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 posses
sion of great wealth. But million
aires are not the only ones who are
afflicted with bad stOmachs. The pro-
portion is FAR greater among the toll
ers. Dyspepsia and Indigestion are
rampant among these people, and they
suffer far worse fortunes than the mil.
lionaire unless they avail themselves
OF standard medicine like Green's
August Flower, which has been fav-
orite household remedy for all stom-
ach troubles for over thirty-hve years.

At the annual meeting Of the Los
Angeles w. G. T. q, Rev Robert j..
Burdette, was invited to deliver an
address TO the ladies, no subject was
named for the talk, but almost the first
sentence indicated that Mr. Burdet c
had determined to give them litt e
81 his philosophy upon the subject 81
prohibition. Ia his unique way he 50 d
In part:
"You say that prohibition prohibits
drinking, but IL doesn't. have been
pretty near everywhere hereabout:
been beyond the Jordon and among the
Arabs, but | meyer saw town where a
fellow couldn't get drink OF whiskey
IL he wanted ii.
"A man living In Pasadena doesn't

drink OF whiskey The cansget 1t in Pas
adena. Every now and then We pick
up man for being drunk on the street
and fine him hundred dollars. He
pays it and goes ont TO hunt another
drink "
The speaker humorously Illus rated
the prohibition theory by the mother
who sought to prohibit her boys from
the use OF certain dainties by hiding
them away in the ferthermost cornor
of the highest shelf, with the newt
able result OF sharpening the appetite,
and strengthening the determination
to get at them. He declared that
while there was possibility OF prevent
ing the boy getting possession of the
coveted article, lhe enforced abstir-
ice failed to teach him anything, and
he would stick TO It until he gained his
desire.
"Men continue to give their lives to
find the North Pole. 1t won't be worth
anything when thay in it. but they !
stick TO it until they succeed.
"You can't propibit the use OF auy
thing by telling m1u be can't have Il.

"Take pig out of the sly; wash him,

of marble; turn him out, and the first
thing he will DO will be to root the
oses out of the garden. He's a pig
still. "You can't cleanse a man from

NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATS.
Meeting In Convention Today at Con
cord-Two Factions.

CONCORD, N. H, April 27.-The renew
Ing of an old contest between factions in
the democratic party of the state led to the
probability that two tickets for delegates
at large to the national convention would
be presented today at the New Hampshire
democratic convention.
The two factions, which are known as the
''re-organizers' and the regulars are
headed by Henry r. Hollis and John M.
Mitchell, respectively, both of this city.
The sentiment prevailed before the opening
of the convention that the delegates should
not be instructed.
Upon the assembling Of the convention p.
H. Sullivan of Manchester was chosen
chairman.
The platform was presented and unani-
mously adopted. 1t demands a revision OF
the tariff; suppression of trusts through
law and executive action; "a halt In the
march toward imperialism" return to
simplicity, frugality and integrity in ad-
ministration and a thorough investigation
of the federal departments by congressional
authority. Confidence Is expressed that the
national convention will select such repre-
sentative nominees "as will put the his
toric party of the country in united array
for the accomplishment of success and Its
attendant benefits to the people"
