a bad effect on the system gener-

A bilious headache is caused bv
constipated condition of the

Its correct use restores the bowels
to their normal condition and re-
lieves the headache.

The spacious dining hall at the Met
ropolitan Hotel was filed TO it's utmost
capacity Monday night by the men,
bers of the Virginia Democratic Asso-
citation of the District OF Columbia,
who gave banquet in honor of their
Senators and Representatives, the
especial occasion being that Virginia
has now q solid Democratic delegat ton
in Congress for the first time in
number of years. President Harper, of
the District Virginia Association, pre-
sided at the banquet and after the
feast introduced the distinguished
guests who made such speeches as only
Virginians can.
A person listening to the speeches and
the rapturous applause with which the
speakers were greeted would be led to
believe that not only had Bryan been
already nominated in 1900, but that the
election was over and the victory had
been won. The confidence and enthus-
iasm displayed was as great as it could
have been If the Virginia Democrats

the members of the House are young

against any antagonist they may meet
in the halls of Congress.
The affair was an enjoyable occasion
Tor those who participated, and is sig
nificant as showing the unanimitv with
which the Old Dominion stands for the
Chicago platform and Bryan. In this
connection 1t might be remarked that
the Nirginians were among the lead
ers OF the revolt against Clevelandism
in 1896, md that every evidence now
indicates that that grand old Common
wealth is going TO maintain the ira
ditions bequeathed to them by Wash
