neither will it admit any independent
committee to share with it its respon-
sibilities and duties.
"3. While the committee feels that
it sheuld not, and has no right TO abdi-
cate, or to divide its powers or share its
responsibilities with any other organi-
zation, it is the earnest desire of the
committee, and all of its members, as
we'll as all other loyal democrats in
Tennessee, that complete harmony
should be restored, and should perma-
nently prevail within the party, and in
every action heretofore taken, as well
as those TO be hereafter taken, the COM
mittee has sought, and will seek such
harmony. 1t is the firm conviction of
your committee that harmony is rapid
ly being established and will become
long before the time arrives
for democrats to again go out to battle
with the common enemy; and that in
its establishment many influences are
at work, among the most potent being
these:

The Twilight of Life.

The muscles of the stomach in old age
are not as strong or active as in youth, and
in consequence old people are very subject
to constipation and indigestion. Many sell
dom have bowel movement without artif-
cial aid. Many, also, have unpleasant eruc-
tations of gas from the stomach after eating.
All this can be avoided by the use of DR..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which permanent
ly regulates the bowels so that passages come
naturally, and so strengthens the stomach
that food is digested without discomfort

OVERTURES OF
INDEPENDENT
COMMITTEE TURNED DOWN
Nothing Doing so far as Chairman
Committee Is Concerned Look
ing to Reuniting Factions.

Nashville, Nov. 17.-W. o. Vertrees
chairman, Eugene WINS and ]. G. d.
Morton, secretaries of the state demo
cratic executive committee, yesterday
addressed letter to o. q. Barton,
chairman, and Thos. B. Johnson, Sec
retary of the independent state demo-
cratic executive committee, declining
the proposals for harmony recently
suggested by the'latter committee.
The letter to Barton is said to be bas-
ed upon the views of majority of the
state democratic committee, all of whom
were consulted and all but three ans
wered.
The letter is accompanied by a
lengthy address to the democrats of the
state, which sets forth Mr.. Vertrees'
reasons for declining the independent
committees proposals.
The address begins with reference
TO the proposals of the independent
committee, and the fact that Chairman
Vertrees mailed a copy of the indepen-
dent letter to each member of The reg
ular committee. Then it said:
Practically all the members made
reply. A majority of the membership
expressed the view that the committee
should not be called together at this
time, and majority Indeed, all who
replied, save two) state that they do
not favor any plan which deprives
your committee of the sole direction
and control of democratic primaries, as
the rightful and only state democratic
committee in Tennessee.
"Inasmuch as the title of this COM
mittee has been questioned, and it's
chairman charged with arbitrary ac-
tion, and the Barton committee, in all
its communications to your committee
and to its members, has claimed to be
the state democratic executive commit
tee of Tennessee, it is deemed advisable
to state the position your committee
assumed and will maintain, and this
statement is not made as the individu-
al views alone of the undersigned Off
GERS of your committee, but as the
practically unanimous view of the
membership of the committee as ex-
pressed in the communications recent
ly received and in personal conferences
with many of the members.
81. This committee, selected by the
convention which nominated Senator
r.. l.. Taylor for governor in November
last, and whose electors cast 12l, 500
votes for him in that election, is the
states democratic executive committee
of Tennessee; and,
Having been thus chosen and dele
gated by the democracy of the state as
its official representatives. the respon.
sibility so delegated to it can not be d
vided with or delegated to any one
without betrayal of trust, and especi-
ally is ii true that it can not surrender
its trust TO body protesting TO usurp
its functions. Therefore, your commit
tee will exercise its powers and dis
chage its duties. 1t will not abdicate;

Investigations have resulted from a
Misunderstanding between the state
and certain officials of the colored fair
held at Greenwood Park last Septem-
ber relative TO the farmers institute
planned for the same date and the
same place. The state has paid through
the agricultural department certain ex-
penses said to have been incurred in
holding the institute. The amount was
S84S5. Two or three prominent ne.
groes who had part in holding the
fair aver now that the institute was
never held and don't understand why
an expense account was turned in.
The matter was in the hands of Rev.
g, B. Taylor, who pays himself So as
one Of the judges of the institute. He
has also presented the state with the
following itemized account, which ac-
count has been paid;

Influences That Bear Upon Har-
monization.

