He has a good appetite, but no desire
for work or exercise. His sleep is trou.
bled, he has pains in back and shoulders,
a coated tongue and dark brown taste in
his mouth. He is dizzy when he arises
from STOPPING over. His bowels are irreg-

what ails himf Did you ever feel that
wayl The truth is he is bilious. His
bowels are clogged up. The bile and poi
sonous secretions of the stomach, not find.
ing their natural outlet, are being absorbed
by the blood. He is being poisoned
In all such cases take Smiths Pine
apple and Butternut Pills, which are an
infallible remedy for biliousness and all
other forms of liver trouble. Their effects
are quickly seen in a complete change of
spirits, regular daily movements of the
bowels, refreshing sleep and rapid return
of healthy appetite and digestion. Physi-
clans use and recommend. They form no
habit You should always keep them on
hand. These little Vegetable Pills will
ward off MANY ills

maps some of them have aspired to it.
He has remained quiet, but IL has been
whispered abont that he might be
candidate for Governor; and while
there appears t. b. no organization a
work to secure the place for him,
there are friends OF Fleetwood all over
the State, and if they get to work ana
back up their faith by their deeds
they can give him the nomination.
Fleetwood announces that ne will
not spend a cent in his canvass. He
doesn't really mean that. He must
spend some money Any candidate
for Governor must. But he will not
spend money corruptly or improperly.
and if he wins the nomination it will
not be because he has bought it,
Some people find fault because
Fleetwood doesn't get married; be-
cause he takes no interest in the fem
mime portion of the population Wit
would be glad to accord recognition
to man who knows how to wear
good clothes. There is a gray-haireo
woman in Morrisville who has given
Fred all the appreciation and atten

since he was swathed in his first long
garments, and he repays her with an
attention and devotion that leaves ne
opportunity for any other women to
find any fault. He has frankly an

hard names. which have not RULED
his temperate has kept tae even te-
nor OF his way. more concerned about
his health than his prospects, and at
present more interested in running
his automobile than in running for
Governor.
Col. Merrill has been attacked be-
cause he is feared by his possible
competitors They remember that a
few years ago, when he was chairman
OF the Republican state committee, he
had the organization in better shape
than it had ever been before. and had
made his calculations so carefully
that he was able to announce the size
of the majority before the election.
He has been in confidential relations
with the strongest men in the party
for some years, and when he has un-
dectaken the management of any
matter of administration or legisla-
ton he haa done it in a manner to
make a serious impression on those
concerned and to demonstrate his ca
pacity.
Olin is not man of wide friend

some of being cold-blooded Those
who know him best know that tne re-

Col. Merrill declines to enter it will
not be because he is afraid to, though
some politicians are already suggest

If he comes in he will have the undiv-

one exception That is what is known
as the Smith gang, which may be able
to keep st. Adams away from aim.
Charles W. Gates.
If Merrill does not come in there
is little doubt that Charles w uates
will be presented, though he has not
been a seeker after the office. Mr..
Gates is a strong man because he has
attended strictly to his own business
that of improving the highways Of

Humorous Sketches CT Men Already

Preliminary finals, as the sporting
men would call them, in preparation
for the race for tne goyernorship or
the nomination for governor, which
amounts to the same thing if p w.
Clement does not interfere, are book
cd to be run this month. Although
the great handicap event itself, the
convention, is still nearly a year in
the future. the process of selection or
the elimination of the unfit, is al
ready in progress, and by the time we
have passed the mid summer meeting
of the Fish and Game league aud IL
state fair it is expected that the final
selection of competitors will have
been made and that scoring for the
event itself will commence. Of course
under the liberal rules hat govern,
there is always an opportunity for d

DR.. Mead jumps into the arena in
