Chronic constipation pile) appendicitis and
other such intestinal afflictions are more often
caused ly improper physics than anything else.
The average ph)sic w hether it is in the
form of a water candy pellet or pill is in-
tended to quitltly and unnaturally move the
bowels. Ejch an unnatural treatment so
slioib and wcaVens the intestinal muscles that
the continued treatment of stronger and stronger
phum bciumct necessary. This produces
chronic constipation.
Piles and appendicitis arc caused by the
violent manner in which these explosive drugs
attack the intestines.
Dr. Caldwell's SiirupFepsin
in the ordinary sense is not a cathartic. It is
a laxative but acts differently from all other
preparations. It contains great toni- proper-
ties which strengthen instead of weaken the
intestinal muscles. It is pleasant to tale does
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for co cents and
doesn't ktlaf.

UPSTAIRS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
SACRED FROM INTRUSION.

Cuesti Attic Used.
l'Ptalrs 111 the White House tin-
der the reign of the ltoofevelta Is a
t-.n red and exclusive domain. How-
cur. the snvi i-elmi people tiny roam
f'lnimli the lower room; however
tb' inn justly claim that the
l- 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 - are tbvlr own when they go
up on. (Unlit they find that Just ns
an FiiKlNliman home Is his castle
mi in' the upper floors Inviolate and
trieil the private residence of nil
Aim il an gentleman and his faintly.
It iicut wai exclusive during ear-
lier administration mainly because
one third of the second or residential
floor wan occutded bv ollleers. and
the stairs lending thereto were trod
den by the feet ()( tbnusnnils of of-
fice seekers nnd or-her persons who
hoped to get something from the
president That part of the great
corridor running length-wise through
the middle of the mansion which Is
directly over the Fast room was util-
ised ns nn nntedood. chairs being set
nlong Its walls for the "waits." whllo
n table for the newspaper reporters
stood In the middle of the space
tho result being that the prlvnev of
the executive household was serious-
ly impaired.
With the remodeling of the his-
toric dwelling four years ngn all of
TIs was done away with and tho
former offices were sultnbly trans-
formed for domestic use. Only tho
fortunate nnd privileged guest Is
now permitted to view the precincts
forbidden to the multitude nhovc tho
ground lloor the latter Including
the fnmous liist room (but barring
the private dining room) being In ef-
fect the public portion of the man-
sion employed for oMlclnl rahtior
than lor prlvnte purposes.
As might be Imngtiied. there never
was a time when the general public
was allowed for the purpose ot
gratlMng an Innocent curiosity to
Inspect the rooms at tho Whlto
House. Hut now more Winn over
owing to the modified arrangements
nnd particularly In roneoueneo ot
n special excluslveness of the Hoose-
veits. tne tipstnlrs department or tho
dwelling has neeiilred. from the view-
Point of the vulgar n rertnln rpiasl-
mysterious Interest. Visitors from
nfnr gravely speculate In regard to
the arrangement and furnishing of
t e bed chambers nnd would especi-
ally like to know how the members
of the family are distributed where
the bedroom of the president nnd
his wife Is located what quarters nro
allotted t() Miss Kthel nnd the bovs.
nii(l so on. Hut tho uniformed guards
011 the premises when questions ot
ti'n kind nre a Idressed to them only
p'"'ke their bends refusing Informa-
tion. Now Itinsmucli ns nccess to the
penetralia from below Is denied. It
may bo ns well to elude the guardi
nni t0 gratify tho curiosity of nn
Imag nary visitor by inking him
through the roof where thero
Is a convenient scuttle. It'
Is a flat roof comfortablo to
w.i lk upon nnd in the mid-
dle of It there Is n tall flagstaff
whlc In Itself or rather the Mag
that floats from It Is nn object or
no small Interest. For this flag Is
not only a patriotic emblem but also
I a signal giving notice of the whero-
ahnuts of the president. When Mr
Hoosnvelt is In Washington It Is nl-
wnys to bo seen waving proudly alo't
but In his absence though for only
a day. It is hnuUM own. and the
pole stands baro and naked.
Hv way of a short flight of sU'rs
leading up from rhe flagstaff to t'lo
roof of tho portico on tho south
front of the luilldlng now tho rear
but anciently the main facade of tho
mansion by which n road ran tho
visitor may be readily conducted to
a small trap door which being open-
ed gives admittance to tho attic.
This attic one may say is rather an
Interesting portion of tho structure
roomy old fashioned (nfter tlio men-
nrr of the typical attic of a colonial)
and extending over tho entiro length
nnd bre.idth of the building. That
Is to say. It was old fashioned until
the somewtint radical nlterntlnns
wore mnde by Mr. Roosevelt. Up to
tnt time It wns n sort ot curiosity

