A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be q stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of silver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach.
increases the secretions of the bood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection of other organs.
If you have bitter or bad taste in the morn
ing. poor or variable appetite. coated tongue,
foul breath. constipated or irregular bowels
feel weak. easily tired. Respondent. frequent
headaches, pain or distress in rsmall OF back. :"
gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach.
perhaps nausea, bitter or sour rrisings" in
throat after eating. and kindred symptoms
OF weak stomach and torpid liver, no medi-
cine will relieve you more promptly or cure
you more permanently than Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Perhaps only
part OF the above symptoms will be present
at one time and yet point to torpid liver or
biliousness and weak stomach. Avoid all
hot bread and biscuits. griddle cakes and
other indigestible food and take the vGolden
Medical Discovery" regularly and stick to its
use until you are vigorous and strong.
The rDiscovery" is non-secret, nom alco-
holic. is a glyceric extract Of native medici-
nal roots with full list Of its ingredients
printed on each bottle-wrapper and attested
under oath. Its ingredients are endorsed
and extOlled by the most eminent medical
writer's Of the age and are recommended to
cure the diseases for which 1t is advised.

Since the Chamber of Commerce
took up the matter of delayed
trains with the officials of the Colo
RADIO g. Southern railway, the trains
have been arriving in the city on
scheduled time. Numerous citi-
zens made individual protest to the
railroad against the repeated de-
lays, but their letters had no effect
whatever. When the protests went
in from the Chamber of Commerce,
an organization representing the
entire population of this city and
county, they carried weight and
the delay was Immediately recti-
fed. Thus it can be seen what can
be accomplished by the people
working in unison. This last SER
vice of the Chamber is only one of
the many needed Improvements
brought about for the benefit of
the people of Gilpin county.

It is almost an absolute certainty
now that Ashbaugh will receive
the nomination for district Judge,
Boss Vivian, who has endorsed the
Gilpin county bantam weight,
demonstrated ut the convention
held in Golden Saturday, that he
still controls the Republicans of
Jefferson county, and will doubtless
have a sufficient number of the
delegates of the several counties
of the district with him to nomi-
nate his man. According to re-
ports, the convention in Golden
was conducted in the same manner
as the one held here by the Vivian
followers Saturday. Those who
stood out for a square deal got the
worst of it.

The public was given nm idea of
what the phonetic spelling would
be like should it be adopted uni
verasally, in the advertisement of
A. L. Lewis a. Son, published in
Sundays papers. The new form
to us appears ridiculous in many
respects. The word display" in
ad. phonetically spelled was dis
ply" How in the world anyone
can get display" out of the word
when spelled "d-i-s-p-l-y" is a mys-
terry to us. It seems that the word
spelled correctly according to the
short form should be "d-i-s-p-l-a."

The people of Clear Creek coun-
ty have rightfully decreed that any
man pluced in the field for repre-
sentative, necessarily pledged to
support Simon Guggenheim, the
smelter magnate, for the U. S.
senate, will be defeated good and
hard. That is the way the people
of Gilpin county feel about the
Republican candidate for repre-
sentative. The Vivian G uggen-
helm combination is in control of
the Republican party here the
same as they are in control of Clear
Greek, Jefferson and other coun-
ties, and it goes without saying
that whoever is nominated for the
Legislature by the corporation hire
lings will get what he deserves in
way of defeat.

Central City will be called upon
next year to entertain the Ancient
Order of Hibernians assembled in
annual convention. The city can
be depended upon to maintain the
reputation it has always enjoyed
for its genuine western hospitality
on that occasion, and the citizens
will unite in their efforts to make
the visit of the members of this
popular order a most pleasant and
enjoyable one.

new form would confuse readers.
We are willing to adopt reforms
provided the change is an improve
ment over an old custom, but in
the phonetic spelling we fail to see
where any improvement is made.
We don't want fricaseed orthog-
raphy in ours and prefer to con-
tinue using the old and sensible
form.

DOGS FEARED BY osTsIcHEe

SAVAGE Kicks.

savage Kicks.
Many accounts have been written
OF the ferceness of the African os-
trich. but most of the statements are
exaggerated. During the laying sea-
son the males become quite ferocious
and one must be very careful in ap-
preaching a nest, as he may get q
kick which will not only knock him
badly, as each bird has upon its feet
claws which will cut like a knife. A
curious fact is that II person stoops
over when attacked by one of the
large birds he may save himself from
the kick. as II cannot exert any force
below height of three feet. owing
to the peculiar manner in which the
legs are jointed. The keepers at the
ostrich farm at Jacksonville, Fla.
take with them small dogs. which Will
drive the largest ostriches anywhere
about the pen. The birds realize that
they cannot harm the dogs with their
feet and fear them more than . man.
