TAKING THE WHOLE

The new remedy is recent discov-

pie throughout the state within the
past few months that scores of news
papers are publishing local testimoni-

of many people whose word cannot

must have remarkable merit as so

Daily Review recently published the
following: Mr.. J. w. Boyle, of 116
East Washington street, said: my
wife has been taking Root Juice and It
has done wonders for her. Before
taking it she had very bad stomach.
The lightest food would sour on her
stomach and cause IL to burn and
pain her very much. In fact, she said
she felt like it was raw from top to
bottom. Recently her trouble was ag-
gravated by an attack of la grippe.
Her appetite was very poor, but after
taking the Root Juice few days she
had a good appetite and could digest
everything she ate without the least
pain or inconvenience. She is no
longer weak and nervous, and seems
like a new woman. The remedy has
proved a wonderful blessing to her"
In fact so many people are talking
about the new remedy and telling
about it's great soothing, healing. and
toning qualities to the stomach, bowels
liver and kidneys that it is now hard
for the Root Juice people to make it
fast enough to fill all orders. 1t is re-

derful merits, as anyone can learn

USE HORSE SENSE
Such Advice Given Postmas.
tiers by Third Assistant
In His Address.
INVESTIGATE EACH CASE.

Indianapolis, Sept. 11.-That post
masters should use good sound horse
sense" was the plea uttercdby A. L.
Lawshe, third assistant postmaster
general. in an address yesterday after
noon before the national association of
postmasters Of the second and third
class. which opened a three days scs-
sion at the Claypool hotel. Mr.. Lawshe
pointed out a number of things that
the postmasters should and should
not do.
Much of Mr.. Lawshe's address was
taken up with discussion of the new
regulations concerning second-class
mail matter and in giving postmasters
advice on the question of eXacting pen
alties from violators of the regulations
prohibiting the sending of first class
matter in packages of second class
matter.
The thing for you to do sid Mr..
Lawshe, lis to investigate each case.
Know what the facts are. If il is a
child who is guilty of the violation,
give the child some advice and forget
the matter. If it is a poor person or an
ignorant person. give the party little
advice and forget it. If the violator is
an intelligent person, evidently bent
on defrauding the department stick
him. That is horse sense"

WATSON ASKS WHY.
Demands Marshall Commit
Himself as to County 0p-
ton and Take Stand.
OBJECTS TO EVASlVE REPLY

Boonville, Ind, Sept. 11.-For two
and one half hours yesterday after
noon James E. Watson discussed ma
tional and state issues in the Matthew
son opera house before a thousand
people. By his side sat Senator Hem
enway to whom Watson referred many
times as Jim Hemenway, his old
friend and coworker in the campaign.
Mr.. Watson in his speech today re-
ferred to the evasive answer which
Thomas r. Marshall had made to his
challenge on county local option. He
challenged Marshall to say whether he
would sign a bill that embodies coun-
ty local option, and further challenged
his opponent to say whether he would
use his influence with the special ses-
sion for county or ward local option.
Mr.. Watson characterized Marshalfs
answer as "subterfuge." He said he
expected to use all his influence with
republican members in the special ses
sion to have a county local option law
enacted.
