is that he is under the Tammany influence

A RICH MANS PROJECT.

E s +
A rich mans statement that he in
tends to devote almost his entire for.
tune to charitable works has aroused
mlcn discussion. This is because it will
accomplish much! good. 1t is praise
worthy endeavor, but there are many
other agencies which accomplish just rs
much good. Take Hostetter's Stomach
Ritters for instance--the great Ameri-
can remedy. For fifty years it has cured
constipation, dyspepsia and all the ills
which arise from weak digestion. This
medicine will keep the stomach in good
shape and the bowels regular. 1t is a
wonderful restorative tonic and health
builder. 1t is also preventive for
malaria, fever and agne. Ask for it,
and insist upon having it. See that a
private Revenue Stamp covers the neck
Of the bottle.
