under the heading Reorganization Means
Clevelandism, William ]. Bryan in the
Commoner says he is convinced that the
plan Of the democratic reorganizers IS to
nominate Grover Cleveland for the rpesl-
dency If they are successful.
He quotes interview with the presi-
dent of the Memphis Commercial COM
pany in the Brooklyn Eagle in which the
party Is advised to nominate Mr.. Cleve-
land without his consent, saying under
these conditions he will mot refuse to run
He closes his Commoner editorial as fol-
lows: ....
LAS an evidence that the reorganizers
will give no quarter it is asserted that
while the ideals may differ as to the most
| available reorganizer to nominate, no man
| favorable to the Kansas City platform will
attend the next convention as a delegate.
This is an example Of the harmony
which is so much talked about and sug-
gests what may be expected when a re-
| organized administration begins to deal
with those who were faithful to the ticket.
| The old Clevelandism was bad enough,
but to the sordidness that characterized
! 1t before there is added the spirit Of
vengeance which permates it now"

Toronto, Ont, Feb 26.-Engineers en-

Constipation
.',r1 Cured.
Good Health Is Utterly Impossible
Unless the Waste Products of tho
Body Are Got Rid of-A
Safe, Natural Remedy Is
. IN no Ea1 from
Any Druggist.

Any Druggist.
Constipation isn't pleasant to DIS
cuss---its unpleasant from any stand
point. but if you are constipated you
are sick and will be sicker unless re-
lieyed.
The first question the doctor asks
Is: Flow are your bowels? The first
thing he does Is to make them act
naturally. .r..
If there were no such thing as con-
stipation nine-tenths of the suffering
from disease would be done away
with, because there would be very
little disease.
Nature has provided you with
bowels and kidneys that your sys-
tenn may be kept fpee from poisons.
She has tied UP the nutritive ele-
ments Of all food in mass or IN
digestible materials, from which it is
freed in the process Of Digestion.
If this undigested portion OF the
food Is not removed through the
bowels, it simply lies in the intestines
and rots. causing pain and disease.
Iron-Ox Tablets not only relieve,
but permanently cure constipation.
Remember, Iron-Ox Tablets are not
purgative or cathartlc In their effect.
they are tonic-laxative; they cure by
building up the entire system. Purga-
lives and cathartics give only tenn
porary relief by violent and injurious
action-they do far more harm than
good.
Anything which shocks the system
into activity is dangerous. Do not ex-
pect immediate perceptible effects
from 1ron-Ox Tablets. They produce
a natural regular building up of all
the functions. This takes a little
time, but success is absolutely certain

URGES ROD In SCHOOLS
PRINCIPAL OF CHICAGO SCHOOL
DECLAIMS AGAINST "NAMBY
PAMBY'' THEORIES.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Feb. 26.-Moral suasion has no
more effect on the average Chicago school
boy than rain shower has on a flock of
ducks, according to Principal John I.
Ray Of the John Crear school,
"It is time he declared, that we
threw off the yoke Of mandy PANTY
theories and took active steps to secure
the adoption again of corporal punish
ment in the schools of Chicago. 1t may
be humiliating, I admit, but it is grim
necessity. If the lash were used freely
in the schools there would be fewer boy
bandits and desperadoes.'
A recommendation has been adopted tc
| the same effect by the Central Educa-
| tional council.
