Neb, X-tl4J-llO-x Despised Dandelion Comes Into Own With Advent of Bone Dry Act Chicago Tribune-Omaha Re Leased Wire. Chicago, May 21. Time was when the saucy dandelion was a despised thing. It flaunted its yellow head in costly lawns and took forcible pos sesion of vast areas. Up to this year the only use found for dandelions was in the homes of people who used enormous quantities for greens, but this year things are different. People whose lawns are infested with dandelions are besieged by volunteers who beg the privilege of removing them. Scores of pickers traverse the prairies gathering the blossoms and digging up the roots, for it has been discovered that dandelion wine is not at all hard to imbibe. It is easily made just the blossoms, with a few roots macerated, a little yeast, some sugar and water and a few days' patience, and the result is something with a guaranteed kick and no danger of blindness or other ills following the use of wood alco hol.

Elderly People Have A Daily Health Problem Stomach muscles and digestive organs slow to act as age advances MOST people find the years slipping by without real izing it, until suddenly confronted with the fact that they can no longer digest everything they would like to eat. It then becomes their daily task to avoid what they know to be chronic con Btipation. j When exercise and light diet fail it will be necessary to resort to artificial means. Strong physics and cathartics, however, are not advisable for elderly people. They act too powerfully and a feeling of weakness results. What is Deeded Is a laxative containing effective but mild properties. This is best found in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which is a combination 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 1892 and was the private formula of Dr.W.B. Caldwell, who is himself past 80 years of age and still active in his profession. It can be bought at any drug store and one bottle ,is enough to last even a large family many months. It is a trustworthy preparation. In spite of the fact that Dr. Cold, well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefits have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial bottle toDr. W. B Caldwell,' ;u Washington St., Uonticelb, Illinois.
