In 25 of these 36 states, and the District of Columbia, from 1 to 14 persons are awaiting the gallows, or the electric ch: or the firing squad. In Idaho two women are under sentence of death.

NEARLY all people as they advance in age suffer from chronic constipa- tion, Many, however, are indifferent to the laxative they use, on the theory that “they are all alike.” That is a great mistake. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, for ex- ample, is a mild, genile liquid laxative, and it does not lose its effect with re- peated use. It so trains the bowel muscles that in time medicines of all kinds can be dispensed with.
