What's Your
Liver For

ever stop to think? Know where IL is
what it does7 The liver is a hui
man filtration plant-removing deadly
poisons - disease-breeding germs -
from the blood. Lazy livers fail in
this-hence the accumulation of bac-
terra. These poisons over-run the
system-reach the stomach, bowels,
heart, lungs, bronchials, kidneys,
nerves and brain-then the only nat
ural consequence follows: SICK

All liver trouble MUST be rem

The Old BaIlinger Charges and the
New Issue.

New Issue.
Chicago Record Herald: The elo-
quence of Mr.. Webster on a memoir
able occasion is recalled by recent
developments in the Ballinger-Pin-
chot case. The senator from Massa-
chusetts began his second speech on
Foot's resolution with these words /:
when the mariner has been toss
ed for many days in thick weather,
and on an unknown sea, he natur-
ally avails himself of the first pause
in the storm, the earliest glance of
the sun, to take his latitude, and
ascertain how far the elements have
driven him from his true course.
Let us initiate his prudence, and, be-
fore we float farther on the waves
of this debate, refer to the point from
which we departed, that we may at
least be able to conjecture where We
now are
The investigation of Ballinger is
concerned now with assertions or ex-
hibits to prove that President Taft
had Lawler write his opinion of Bal
fingers innocence for him, that
Wickersham' summary was antedat-
ed, that there is conflict between
the White house statement which
was published Sunday and the pres
ident's letter to Senator Nelson
which. was published Monday; that
Ballinger was closely connected with
George w. Perkins of J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co., and that Perkins
sought Ballinger's help to secure an
expert who should accompany him
to Alaska for .''the investigation of
the feasibility of exploiting" the ter
ritory in railroad construction and
other lines.
Such are the waves on which we
are floating at present. But the
charges against Bal1inger were that
he had betrayed his trust both as
commissioner of the land Office and
as secretary Of the interior by try
ing to hurry through certain fraudu-
lent claims to valuable coal lands.
These are the charges that a COM
mittee of senators and representa-
tives set to work to investigate. and

invited William J. Bryan to admin

AN UNREASONABLE PROJECT

Vt WOULD be hard to conceive a
more utterly unwarranted project
i than the one which is being adj
yocated by some OF our fellow citizens
for the removal OF the iron bridge over
Elk River to a point further up stream
and a consequent building OF the new
State road so as to come in at the
foot of Bow street The mere fact that
this project would doubtless encounter
decided complications in crossing the
right of way OF the Elkton & Middle
town r. r. and the further fact that
it would entail very heavy additional
expense on both the Road Commits
sion and the town o. Elkton-these
apparently serious considerations are
but "trifles light as air" in the judg-
ment OF the gentlemen who are advo-
eating the project. They would have
us fix our exclusive attention on the
vast public improvements" that would
cnsue from such conSummatcd pro-
ject. Just what those public inn
provemcnts" might be, it is difficult to
state Thus far we have heard men
toned only the increased wharfage
faci tiles" But when did it come to
pass llldl lllS lNiiI''N al vi VI lbSN "d'
necessary condition Of increased
wharfage iacilities?" The gentlemen
who have made that discovery are en-
titled to all the credit that belongs to
an idea that is certainly original
quite isolatcdly original-in the history
OF the words commerce In fact, it
is so original that the average man,
with no axe to grind" can hardly en-
terrain it seriously. Again we say
that it seems incredible that practical
men could seriously advocate so I'M
reasonable projcct-a project which
has nothing to commend it as COM
pared with the expense involved. Any
PUBLIC benefit to be looked TOR
from such move could easily be
!. ilieved otherwise Any PERSONAL
ends that are being sought by such a
move should not be tolerated either by
the State or town.
