The American newspaper end magazine correspondents who stopped at San Antonio when en route to Mexico City to participate in the -en ttnnial ceremonies ot our sister re public have sung the glories of tins city in numerous press articles, con tributed since their return. From tne land of the Aread ans, where the story of Evangeline nad its setting, comes an article written by a quiet little- French Canadian, who was so entranced with the beauty ot this city that he contributed an ar ticle about can Antonio and mailed it to his magazine before resuming his journey to tne land of me Muntc zumas. Here are a few extracts from his article: J “Imagine if you can, the city ot i Quebec transplanted four thousandi miles to the south, surrounded by Helds of cotton. The beautiful city I of San Antonio, is the Quebec of t to j United States, it has its river; it has its great buildings and picturesque streets, centuries old; it has Its cos-1 mopoiltan people, wearing the garb of their native land; it has Its his tory written in song and story; it has its citadel, in the ancient Alamo, the cradle of Texas liberty; It has its especially attractive section, which vies with out own beloved Plains of Abraham, in beautiful Alamo Heights, from which point of vantage i scanned the city and its adjacent | territory. It was here I mentally saw enacted that famous battle of the I French and Indian war, which gave Canada to England. The setting here todav is very similar to Quebec. This Alamo Heights is a fine residential section and a suburb of the modern city of San Antonio, from the business center of which in a line as the crow flies, there Is a three-mile asphalt and । macadam street leading to the 1 Heights beyond, and continuing ' through a beautiful stretch of country I forming the now celebrated Alamo Heights loop, twenty-eight mil.is ot perfect roadway from the center of 1 the city out past Alamo Heights ana back to the center from another side. i If 1 ever leave my Canadian land to 1 seek a new home, that place must be on this Alamo Heights, in this Alamo city, as it is lovingly called by its citizens, which next to my own dear Quebec is the most beautiful spot in America.” -■—■ —♦.» The Fall Muse.

But unfortunately so many old people have a dismal life. Even if they are otherwise in good health they seem to suffer from constipation and indigestion. It is the penalty ! of old age. To old people, the best advice is—Be careful of your food. But even that is not all. Th»> , stomach and bowel muscles are no longer as active j as they used to be and on that account movement ■ of the bowels is more difflcult. To aid nature take i a mild laxative like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin whenever you find yourself becoming constipated or v hen you have any difficulty digesting your food. It is not strong like salts or purgatives, but is mild, ' gentle and non-griping—just what elderly people need. It is the best laxative for old people, as it is for women and children. Many men and women tar beyond seventy have been able to discard ah medicines after a brief use of Syrup Pepsin. The ; regular bottles can be obtained ot any druggist at fifty cents or one dollar , but we suggest that you make a free trial of it first, as so many others have done. Send your address to Dr. Caldwell and he will send you a free sample bottle. Dr. Caldwell does uot feel that the pur chase of his remedy ends his obligation. He has specialized in stomach, liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and ► will be pleased to give the reader any ad- L vice ou the subject free of charge. All are I welcome to write him.
