"The election takes place Nov. 9th this
year, and young men otherwise qualified
can vote that day if his birthday on which
he calls himself twenty-one doesn't come
until the day after, that is November 7th.
1t seems queer, but it's legal fact. The
man whose birthday is the 7th becomes
81 at midnight after the 9Th. The law
recognizes DO parts of days and so legally,
if he is 81 at any time of the 9Th, he is 81
all day of the 9Th, and he can vote ON
that day. 1t is a matter that has been
tested and demonstrated, apd any young
man reading this who thinks he will be
21 on the 7th because it is his birthday.

If you will remember a few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known, n,-to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this

past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to coyer
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
