IHobson Gets a Frost.

How different from the demonstra.
ton at the afternoon session was that
at the night session. Another man
was upon the platform.
Richmond p. Hobson OF Alabama--he
Of Spanish bravery and kissing popu
larity-was invited to the rostrum.
Hobson had some good ideas but he
was too long in getting to them. He
predicted war with Japan, and his
prediction vas met with vigorous dis.
approval. He wanted to talk about a
better navy, but the altitude was too
dry for tho audience to listen to It..
They were too far from water-and, In
their minds, too far from war. But
Hobson is persistent. He would not
down. The climax came when Hobson
said he had talked with President
Roosevelt a week ago and that the
president expressed his belief that the
United States would have wal with
Japan.
There were cries Of NO" mo-" all
over the convention hall. Hobson tried
to go on, but they wouldn't let him.
He lifted his clinched hands above his
lead In defiance, but the frost was on
the convention and there was no
chance for the captain. Kisses began
buzzing owe the great hall. and not
until Chairman Bell threatened to
clear the balconies IA peace restored

pathetic. Brave, noble Hobson-hero
of a war-hissed and insulted in his
party's convention. Maybe the audi.
ence Is not to be judged. 1t was there
to hear of the commoner, and not of
war. 1t perhaps loved Hobson for the
heroic deeds he had done, but it didn't
want him now. Bryan was the one
mantle n theme-and courtesy
was thrown to the winds.

Nov 10 Cur
Your piles

Tf sufferers from piles and rectal dis
eases would first try reliable laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin instead
of using external salves and supposi-
tories, or having an operation performed,
they would save themselves a world of
trouble, expense and pain. The reason
is that in nine cases out of ten piles are
the result of habitual constipation, and
when once the constipation is thoroughly
cured the piles disappear.
Piles are to constipation what pirr-
pies are to bad blood, simply an out
ward symptom. And just as face lotions
aren't half as good for pimples as a good
blood medicine, so salves and suppositories
aren't hall as good for piles as reliable laxa-
tive like DR.. Caldwells SyrupPepsn
A 50 cent or 81 bottle will prove these claims.
and every druggist Is authorized to guarantee
results. Hundreds of people have written US
that DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best pile
cure they know of, and it Is surely worth trial
from you. Not only will II cure the piles but 1t
will permanently correct bowel trouble so that
you will have regular movements. 1t will tone
The stomach and make digestion easy for you.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is the best rem
edy for constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness.
flatulency, and all resultant troubles, such as
piles. arising from dsordered stomach, liver or
bowels Its gentle action and pleasant taste
make II especially suited to children and all who
are too weak to stand purgative waters, salts
| and gripping powders and tablets. A physic is
not what pile sufferers need, but steady. easy
! bowel movements. and these can be obtained by
the use of this wonderful remedy. It brings
about a permanent home cure at minimum oil
expense.

in Nose. Throat and Lungs.
If you cut your finger, you don't at
tempt to heal 1t by swallowing pill or
dose of medicine.
1t Is just as foolish to try and cure
catarrh of the nose and throat with pills
and stomach dosing, for catarrh is local
disease and needs special local healing
treatment,
The only natural and common sense
method known for the cure of catarrhal
troubles is Hy-o.mei. 1t is breathed
through an ingenious pocket inhaler, so
that its medicated air reaches the most
remote air. cells of the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, sooth-
ing the irritated mucous membranes and
estoring healthy condition.
II you suffer from catsrrhal troubles.
such as offensive breath, raising Of mu-
cous, frequent sneezing, husky voice,
discharge from the nose, droppings In
the throat, loss OF strength, spasmodic
coughing, or feeling Of tightness across
the upper part of the chest, you should
begin to use Hy-o-mei at once. 1t will
destroy all disease germs In the nose,
