THE REORGANIzERs ONES TO BOLT.
Charge Comes With Bad Grace, Says
Bryan, from Those Who Bolted.

LINCOLN, NEB., March TN this
weeks Conmoner Mr.. Bryan declares
neither he nor his friends are contem-
plating bolt. He says:
"Some of the reorganizers, recog-
nizing that their secret schemes are
menaced by the organization of Kan
sas City platform clubs, as proposed
by The Commoner, are attempting to
scare local but weakened democrats
by saying that the contemplated move
ment is threatened bolt.
"This charge is false and malicious,
and comes with bad grace from those
who themselves bolted the democratic
presidential nomination.
"If the Kansas City platform demo-
Gratis do their duty the question of
boiling will never arise; that will be
left to the consideration of those who
bolted before. The fight will be made
at the primaries, where the voice of
the people alone is heard"

was escorted to a room up stairs and
informed that he would find an agent
on the inside who would wait upon
him.
Upon entering the room designated
by the stranger the door was closed
and latched, and instead of getting his
ticket countersigned Mr.. Marlin had a

two men, who commanded him to de-

$3.50. all the money he had. Mr..
Marlin left New Orleans for Texas
with nothing but his railroad ticket.
That the accommodating young man
had never known Mr.. Marlin be-

the name of his victim and his des-

A Boston millionaire was very

and consulted famous specialist.
wI want some flesh" he said.
~'I am willing to pay for it. I'll
give you $500 for every pound of
solid healthy flesh you can put on
these bones"
1t was a big price, but he could
well afford to pay it. For undue
thinness is dangerous. 1t means
disease, or the approach of disease.
Cod liver oil has most always
been prescribed for this condition.
1t has wonderful properties as a
medicine, but itsdisagreeable grease
and vile taste and smell make most
people sick.
We have long thought that
something could be devised with
cod liver oil as a basis that would
arrest emaciation, promote nutri-
Sion, stimulate digestion, aid in
throwing off rheumatism, lung
trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and
prove a real bodybuilding tonic
