MILLIONAIRE's POOR STOMACH

The worn-out stomach OF the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example
of the evils attendant on the possession
OF great wealth. But mlllionaires are
net the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion is
far greater among the toilers. Dyspep-
STA and indigestion are rampant among
these people, and they suffer far worse
tortures than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of standard
medicine like Green's August Flower,
which has been favorite household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty five years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect digestion.
It tones and vitalizes the entire system
and makes life worth living, no matter
what your station. Trial bottles 25c

There was one statement in the
speech which the Rev. DR.. Silas G.
Swallow, Prohibition candidate for the
Presidency, delivered before a temper
ance camp meeting at National Park,
N. j., to which even the saloonkeeper,
the brewer, or the distiller cannot eX.
cept. 1t matters not how bitterly he
may be opposed to the Prohibitionist
propaganda, or how violently he may
antagonize DR.. Swallow, he must agree
that the statement to which we refer is
a powerful Indictment of the liquor
trade. 1t is that "the taxpayers pay
out SIG for taking care of the results of
the liquor traffic for every 81 paid by
the business to the government"
That is the statement of a fact. In
estimating the expense to the govern
ment of taking care of the results of
the liquor traffic. DR.. Swallow pro
ceeds on the hypothesis-not an unrea-
sOnable one by any means-that the
major portion of public expenditures
for police systems, courts, the care of
paupers and the insane is due to ex-
cessive indulgence in liquor.
When it is shown thus clearly that
for every dollar paid to it by saloon
keepers, distillers and brewers for the
privilege Of conducting their traffic,
the government is compelled to pay out
SIG to hold in check and care for the
results of that traffic, even the men
who profit by it must confess that the
government has hold of the bad end OF
a very bad business proposition.-Nortl
