THE CANDIDATE.

when the sap begins to rise and
the geese begin to mate, we hear the
gentle carol of the county candidate,
O, he's jolly fellow and full of vain
conceits, and sees bosom friend in
every man he meets.
He asks about your family, your
horses and your hogs, and shows a
friendly interest in the children and
the dogs. O, he's jolly gentleman
as gamesome as lamb, as blithe-
some as a meadow lark, and happy
as clam. His prospects are the
brightest and his chances they are
sure, and he spends his money freely
to help the needy poor. He goes to
church on Sunday and his pious
traits appear, but when its necessary
he will then set up the beer. O,
he's sanguine, buoyant duck, the
jocund candidate, he starts out early
in the morn and stays until it's late.
His patient wife unlocks the door,
and with look of pain she says,
You needn't lie to me, your legs
been pulled again."

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

Democratic Party Cannot claim On
sullied Virtue Al to Source of tn
Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Specify
"Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr.. Bryan's rsiter-
ated criticisms Of contributions to Re-
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York a Republican Legislature
In 1905 passed q statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation of the law
should be guilty Of criminal offense.
And know Of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
ncity Of campaign contributions and
for the prevention Of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises Of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
In power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, of course, DO
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations.. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the uncorrupted express
sion of the popular will lie at the foun-
dation of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguardsd. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal electiens. But it must
fairly be recognized that the skirts Of
neither party have been clean. II We
search Mr.. Bryan's following We shall
find not a few who have sinned, and
also those who, II We may Judge from
their local activities, are still unrepent-
ant The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of its revenues or
its readiness to receive them"

A STARTLING Statement
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.


Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
The post norton statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia, especially
when the victim was predisposed to
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable
stomach is unable to digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment, constipation ensues
and the victim becomes thin, weak
and haggard. AS result, the body
becomes fertile field for the germs
of disease to lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the
development of one of the most in
sidious and fatal diseases known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated. Bankers Drug Store sells
a remedy which they positively
guarantee will cure indigestion or
dyspepsia or they will pay for all
the medicine used during the trial.
This remedy it an absolutely new
medical discovery and has been
named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Certainly no offer could be more
fair, and the offer of Bakers Drug
Store is proof positive that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets are dependable
and infallible remeey. Inasmuch as
the medicine will cost you nothing
if it does not benefit you we urge
you who are suffering with indiges-
ton or dyspepsia to try this remedy.
A tWenty6ve-cent box of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets contains enough
medicine for fifteen days treatment.
Remember Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are only sold at Barker's Drug Store.
