bad taste in your mouth, with your throat
and tongue dry and yellow coating on your
teeth and gums, dom: imagine it was all
caused by what you ate the night before.
OF course every body does that and every
body 'sswesrs of from again eating such
food. The trouble is that your liver is
clogged, your kidneys are Overvorked and
your bowels are not doing their duty. Take

his whiskers or hair" The speaker was we'll
known local dog faneier. aud he was talking
about dogs in certain hotel parlor with a
group of friends, among them reporter of
the New Haven (Ct.) Palladium. Everybody
laughed derisively, but the speaker Indignantly
said: Its just so! But whether they do it
unconsciously," he added, don't undertake
to say. Why, look up and down the streets
any day and you will see that it is true. Take

whiskers are white, and he is chased around

that graysh terrier that follows him
around? Then there are dozens of sandy,
light-complexioned men who possess setter
dogs with shaggy hides matching their owners
whiskers to perfection. Why, there goes such
case now" Sure enough, on the opposite
