Yes. August Flower still has the

grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill

they seldom heard of appendicitis,

millinery at 1868 Milwaukee avenue,

Chamberlain Cough Remedy for a
severe cold at that time, which

the center of group of listeners,
with whom he discussed current poll
tics freely. He very much opposed
the Filipino war and declared that he
would vote for Bryan now, although
he did not in 1896. He was asked:
lis it Bryan's or Mckinley's view
that is gaining among the People?"
after all this talk, do you ask what
/ Think" he replied. LET me quote
you Roosevelt on that. He said to me
last week: Jordan. 1 wish to God
that we were out of the Philippines
and had them off our hands, and
many republicans are thinking the
same. am free to quote Roosevelt
because l consider him in many re-
sPects one of the greatest men in the
republican party"
How do you size up McKinley?"
LET me quote you Roosevelt again.
He said: Mckinley has about as
much backbone as toy chocolate man
that you see on the confectioner's
stand; he is dreadful disappoint-