and ends Including articles of fur-
niture discarded nnd left over from
earlier administrations. There too n
fnlrly spacious room of red cedar in
which tho president and his family
kept their summer clothing In win-
ter nnd their winter clothing In tho
summer time.
It used to be said and currently
believed thnt tho nttlc was haunted
v the rhost of President William
Henry Harrison who die In o
White House early In his administra-
tion. Several of the negro serr
vnnts emidoved there at various

So little Is popularly knnwn nltoiit
I the upstairs pnrt of the White House
ithnt few people are nwnre of the
I fact thnt Mr. Iloosevelt has another
.office on the econd or bedroom floor.
It Is the old cabinet room and In it
jstlll remains the long tntde of pop
jlshed mnhognny nt which through
successive ndniltilstrntlons so many
distinguished men have sat.

table however. Is tho desk xvhleji
Mr. Uoosevelt uses In his private
.wo -jx1- ntniij b.wh" Jtilii tupiiii
sanctum. It Is n very mnsslvo nf-
fair of the ltnee-hnie pattern and
;ls ndorned by n silver plate which
(tells Its curious history.' Most strik-
ing Indeed is thi story told by tho
sliver plate: for t appears that tne
I desk Is made nf the timbers of n
ship called the llesnlule which more
thnn hnlf a century ngo voyaged In
Arctic regions In quest of the lost
expedition nf Sir John Franklin.
Adjoining Mr. ltoosevelfg "study"

cabinet room is n room twice the

'Mr. McKlnley by Ilenlamln Harrl-

Into n guest chamber like nil tho
other rooms In the east end of tne

lo It Is the old wnr rtxini. occupied
I bv busy telegraph operators during
the Spanish conflict at present a
bedroom with n bath partitioned oft
at one corner. Opposite ncross tho
main corridor Is a similar bedcham-
ber with a bath. Which leaves un-
mentioned only one room of lirgo
slie directly ncross tho hall from
Mr McKlnley's old olllce nnd occu-
pied In i..s time by his secretnry. It
Is today the handsomest bedroom In
tho dwelling.
. When Mrs. Cleveland first enmo to
the While House n bride sho ex-
pected to tlo n great deal of enter-
Italnlng nnd to Invito many of her
girl irlends to como nnd stay with
her knowing ns sho did wfopt an
event such n visit would be In te
llfo of any young woman. Her dis-
appointment - wns correspondingly
j great when sho found that tho nvall-
las shecould find beds in the domicile
strlcted ns to render suoh hospitali-
ties practicable only on a very small
scale 'mat Is to say threo or four
people at a tlmo were nbout as many
as could find beds In tho domlc.o
of tho president
Likewise .Mrs. Itenjamln Harrison
bitterly complained tuf her fiiends
that she hnd left n house containing
twelve bedrooms to occupy ono with
only five. When one comes to think
lot t. It wns an nbsurdlty and It Is
icertnlnly matter for congratulation
I that to president's houso (Its origi-
nal official designation possesses to-
day n total of nine bedrooms with
six baths thanks to the changes made
by Mr. Hoosevclt. Of course tho
I Uoosevelt family Is largo compris
ing (oven now that Miss Allco is
gone) four boys nnd a girl nearly
grown to young ladyhood so that tho
old quarters nro barely sulllclent to
accommodato tho members of tho
jhome circle. Tho bedrooms newly
(provided In tho east wing which by
tho way aro beautifully furnished In
massive mnhognny with brass bed-
steads nro utilized as guest cham-
bers. I Incidentally to the recent recon-
struction of tho W'hito House the old
bedrooms woro redecorated nnd to n
considerable extent refurnished
whatever seemed nntlquated or shab-
by being replaced by something now
and handsome. Thus the living nunr
tors of tho establishment linvo taken
I on nn air of much grenler elegance
.than formerly they possessed nn
jlegntice tnoro appropriate to a bund-
ling which in any other country
wnu.d be called a palace. Congress
gives moro thnn JSO.nou every year
for repairing nnd adorning tho his.
tnrlc edifice Insldo and outside. Thus
there is no reason why It should not
bo mndo nnd kept beautiful always
not nnlv Its official portion but Its
bedrooms nnd such other parts nt

dent's dwelling.
