Infernal Machines Found in Park,
Library and Postoffice—Dyna
mite Squad Paid Salaries.
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 18.—This was a
busy day for the militant suffragette
bomb squad. A watchman in West-
bourne Park discovered one of the
now famous suffragette infernal ma
chines on a bench. It was a glass
tube filled with gunpowder and shot.
It had a fuse attached, but was not
lighted. Attached to the bomb was a
card upon which was written: “Give
us votes and we will give you peace
Another bomb was discovered on
the steps of the Rotherhithe Public
Library. This bomb was wrapped in
a copy of 'The Suffragette,’ the offi
cial organ of the Woman’s Social and
Politioal Union. While its make-up
was dangerous, It was not contrived
so as to explode.
Another glass-cased bomb was
placed in the postofflce at Wands
worth, a suburb of this city. It con
tained a powerful explosive and slugs.
A card nearing the suffrage colors
and the inscription, “Votes for wom
en,’’ was attached to It.
Think They La ok Nerve.
Scotland Yard takes hope from the
fact that the militants apparently lack
the “nerve’’ to jeopardize human life.
While bombs have been left In ex
posed places where they might have
been set off by carelessness or over
sight, the women have taken precau
tions to prevent explosions.
Bombs containing clockwork at
tachments and detonators usually
were fixed so that an explosion would
be averted, while some of the ma
chines containing powder and fuses
were dampened so that there could be
no ignition.
These assurances, however, have
not allayed the public fear. The be
lief is general that “the women will
yet commit an outrage which may
cost dearly in human life.’’
Arsonettes Paid Salaries.
The detective division of Scotland
Yard, which has been busy gathering
evidence against the six miltant lead
ers, has dscovered that most of the
"Young Hot Bloods,” young unmar
ried women who make up the “arson
‘•quad" and the “dynamite squad,” are
paid a weekly salary.
They change their names frequent
ly and move from one quarter of the
ity to another at intervals so the po
lice can not find them. All work at
bight and make regular reports to the
union ofi the progress of depreda
tions.
The police declare that slnoe the
campaign of violence was opened by
Mn. Bmmellne Pankhurst two years
ago 1,800 outrages of criminal char
acter have been perpetrated by the
militants.

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
The First Necessity Is to
Keep the Bowels Gently
Open With a Mild
Laxative Tonic.
Healthy old age is so absolutely
dependent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be
taken to see that they act regularly.
The fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by plen
ty of exercise, but this latter Is irk
some to most elderly people. One
thing Is certain, that a state of con
stipation should always be avoided
as it is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is to take a mild lax
ative as often as Is deemed neces
sary. But with equal certainty It
Is suggested that cathartics, purga
tives. physics, salts and pills be
avoided, as they do but temporary
good and are so harsh as to be a
shock to a delicate system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol
lowing. Is to take a gentle laxative-
tonic like Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep
sin, which acts as nearly like na
ture as Is possible. In fact, the
tendency of this remedy Is to
strengthen the stomach and bowel
muscles and so train them to act
naturally again, when medicines >f
all kinds can usually be dispensed
with. This Is the opinion of many
people of different ages, among
them Mr. O. P. Miller. Baroda.
Mich., who writes: "I am 80 years
old and have been constipated for
many years. Since receiving your
sample bottle I have procured two
50c bottles and find that it is the
By *:
MR. 0. P. MILLER.
best remedy 1 ever used and does
Just what you claim for it to the
very letter. I can not recommend It
too highly.”
A bottle can be bought of any
druggist at fifty cents or one dol
lar. People usually buy the flfty-
cent size first, and then, having
convinced themselves of its merits
theiy buy the dollar size, which is
more economical. Results are al
ways guaranteed or money will be
refunded. Any elderly person can
follow these suggestions with safety
and the assurance of good results.
If no member of your family has
ever used Syrup Pepsin and you
would like to make a personal trial
of It before buying it in the regular
wav of a druggist, send your ad
dress—a postal will do—to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell. 417 Washington St..
Monticello, Ill., and a free sample
bottle will be mailed you.
