Wells won out and afterWdrd net Judge

How Good Food may Turn to Poison.

TN EcAYis not digestion. you know.
 N even when 1t takes place in the JO stomach. A Food decayed In the body after being eaten Is as dangerous to health as food decayed before being eaten.
 Food nourishes or poisons, just accord ing to how long it remains in the Bowela undigested.
 Most of the Digestion occurs in tho thirty feet of intestines.
 They are lined with set of iittle mouths. that squeeze Digestive Juices into the Food eaten.
 The lnstestines are also lined with millions of little suction pumps, that draw tho Muir. ment from Food. as 1t passes them in going through.
 But, when the Bowel-Muscles arc weak, the Food moves too slowly to stimulate the little Gastric Mouths and there is na flow or too little flow of Digestive Juice. to change the food into nourishment.
 Then, the food decays in the Bowels. and the little suction pumps draw Poison from the decayed Food. into tho blood. in- stead of the Nutrition they should have drawn.
 
 Now, Cascarets contain the only com bination of drugs that Stimulates these Muscles of tue Bowels and intestines just as a Cold Bath. or open-air Exercise, stim- ulates Lazy Man.
 Cascarets therefore act like Exercise. They produce the same sort of Natural result that Six Mile walk in the country would produce without any iniurio us Chem ical effect.

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
WHAT SALT LAKE DEMANDS.

1t seems that Speaker Joseph and the
other Republicans associated with him
In opposition to the Galveston bills do
not enjoy The Heralds comment on
their position. That is. of course. to
be regretted. although the comment
was not written with any notion of
pleasing anybody responsible for side
tracking debate on the measures in the
house by a piece of parliamentary
trickery. All that The Herald has
asked was fair play for these bills: all
that the speaker gave the people of
Salt Lake was small politics; a snap
vote which suppressed debate, and a
refusal to permit the measures TO come
up for the legitimate, open considera-
tion which every important piece of
legislation is entitled to.
The fact that Joseph or anybody else
IS opposed to the bills is not at issue at
all now. although it is curious that the
speaker should fight measures approved
by at least two-thirds OF the members
from Salt Lake and supported by prom
inent citizens of every party Where
the speaker has been most obnoxious
has been in his persistent. determined
and unfair efforts to prevent a full dis
cussion and an open vote. If he will
change his course in this. there may be
some occasion to cOncede that he is
disposed TO be fair and to represent his
constituency; but, unless this session
shall see those measures discussed fully
and freely in the house. unless the very
strong sentiment in behalf of a reform
in municipal methods is allowed to ex-
press Itself. the responsibility for the
outcome will belong TO Harry S. Joseph,
speaker of the house, and to the federal
office-holders who have urged him and
his followers to obstruct elaboration
and defeat the movement at any cost.
