The liver is sluggish because the stom-

everything else. His scowling, sullen
visage checks the flow of talk at the

says to another "The old chaps liver

says. "Perhaps he's suffering from kid

It Doesn't Seem 60 Be Much Of an I'm.
provement on Ordinary Brightness
Washington Letter.
There was q lot of fun in the House
of Representatives, last week. when
the ELECTROMAGNETIC bill friends were
trying to bring it to vote. The oleo
people had no hope Of seriously delay
ing its passage, but were willing to
harass the enemy and have little
horseplay at their expense. So the
opponents would offer amendments to
the bill intended to travesty its princi-
pies.
Mr.. Boutelle of Illinois offered an
amendment to put tax of ten cents
. pound on sardines sold in imitation
Of salmon, or Of 20 cents q pound if
sold in imitation of oleomargarine.
The speaker gravely ruled that it was
not germane.
Then Clayton OF Georgia wanted to
amend by taking artificial ice when
sold in imitation of ice made OF I'M
clean water. He argued gaily that
people should not be deceived into
consuming clear distilled water when
they doubtless only intended to con.
sumo water filled with the bacteria OF
typhoid.
Whereupon another gentleman got
up and offered as q substitute an
amendment to put a large tax on
glucose, which be said was often sold
in imitation of sugar. Then, premis.
ing with the remark that this was .
sweet subject, he started an oratorical
fight about sweethearts and summer
moons and the feeting fancies of the
poet. This also was ruled not ger
name to the subject Of butter.
Williams Of Mississippi brought out
an amendment to tax artificial eyes,
which are undoubtedly made to de.
ceive and make the beholder think
they are the natural product. In
order to get time to deliver their hu-
morous filings the members would re.
sort to pro forma appeal from the
decision OF the chair in ruling the
amendments not germane. On the
appeal they would make their little
speech; then the appeal would be
withdrawn.

A starved organ can't work or at the
best it works partially and ineffectively.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,

enables the perfect digestion and assimi-

converted into nutrition, builds up the

sound health and strength.
