DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure bi~lionsness, jlundice, constipation
and inactive livers by arousing the &C.
cretions. moving the bowels gently, yet
effectuaily, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert "a decidedly
tonic effect upon the organs involved,
and if their use is continued for n few
days there will be no return of the
trouble. Opera House Drug Store.

? S1dy5stary Of War Root said in a speech
in N& York the other day that negro
suffrage was a failure and that the Of
forts of President Roosevelt to solve
the negro problem on a social equality
basis was an exploded idea. There are
thousands of Northern Republicans who
agree with Mr.. Root, and it may be that
the President is aware of the fact and
that he will call q halt in his pernicious
and idiOtic racial social equality policy.
The North has used the negro for polit-
Ical advantage long enough. 1t is now
the proper thing to leave him alone.
The South will solve the race problem
and can do it to the advantage of the

The occasion was a conference of the
cooks OF the principal hotels OF Wash
fngf0n TO devise the most spalatable way
of serving 4 hat Christmas day to Chas.
Edwards. secretary of the Democratic
national congressional campaign COM
rnittee. Edwards told Senator Elkins
That ne would eat a hat i the Repub-
Hcans elected a congressman IN West
virginia The Republicans were sue
cessfui. and it was up to Edwards to
have a hat served for dinner
Senator Elkins was not disposed to
hold the ventures0me politician to the
strict letter of the bet. bat Edwards
insisted He declared that his honor
demanded that he eat hat. This was
the cause Of the conference of the cooks
THE chefs regretted deeply that Mr.
Edwards had not agreed to eat a shirt
instead of a hat. Fine linen shirts can
be made very palatable BY French
cooks.
It inally was decided to serve the
hat as soup and an entree. The
recipe for the soup IS simply to boil
