when three sets Of certificates from that

The Commission then stook that State
with the objections thereto under adj

Take None but Strong Men.

The events connected with the recent
strikes teach anew the important truth that
only men of ability aud force as well as OF
good character should be elected to public
Office.
1t too often happens that for the sake OF
some temporary party advantage, weak OF
eccentric men are up for important places
on account of their supposed popularity OIL
availability, and are elected; but it is al
ways public calamity. Such,me also see
their opportunity and rush into the news

in putting weak men into posts which they
cannot fill. We should be glad to support
party which would never commit any
folly of this kind.

The Channels of Exit

From the human system bear the same
relation to it as sewers do to city. They
carry off the waste, the refuse which it il
essential to remove in order to prevent dis
ease, One of the most salutary effects Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is to renew
activity of the bowels when these organs
are derelict in their duty. The bilious and
dyspeptic symptoms which accompany con
stipation are also repedied by this sterling
Alternative. Its gentle cathartic actor
has the effect of removing impurities
which would otherwise poison the system,
and its tonic influence is exhibited in an
increase in vital power. 1t renews appe.
tite, soothes and invigorates the nerves
prevents and remedies malarial fever, and
is first rate remedy for dependency.
