A Continual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain" because of some
financial or family trouble. Itwears and
distresses them both mentally and physi-
cally, affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation.
loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitali-
ty and dependency. They can not, as a
rule, get rid of this continual strain but
they can remedy it's notwithstanding eff
fects by taking frequent doses of Green's
August Flower. 1t tones up the liver,
stimulates the kidneys, insures healthy
bodily functions, gives vim and spirit to
ones whole being, and eventually dis

ed by that continual strain" Trial bot

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS senatorial
district, composed of the counties
of Benton, Decatur, Hardin, Hard
eman and McNairy, was in Nash
vile this morning and went to Gal
latin this afternoon to hear the
ointdiscussion between Governor
Frazier and Mr.. Littleton. Mr..
Gill is one of the strongest men IL
the twenty-sixth district, and will
be elected by q big Democratic
majority. His nomination gives
strength to the party lines in that
section, for he is a staunch, sub
stantial citizen, good Democrat,
and those who know him have an
abiding faith in his integrity and
ability. As one of the young men
of the Senate, he will be expected
to make his presence felt, for it is
predicted that he will impress his

IF the last Republican Congress
had cared anything about the COM
mon people, those who work in the
fields, and travel on the country
roads, it would have made hand
some provision for the good roads
project. But when it comes down
to n concrete case Of actually pass
ing a law in favor of the working
mer, or the farmers, the Republi-
can always halt, and shuttle, and
do nothing. In France they do
things better. That country has
100000 miles of macadam roads,
which are kept in the best condi-
ton at yearly cost of about As
cents to each inhabitant. There
should be half a million miles of
such roads in America.

ONLY a few years ago Candidate
Fowler and Candidate Mccall of
the Republican party were criti-
cising the Democratic party FOR
not having a surplus. This year
Candidate Littleton is criticising
it because it has a surplus. If the
treasury is empty they want it full;
if it is full they want it empty.
There is really only one way to sat-
isfy a Republican politician and
that is to give him free and unlim-
tied access to the pie counter

WHILE the Republicans are con-
stantly telling the public that a
high tariff is necessary to keep up
che wages Of the working men to a
certain standard in this country,
they neglect toputa high tariff on
immigration, but allow millions of
muscular laborers to flock in from
Europe WHO are glad to work at
any price. The TRUTH is the trusts
and the protected manufacturers
want cheap labor, and they cares
little for the native-born Ameri-
can, or his needs. AS soon as the
laboring men getthis truth Through
their heads they will vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, and put stop to
free trade in labor.

DEMOCRATS have no particular
reason for weeping over the fact
that the Republicans Of West Vir-
ginia have a large quarrel on their
hands which is likely to change
the political complexion of at least
three of the FIVE Congressionaldis-
tricts.

The Democratic campaign text
book, in hauling Senator Calm
ger over the Goals as "falsifer,'
says; "The total value of our man
featured goods sold at home is not
less than Sc, O0O,O0O,0O0 The val
ne Of these same goods for export
is only 81, 800,00O,000, and the diff
ference between these two amounts
($1,2OO,OO0,00O) is what the Amer
lean people pay for protection"
In other words, American goods
are sold in Europe at one-quarter
less than they can be bought for
by American consumers here at
home. Is this to continue forever?
