Dewey's dispatch to "send the

they cannot maintain themselves within

HANNA papers denounced Senator
Burke, in unsparing terms, but have had
no word of condemnation for Judge Del
Ienbaugh. Burke was q Republican
Senator from Cleveland, who opposed
Hanna's election to the U. s. Senate.
Dellenbaugh was a Hanna man who
boosted that he could get Burke to vote
for Hanna. But bis influence" was not
sufficient to change Burke's mind. Both
Dsllenbaugh and Burke have recently
been disbarred for corrupt practices, by

Bub Dsllenbauqh was the worst
man of the two. He blackmsiled q

Manila, Feb. 24-10:30 g. m Owing
to the wholesale arrests of all suspected

If asked the question Have you got a stom-
ach?" it would be safe on general principles,
to answer YES" But, if you are sure of it,
that is, you ever feel any distress after eating
or any pains of whatever description in the
region of the stomach, you got something
more than an ordinary stomach; in other
words, you have got diseased stomach. The
stomach Is a powerful muscle, and the proper
remedy for tired muscle is rest. Try the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this product not
only contains digested food, which will nour-

| cents. Sample bottles at this price are carried

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well If We Know
How-Some Of the Conditions Neees-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance Of maintaining good
health Is easily understood, and it is
really a simple matter if we take cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood Is employed TO
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need 1t.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such record Of cures as Hood g
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds OF people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.