I" (a) More than year mas elapsed
since our defeat in 1910, and the excite
ment and feeling then engendered have
in large measure passed away. Dem.
ocrats who then allied themselves with
republicans realize that now theil
rightful place is under the democratic
banner.
(b) Contests for county offices and
nominations are bringing democrats to
see the nature of their differences and
the desirability or harmonization, and
seeing, they are proceeding to them
selves execute the work of harmoniza-
tion. And, after all, an agreement
among a few state leaders can not ef-
fectuate harmony. To be permanent
and real 1t must begin and rest with
the people.
"(c) The failure of the much vaunt-
ed business administration of Gov.
Hooper has been disappointing to
many who supported him.
"(6 The bright prospects of demo-
cratic success nationally, which would
be followed by an administration of
federal affairs in Tennessee by the dem
ocrats and relief from the pernicious
influence OF republican officeholders,
influences many who have wavered to
now align themselves squarely with
the democratic party.
ssThose and many other influences are
rapidly producing that condition with
in our party which will insure next
year its complete restoration to power
in Tennessee.
"a. This committee recognizes the
fact that it is the will and desire of the
democrats of Tennessee that the officers
to be elected at the next election shall
be nominated and elected in general
primaries, and the members of this
committee having with practical una
nimity declared in favor thereof, such
primaries will be called by the COM
mittee, to be held at such time in the
spring of 1912 as may be hereafter
selected"
1t is not felt to be necessary to fix
the time and detail of the primary,
says the address, until after the meeting
of the committee, and also until after
have entered the field,
The address concludes;
"a The primaries will be held by
and under rthesupervision and direction
OF this committee, and none other. But
all democrats entitled to vote in Ten
regardless of past differences,
who will in good faith support the
will be invited and entitled
to participate in these primaries; and,
"6. In the selection of officers to hold
these primaries, and of all returning
boards, those voters identified in the
last election with the element in the
party known as independent will be
accorded equal representation.
"Those who really desire democratic
success and are not seeking personal
salvation will recognize both the fair
ness of the policy of your committee
and the advisabifiuy of letting the peo-
pie alone. +"

CAUSES 95 PER CENT OF DIS
EASES.
Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy Them.

Do not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and compli-
cations. An eminent doctor once said
that ninety-five per cent of all the ills
of the human body have their origin
in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a specially
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA tablets leads us to believe them
to be the greatest remedy known for
the relief of acute indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients
are soothing and healing to the inlam.
ed membranes of the stomach. They
are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest
digestive aids known to medicine. The
relief they afford is almost immediate.
Their use with persistency and regu-
larity for a short time brings about
a cessation of the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. AS evidence OF
our sincere faith in ReMall Dyspepsia
tablets, we ask you to try them at
our risk. If they do not give you en-
tire satisfaction, we will return you
the money you paid us for them, with
out question or formality. They come
in three sizes, prices 25, so cents and

only at our store-the Rexall store.

THE ROSARY"

called The Rosary" written by Ed

we'll known theatrical managers, Row

Quietly and modestly, with no blaze
of trumpets, it projects a quiet word
into our turmoil OF opinions, which
many believe will revolutionize u
ethics of marriage and divorce. AS an
illustration The Rosary takes you in
TO the heart Of an American home,
such as our homes are today. II

denly a canker sore is unmasked-
lack Of faith in the husband. Slowly,
little by little is seen the devasting
power Of atheism. how it saps the
strength and breaks the will so that
when doubt and suspicion creep in
they find a fertile soil for the de-
northumberland and revenge. Then
comes the spiritual power of a great
mana priest whose life is given to
mankind. Slowly he analyses the sit
uation and leads the husband and wife
whom he loves, out Of darkness to
happiness and peace. The Rosary"

The sugar habit" is evidently a

Of other countries, since the total
world production Of ugar, including
all countries for which statistics are
available, has increased 80 per cent
IN the last decade and about doubled
In - years. In our own case the o n
sumption has shown a rapid growth,
the per capita consumption having
been, in in 1880, 40 pounds; in 1890, 81
pounds; in 1900, 50 pounds; and in
1910, approximately S11a pounds.
What is the cost of this enormous
quantity Of sugar consumed in the
United States? That is more difficult
to answer The valuation Of that
brought from foreign countries and
our islands is set down at about 175
million dollars in 1910, and the stated
value of that product in the United
States, at approximately Is million
dollars; though this comparatively
high figure when considered by the
price per pound, is due to the fact that
the valuation is based upon the re-
fined article, while that of the sugar
from abroad is the value of the UNI
refined article in the country of pro-
duction. If, however, We accept a
general average of ) cents per pound
as the retail price paid by u people
for the 1-3 billion pounds of sugar
consumed by them in 1910, We should
get a total Of 1896, 600, 900, or an av-
erage Of approximately $1,000,0 600 n

THE CHANGING RATIO OF REPRE-
SANITATION IN CONGRESS.

The rapid enlargement of the house
has taken place in spite of successive
increases of the number of people rep
resented by the individual member.
Between the first and third ~censuses a
member represented supposedly $4,000
people. If that ratio had been main
tanned, the lower house at Washington
would today contain aobut 1900 mem
ers, and after 1913, more than $500.
A member today, however, represents
l9l,lS2 inhabitants-nearly six times
as many as a hundred years ago. AS
congress now approaches the problem
once more the vital question is that
of the ratio to be adopted for the com
ing ten years. To maintain the pres
ent ratio mean to increase the mem
bership of the house to upward of 40;
to raise it to something like 215,000,
means a membership Of 42J: only by
stretching it to 233,000 can a member
ship of the present figure be preserved.

been made, 0 is it now probable
