl and he would have slain the vil lain slnglehanded every night If he had been flesh and blood. At last he reached New York and reported to tho BaloB manager. Mr. Robinson was very busy that morning and ho sent word out' to Churchill to wait a couplo of hours for him. "I'll borrow a stenographer then and dictate a few letters," decided Churchill and he apoke to tho chlof clerk. Five minutes afterwards be waa seated In a small office his feet elevated to- table and bU mind busy over the correspondence that had accumulated during his nbaeucn. Someono opened tho door behind him and (dipped Into a chair. Ho turned his bond slightly, saw n dark, curly head tho outline of a white clad shoulder, and arm and a slim brown hand poising a pencil over n fresh notebook. Churchill's feet camo down from tho tablo nnd his hat flow Into a corner. "Good morning," ho said crUply. "Are you ready?" "Yes," was tho low-toned reply. "Plenso tako this letter: Tho Goodenuf Film Company, San Fran cisco, California. Gentelmen: Refer ring to my several Inquiries concern ing tho whereabouts of Mies Mlllan Delormn until recently a member of your company of players, may I not Impose upon your courtesy a llttlo further nud ask you to Institute nomo inquiry, In whatever direction' you may doom advisable, concerning tho desti nation of MIrs Delorme when sho left San Francisco. I am very anxious to find her present whereabouts and" "Oh, exciics mo!" cried tho Btcno graphcr breathlessly. "Going too fiiBt for you?" ho iiBkcd kindly. "No hut, please, Mr. Churchill!" He whirled mound In his chair and stared with unbelieving eyes Into the blushing stnt tied faco of Miss Wild llro hurBclf. He sat there with parted lips for an absurdly long time hut It was rather disconcerting to search tho west for a trace of Hess Dclormo and como hack to tho east to find her prosaically established lu his firm's business olllcol It took Frank Churchill two hours to explain to llcsslo Dclormo why ho wnnted to see her nnd to hear from hor lips Hint sho had decided not to bo an actress after all and that sho had taken her dying father's advice and gono enst to seek work In New York; her only nld had been ono of Churchill's business cnrdB found among her father's effects. "Well. Churchill," said his sales mauager when at last ho interviewed tho traveling man. "You enn put mourning hand on your alcove I'm going to cliuugo your territory." "Not New Knglnnd?" nsked Church delightedly. "Yes. 1 thought you'd kick a lot over It you-vo been so keen for tho west. "I was looking for something out there but I'vo found It now. I say Mr. Robinson, fix It up so I can havo a month off In Octobor, will you?" "Not getting married?" naked the other. "PerhapB," returned Churchill guard edly, but In his heart ho knew that Miss Wlldflre and he had not croBsod tho continent in search of each other in vain. "Then I'll see that you got a pass over tho lino to Niagara Falls," grinned his chief. (Copyright, 1913, by tho McClure News paper Syndicate.) SNAKES THAT REALLY WALK 8clentlata Assert They Have Method of Locomotion of Which Few Are Aware. Apropos of tho recent discovery in Africa of tho Gigantosaurus Afrlcanui It Is Interesting to note tho many facts which point to the conclusion that snakes swam before thoy took to land It Is not Impossible that tho traces ol former snake locomotion which ara found In tho python and other snakes aro the remains of former fins. It is said that when tho reptiles camo to land and learned to burrow In tbo Band they lost these. There la ono explanation of the ru dimentary foot of modern times In the snake world, and that Is In the re mains of the flying dragon. When the drngona ceased to fly and came to earth It is said that somo of them sur vived as snakes and that the remains of their feet and wings survive in the species that tempted Adam and Eve. The usual method of walking in the snake tribe is peculiar and Is more like walking In a bag. A snake walks; he does not crawl, as the average layman Imagines. Snakes walk on their ribs. The old Germans or Teutons used to have a warlike custom of proclaiming their kings. The sturdy warriors would lock their brazen shields togeth er lifted high above their heads, on which the future king was elevated. The snake's belly Is In some respects like the interlocked shields. His feet are his ribs, which he Is capable of working forward or-backward, at the same time bending them. Over each rib there Is a shield, and aa the root moves the point of the foot Is lowered and digs into the ground or takes hold of auy projection on the surface ovor which It is going This moves bis bulk along. He also curls himself up and thus moves along more swiftly. Grabbing with his front ribs, an ugly snake can hold fast while be pulls up his other half. Scientists do not believe that snakes can spring, but that thoy sometimes jump. Dining Early. Lord Shaw told a good story at a dinner to the Bench and Bar given re cently by the Fishmongers' company. He said that In the old days tho Scot tish bench In Edinburgh were accus tomed to dine at four o'clock in the afternoon, and sometimes those con vivial gatherings were prolonged to t. late or early hour, as the case might be. At two o'clock one afternoon a client called at the hous of n distinguished lawyer and asked to seo the master. "He's at dinner," replied tho maid. "At dinner!" gasped the caller.
