You Can't Cure
Constipation With a Whip

The cause Of constipation is the use Of
harsh physic.
q begins with the occasional use of
salts and harsh pills. They irritate
the bowel lining. as shown by the
gripping and pain.
Then Nature hardens that lining, just
as she hardens the skin where you
constantly irritate it. The lining
like the skin-becomes calloused.
Its natural functions cease.
Then you take physic ottener-then
larger doses.
Eventually the bowel lining grows so
hard that you have chronic cousti-
patton.
sPllls'' can't cure that trouble, for
they were the cause of It.

have done at first. Take nothing

1.-THE FULL DINNER PAIL"

The state labor department of New
York on April 10 issued a bulletin in
which it is stated that at the close of
1907 one out of every three union men in
the state was idle. The trades union
policy is to not only shorten the working
day, but to limit the number of working
days per week in order to insure work
enough for their members to provide
against want. For instance, the Inter
national Typographical Union has a law
prohibiting a member working more
than six consecutive days if there is any
member of the union looking for work
in the local jurisdiction. Many local
unions adopted a tive-day law early last
winter in order to distribute the work
among more men. Other unions do the
same thing, and this served in a large
measure to tide many men with families
over the winter. But if one out of every
three union men in New York state is
out of employment, what must be the
proportion of iobless men in the un-
organized trades and occupations? The
campaign slogan of The full dinner
pail would elicit more jeers than cheers
if offered to the workingmen of New
York today.

ROOSEVELT THINKS BRYAN STRONGER.

1t is of more than a little interest to
the people to know how the chief execu-
tive at the White House in Washington,
President Roosevelt, sizes up the situa-
ton politically in the presidential cam
paign as 1t now begins to pro-
portions of more thar imaginary size.
President Roosevelt is known to be an
astute politician as we'll as a close
student of public opinion. Therefore
his impressions as to the leading and
foremost candidates within the ranks of
democratic party and their relative
strength before the people is not only of
interest but of the greatest Importance
at this time. After an interview with
President Roosevelt on Friday of last
week Walter Wellman made public the
following statement in his paper, the
Chicago Record-Herald, a republican
paper of reputation throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States. 1t says:
President Roosevelt not only believes
hat Bryan is to be nominated at Denver
but that he is the strongest candidate
the democrats can nominate. Many
published statements have ascribed to
the president the belief that Governor
Johnson would be more dangerous to
the republican cause than Mr.. Bryan.
But these statements were founded up
on misrepresentation. Roosevelt has said
pleasant words about johnson and
realizes in common with all the Mime
sofa governors peculiar strength. But
in the final analysis Roosevelt thinks
Bryan the stronger la and the one
most likely to threaten republican
success

EN-PREs1DENT GROVER CLEVELAND is
lying at DEATH door, being afflicted with
cancer of the stomach. The doctors
pronounce his case hopeless. He was
the twenty second president of the U. s.
and the only democratic president since
the civil war, being elected in 1884 and
defeated in 1888 by Benjamin Harrison
and then reelected in 1892 over Mr..
Harrison by a plurality of 3S0,s10
popular votes. Mr.. Cleveland enjoys
the distinction of being the only presi-
dent married in the White House and
also of having the only presidents child
born in that historical structure. Upon
the succession of President Mckinley
Mr.. Cleveland retired to Princeton. n.
j., to spend the remainder of his DAYS
in that quiet university town. In his
earlier DAYS Mr.. Cleveland attained
high rank as a lawyer and was elected
governor of New York He was a man
greater than his party, assiduous. in
d~uS1rlous, transformations and dignihed
and was always noted for his thorough
ness and simplicity. 1t was under his
first administration that North and
South Dakota, Washington and Mont
tana became members of the union.
